LordReed: Religion is a tool of control. Religion is the only movement that I know that have succeeded in controlling man without force. All the sub-societies you listed are made up of men who subscribed to it. |

luvmijeje: Lol, after you claimed religion brings peace, orderliness...and so on You even dare me to mention a country that is irreligious and peaceful After I blew you with an answer you are now talking another different thing So you agree religion doesn't make a country peaceful or orderly contrary to what you mentioned earlier. Since religion can't give use road, infrastructure, social amenities, peace or orderliness. Then what exactly is the usefulness of religion to a country? 4 Likes |

luvmijeje:Religion thought people how to be lazy "God will judge" by the time we put death sentence on these idÃot stealing our funds you'll see they'll behave, you can even be the first female Governor, but Islam and Christianity forbids it. The government are failing because the people are relax, their phrase " God will take control" they kept saying that and they eventually believed it, the church is equally draining the masses, 1st offering, 2nd offering, followed by tithe, after this they go home relaxed because they believe they have sowed a seed. We have politicians and Governors build global churches and mosques so as to look good to those that voted them through religious sentiment, yet no good road, no electricity, no hospitals. Some state have been rendered useless by some terrorist because they believe their religion is better than others, if no religion, no terrorist. 3 Likes |

luvmijeje: Why should religion control control man? Jesus! The bolded, you must be joking right? All the killings carried out by Islam if you dont subscribe to their religion or belive in god? In the middle ages, women are burn on stake that they are witches, scientist killed, Galileo was forced to withdrew his scientific discovery just because it didn't align with what the church teaches Christianity made to be the national religion by Constantine and co in other nations Religion speaks ill of Gay, lesbians, transgender...? And speaks on way to deal with them? Zamfara state used the state money to build mosque and send people to Hajj? Anambra state used the state money to build church? Recently, an academic symposium was prevented in OAU? And you are saying what!!!! Are these not forced? 4 Likes 1 Share |

luvmijeje:This ^^^ was your response to the op post. I then asked you this So are we experiencing any of this?Here was your response luvmijeje: And I answered you
Here is your response luvmijeje: How am I missing your point. Didn't you claimed in your first post that religion brings peace, orderliness...? You dared me to Mention countries that are not religious and is peaceful. Which I answered you. And you are saying I am missing your point? The state of a country is determine by how its citizens behave not by being religious as you claimed. If it was so Nigeria and other religious countries would have been at the top. Please answer this, what exactly is the use of religion to a country, since it can't provide social amenities, give peace or orderliness just like we have seen in reality? Or can you tell me the benefits of religion? 2 Likes |

Reality11:She probably doesn't know who a Templar is, as for the dishonesty most Christian don't practice their faith, you wonder who is using all those hotels, who's drinking all those manufactured alcohol, yet they usually say this: "It's better to live like there is God than to die to discover he exist" But they forget that about 5000 Gods are now involved, the chance of them going to heaven is 0.02%, and I haven't remove points from their God mistakes and inconsistencies, I still haven't removed points from the unrealistic standard this God set for them At the end what you see are confused Nigerians just trying live through a hard economy without knowing what works. 4 Likes 1 Share |

GRIMMJOE: The Christians matter too much. The worse is. If you are even against jungle justice Christians/Muslims would insult you. You begin to wonder, did their religion says they should kill when one steals? Some would not literally pick up arm but they are okay with such acts. For me it is better the person who steals, because they have done worst by killing someone. |

The fact is that some people know their belief is entirely false but they still derive joy and satisfaction in it. Why? Because if they leave it, there is nothing to fall back on. There would not be need to pray for food when there is standby job available which only requires you to work, get paid and buy your groceries. There would not be any need to sacrifice your child for rain when you can forecast the weather and create a better idea to solve your problems. There won't be any need to seek God intervention in some healing school when there are better medical expertise with advanced equipment. There would not be need to always know God more when we find answers to our long unanswered questions. But then even if we all scrap religion and gods, some will still create one for themselves. Why? Because they derive joy and satisfaction in it. 3 Likes |

reigncalif1: Lol, and you didn't see the irony in your post? Something cannot come from nothing but boom your God magically just appeared? Where did God came from? I do not have much understanding about big bang or evolution because am not even a scientist. When am knowledgeable about this two then I'll see if I can embrace them. However your idea of religion and God has no evidence and proof. It only made claims out your inability to comprehend how the universe existed. The same problem you have with big bang or evolution, lies also with your idea of God. Where did your god came from? And back it up with evidence not just make claims. I don't know how the universe came to exist. And I don't believe extraordinary things or claims without evidence. 1 Like |

realmindz: You should have answered the question. You should have simply defined religion? You see, a man (man here used represents humanity - man and woman) was created with vacuum in his life. This vacuum makes man yearn for his Maker. The Creator made man this way so that man will reach out to him. Believe it or not, whatever fills this vacuum is what rules such individual. Such thing has become the god of such individual. Jeremiah 10:23 YHVH, I know that people's lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. I am not advocating submission to any man or woman in the name of spiritual father or mother. Submission to any denomination or congregation is totally irrelevant. Submit to your Maker, study his Word for yourself and obey his Commandments. This is exactly why he sent his begotten Son, Yahushua the Messiah, into the world and what he came to establish. There are many religions in this world, just as there are many gods. The god responsible for each religion has his dos and don'ts. The adherents of such religion - by that very fact the follower of such god - will be recognized by the dos and don'ts of such god or his religion. There is a God who made the heavens, the earth, the seas and everything in them. He made man in his image and gave him dominion over everything he has made. His name is YHVH (YAHVEH) El Shaddai. Some call him Yahweh, Jehovah, Yahuah, Yahuwah, Yehovah, and others. However, there is a distinguishing feature: OBEDIENCE TO HIS COMMANDMENTS. Those who belong to him are set-apart by their obedience to his Commandments. So, a person who calls him by his actual name but does not obey his Commandments deludes himself or herself. No one who refuses to adhere to the Instructions/Commandments of YHVH Almighty is his follower or servant. His Instructions/Commandments are found in his Scriptures. James 1:27 Religion that YHVH our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. |
