Nonsense remains so even if spoken by a distinguished scholar. Does the acclaimed intellectual have any empirical data to back his claim, can he show us any verified research that support his claimshuh

The Prof is a fool
He was actually refering to primates like you, why don't you grab a clue from your own post.

Does the Primate have any empirical data to back their dumb claims that god and religion are what they think?

can THEY show any verified research that support their religious claims?

I keep saying the same thing religion is one problem that is affecting our country ... The rate at which pastors are exploiting its members one day in the nearest future nigeria will turn to europe where they dont believe in God, what's happening today in nigeria once happened in europe where the clergies were the richest and most influential, but today what happened, their love for riches made the people become wise, if our religious leaders dont caution their love for money one day africa will become europe and God will hold all our clergymen responsible

Let us be realistic with ourselves,no religious brought bad things for we humans.I mean,no religion encourages bad and evil things. But we humans,turn everything upside down by attaching all sort of evils to religious.I want to let us know that,it was through religion we come across God not any one of the scientists.which we all know certainly that Our God exists.religion preaches all the following things to us no exploitation:
Existency of God
Angels
Heaven
Hell
Evil people
Good people
Love
Tolerance
Fighting for freedom
Giving alms
Righteousness
Endurane
Patients
Please my fellow brothers,we all know that God exist,either Christians or Muslims,we should not allow any philosophers who does not believes that God exists to lead us astray and make us to be abusing God,what we just need is to be very careful of all the doctring and preaching that we would be hearing from our religious leaders.
Let us tolerate each other,let us be one,let us say no to tribalism,religionlism,let us face the problem together like a bunch of broom.

So true,many people are blinded by religion.

Imagine a pastor said I should give a month salary to God,without removing a dime.

I asked myself,how will I survive for one month without money.

I stopped the church.

Will the pastor feed me for one month?
Chai! The pastor get heart o. One month without taking anything? He's surely a thief.

I agree with the professor. I know most people won't agree with him, but it's important to ask questions. Most religious people walk on our psyche.

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.
None but ourselves can free our own mind.

Nigerians will rather pray than protest an unfavourable government policy while the Whites that brought us religion will take to their streets in thousands whenever they sense any injustice from their government.

Africans have this terrible habit of going overdrive on whatever they copy from outsiders

Religion and critical thinking are mutually exclusive.

Sharap

How did God and his angels communicate with the people of the God - Adam , Abraham , Jacob , Noah , Ezekiel , Samuel - since you can't hear from a spirit .

Jacob even wrestled with an angel . You should have to discard ludicrous misconceptions which were inculcated in you by the Catholic Church.
Your "sharap" is uncalled for. The Catholic Church is the only church Jesus Christ left behind. What you have just written is strictly the OT. Mind you, what you called the bible is an historical account of the origin of the Jews. The bible was written in Aramaic and for you to really understand the bible you must be knowledgeable in that language. Also, it is instructive for you to note that the bible was written by men like us, capable of making mistakes. That said, I don't doubt it as a vade mecum of the Christian religion. And for my argument that God is a spirit, see John 4:24- "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

Is this professor more rational than his academic superiors who are also religious? His blanket statement is not only bogus but undoubtedly mischievous. Religion is about the most rational invention of humanity. Abuse of religion is clearly a different kettle of fish

That's the whole truth.

Religious leaders, especially the so-called MOGs, are the main problem of Nigeria. Nigeria failed the moment our religious leaders embraced corruption on all fronts. They are spiritually, morally, socially and 'actionally' corrupt. Quote me, they are all bad and useless!

When a country is going to the dogs, religious leaders usually rise up and steer it back on righteous path. People who changed America, UK started the positive change from the church. Human rights activists and change agents in America were pastors/church leaders. An example is Martin L. King.

In Nigeria, they hobnob, fraternize and get thick with politicians and take them to the altar to donate stolen money. No admonition, authoritative counsel nor scriptural references to remind these politicians about doing good. No perceptible vantage point or perspective about altruism. Just donate and you are blessed.

I went for a condolence visit on Sat, this lady lost her baby. She was having prolonged labour and her pastor said she shouldn't be operated on, that she would deliver like the Hebrew women (this very Hebrew women, did he see how they all delivered?) They all came to the hospital and started praying_ the husband refused to give consent, she sef wanted to push.

Well, she finally pushed. She pushed a stillborn cry

Mehn, I hate religious extremists.

I think Africans/Nigerians generally are too lazy to think because logical thinking is hard work so they use religious sentiments as an excuse.
The Scriptures say that God has given the earth to the sons of men to dominate.
But we prefer to push all our responsibilities to God rather than engage our god-given resources (such as our brains) to think out solutions to problems.
All too often we call on God to come and do what he has already given us the power to do.
For instance, how is God going to come down and help us build roads?
Don't we have the money and resources to do that already? If we have not been able to construct roads despite all the available resources, it is because our house is not in order. We should simply get our acts together and do the correct thing rather than disturbing the peace of the Almighty with prayers.
At a particular time, when Moses was in doubt of his abilities, God asked him, "what do you have in your hand?"
The same way he is asking Nigerians "why do you always cry to me concerning the state of your country? What happened to all the resources I have blessed you with?"
Let us learn to use our God given resources properly first and if after using those resources properly we are still in need of help, then God will come in.
That's all. God doesn't and will never do for man for man can do for himself.

Why didn't Jesus roll away the stone over Lazarus grave? Man is responsible for his life. Period.
