[quote author=Jakumo post=109045699]Speaking up against religious brainwashing in Nigeria is as futile an endeavor as showing up in a whorehouse to preach the gospel of sexual abstinence. By repeatedly voicing his fundamental opposition to formalized religion, Daddy Freeze is amassing desperate, vengeful, and reckless enemies who would be prepared to kill on behalf of their respective Gods presumably because they believe that their Gods are not capable of standing up for themselves despite the status of omnipotence assigned to those deities by their worshipers.

Daddy Freeze is stirring up a hornets' nest by taking his stand against religion in Africa of all places. Rather than rail against religion per se, perhaps it would have been wiser for Daddy Freeze to limit his verbal attacks to those who dupe the gullible in the name of religion, or who massacre fellow human beings simply because of differences in the victims' interpretation of religious piety. Frankly, I fear for the life of Daddy Freeze, because the very religious intolerance he openly decries has motivated some of the most heinous crimes ever perpetrated by the hands of zealots through the ages.

Very true......,

Well said, but really we all can’t keep mute, me for one I’v seen a lot of guys with prospects whom we grew up together not attaining their full potentials just because of backwards religious beliefs and brainwash.

The importance of this topic cannot be overemphasized and it’s taking its toll on the development of Africa as a whole

Can Daddy Freeze point to any emperica data to support this? At least we have on record how many people died in the
US civil War, world wars Holocaust, Vietnam war, BokoHaram insurgency, Gulf war and more recently the Covid-19. You can just start making spurious claim without facts to support it . It's even more annoying how people are supporting Daddy Freeze on this claim

This man always avoids mentioning Islam, because he knows they're not as tolerant as Christians.

GodHatesBigots:
Especially Islam and Christianity - they should be banned !!!

ya ! They should be bound from our political space .Everyone should practice Thier religion privately. No public preaching and disturbing people with mega phone .Evangelism should be carried out just like the way the Jehovah witnesses preach quietly to people without making notice all over the place .
.The morning call from the mosque should also be bound too..Anything that constitute to noise pollution must be eradicated..
Govt must have nothing to do we religion ..it is one of the problem of Nigeria.And the reason why Nigerians cannot think objectively.
So I concur.

Religion is not the problem. The people are the problem.
The same religion has saved a lot of lives since before you were born.

Seconded

Ignorance has killed more sha. Ignorance is the killer, not really religion.

And ignorance + religion if not managed well is a time bomb.

Uhmmm, what you typed up there, does it really make sense to you? Maybe you need to read it again.

...I am insane aren't I? Sane man you will know the truth when you die....

TicketGreen:
Chairman Mao of China responsible for over 39million deaths.

Stalin of Russia responsible for 9 million deaths.

Adolf Hitler with the Holocaust...

Uncountable wars because of land, but religion is the biggest cause of death?

Stop ploughing people's wives you won't hear word

you know history did not start in the 20th century. Do you know how many people that the catholic church killed during the inquisition? or how many that the ottoman empire killed, Do you know that religion is the justification of the trans-atlantic slave trade, Countless wars have been fought in the name of religion, these are all led by religious fanatics, people who thrive when others suffer, people who consider themselves as the chosen ones when they are not the ones suffering. people like RIghteousness 89. You need to understand that religion has nothing to do with believing in God. Religion is an institution that has taken our need for spiritual guidance and weaponized it into a money-making venture that will kill just to maintain its grip on the neck of the people. that is why Righteousness 89 comes here to sow fear. That is religion

Grandmeister:

He believes he is talking to neophytes. The holocaust wiped off close to 6 million Jews in half a decade. The first and Second World War caused a death and destruction never before seen in all the history of mankind. The Nigerian civil war claimed three million igbos. All these in less than 60 years. But if you want to sound woke and ‘enlightened’ just shout “religion”.

