Religion ??
I don't no what to say about it again
but I no only the deluded and frustrated beings will take it serious

To me everything about it is just mind controling tool invented by the con men of a given society to gain recognition and commands respect of the people,which has eventually led to the commanding of the people's hard-earned money in the name of representing an invisible God , with no significant benefit of any kind,cos if any I am sure Nigerians would have been the top benefactor

some times I imagine a supposed kan if God who claims have the power to make u wealthy but cannot use same power on himself first to confirm it,s authenticity ,but will rather use a subtle and dubious means to cut a reasonable percentage of ur income and all the peoples who have fallen victim of his scam through varieties of acrobatics means ranging from offerings,tithes,firstfruit,donation,deed sowing,charity offering,evangelism offering
,etc and they are still mimicking on a new plan/way to defraud the innocent but gullible puppet

it is not a coincidence that those things has the intense occurrence here in Africa cos the black race is the most gullible species on planet earth

That is your imagination. Not real.
God is not interested in our money or wealth.
God is interested in our soul.
The Bible said, those that worship me ,must worship me in spirit and truth.
When the old testament was talking about tithes, it was for the Levi's, the orphans and widows who didn't have land to cultivate.
If you read the Bible and understand it , you won't have problems with the society.
We have fake pastors, just as we have fake Doctor, lawyers , fake etc.
If you keep the principles in the Bible, you will have peace, love, joy and success.
Don't allow a mere man called pastor,
To Deny you, your salvation.
There's God and he Love's you.

God led the people of Isreal out of Egypt without any weapon of war.

The Heaven were made by God without any technological pillars holding it.

God's is not a man.

Why did you choose to cherry pick the aspects of the comment?

Question is, hasn't religion been behind some of the greatest crimes against humanity we've witnessed?

Today, technology have given us a weapon powerful enough to end life as we know it by just the flick of a button, I doubt religion have ever being that powerful or threatening throughout history.

Let us be objective, anything can be misused and abused given the wrong application, technology and religion are suitable examples.

I know say people like you must de here to claim otherwise, but its the sad truth,religion has really done bad,the technology you talking about or weapon is mostly abused when there is war,and majority of this war are religious war ,tribal war ,racial war,a lot of war that got to do with belief,if we all got one religion and belief which is not possible, I don't think there will be war or need for weapons, technology will be totally for good purpose,technology has really done a lot, even most religious practices makes use of technology in a lot they do...

The main issue is that religion claims to be the best thing since ejaculation while science admits it's fault and leaves room for development

I'm not disputing this but this isn't really the premise of the post

Modified

The problem lies with the way we think. Religion are practised in many developed countries in the world yet you see technology striving over there whereas ours is the opposite. We rarely value technology in this part of the world. We think foreign technology are superior to ours forgetting that it is the same God that gave us brain to think alike. There is no difference between a black man and a white aside skin color and way of thinking. We shouldn't be moved by what politicians use in deceiving us(religion and tribalism ) as this has being their major weapon to hold us back. We should love ourselves more than religion as it is more important. Religion doesn't put food on the table but hard work. Religion may show the way to go about it but you still make much effort . Religion has being helpful to us, thanks to it many of us are enlighten and exposed. We should grow above religion and think straight as that has being helpful in many developed countries.

Yes. we still have objective people who wouldn't let such thin bias come between their objectivity in judgement.

but its the sad truth,religion has really done bad,the technology you talking about or weapon is mostly abused when there is war,and majority of this war are religious war ,tribal war ,racial war,a lot of war that got to do with belief,

Contrary to your naive idea, the major cause of war in the world is politics.

if we all got one religion and belief which is not possible, I don't think there will be war or need for weapons,

Wrong. Only a fraction of conflicts will be solved. Politically influenced wars (which is the major cause of wars and as you rightly pointed out, tribal, ethnic, racial wars will still remain, so this line is false.

technology will be totally for good purpose,technology has really done a lot, even most religious practices makes use of technology in a lot they do...

No it won't. Technology is not inherently bad, its application determines it effect either to build, help, improve or mar and same goes for religion.

Atheist dictators killed tons of people in the 20th century, largely responsible for it being the bloodiest century ever.

Lol. Adolf Hitler had Catholic connections.

Joseph Stalin was a strong Christian.

Atheism amongst the ruling class in Europe at that time was unheard of.

Do a little historical research. Don't come on here and display ignorance.

Dont rope in religion with a false and unfair premise.

johnydon22 may no longer be an atheist. i am sensing it .

just like corruption, nepotism,rape,stealing, gossip,backbiting, slander, whoredom, the list is endless.

my brother leave all his your plenty talk,its obvious with what's happening around,right now the strongest political tool is religion,take your country as a case study

And u think technology is the reason?
Before technology they was killing, it's even in ur bible. Cain killed Abel.
There's no need blaming technology or defending religion. Everything has to do with humans. We created both technology and religion. Trying to say one has done more harm than good is really stupid.

Religion has been the reason behind the most barbaric crimes against humanity we've witnessed as a race.

crimes like Buhari fulani herdsmen killing your people while you support him because he's fulani and Muslim?

Thank technology combined with *atheist communist regimes* for making the 20th century the bloodiest in human history.

It hard for an atheist to take a life, he knows he does so in his own responsibility. When you transfer that responsibility to another being whos story and values are controlled by a few rich and powerful sect there's no telling what they can make common men do...it's genius

Hitler? compared to Stalin and Mao Zedong that guy was a saint.

Joseph Stalin was a strong Christian.

"stalin a strong Christian" what's next Mao Zedong was the Pope? And I'm the ignorant one here?

Atheism amongst the ruling class in Europe at that time was unheard of.

Yet they murder millions.

Do a little historical research. Don't come on here and display ignorance.

Think you need to be taking your own advice.

Great in the sense that it shapes our moral conscience, harmful in the sense that people politicise it to force agendas and it suppresses independent thought

You didn't disprove me.

So atheism is the only pretext under which one is free to murder millions? Wow.

You sound very ignorant tho'. Highly.

There's never a connection between someone's faith and the political ideology and policies they choose to adopt or implement.

Didn't the Pope endorse the crusades? Or isn't the Pope Catholic again?

If you had a chance to go thru Hitler's Mein Kampf you'd see exactly the reason why he did the things he did. Faith didn't preempt anything.

The postulation that your belief or faith influences your political stance is not only laughable but stupid.

Next you'd tell me it was an atheist President that ordered dropping of nuclear bombs in Japan.


Read more about Europe in the middle ages.

Read books. Don't just come on here to display your ignorance.
