frosbel:

Let me drag you back to reality, we are talking about Israel here and the positive contribution of Jews , many of them devout.

If you so hate GOD , go and live in Russia or North Korea and enjoy the madness.

After all these coutries are full to the brim with your foolish atheist brothers ,  .

kabukabu:

Contributions of Isreal as in whatwhat have devout jews invented in the last decade?, or devout christians or Muslims, please, give me a break.All the "devout" religous people in the world have given us is endless strife and slaughter everywhere, and their unending intolerance for each other

You need to get a grip on reality,pal.

davidylan:

I read the OP's article and i would love to call foul on it. Bogus nonsense.

The writer failed to indicate the number 1 reason Africans are religious - poverty. period.

@Blue Diva: Whoever you are, where ever you are, you are blessed. Our God is not a jerk but the most High. I agree with the writer to a large extent but i do not share the part THAT RELIGION is to blame for our woes, rather I'll blame the lack of it. To start with, how truthful are we as a people to the different religions we profess? Our leaders cart away huge sums of money and go to church the next sunday without any remorse. Our religious leaders gallivant the world on private jets (and collect moneys from whoever regardless of the source) while members wallow in abject poverty. Those that are benevolent enough to assist, see it as an opportunity to take undue advantage of the assisted. Our youths are on the internet perpetrating all sorts of nefarious acts, yet they'll lead the prayer calls every Friday. They halt all evil activities during the fasting period (means they know what is right) and resume the very next day after. So many examples to give about our untruthfulness to the religion we profess, and that brings me back to the article and my humble submission. I strongly agree that people need to start being accountable whether political leaders, religious leaders or even parents and youths but in a country where morals count for NOTHING, we would be far worse off had their been no religion.

davidylan:

Sometimes there is no need responding to clearly uninformed posters such as this.

kabukabu:

You're a mindless nitwit, did you even read the quote I was responding too, or you just glanced at mine and all the little ants in your thick head decided there was going to be a revolution
Piss off.

umechuma:

I completely agree with you.Poverty is the number reason why Africans are religious

Evil Brain:

It's not that simple. Poverty makes people religious, but religion also breeds poverty. The two are closely related, where you find one, you find the other.

davidylan:

you were mindlessly responding to a valid quote from frosbel. If you think all religion has given you is strife and intolerance then you may as well move over to Russia or North korea . . . they've got all your fellow atheist brothers.

When you have no idea what devout jews have invented in the last decade then i'm wont to consider you another misinformed noise-making nitwit. But of course . . . ad hominems is the last refuge of the brainless.

kabukabu:

Actually dolt   most of the population in the most advanced nations have increasing population of less devout religous devotees, this does not mean that they are "athiests", Mr TURD.Japan,most of Europe and increasing parts of Asia and latin America.

Clearly you don't understand nuances that exist in discussions such as these.So why don't you zip  it and perhaps go beat yourself off, somewhere else.

davidylan:

absolutely untrue. Africa was in poverty long long before the white man and arabs brought their religion to us (surprisingly they have always been richer!). What religion is responsible for the crushing poverty in north korea?

The amount of uninformed nonsense that passes for comments here is incredulous.

davidylan:

nonsensical idiocy.

1. why have you consistently tried to ignore the references to russia and north korea? I guess it doesnt square with your biased talking points right?
2. It is quite true that most advanced nations have increasing populations of less devout religious devotees, but these same nations were way more advanced than we were at a time when they had a large population of highly devout religious devotees.

Evil Brain:

Hilarious, this guy actually thinks there was no religion in Africa before the white man came. Words fail me.

kabukabu:

I'm done , lol @"nonsensical idiocy"
Instead of arguing with ya , I'm going to donate some money to the United Nations Fund for the Mentally Handicapped on your behalf.

i see i am going to have to kick some ballistics up in here. what you people need to understand is that we as a black people are going through what we are going through because we are black. us black people are behind enemy lines. we are under siege. the only thing keeping us afloat is the few pious black people still praying and interceding on our behalf. listen, we are in a world controlled and run by diabolic fallen angels and we, black people, the original people, are the reminder to the fallen angels of the scorn he has for yahweh. we are the constant reminders of the lords creation. remember we were made in his image and the fallen angels hate his image. other 'races' of people have mutated away from that original image when the land mass gondwanaland split apart and drifted into extreme climes and these peoples features had to adapt to the climes and their melanocytes atrophied somewhat and stopped producing melanin etc etc. these other races are far removed from the image of the original man. our looks are a constant source of irritant to beelzebub. so seeing as he controls this world, he has made it his mission to destroy us and make our existence a living hell. he has occupied the minds of those who dont remind him of yahweh and is using them all against us to destroys us (racism, colonialism, slavery, etc etc ). folks we are under siege. nothing we do short of getting our protection from the bigger force (yahweh) will save us. we are behind enemy lines and all other races are the pawns used against us. i guess what i am trying to say is that religion is not what is messing up the black man, religion is what is keeping us from being wiped out completely of the planet. 'religion' being a constant dialogue with yahweh and submission to his will. those few religious people believe it or not are the ones that are between our state of affairs now and being completely destitute and re-enslaved and turned into farm animals. of course we have some white people on our side too. the ones who have refused to let beelzebub use their minds by becoming themselves followers of yahweh. its a hard slug yall. we behind enemy lines dawg. this is a war zone. do you have your bullet proof jacket on ?

davidylan:

I guess that's your way of saying . . . i have no idea what this topic is about. Its ok though, too many id[i]i[/i]ots posting on what they have no idea about.

cgift:

But what is this rivalry all about? Can't you guys keep a clean slate. Arguments do not necessarily have to degenerate into vulgar languages. na wa o. You guys should grow up. Let us face the issue at hand please. I am very interested in this topic.

Did you just communicate in Swahili ?

kabukabu:

uh oh, guess area boys are not too fond of , Paragraphs

buzugee:

the black man is under heavy siege as a spite from beelzebub to yahweh. he messes with us to spite the creator. we, the original man, remind him of his arch rival, yahweh. thats why he uses other races as pawns to destroy us. nothing we do will ever be successful so long as we are under our own will. hence the state of all black people all over the world. we aint gone make it economically in this lifetime but we can make it spiritually individually. and no i did not just speak swahili
