Meanwhile, Just a reminder in case you’re being misled to overlook the divisive ticket that Tinubu is running:

If a Muslim-Muslim ticket succeeds in Nigeria, things like nationwide RUGA and Sharia implementation will be back on the table and you’ll see how fast it passes on the legislative chambers!

Your only chance and power to fight is at the ballot. A word is enough for the wise

Why do people fear Man rather than God?

I would say most people aren't doing evil because they live in a society that frowns hard upon those things

jesusjnr2020:
To be honest it's something that baffles me even among so-called Christians.

I know a lot of Christians who are so humble before men, they would even literally bow down before their fellow men, try to do things to please men, but when it comes to God, Kai!

It's really astonishing.i

I even noticed that it was the same thing in the Bible, where those humble before God like David, Moses, Jesus etc., would be seen as proud by their fellow men, including those who are rejects or seen as proud before God like Eliab, Aaron and Miriam, and the Pharisees.

It's a real mystery.

Perhaps it's because they can't see God physically as they do humans.

Coz human mostly believe In what they see

Tickles001:

People can do great evil in secret and cover it up to avoid societal punishment. Most people don't do so because the they believe hell waiting.

let's assume there's no religion idea or god idea for a moment; Murder? There's only so many murders you'll commit before you're caught and hauled off to spend the rest of your life in Kirikiri or face firing squad and that's if jungle justice doesn't get to you first

There's only so much rape you can carry out before the long arm of the law catches you and you're ostracized, jailed, killed, murdered in revenge

I think its high time we give societal laws its due as its much more effective in keeping people good than some promise of afterlife punishment

In addition, this "holy laws" are hardly effective because you'll hardly see many of so-called religion adherents live strictly by the code of the book, I've witnessed Muslims have sex with minors and then take a plastic keg to wash their penis which to them is like washing sins away; plastic kettle, water and someone words to your god is all it takes to wash your pedophile act away, something that could land you long term sentence by most societal laws

This is one of the critic of religion, no matter how huge your sins are, you can always "wash" it all away by talking to your imaginary friend

Let us imagine what the society would be like if we wait for an agreed-on god to punish wrongdoers?

and such idea of Quran preventing murders actually fall flat when you look at certain Muslims killing in the name of Allah, so what supposedly prevents your Facebook friend from killing anyhow is also empowering some others to kill!

terrorists use one religion or the other as their reasons for the destruction they're doing

Well said.

I think people especially African people love stories more than reasoning. It's easier to give in to tales than to expend the necessary brain power, energy and time to reason.

You said your spouse is a Christian. How do you counter the stupid stories being told to your Children that warps their critical thinking skills?

E.g. Rainbows

A child in a more enlightened clime with properly educated parents may tell you about light refraction and dispersion while your child may tell you about the supernatural Hebrew monkey that drowned the world and created the rainbow to remind itself not to do it again.

I didn't fully understand u because ur comment is quite obfuscating,but there is a clear indication that u sounded a muslim

jesusjnr2020:
You don't have to understand me, just ensure you are not humble in the sight of men but proud in the sight of God. That's the most important thing.
