Up that write up, you just described spirituality. Spirituality is getting connected to a higher power. Religion is more of a man made dos and don'ts.
SmartPolician:
Muslims should speak for themselves and I will write as a Christian. You see, we must make efforts to separate Christianity (as a religion) and the way people practice it. Just like most things, Nigerians bastardized Christianity (both Pentecostal and Orthodox churches), making some of us ashamed of what fellow Christians do.

By design, a Christian is a Christ-like person, meaning that you must have good morals. However, what we have in Nigeria today is outright hypocrisy, where people pretend to exhibit Christ-like virtues only in churches and during church activities. However, in their everyday life, you realize that they are monsters. They kill, steal, rape, fornicate and do all sorts of things Christ condemned in the Bible. While we are all sinners, the part I find shocking is glorying sins or making it look like a norm.

Therefore, Christianity preaches leading a good lifestyle and respecting the laws of the lands. In other words, the religion does not in any way impede development in Africa or anywhere else it is practiced. If a people who claim to be devout Christians don't develop their local communities and show love to their neighbors, please we don't blame Christianity for the failings of those people. Instead, those people have to reexamine the way they practice the faith.

While this post has focused mainly on Nigeria, I cannot exonerate the white man. The White men who brought us Christianity are no exception because we need to separate the message from the messenger, especially if we feel something is wrong with the messenger. If someone who brought you a message does not practice what he preaches, you don't blame the message. Instead, you blame the messenger for not practicing what they preach. We all have to keep this at the back of our minds.

Another truth many don't know
Religion teaches us to be perfect in the sight of God but we can NEVER be perfect. There will always be one flaw.
This is why I'm not surprised when a religious person 'commits don't

Christianity is not a religion. There's a vast difference between the two. Christianity is Jesus Christ in a man. Christianity is divinity in humanity. Those that brought the gospel may be wolves in sheep's clothing but it doesn't in any way belittle or downgrade the gospel.

Op. You simply have not encountered Jesus. When you encounter Jesus, the veil of religion will fall from your eyes...

Divide and rule.

Religion, Race, Politics all have the same purpose. Doesn't matter whichever side you choose, you've already lost. None here is asking the right questions, just bickering all over again.

Sigh. Christianity isn't the "White Man's" religion. There were African Christians before there were British Christians.
Just like Africans, Europeans were also pagans before they became Christian.


GuyWise:
Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

The whites I know wouldn't have brought their religion to Africa if it were truly the WAY to heaven, they will keep it to themselves and would never had allowed it to the reach of 'the inferior black man'.

They brought it to enslave Africa and render them useless, the brought their fake story of their jesus doing this and asked us to continue praying while they in turn use their brains.

Religion is a scam

Christianity and Islam start from when you are a child and defenseless to indoctrination and dogma's to tell you about a God. What can you do? You will probably believe because you don't know any better. Then you grow up with that mindset of a sky daddy with his host of Angels who are somewhere looking over you.

Having made sure to indoctrinate the child with religious stories and practices, the child grows up thinking is real and lives his life justifying every decision he makes around whether it pleases a God or not. He will discountenance common sense in defense of the God seed planted in him as a child. Then, he starts praying to this imaginary mental construct he has been made to believe is real.

When things go well, the person praises the imaginary construct. When things go bad, they blame a Satan or agree it is the will of the imaginary construct.

But, as an adult, do you believe Zeus is real? Yet, at some point in time, people actually did.

Stories of Israelites and their problems are used to tell of a Jewish God called Yahweh, and made out to be real.

But, when you actually take your time to read this stories, you realize they are côck and bull story of a weak tribe who were always at the receiving end of Foreign superior powers and their conquering spree. All the stories of Yahweh using his power to rescue Israelites are nothing but slaves consoling themselves and hoping that a power somewhere will rescue them from captivity. Today, Israelites have grown to develop actual weapons and high tech to deal with anyone who messes with them.

However, the repackaged fake version of their history is sold to Africans and they have swallowed it hook, line and sinker.

Will a European or American person or Chinese believe you if you told them that Amadioha was sent by a God to save mankind? They will need proof, and telling them your ancestors told you guys about Amadioha and his glory is going to make you look pathetic and a joke.

Here is what you can do to enlighten yourself more:

1) If you have not read the Bible before, try reading it today. The people telling you that you need to be in a silly spirit to understand the words are also victims of the same indoctrination and do not know what they're saying.

2) Stop acknowledging the mental construct (Yahweh, Jesus or whatever) in your mind. They are not real, they are real in your mind only.

3) Tell yourself that you are stûpid for believing in the côck and bull stories in the Bible or the texts of the other religious copycats. This works like magic and goes direct to your ID self.

4) Acknowledge that prayers are meaningless and will never ever change anything irrespective of whether you think they did or not.

5) Religion is an addiction, and has more addicting substance than Cocaine, Morphine and Heroin put together. I'm sure you already know that an addict doesn't know the dangers of their own addiction until it is probably too late. Can you distance yourself from religion for a week?

