davodyguy:This is where most folks miss it ,even Idol worshipers live long,the Bible said sinners live longer sometimes because there’s no life for them after here. Achievements in life is not a function of religion but seriousness in life and building of capacity,a religious person without a good sense of judgment and understanding will be at disadvantaged in life because God gave us will and the power of choices. Also no one comes to Jesus unless God drags him to himself. Jesus is foolishness to the world but for us he’s the wisdom of God and the power of God unto salvation. God bless Wole Soyinka he’s indeed a rare gem,one does not need Jesus to become like him because God has already given us all it takes to be great on earth our choices makes us or mar us .For me Jesus is the best thing that can happen to anyone on earth not religion oo � |

Roycemadeit: [b]Which of the gods said this brother? Definitely not the one known as the Almighty God/The MOST HIGH GOD You have to be very wary of something bro. Even when we claim to be godless, we are actually serving a god whose mode of religion is godless. The honest truth is that there is no demilitarized zone. You are either on the Almighty God side or the god of this world side. Look at the Toyota cars for example, if the makers of Toyota didn't come together and build Toyota and still in existence to support the Toyota cars, there would not be a Toyota car as we have it today. If someone decided to abuse and misuse the Toyota cars and they become broken like the human race is today, you can't blame Toyota/or the Maker. Most people blame The Almighty God for the imperfections in the world which We brought upon ourselves. If we are humble enough to return our broken Toyota cars to the Real maker and abide by the Maker rules on how to use the Toyota cars, you will be surprised how everything will start going smoothly. The world today is planting selfishness and evil but wants to harvest good things. Not possible na This is how much I understand of this complicated world [/b] |

nlfpmod:Religion is just a creative something made up to regulate Man's excesses.They create fear within you, they tell you about a reward of heaven when you die you believed because you can't comprehended the fact that you will just go into oblivion at death. You never sit down to understand that what makes you human is just the series of memories stored within you, right from birth, once that memory wipes out you just become nothing. 1 Like |

omonnakoda: I am African, Wole is African and you are African as well. I am not insulting anyone I am merely looking at an outcome that has plagued us Africans and try to find out a solution to it. There are people like that in the US as well and their lives are just like what you see in Nigeria. Most of the Bible thumper you see are not good people, they are just people propelled by fear. Their actions are the reason people think religion is bad. When you meet someone who worships God out of love and faith, you will understand the power of religion and how it can be a force for positive change. That is all I am trying to say. Cheers |

ReacherSaidNoth:YHWH is the Law of Moses - the National Constitution of the State of Israel designed and given by God the creator to the people of Israel in the Land of Israel, a forever agreement/Covenant between the people and God. In similar manner, Jesus Christ is the Law and Constitution in the Kingdom of God given by God as an agreement He makes with individuals who choose to become citizens of the Kingdom of God, an eternal Covenant between God and men. |

Re: I Don't Need Any Religion - Wole Soyinka by Kobojunkie: 9:03pm On Nov 21, 2022 |
ReacherSaidNoth:Open scripture, read and digest it for yourself so you understand how before that Constitution/Law was spoken of, the Name YHWH was not even used. It wasn't until the particular Covenant from God to Israel was mentioned that the name became associated with It. |

GreatVocalist:You can look for the dictionary definition of the words there, I don't know how else to break it down. But take for example a scientific theory like evolution, it is backed by fossil evidence, embryology, morphological similarities, modern cases of speciation and so on. Then look at the creation story in the bible and all you have is just that, a story. 1 Like |

ReacherSaidNoth: See how you speak rubbish? Even the Greeks from their day 1 told us zeus was a myth which if you were a balanced thinker you would have remembered that it is exactly like the stories we have here of our own great and mighty men in our village and tribes. But like Sango and Ogun, The One Who Spoke to Abraham is still gets His devotion and worship with His Fame being known world wide unlike Sango and Ogun. So you are talking complete rubbish till the world ends, Christianity will always have its place. |

Professor has done nigeria and africa proud, as a nobel prize winner in literature, he is no doubt a critical thinker and i admire him just like many africans do. Religions have shackled africa and brought it to its knees in the mud. I agree perfectly. |
