The first time I read a piece from this individual, I became tempted to check him out, and I was not surprised at what I found out at all (He is a joke alright). With a shallow write-up such as this one, it is confirmed that this Rudolf fella is a complete idiot, and an ignorant one at that.
I began reading this very article, following up his argument which seem to be charting a course towards condemning the popular attitude which people hold, that "my religion is better than yours". Childishly and naively, he went through some unnecessary blabbers and rants, citing funny examples to buttress (?) his points, only to end the article regurgitating and swallowing back the very vomit he was trying hard to throw out! What is my justification?
Rudolf begins his real criticism of RELIGION on paragraph 3, where he opens..."To understand how helpless we are in the face of this force...". Then on paragraph 8, his childishness graduates into bare-ass stupidity, where he attempts to liken RELIGION TO UNDERDEVELOPMENT; "The tragedy of Africa is that it reached the information age without first passing through the industrial age...". (In other words, those who passed through the industrial age before the information age, like those in the so-called "developed" nations are not religious or what?)
Then in his closing remarks, he completely contradicts the very issue which he set out to renounce in the first place; that is, he says "my religion is better than your religion" (Proof? "But I am rooting for science not religion"!).
I do not expect any serious minded individual to make any attempts to dissuade him from his belief, correct, preach to, enlighten or even explain to this ignorant individual about how truly wrong he is about everything he wrote. This is because his ignorance is deep-rooted, he is inflicted with a deadly disease, of his own illusions. However, it may do Rudolf some good if he is told how unenlightened he is about simple facts, which he seems to enjoy twisting, in an attempt to advertise his ignorance. It is for this reason I respond to him, to make him aware that we know about this disease of IGNORANCE.
A simple cross-check of some personal hypothesis he has tried to advance as a fact in here should suffice, even using the metrics he worships so dearly (science);
Hear him in the opening; "The best estimate says that modern man showed up some 200,000 years ago". Someone please tell him that the oldest skeleton of the human ancestor (named ARDI by anthropologists or scientists, if he pleases) was dated to have lived 4.4 million years ago. More interestingly, ARDI was found in AFRICA! So, who's estimates were you referring to, Rudolf, yours?
Lastly, Rudolf possess neither the knowledge nor the experience, to write about matters which are so sensitive like the one he just ventured into. Perhaps it would pay him to remain focused on insulting President Jonathan and his PDP thieving crew, which seem to make interesting reading among Nigerians these days (one of the fundamental reasons which has many Nigerians trooping to saharareporters). Rudolf should be advised not to think he can use the protection offered by this social media to insult the beliefs and mentality of over three quarters of the inhabitants of this planet, just for his own personal fun (No one else is laughing). Yes, he has the free will to air his opinions, but should be very mindful of the fact that when he is doing so amid lies, deceit and ignorance, it is completely unacceptable and very unfair. No one begrudges him the choice of SCIENCE over RELIGION (whatever he means by that), but please someone tell him do so with decorum and bearing in mind that he could be hurting and insulting a whole bunch of individuals, probably including his own very parents and siblings. I doubt that the ethics of SCIENCE permit THIS, or do they?
