Well,the atheists in the Soviet union and many other communist countries got rid of religion and yet their countries failed

Religion also doesn't cause brain damage as you think it does , unless you want to say that religion causes strokes and brain tumors and traumatic brain injury to the affected, which are by the way the only scientifically proven ways of damaging the prefrontal cortex

And can you provide a link to the study proving religion damages the prefrontal cortex?

Also the preexisting brain damage was caused by head injuries

So unless you want to argue that every religious person has had an head injury ( not possible) or every person with a head injury is going to become religious ( also not possible) your assertion is wrong

Good to see you.agree with me

Don't waste your time doing one rubbish fasting, even oyinbo wey give una papa religion have abandoned the rubbish.

Now na HIV dem dey share give African women, FOLLOW ME
I daresay far more Africans are more likely to get HIV from another African than a white person.

Even the Kenyan woman that allegedly killed herself after the Russian was exposed was most likely positive beforehand.

Lent starts tomorrow Wednesday for some Christians
Ramadan for the Muslims also starts tomorrow
What a year to be alive to witness the coincidence.
Yeah.

Rare occurrences but I have witnessed at least 3 of such.

Which one is Ash Wednesday again?

Shebi you Christians have designed new Fastings for yourselves and abandoned the one Jesus did.

Different Churches with different Fasting period while ignoring Jesus' Fasting period.

Just call it the begining of Catholics and Anglican Fasting
What was Jesus's fasting period?
Give me a scripture or something.

You forgot to mention Mary in this prayer as a Catholic grin

Or you have stopped praying to or through her?
Later, you'll still call the "pastor"/"Imam" that's knacking your partner to pray for you.

Atleast the people you're mocking are asking the saintly souls who have fought the good fight and made heaven, to pray for them.

You are limiting religion to Christianity, I'm talking religion as an abstract concept.


It has been scientifically proven that religious fundamentalism affects the prefrontal cortex and cause brain damage.
That's great.

Kindly provide citations to your scientific claim.

It will be most welcome if the citations are very current (2020-2026).

Thank you.

Ash Wednesday marks the official beginning of Lent, a 40-day liturgical season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving leading up to Easter. In 2026, Ash Wednesday falls on February 18.
Key Meaning and Significance
Repentance and Mortality: The day serves as a solemn reminder of human mortality and the need for reconciliation with God.
The Symbolism of Ashes: Worshipers receive ashes on their foreheads, typically in the shape of a cross. These ashes are usually made by burning the blessed palm branches from the previous year's Palm Sunday.
Liturgical Phrases: During the imposition of ashes, a priest or minister typically says:
"Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return." (Genesis 3:19)
"Repent and believe in the Gospel." (Mark 1:15)
It is laughable how Christians pretend that they separate themselves from the Catholics, yet a lot of their traditions date back to the Catholic church, from which their roots can be traced back to. undecided
