I kinda agree with you...ban Religion as a whole..
It's contributing nothing but problems to the world especially Africa..
Blackee how are you?

Reflect7:
NO. YOU CANNOT BAN RELIGION AS A WHOLE. NIGERIANS MUST BE FREE TO WORSHIP THE GODS OF THEIR ANCESTORS THE WAY THEY DID BEFORE FOREIGN INVADERS CAME TO TURN THEIR HEADS UPSIDE DOWN WITH ''ALAHU AKBAR'' AND ''HOLY GHOST FIRE''.

AFRICAN RELIGION IS THE FIRST OF ALL RELIGIONS, AND TO THINK WE ARE HERE KILLING AND HATING EACH OTER OVER 2ND RATE NONSENSICAL FABLES AND GARBAGE FROM EUROPE AND ARABIA IS UTTERLY REPREHENSIBLE.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
Don't you think it still comes to the same thing?
Serving an imaginary creature?

Reflect7:
AFRICANS HAVE NEVER BEEN ATHEISTS.

AFRICANS BELIEVE THEY WERE CREATED BY AN INTELLIGENT, POWERFUL ENTITY.

limeta:
We dont need nigeria
What about that

FERNANDEZISBACK:
And that's what's killing Africans..what difference does it make if you believe in a white man's religion and can't think for yourself?
Same thing will take place if you still practice your so called Africa religion..makes no difference..they all revolve around a nonsense that doesn't exist..

Reflect7:
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT A CREATOR DOES NOT EXIST.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
Same way you don't know that it exist..
A god is a supernatural being (hence person or personality) that has control over nature..events.. people etc...Gods were the result of human tendencies to personalize events and anthropomorphize the unknown...

But in our thousands of years of history we have realized little by little that there are natural processes and that humans can work with them...Some of these interactions started out with rituals to appease the gods they thought existed.. but as time went by the rituals fell away...

gods weren’t there...They never have been...There is an impersonal nature in which we live and it took us time to figure it out...

Well no...We understand thunderstorms ..clouds.. the hydrological cycle..wind...We have weather forecasts that while imperfect, are still a lot more accurate than giving credit to God or to gods...

We do things...God and gods don’t... Any god has had sufficient opportunities to speak up for himself or herself and make their verity known...They haven’t..Not only is there absence of evidence...We have looked...We have sought. We have asked and begged. Nothing...
So what else do you need to proof that all gods regardless of who brought them are man-made?

Reflect7:
The first thing you need to note is that the universe is a huge place with multiple dimensions of existence.

You cannot 'search' for God to appear in a material universe, as God is a spiritual entity.

'Spiritual' means of a different dimension. A different frequency or wavelength.

SCIENCE recognises that there are many frequencies and dimensions in existence.

What we can see as humans is less than 2% of what is really out there, as we can see only reflected light, and cannot see what we know as 'dark matter'.

In that vast unseen space is where exists the various dimensions tat are closed to our human 5 senses.

When we 'die', our souls exit our bodies and return to those unseen dimensions where the souls of the 'dead', deities, gods, and the Almighty, dwell.

Reflect7:
Once we ban all foreign religions, Nigeria will become unrecognisable to you. SUDDENLY PEOPLE WHO HATE AND DESPISE EACH OTHER WILL START DOING GREAT THINGS TOGETHER, IN LOVE, PEACE, HARMONY, AND MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
In conclusion you want me to force myself to believe that there is a creator up there who I will only get to meet once I die..

And for the time I have on earth I should spend my time deceiving myself that a god exist even though there is no single proof..sounds d**mb..

Reflect7:
You don't have to force yourself or be forced. In the new Nigeria I spoke of, you will not be forced to worship any God.

BUT you will not be permitted to follow FOREIGN, IMPORTED RELIGIONS which have only caused us mayhem, war, disunity and disorder.



Basic intelligence should tell you that there is a supreme intelligence behind our existence.

The accounts of near-death experiencers was what convinced me 100% that there was an intelligent Creator.

You want to believe that the white man's religion should be banned but Africa own should be allowed to be practiced by Africans like they are being forced to..
Does it make no difference?looks like you despise anything related to the white.. hence your stance..

Well if you say white man's religion should be banned then all should go along cos they all serve a non existent creature... simple..

limeta:
Get well soon
You not serious or you a kid

Reflect7:
Naahh.... Africans were progressing just fine and were not fighting religious wars, and there was no religious terrorism before the whites and arabs invaded with their violent, blood-thirsty faiths.

African religion does not believe in capturing more and more adherents and followers for one's faith. So the impetus for mass conversion and evangelism is non existent.

It is a totally different approach to worship that makes religious conflict impossible.

SocialJustice:
Any president can do it with an executive order not necessarily a dictator.

OlawaleBammie:
I agree with the op

But which country in the whole world have u seen banned religion as a whole??deadbrain!!

FERNANDEZISBACK:
Christianity has entered sub-saharan Africa in the 4th century and Islam in the early middle ages...Both religions advanced only very slowly

So the question is why.. after many centuries of resistance and indifference did they suddenly convert in the 20th century? I think it is mostly because both religions are associated with modernity and African religion with backwardness...Africans have adopted the prejudices of the colonial regimes...

Also African religions are deeply connected with traditional society...As traditional institutions weaken and disappear in the modern world ..the religions that functioned as their ideological framework disappear as well...
So they are all he same..

Reflect7:
It was 19th century colonialism that led to mass forced uptake of christianity in southern Nigeria, and various slightly earlier (18th century) Jihads in the north emanating from the middle east.

Without those forcible, bloody interventions, Islam and christianity would be just as small as they are in places like India and China, with only a tiny few practitioners.



What has been 'weakened' by foreign invasions and interventions can be made strong again.

The British forced christianity on our ancestors by seizing our resources, and then making access to those resources dependent on acquiring a 'christian' education, in which all students had to drop their traditional faiths, and even their names, and get 'baptised' before entering the colonial schools.

So it was christianization by economic blackmail.
