Christianity brought freedom and liberty to the world. Majority of the good things the world enjoys today is because of Christianity. If you want to talk about real enslavement look towards the middle east.
YOU'RE CRAZY.

PROGRAMMED TO THINK UPSIDE-DOWN.

CHRISTIANS SLAUGHTERED AND RAPED YOUR ANCESTORS, AND PLUNDERED YOUR RESOURCES TO THE TUNE OF THOUSANDS OF TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

BEFORE CHRISTIAN INVASION THERE WAS NO POVERTY OR CRIME IN OUR LAND.

PEOPLE DID NOT EVEN BUILD GATES AND FENCES. EVEN FRONT DOORS WERE OPEN ARCS.

THEFT WAS UNKNOWN. THIS IS STRAIGHT FROM PORTUGUESE AND DUTCH ACCOUNTS IN BENIN FROM THE 16TH CENTURY.

CHRISTIANITY CAME WITH THE EVIL CONCEPT OF "FORGIVENESS OF SINS", CLAIMING ALL IS FORGIVEN ONCE YOU "ACCEPT JESUS".

A LICENCE TO COMMIT ATROCITIES FROM LOOTING TO SCAMMING TO KIDNAPPING.

OUR TRADITIONAL RELIGION ENSURED ACCOUNTABILITY.

IF YOU LOOT OR MURDER OR KIDNAP, YOU WILL COLLECT WOTOWOTO.

THAT IS WAY OF OUR ANCESTORS.

CHRISTIANITY IMPRISONED THE WORLD AND CURSED AFRICANS TO REGARD SOME FAKE NON EXISTENCE WHITE MAN AS THEIR "LORD AND SAVIOUR", A COLONIAL MANIPULATION THAT GAVE YOU RACIAL INFERIORITY COMPLEX.

THAT'S THE MOST DAMAGING ASPECT OF IT ALL.

DESPICABLE.

You can tell your representatives in the government to include those clauses....I am commending the one they're doing now(it hasn't been passed into law tho and hardly would) and I am not in any position to add those ones you're talking about.
It will not sail. You were defending it, that's why we had a discussion.

Are these the reforms that will put quality food on the table of an average Nigerian?

Will it improve the educational system of Nigeria to a world standard?

Will it secure Nigerians from the hands of terrorists, kidnappers and bandits?

Will it improve the health status of Nigerians and equip our hospitals?

If not, then our law makers don't know their right from their left. They absolutely lack wisdom.

The greatest logical person,is the person that recognize and acknowledge his depravities and come to the Lord Jesus Christ for total deliverance and freedom.
Do you know what logic is? Oh my jingles!
Imagine a theist talking about logic? grin grin grin grin
So its logical to believe the whole world came from 2 people? Its logical to believe in talking animals and bushes,mass resurrections, and all those fairy tales in your bible?

Atheists believe in an eternal impersonal force that caused the big bang yet they call it nothing.. breaking news dude... It's a personal force and His name is Yahweh... I AM WHO I AM
Which atheist told you that?
Why do you christians pull out all kinds of lies just to discredit atheists? Can you tell me why?

This bill is an attack on the Christian faith and it’s totally unacceptable and should be discontinued for the sake of freedom of speech and religious freedom in Nigeria.

Be deceiving yourselves.
Some atheists say "May The Force be with you".. That's God, dude!
Lol 😆
Are you aware where that quote came from? Its from Star Wars. And why do you think this force is your god and not Thor or the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
Christians Crack me up with ignorance 🤣
So because a minority of atheists believe in a force,then that automatically translates to your god? What makes you think its not other gods?
You guys make my day lol 😆

You will stand before Jesus on the day of judgement. I pray you realise this early. The Jesus that people are denying they will not do that forever.

I can't stand before an imaginary creation that was sold to past Africans by colonial slave masters....and one can't deny what was never proven....to claim that anyone deny something, it must first be proven....try again.grin grin grin

These are nothing but flimsy excuses for why it wouldn't stand and not for it being right/wrong....so present the reason why you think it isn't right while putting into consideration a situation where by the roles were changed and you're at the receiving end.

i have given you reasons, maybe it is time for you to give cogent reasons. What do you mean by receiving end, we are all at the receiving end everytime. Do you think i love to hear conductors screaming, or cars honking, or music blaring from loudspeakers or people shouting in the market, traffic and on the walkway? Do you think i want the noise of public school children or schools, jingles or mosques, churches, machines, generators or whatever form of loud thing? No, but it is a way of life and i do not advocate for criminalizing any of it. So if you want to criminalize preaching because you believe it is noise, let's reasonably filter out and criminalize all noise on same and higher decibel. And let us know how it connects to road safety.

Please preaching in the bus doesn't disturbed you even if at all it disturbed you take it like emergency alarm when there is fire outbreak or imminent danger.Please don't let us support this evil law. Which one is better, compared to some religious people using gun to force people to accept their religion.

This is a blantant falsehood from the pit of hell. Christ and Christianity has brought light, peace and freedom to the world, Africa inclusive. A world without Christ today would have been a world full of darkness,bondage intimidation and servitude.

You are crazily deluded, all white men are not Christians, the Christians came to repair the wrongs done by the colonizers, and they did very well. It was Christians that fought for the end of slavery in the west. All they did was bring the message of salvation Peace and love. It doesn't matter how you try to paint it, millions got better living by their sacrifice and good works which no other religion have been able to measure up with. They even clashed on several occasions with the colonizers on account of the various tribes they encountered, many still attest of their good deeds by related testimonies from their forebears. You might not like Christians but put sentiments aside and acknowledge good for once.

Public disturbance, distractions and disrespectful to the country's secular status in a public space on the path of the preacher.... knowing fully well how sensitive religion can be, a small misunderstanding can lead to bigger problems like a heated argument, religious crisis, physical attack etc....all it takes is to not be sentimental to see all these things.
