paxonel:Lie It groups and divide people then teaches them to hate another group. E.g Muslims Vs Christians, olumbu olumbo Vs protestants, Catholic Vs Anglican, Shia Vs sunni 2. It creates a sense of belonging to a group Yeah, group of terrorist and fraudsters 3.It offers trustworthy and safe social engagement Na lie Pastor dey shag members wife. 4. Provides moral guidelines to live by (i.e. the importance of doing the right things) Deceive yourself. It provides guidelines on how to bomb people and defraud innocent gullible people of their 10% monthly earnings. 5. It teaches compassion, forgiveness and gratitude Even the concept and attribute of the deities they worship doesn't forgive. E.g Yahweh and Allah dey vex with another deity they called Satan. 6. It provides spiritual gratification of the mind A ridiculous religious jumbu humbo with no coherent meaning. 7. It is a source of hope for supernatural interventions which positively influences mental health and emotional wellbeing.Another ridiculous religious jumbu humbo with no coherent meaning.
Lies They don't accept LGBTQ community. 9. some religious sects are dedicated to build intelligence of locals encouraging them to learn how to read and write It is a means to an evil end. It is called colonialism, teach them rubbish and Rob them. 10. They provide material needs to the poor among them You must be joking. Go church collect money let's see So all the people with begging stories on nairaland don't belong to any religion abi? 11. Religion encourages unity among tribes, races and the various economic classes in the society Is a lie. It favours a race over another. Where is black Jesus? They tag your tribal rituals as demonic. They value the rich. E.g special sit for a governor. No be Peter obi the rich trader churches were giving him mic up and down? 12. it kicks against political and social excesses/decadence and acts as a voice for good societal and cultural values Deceive yourself. No be Peter obi the politician churches were giving him mic up and down? What of Buhari and the rest. Was it for preaching the gospel they handed them mic ? 13. some religious organisations build and manage private educational institutions. Yes they milk the poor (offering/tithe), build school's for themselves and the children of the elite which the poor can't afford. 14. Some religious leaders provides counselling and family support to their members You call telling people their uncle which live in the village is the one causing their problem counseling? 1 Like |

paxonel:You are yet to list benefits of Theism, then we will list for A.theism. We have Atheistic religions, hope you know. “Followers were described as Cathars and referred to themselves as Good Christians; in modern times, they are mainly remembered for a prolonged period of mutual conflict and religious persecution – widely regarded as genocide – by the Catholic Church which deemed Catharism a heretical sect.” By fire, by force trinity 😂😂 1 Like