The dude has always had a grouse with pastors and mainstream Christianity. Directly and indirectly, he has thrown his jabs at pastors and Christians. This doesn't look too different from some of these subtle jabs. From his unconventional stances against Biblical tithing, giving in churches, going to church, etc., he's always vented his frustration against the church. He did this in the past while claiming to be a Christian (albeit one with some special biblical knowledge).

Just that, this time, he is trying to appeal to the mind of "woke," "non-religious" people... Anyone with some sense wouldn't take him too serious. He is just a confused and bitter entity.

justli:
Hitler, Stalin and Mao where atheist communist.
And these three put together in attempt to push their ideologies have killed millions. Religious violence pales in comparison to the carnage that atheist communist have committed across history... But of course, freeze wouldn't know this. Bashing Christianity is the sure way to remain relevance and hence steady paycheck

Just to buttress the points above, see this article I from Washington Post: "Remembering history's greatest mass murder"


https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2016/08/03/giving-historys-greatest-mass-murderer-his-due/


The men highlighted on this article are atheist that hate religion. In the absence of religion, men become God, seek worship and do worse things ever imaginable.

What happens after death, I need your opinion on this.

No religion has killed more than CHRISTIANITY -THE RELIGION OF HATE .

Wars - 1.2 billion lives


This guy just needs contents to make money from. Take this ignorant idiot seriously.

Religion or religious beliefs are not anti-development. The civilization of the USA, Switzerland, UK, etc. we're but on Christian values. Cultures that encourage open discussions and philosophy would definitely facilitate development. Cultures that don't wouldn't.

Damnnn niggarrrr
I hate religion with passion
If I have my way those religious institutions will be paying tax

Forget, you no hate religion reach me.

ya ! religion itself is not a problem but the use of religion to cause problems by our corrupt politicians and fake and greedy religious leaders is the problem.They have turned religion into a tool to cause hatred & disharmony among people .They have succeeded in breeding bigotry among the people against others , they have use religion to oppression thier poor subject , and use it as a tool of distabilization and destruction among these people.Religion is supposed to be use for the good of humanity but some instructions written in the holy book are twisted and is being use to perpetuate evil against mankind .
So religion can be use for both good & evil .The latter is what religion is been for in Nigeria .

The total is between 16 million and 31 million deaths due to religion in recorded history. By comparison, 60 million people died in World War II.

Here's the breakdown, rounding to the nearest million (so the witch hunts don't make the cut):

The Holocaust: 6 million
The Crusades: 1-3 million
Partition of India: 1 million
The Inquisition: 1 million
30 Years War: 3 - 11 million
French Wars of Religion: 2-4 million
Nigerian Civil War: 1-3 million
Second Sudanese Civil War: 1-2 million

This is aside the unaccounted death caused by religious ignorance. He's right from all probability that religion may have caused more deaths indirectly and directly than all he listed.

We have recorded deaths by caused inquistions, religious leaders and institutions for blasphemy in the medieval Times

u be mumu ooooooo

Africans would rather live without electricity and water than free their minds from mental, religious bondage.

In fact, that is what most Africans do. They listen to their foolish religious leaders who do nothing but keep them anchored to bad ideas from a previous epoch.

This guy should go and sleep, he has nothing to offer again.
Looking for cheap publicity through big names in religion.

Blanket statement. Reel out statistics so we know who is to blame.

Jesus Christ didn't kill and never commanded us to kill for God but love all.

Some religions command their adherents to kill because their gods are wicked weaklings.

Also, generally, those who use religion to kill would normally be killers without religion.

[s][/s] [color=#990000][/color] anyway, I expect people like you because we are in last hours.

I would rather vote for a credible and upstanding etheist that willing to lead Nigeria well than a wicked and twisted leader that claims to be a Christian or a Muslim .Anyone candidate with this attribute who does not belong to the two major religion is a welcome development to me. These two major religion( christain and Islam ) are filled up with hypocrites with wicked twisted minds .
For a change let someone without any link to this two religion to take the center stage for once .
