Logicboy03: Yes or no?

Reasons?


For me, my answer is no. Christisnity has caused much damage than good. Same with the religion of peace.

Pastor Olu T:

My answer is yes, Christianity brought civilization.

#RespectMoney$:

Definitely YES
Christianity as I religion has brought civilization to Nigeria like my friend rightly say

Christianity has given Nigerians a million things to live for,

and the assurance of a final destination.

Morning D Knight,

Yes! Christianity (I can speak only for it) has been a positive force. It teaches one to shun what is wrong and uphold what is right.

Logicboy03:


lol....the most christian countries are the most corrupt including nigeria.


Give better reasons bro

Calculus12:

how is this not silly? christianity asked people to be corrupt? the same people won't be corrupt without christianity?

people just dey think with ther anus.

italo: I will only speak for my religion which is Catholicism. It has largely been a positive force in Nigeria as it has always championed the cause of educating the nation by offering quality education at affordable charges. It has many hospitals and charitable homes/organisations attending to the sick and needy at little or NO cost at all. It has also been a consistent and relentless advocate for peace even in the face of unspeakable and barbaric provocation and persecution e.g Boko haram bombings.

The central message of Catholicism is love. Love for God that translates to love of neighbour, including you.

I don't see how one can consider that as negative.

Logicboy03:


What was the original message of catholicism? Non-catholics = fake christians = hell.
Hell is not a message of love.

Logicboy03:

Catholic church was involved in slavery. Remind how christianity came again to Nigeria?

Logicboy03:


Catholic church has deep connections with government, hence them being corrupt in every country they are in. Take the catholic church in Delta getting millions in offerings from the govt. FOR WHAT?

Logicboy03:

Catholic church watched and supported slavery in Nigeria/W-Africa for 300 yrs before bringing their education. The first catholic school came in the 19th century to Nigeria....whereas the catholic church had a presence since 16th century

Logicboy03:


Futhermore, for every free thing the catholic church gives, it gets back in sixfold. They dont help for helping sake. The help to get converts. They had tax-free status and they even get donations apart from offerings.

Logicboy03:


lets not even talk about the suffering and abuse of many children in catholic run charity homes and schools

italo:

What exactly is their crime here?

italo:

This is what YOU SAY the Church teaches. It is a lie, as usual.
============================================

[quote author=italo]
The Church could not have done anything to stop slavery just like it cannot do anything to stop the wars of today, despite its constant calls for peace. Tomorrow, you say "Catholics were involved in the wars" because they sent missionaries to war-torn countries. Common!

italo:

italo:
Atheists have been living in Nigeria before Catholicism came. What schools, hospitals, orphanages etc have they established?

italo:
Random speculation, to put it politely.

italo:
Talk about the opportunity that Catholicism has given many motherless children, impoverished families etc. At least we have evidence of that. The "abuses" you don't have evidence of (correct me if I am wrong).

Logicboy03: Everyone, please look at the two quotes below and realise the main problem with religion;

Logicboy03:

Lol....the catholic church did not just watch slavery; it preached it. It was in its canon b Pope Gregory IX in the 13th century. Even the previous pope has made apologies for slave trade http://www.crosswalk.com/789834/

Worse, it was not until the 19th century that the catholic church had a clear and official no nonsense stance against slavery. Shameful.

Logicboy03:
Smh.....heard of separation of church and state? Heard of fraud?

Logicboy03:
Actually, pagans. They had their local farming and herbs to treat people. Guess what? Catholicism was not the sole reason for schools and hospitals in Nigeria, please.Also read about Tai Solarin

If there were any atheists they would be too few to eefect such societal change.

Logicboy03:
Would like to see catholic missionaries help without preaching the bible and help without beating their chests about their good faith like secular charities do.

Even Jesus preached that charity had nothing to do with religion. The good samaritan. So when you people claim that catholicism or christianity is a good reason for charity, you are creating an ironical situation

Logicboy03:
We have evidence for abuse. http://www.vaticancrimes.us/2012/12/montreal-over-30-catholic-priests.html

There are secular charities without abuse and without the religious nonsense of converting and brainwashing.

Logicboy03:

This is very funny LB,

What exactly are you on about? That Nigeria's problems are caused by religion or not? If this is what you are talking about then let's have a list of some of the ish Nigeria has...

1) Corruption in all it's ramification
2) High rate of unemployment
3) High mortality rate
4) Unequal distribution of the wealth of the Nation i.e High rate of poverty.

The above are some of the ish with our darling country Nigeria...now can you kindly point out where exactly has Christianity encouraged it's adherents to be the 'protagonist' of the above ills?

italo:

Lies and half truths. The Pope apologised for Christians that were involved in slave trade; who has apologized for the Atheists that were involved? Abi the Atheists are too few to apologize too? The Church never started, instigated or supported slavery.




What is the crime, brother?




Are they still too few to effect such change? How many Atheist charity homes are there? I don't know of even one. Do you?




Sorry, but Catholics don't exist to do what you would like to see. We exist to do what God would like to see.



I see you have deviated from talking about religion IN NIGERIA.

Logicboy03:
1) are tithe frauds and using govt money for offerins in killions not corruption?

Logicboy03:
2) good, the church employs people. Anti-abortion stance and anti-condoms = overpopulation that causes unemployment

3) anti-abortion stance and preaching against condoms = botched black market abortions, overpopulation, overcrowding...poor standards of living death n mortality

Logicboy03:
4) christianity causes acceptance of suffering in this life for pleasure in the next for many people: a glorification of unequal distribution of power and wealth.

Logicboy03: Yes or no?

Reasons?


For me, my answer is no. Christisnity has caused much damage than good. Same with the religion of peace.

Logicboy03:




Keep on the strong denial. Anyone denying the abuse and corruption in the catholic church must be a strong liar. You and ubenedictus will make good lawyers, you guys never get angry or shaken by criticisms of the catholic church......that is not the power of faith but faith powered dishonesty.


Google for secular charities an cure your ignorance

Chukskalidon: What's govt and what's religion. Is xtianity d only religion in d country. @op can u just be logical in a single of urs? I cnt see any point aginst catholicism...when u gat something worth commenting let me know.
U can aswell try Islamity as u dnt agree with d govt being secular. We knw d prob of d country. Even a multi-trillion hard metal bullets cannot make a single hole in shield and mysterity of Catholicism.

italo:

You are against abuse and corruption but you are in support of mothers and doctors conniving to kill innocent unborn human babies.

HYPOCRISY!
