For Black Countries To Succeed They Must Drop Religion by babasolution(op): 1:15pm On Aug 05, 2024
Religion both traditional and foreign are a problem to Africans and blacks all over the world.

Religion beclouds the brain and prevents rational,logical and strategic thinking.

Religions removes the power from the human and places it with the unseen. It unempowers the individual.

until majority of black people atleast learn to move away from religion in all forms and embrace logical,rational, strategic thinking. They will ever remain unempowered.

Note: you can' never separate religion from your reasoning system.

Black people don't reason well and deeply that's why they are backward.

I agree! Religion has done more harm than good. It divides rather than unites. Everyone is a sort of "pagan / infidel / unbeliever" in someone else's religion - and is hated and doomed to dìe or worthy of being oppressed, discriminated or even kìlled. Religion also encourages complacency and laziness 🤐

This is a fact.

A human being's value in terms of ability to innovate, invent and conquer the earth depends on brain work and function.

Unfortunately, the brain of a human is what religion works on. Religion is like a parasite that infects the brain and slowly takes over the host until the human being become a zombie Incapable of sound, rational and logical reasoning.

Sound ,logical and rational reasoning is required for innovation, invention and scientific research and development.

For the blackman to develop, religion must die.

You can't completely eliminate religion at this point cos it has so many roots.
They best we can do is have a sensible government who's focused on providing the jobs and basic amenities that these religious people pray for.
Show them that they needn't pray for them. And that with some steady work and pay they can live wonderful lives.

I don't see that happening any time soon though.

Somebody once said that,"If you want to put out a fire , you don't blow at the smoke".

Provision of good quality education for the masses and the reduction of poverty in Africa is what will lead to progress and not just the eradication or banning of religion.

Europe didn't ban religion before they started making progress. What they did was to focus their attention on providing good quality education for their citizens to help them develop their critical faculty skills so they are able to use their brains the right and not submit it to religious leaders for manipulation.

That was what they did. African leaders should emulate them if we want to make progress

If you eliminate religion and don't educate the people nothing will change .

But you realise religion especially Arabic religion in black countries also contributes to lack of investment and interest in western education

Mind you logical ,analytical, and strategic thinking doesn't have to be from Western education.

But if your mind isn't beclouded by religious inclined thinking ( superstition) it can also produce good results
Re: For Black Countries To Succeed They Must Drop Religion by Kushites:
But white Americans are the most religious bible freaks in the world, and it didn’t stop that country from developing.

Even the convicted criminal Trump is primarily supported by millions of white so-called ‘Christian Evangelicals’, many of whom believe him to be ‘Jesus’ returned.

Those ‘Christian evangelicals’ are guided in their ideology by a deeply racist, hateful interpretation of bible principles, and are the biggest population of gun owners in America, and among the largest voting blocs in the country!

So if you think blacks are over religious, you haven’t seen white American Christian Evangelicals.

Also, the so-called ‘Jews’ in Israel are extremely religious, and EVERYTHING they do, from rejecting pork meat to eating kosher food only, to marrying only fellow ‘Jews’, is all controlled by their religion.

The Japanese have over 100,000 shrines, some built and maintained by the government. Their religion, Shintoism, is identical with EDO religion, featuring deities, ancestor veneration, water spirits etc.

Yet Japan is a very advanced country.

So the problem is NOT that Africans are religious.

The problem is that Africans practice FOREIGN IMPORTED RELIGIONS imposed on them by RACIST CRIMINAL INVADERS, which do NOTHING for Africans except make them feel INFERIOR to the people who brought them the new white “saviours”, from “Jesus” to “Muhammed”.

So Africans need to RETURN to their traditional religion and UPDATE it in line with modern conventions as happened with other religions, and become AFRICANS again.

When you do that, you will rise again.

White America even though I don't really think they are religious,shouldn't be a standard for blacks,America is an exception to the rule.

Also blacks are in such a bad state that drastic measures have to be taken to uplift their status.

Pure logical reason, intellectualism,should be the guiding light of blacks at this point

The difference is they are practicing their TRADITIONAL religion and culture, while we are practicing worship of WHITE MAN and ARAB MAN, via fake “saviours” like Jesus and Muhammad.

Indians are FREE.

You are SLAVES worshiping white/Arab FOREIGNERS.

That’s the difference.

Oga for blacks to succeed they must be restructured along ethnic lines like Europe

With each ethnicity controlling their land, resources and security

If you try this country structure we have in Africa in Europe they would have killed themselves completely

Fundamental thing is to restructure Africa along ethnicity else nothing would happen

You need a moral basis for your nation.

A moral grounding.

No country hangs on nothing.

All successful nations have an indigenous religious system on which they are based.

The reason is because technology and intellectualism alone will not guarantee that your society develops based on fairness, justice, empathy, and probity.

You need a moral grounding, so that you don’t need to police or force people into doing the right thing, and it comes naturally from them.

It will solve some problems but ultimately it wouldn't make much difference if the people cannot reform their thinking

A countries moral grounding can be based on a common law,individual moral grounding can be based on the individuals thoughts

Dude, the average Japanese man on his way to work in the morning, STOPS OVER AT A SHRINE to do a short prayer to the deity of the shrine. Japan has 100,000+ shrines.

As they are walking or driving to work, they stop at any nearest shrine for a couple minutes to pray or drop food or flowers as SACRIFICE. It doesn’t matter to them who the particular deity of the shrine is.

Shintoism is their national religion.

When a Japanese man buys a new car, he takes it to a SHRINE for the traditional Shinto priest to pour spiritual water over the car, for safe journeys in the vehicle!

Their shrines are well built and maintained, since Shintoism is the official national religion.

In fact JAPAN is what AFRICA would have been like in terms of religious practice, if the thieving Europeans and Arabs had not forced their fake religions on us.

Look,traditional religion doesn't interfere with reasoning systems that much because it's based mainly on laws and regulations it's logical ,full of do's n don'ts.

Unlike the foreign faith based religion which is ideological( alters thinking processes)

I agree with you on traditional religion, but in my opinion it might be inconvenient to go back to it,as it has been neglected and might have become archaic.

So the alternative is to do away with religion all together

Nope, Japan is an atheist country.
Japanese are very intelligent people.
They are the most intelligent people on earth according to 2024 IQ rankng.
Their food alone will tell you that it's only intelligent people that can eat that kind of food and average life expectancy in those countries are not less than 80yrs.
Top IQ countries which are south east Asian countries are all atheist countries. There is a reason why they didn't continue with religion unlike black and Arab people.