Trust me, you probably can't do this if you are addicted to religion. That's how to test your level of addiction to the faith.

Like other forms of addictions, suddenly withdrawal from your church or Religion has real psychological impact. But, like other addictions, the more you stay away from it, the better you will be for it in the long run. But, you have to start small. Start by reading the fake creation story in Genesis. Compare it with stories of religions that are older than the Abrahamic religions. Then compare it with the one of your tribe/race/ethnic group.
Wow! That was impressive I must say. I like how your points are brilliantly articulated.
Like you, I'll also try not to bore you with scriptural verses but to reason rationally through induction and deduction from data (evidence, signs, indications) obtained withing specific/given parameters. I wouldn't say I hope you "believe" in science because that'll make you a believer and it'll mean you have adopted a philosophical position (scientism) that cannot be verified, or falsified, by science itself. So I'll just hope that you trusts the expertise and integrity of cognition.

Both science and common sense attest to the causality principle which states that "all real events necessarily have a cause. The principle indicates the existence of a logical relationship between two events, the cause and the effect, and an order between them: the cause always precedes the effect". Again, I hope you trust this to be true.

If so, I'll like you to relate the causality principle to procreation and then the simple induction/deduction will come in handy. I want to believe you already get the point I'm driving at.
Science can not explain the existence of a phenomenon without it's origin (causality). That being said, how can you explain the existence of man (the first man) without turning to religious scriptures for answers?

Science isn't the only source of human knowledge my friend. And once you accept that science is the only source of human knowledge, you're again adopting a philosophical position that cannot be verified, or falsified by science.

Science doesn't take it itself to be the ultimate source of knowledge. However, science is just a means to understanding the reality we find ourselves in. Irrespective of what science says or didn't say or what they proved or didn't prove, phenomenon will continue to occur.

Science didn't cause this cause phenomenon's, but they try to understand it by first proposing a hypothesis before proceeding to test it using a systematic approach that is 100% repeatable. When you light a match stick near fuel, you know the immediate end result, is it not? But, what if the end result you knew didn't happen, will you say a God made the fuel not to light up? There are a billion and 1 reasons why the reaction you expected couldn't have happened, and none of them has anything to do with a God.

Religion is based on the unknown and dwells in what has not been explained yet. But, the fact that something has not been explained or known or conceptualized by our human cognition does not mean a God did it. But, as the years pass by, Science has been explaining a lot of things that religion used to instill fear and ascribe to the religious Gods in their texts.

Common sense dictates that the religious gods depicted in all the religious books are just mere human conception of what the people of the various era's thought a God should be. But, it has nothing to do with reality.

The Spanish Inquisition was actually the torture of the Black man, not the white man as depicted in pictures. That was when the mark of the beast, which is Christianity came about. You either accept Christianity or you will be tortured to death. If you were not a Christian then, you could not buy or sell anything. Black parents would rather kill themselves and their children than accept Christianity known as the devil religion. Man, it was brutal during that period. Then shortly after, the Transatlantic slave started.
Spanish inquisition has nothing to do with black man.
Spanish inquisition is about Catholics killing true Christians in Spain.

How does Religion stops Development?

You should've said extremism, because we have a lot of religious countries that have experienced immense development example UAE, Egypt, Israel.

And if you look at the reason for the extremism and fanaticism you will find out that it's because of a failed government, if the government is efficient enough who will care if a pastor have a Private Jet, who will care to juju(nize) his business partner, who will have time to terrorize, developed countries are running on this model, everyone will be just fine.

Africa didn't even solve hunger problem as it stands, why won't people be religion extremists afterall when they die they'll make it to heaven where there's surplus and unlimited food.

If you can't count on Government better count on God because atleast God will not fail you, that mentality.
Religion and development don't mix.

Like other forms of addictions, suddenly withdrawal from your church or Religion has real psychological impact. But, like other addictions, the more you stay away from it, the better you will be for it in the long run. But, you have to start small. Start by reading the fake creation story in Genesis. Compare it with stories of religions that are older than the Abrahamic religions. Then compare it with the one of your tribe/race/ethnic group.
I will never argue or dispute anything you said. But I am of an unshakable belief that life is spiritual.

There are other things happening that are not visible to the physical eyes.

Some have had palpable experiences about this spiritual side of life.

It's not about a monolithic God or something, it's about an esoteric system behind the physical system.

At one point or the other, you would want to delve into these matters if you are curious.

Up that write up, you just described spirituality. Spirituality is getting connected to a higher power. Religion is more of a man made dos and don'ts.
Exactly!

Divide and rule.

Religion, Race, Politics all have the same purpose. Doesn't matter whichever side you choose, you've already lost. None here is asking the right questions, just bickering all over again.
You ask the right questions then.

Islam doesn't teach violence that's if u truly wants to know...It should interest u that there is no local govt in Nigeria that has no church while there are many local govt in Nigeria that has no mosque.
That one is because there are no mooslims there. Even the church's built in core mooslim areas operate with weary and trepidation. But let's not derail this thread please.
