This thread is a great idea! I didn't feel the other thread as some people were claiming landlord there. I see myself as a secular person. Maybe not an atheist but not religious either.

As for your question, I think that family planning should be taught as a public service message in Nigeria. We should do more about family planning becausetoo many people in poverty are having 6-10 children that they can't take care of. I am not sure about banning pastors, maybe kingebukasblog can discuss more on that. Isn't that why you asked him?

Patiently awaiting Ebuka's response and I am all for banning anything religious.

They have done enough already.

Logicbwoy:
And so, I launch this thread with the following question for KingEbukasblog-


I was speaking to a European white humanist that lived in Lagos for 2 years. He said that churches and mosques should start promoting family planning with condoms because Nigeria has one of the highest birth rates in the world. Our major cities are getting too congested.


Kingebukasblog, what do you think about a ban on pastors and imams preaching against condoms or family planning due to the looming overpopulation crisis?

Logicbwoy:




lol.....interesting. So how do you manage with the 14 years jail sentence for being gay?

Thanks bro for the invite . Not sure about the ban but I believe that the marriage counselling committee in churches should handle the aspect of family planning not really the pastors . Books regarding family planning should also be recommended for couples who are going into marriage .

The onus should not only be on the religious institution . We should start from the young ones in secondary schools , inculcate in them the need to engage in family planning .

The government could enforce a law like they did in China to control the number of children a married couple should have .

Any of the above three is an ideal solution to Nigeria's overpopulation problems . The third is the most effective

I am simply creating this thread in order to gather the greatest minds of nairaland to discuss things from outside and within a religious perspective with a focus on Nigeria.

This thread can be about anything anyone finds intelligent. I personally love to talk about time travel, religious slavery and spiritual music.

I also want this thread to be a thread where the most difficult questions are posed and intelligent answers given.

joseph1832:
Do you honestly believe Time Travel is possible?

freecocoa:
So because you and I had an argument on why I don't think hömosexuality should be a crime, means I actively encourage people to be gay?

joseph1832:
I'm sure you heard how most northern senators reacted when a motion was moved to curb the number of children a couple is allowed to have? They rose up in defiance and shouted that their religion is being attacked.

When you have people who still think like this, the move to tell a couple how many kids they should have will be dead on arrival.

Logicbwoy:


Anything is possible. However, with the technology we have now, I don't think it is possible.


What intrigues me about time travel is its paradoxes and its possibilities.

For instance, if I go back in time and kill my grandfather, would I cease to exist in the present?

A dangerous possibility with time travel for Kingebukasblog is that one could go back in time and kidnap Jesus as a boy before he could start the christian religion.

Oh yea? So you tell me what you advocate for? Lemme know your stand now.

Please enlighten me.

I used to be a pacifist but the more I look at it, I tend to believe that we need a strong leader that would treat some of these northerners with an iron hand.

The only way one can stop this boko haram and fulani herdsmen is with force. One can not reason with madness. What we should do is install secular muslim governors in the north that will fight tooth and nail against extremism. A "FASHOLA" kind of muslim that knows how to relate to christians and non-muslims

Logicbwoy:



Wait, are you honestly in support of criminalizing gays? What purpose does that serve?

joseph1832:
It is just too complicated bro.


Definitely, you'd cease to exist. Without your grandfather, there can be no you. That's simple logic.

The day man invents a time machine, that's the day man will attain godlike powers, and believe me, nature has its way of dealing with humans who tend to mess with what they shouldn't be messing with.
