peacesamuel94:and you think faith and work is literal? Point is religions encourage absurdities. Let's not deviate from the topic. Religions, especially christianity and islam should be discouraged in africa and let people embrace realistic way of life. It has become our own cocaine. |

ZirdoRoray:I was brought up a monotheist, however an irreligious one, I could as well have been an atheist. As I grew older I've had reasons to take the religion I was raised in seriously, however i can't discuss them here. |

UAE is religious but I can't see how that's stopping them from turning their country into tourist and business attraction...problem in Nigeria is greed..it is in the Christians, Muslims, Traditionalists, Atheists...except a few. |

Earth2Metahuman:well that's your opinion, religion has done more good than harm, and wrong interpretation of religious doctrines by it adherents as well as abuse of religious practices is what has made people develop wrong view about religion. The same could be said of science, the fact that people abuse drugs, does not mean that buying and selling of drugs should be banned, Like Ive said before, religion is not our problem, we should focus more on our problems rather than making unnecessary blames. |

peacesamuel94:what do you do to drugs that have been abused? Please name this good religions have done? |

Earth2Metahuman:You are kidding right? Philanthropy alone sums up everything. Wouldn't want to say much, besides this is not the purpose of the thread. |

Earth2Metahuman: ![]() Meanwhile, they just assasinated their president's brother today. The guy has been trying to make the nation more open to foreign relations....etc. What a coincidence. |

peacesamuel94:you still haven't told us what religion has done for humanity? I'm an atheist and a philanthropist. Bill gate has done more for hungry children in africa than any religious body in the world, the man is not even religious.. Name just one remarkable thing religions especially the abrahamovic ones ever done for humanity. Has christianity cure hiv and aids or malaria? Why do we need religion? If anything else it has done more harm. |

felixomor:and your own president is sick while millions of alfa are praying for him ![]() |

Earth2Metahuman:Its still the same thing. Abuse is abuse. |
| Re: Is Religion Really The Problem of Nigeria? (if Yes Then How) by Earth2Metahuman: 11:09pm On Feb 14, 2017 |
felixomor:yeah. Let's get rid of this nasty drug called religion. Eradicate jesus and mohammed, eradicate kim jong. |
| Re: Is Religion Really The Problem of Nigeria? (if Yes Then How) by peacesamuel94(op): 11:12pm On Feb 14, 2017 |
Earth2Metahuman:Like I said, Philanthropy Is just one aspect, it has done its part in promoting morality and eradicating juvenile delinquency in the society etc. meanwhile you're going off topic. |
| Re: Is Religion Really The Problem of Nigeria? (if Yes Then How) by felixomor: 11:15pm On Feb 14, 2017 |
Earth2Metahuman:Jesus and Mohammed should not be your problem. Face Kim.....at least you can see him face to face. Or are you afraid? |

peacesamuel94:and tell us where the philatronphy is now? You mean distributing bibles in hospitals is helping the sick? Has any religious thing ever solved any real life problem? Yeah off topic a little but we need to see why we don't need religion and it has been the only thing holding africans back mentally. just like a cocaine to addict. Black man has great potential but relegated this potential at the premise of religion given to him by slave masters. |

felixomor:why would kim be my problem? Am I a north korean? Is kim the one with loud speaker at the back of my house now doing night vigil and disturbing the entire neighborhood? |

Earth2Metahuman:So Jesus is behind your house. Thats good. You are covered ![]() |

Earth2Metahuman:Its more than distributing bibles. I deliberately avoided talking about miracles. beacause there's no point doing that since u're an atheist. Religion does not inhibit greatness, or destroy potentials, despite the fact that they were religious, Rockefeller, Isaac newton, Michael Faraday, Gregor Mendel, were great achievers. And their greatness certainly outlived them. So your ideology that suggests that religion kills potentials is highly flawed. |
| Re: Is Religion Really The Problem of Nigeria? (if Yes Then How) by Earth2Metahuman: 11:37pm On Feb 14, 2017 |
peacesamuel94:lmao @miracle those men became great because they go against their religious mumbo jumbo which african man will never do. Ask a black the formation of rainbow, the answer would be god did it. Not that he doesn't have brain to think or make reseaches like those great men, but religious dogma has made him so scared of asking question. |

Earth2Metahuman:Some people abuse ICT today. Should ICT be done away with? Bigotry and spiritual blindness will never allow you see anything good in GOD. Can you fault Biblical Christianity in any way? |
| Re: Is Religion Really The Problem of Nigeria? (if Yes Then How) by DoctorAlien(m): 1:51am On Feb 15, 2017 |
Earth2Metahuman:Yes, GOD put in place the mechanism for the formation of the rainbow. I, as a little boy, and before I was taught in class, noticed that droplets of water between my eyelashes(maybe after a bath or something like that) produced a spectrum of colors ranging from red through blue to violet when I'm in the sun. That is enough to teach me that the mechanism of the formation of rainbow is the dispersion of light by water in the atmosphere, while I glorify GOD who made such a wonder, because it is too foolish to think, as you do, that such a wondrous phenomenon was created by nothing. |

DoctorAlien:what are the advantages of ict? What are the advantages of religion? |
| Re: Is Religion Really The Problem of Nigeria? (if Yes Then How) by Earth2Metahuman: 9:02am On Feb 15, 2017 |
DoctorAlien:yeah.. This is exactly what I was talking about.. Someone went out of their way to show you how rainbows work and taught instead of just holding on to the idea that its a mystery that god doesn't want u to know. Many africans still believed rainbow is just a mysterious covenant by some jewish god or that rains come from heaven and no man can know the depth of the sea cos god has made them mystery and we should not bother to know. Isn't not looking for answers outside religion boko haram all about? |
| Re: Is Religion Really The Problem of Nigeria? (if Yes Then How) by Earth2Metahuman: 9:12am On Feb 15, 2017 |
peacesamuel94:of course some religions encourage seeking knowledge and questioning your beliefs, e.g buddhism and some african religions too. but christianity and islam sold to africans to take away their lands and brains are definitely part of them. |

[quote author=peacesamuel94 post=53716210]Something, I've noticed on this section, is that Atheists Agnostics, and other forms of religious critics, omit Nigeria's major problems like corruption, intolerance among ethnic groups, juvenile delinquency and the likes, instead they capitalize on religion as the cause of the backwardness of this country, And my question is how really is religion our problem? The major problem of Nigerians is greediness they should face that. |

Christian missionaries brought formal education to Nigeria for example, even nowadays we find churches establishing educational institutions everywhere and also, research programs are sponsored in the church owned universities to encourage innovation. Like I said Religion is not against Innovation |
