He's just delusional. How does Nigeria fares where the majority of the citizens are religious compared with the countries topping the chart where there are many atheists and irreligious citizens?

The limiting effects of religion and belief in God, supernatural things, and prayers are glaring in Nigeria being a failed state.

That, is the single thing destroying Nigeria. Those who believe think they know so do not bother to ask and knock and seek with their own senses. Instead, they believe what they are told, and the bad believing shows that we haven't yet understood the "religion" not to talk of try it out.

I mean, how can anyone believe they would die if they ate the fruits of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil when Adam and Eve surely did not die when they ate, but their eye's opened, they gained wisdom, they freed themselves from slavery in Eden and became self employed and lived for 930 years and then died? Yet, some do believe such things and say "skool na scam"!

One day we'd understand even the psychology of that which we read and the psychology of we the reader, then shall our eyes open to understand that beliefs must be examined and tested so we may know.

And to be honest, it's why I rejoice. For at least 2% of the 2% are here, asking, knocking, seeking, critically analysing just about every post so we may learn and grow.

The Gods, they say, are wise and all knowing.

CanadaOrBust is saying, without the fear of hell we Nigerians would be more hungry and kill more fellows for bread which would have been a lot more unsafe.

My Lord, are we not safer for having read books than we would have been if we hadn't?

My dear buda we already living in hell. I've been on that Kaduna train 4 times thinking myself safe from harassment and kidnapping but look at what happened to those other fellows, is this not hell my dear buda?

No, my Lord, this is not yet hell. Every single indicator is yelling it is going to get a whole lot worse, than hell, before we realise this ain't working and decide to change our ignorant believing ways.

Every nation that was at our current developmental stage faced it's shock before it changed and so might we. Drastically, unfortunately. And painfully.

My dear buda with all my heart I hope this is the case.

Forgive me for saying this, my Lord, but hope is another one of those magical jujuical wishing and a prayer manna from heaven that we've always done and that keeps giving us the result we have that we are here describing as hell.

No nation built itself on hope, my Lord. They said, "Let there be", then they got off their asses and made it be and it was.

We too will learn how, someday. When is what bothers me, and how bad we let ourselves get before we decide to learn.
