Religion / Re: Can Any Nigerian Pastor Reject A 10 Billion Naira Bribe ? by swizzfix(m): 10:57am On Mar 15, 2009
This is funny. Even Jesus Christ would won't hesitate to take that amount of money but most people (pastors or not) will get rid of the word "bribe" and replace it with sentences/words like " charity,donation,God's promise,miracle,thanksgiving etc to justify or rather satisfy their conscience.For this naija? abeg make una wake up !
Religion / Re: Skeptics And Atheists In Nigeria: How Do You Manage? by swizzfix(m): 11:13am On Dec 06, 2007
[b]Religion simply leads to the under-development of society. As in naija's case,it has brought nothing but confusion amongst believers and un-believers alike.The christians believe that Jesus Christ is the only way.Forbid Him and burn for eternity !!!.Some Christians don't believe this , some interprete it to suit their imagination , While some other christians don't even know what to believe.To me,It Sounds ridiculous,  it's more like Bush saying "You're either with us(U.S) or with the terrorists"."Believe or be punished somehow" has been the basis of every religion and now we have people killing people in the name of religion.It is like a virus, passed down from generations due to man's lack of understanding of his immediate environments.Man chose to believe in deities as an easy way out so instead of finding what causes lightening,thunders and earthquakes,they started appeasing unseen gods.Anytime lightening strikes, People hide in fear,kill animals and even to an extent men, to appease gods (Probably the god of Thunder).But thanks to science which is like (antivirus or even  vaccine to religion),we can now explain and even predict most these events.All of a sudden Naija "christians"have become more religious than the missonaries that brought the religion in the first place.Science is all about proof.Thousands of years ago, who would have known that man would build very heavy ojects that moved in the sky even in space.
       This is the age of information and science.There's nothing bad in reasoning than just arrogantly believe in what you can't explain.Science explains most things it claims,though not perfect by any means, it is always open to suggestions and corrections.The age of Religions,Myths and superstitions is nearing its peak hence ushering us into the golden age of Facts and not fiction.[/b]
