How Do We Confront Religion? by lawani(op): 5:00pm On Dec 27, 2024
How do we confront religion?.

We know it will be rather hard to return religious folks to factory settings which is a situation where their spirituality whether monotheistic or polytheistic is a part of their culture and they will not be surprised to encounter foreigners doing it differently. That was how it was worldwide in the past and that is how it is today amongst the people today that do not have religion. Religion is militant spirituality that insists on converting the whole world to their holy book while normal ancient spirituality is peaceful all over the world. Shintos in Japan are brothers to iseese in Nigeria, Hindus in India, Confucians in China and etc and vice versa up till today. To return religious folks to factory settings like their ancestors will be difficult but what we must insist on is that they should please in the name of God get out of the public space. Islam and Christianity should not be practiced in public buildings and neither should they use anything public. Hopefully overtime and after the restriction is effected, the whole world will gradually return to the tranquility that existed before Christianity became a thing. Religion is just another reason for human beings to hate and kill each other. This is what every lover of humanity's progress should join hands to make a reality.

Op man and religion were born together.

And if you watch the movies of the past eg Atilla, Jason and the Argounuts, Odysseus even Game of thrones, all show that paganism was the world's religion wherever you look at eg Europe, the Americas, Africa, Australia, etc

So, It is in this paganism that God through a pagan born son called Abraham, used to plant down His own religion that man would not claim that they did not know that the paganism they know and were born into was not approved by He Who Owns this House we call the world.

So, a man must have a religion, even if a religion of refusing popular religions. or a religion of God hatefulness, but a man must have a religion

Man and religion were born together?. Do you mean there were missionaries threatening unbelievers before Christianity?. Man and spirituality, language and etc were born together while religion was invented around two thousand years ago

Why do you think I am a Muslim?. I am not. I don't follow any religion. I just accept there is God with the spirituality of my ancestors

Man wasn't created to be religious but spiritual. The ancients spoke or communed with God and gods. In the bible men spoke to God and vice versa
Man then fell into a state of Amnesia, Ignorance or forgetfulness and then find it difficult to commune and get answers from God. God then often choose someone to talk to the ppl. Some of those God men in pride began to seek worship and then created religion. Instead of showing men the right things to do to know how to commune with his God again and get direct answers. They taught men to listen to them. They copied from the laws of the ancient to create their own rules known as Dog-trines(Doctrines). Men then accept that the only way to know God is by going to the Circus center of their god men aka churches and obeying their Dog-trines

Man was created to be spiritual not religious!

Lawani, religion is based on everyone's cup of tea. What is causing issues is imposition.
Blame janjaweèds for religious rancour in Nigeria
