How Do You View This As An African? by meedoLock(m): 1:22pm On May 25
As a fairly religious person who is only concerned about his personal connection with God aside from the peripherals, when I see the way we worship nowadays compared to the way our fathers in the past worshipped, I'm of the opinion that we have been bewitched or duped with our own ways in lieu of the foreign ways.

Yet, we still don't see this as one of the things that hinders our rapid growth, we have been brainwashed to erect many places of worship and not plenty factories where everyone can do something meaningful for their lives.


Note that I do not belong to the school of thought that "religion is a scam" but our mode of practicing it is what I have problem with.

Now, the big question is that "what happened to Africa religion"? Pls read below (copied) and let's brainstorm over it👇

As an African, you travel to Israel to pray on a wall. This is called pilgrimage and you automatically earn the title of JP.

As an African, you travel to Saudi to pray on a black stone. This is called Hajj and you automatically earn the title of Alhaji.

As an African, you travel to your own Ancestral home or village where you were born to pray on Stone, River, Tree, or any symbolic spiritual statue in your home, this is called Pagan.ism and tagged as [b]Fetish, Dem.on!c and Devi.lish.

Your comments on this..

…and this was why I freed myself from the chains of any religion. I live a good life. Anything I see after death, I take. Majority of religions created by man are the same. I embrace science wholly.
