bindex: Isn't that what you are doing right now ; The WE(those of us who do not care for religion) And Them ( The religious numknots to you)? Gosh!!! When you start insulting people's beliefs, you show that you are just like those you claim to despise. Anywho, if this is going to turn into one of those many US vs THEM arguments that we see in the religion section where non-religious and religious people alike battle themselves to the end with no end, then no thanks. @Admin, Maybe you ought to move this to religion cause it seems to be going the same way most all those ramblings in there do. |

Kobojunkie: Yeah killing of the infidels is right isn't it? or slavery? Why do christains frwon at slavery today when the bible strongly advocates slavery? I don't see most moslems stonning to death their gay friends all over the place even though that is what the koran teaches them. |

Can we please separate religion from the state? And render religious leaders powerless? Religion is the greatest thing that happened to the world, but use Nigerians have taken and to the extreme levels as usual. |

Kobojunkie: Do the deities in the bible and the koran teach discrimination, segregation, and racism against people of other faiths? YES, so what is it you are saying? I am not talking about religion I am talking about what is in the bible and the koran. |

I dont give a Bleep about who Jesus Christ is what he said or what people said he said, Jesus Christ can be the way from here to the bibleGod's anus that is his bleeping problem all I am saying is that this is what happens when you allow religion to destroy your brian cells. There are no better advocates of racism, descrimination, intolerance and the permanent we vs them divide amongst humans like Allah and Jehovah the God of the old testament are there? If there is one then pls go ahead and tell me. Bindex, you dont give a "Bleep" about Jesus Christ and you've been foaming in the mouth for the last 3-4 months on that name alone? My dear you need serious help. |

So, what happens to making your decisions based on what goes on in your everyday life without involving religion? |
Re: Politics Of Religion by congoshine(m): 3:17pm On Jan 31, 2009 |
bindex: Bindex is clearly a big ,black boy with absolutely no brains ! |
Re: Politics Of Religion by Kobojunkie: 3:37pm On Jan 31, 2009 |
Sam Milla: Do you understand what the word RELIGION means, and why your statement above contradicts that meaning? Religion goes on in our everyday lives as human beings. You cannot separate it from what makes you human. Your understanding of self, your understanding of what goes on around you, is based on one religion or another and so there is really no way you can make decisions apart from your religious belief. For instance, if you believe we are all here as a result of science, you make decisions based on your understanding of how science allows you to function and operate. You are limited by what science limits you. Same with people who believe we popped out of thin air. Our decisions are limited by our beliefs. Why do some of the people who do not claim a god (atheists) feel they are somehow better than those that do(non-atheists)? Don’t we all deal with the same exact issues on a daily basis? There is absolutely no proof that not claiming a god makes your life better, or somehow elevates you to a higher level than those who do. Cut all the US (atheists) vs. THEM (non-atheists) bullcrap out already!!! |

Re: Politics Of Religion by sherrylo: 8:30pm On Jan 31, 2009 |
@poster, you will be judged by God alone and not by anyone else! so if your friend is an Idol worshiper and she or he is good to you then fine. |
Re: Politics Of Religion by ogasnow: 11:15pm On Jan 31, 2009 |
I deduce from the episode that the poster is insecure. See how she cleverly manipulated the situation to cover up her shortcoming and put the blame on her accuser thus making people to argue a needless issue. Hell, Bleep your religion. People would play politics with everything about you-your gender, your height, your ethnicity, your skin colour, your "funny" accent, the way you walk, talk, dress- hell peeps would mess with your P any day, any time. Its pure IGNORANCE. So whoever made such statement is totally ignorant of the message of Christ. For Christ specifically taught that people from outside our social, ethnic, religious etc groupings can be better friends to us than those with which we share such affiliations (cue the good samaritan). As a GOOD xtian, u could have pointed this fact out to the ignorant fellow. Except of course, you are ignorant of same. So, its not about politics of religion. its one ignorant insecure person oppressing a much more ignorant insecure person. I bet you the fact that this person took you to the cleaners and made you feel like scum on an issue you should have a sound knowledge of hurts the most.(As a lawyer, I would feel like shit if another lawyer oppresses me because of my own ignorance.) Religion is what you believe in which is not necessarily always the truth. Since peeps are different, religion differs and therefore divides. The message of Christ however is truth and is meant to give sight to the blind, health to the sick, salvation to the damned as well as KNOWLEDGE to the IGNORANT. Beware of MIDDLE-GROUND LIBERALISM. It is the highest form of ignorance. Stand for something or fall for anything. Stand for something BUT be knowledgeable about what you stand for. |
Re: Politics Of Religion by Nobody: 2:22pm On Feb 01, 2009 |
this is the main problem we have in nigeria. Since the very time i stopped having a religion, i love everyone as myself. |
Re: Politics Of Religion by edeal247: 9:23pm On Feb 01, 2009 |
na true oo |
Re: Politics Of Religion by Nobody: 8:37am On Feb 02, 2009 |
I am bothered by some of the responses here. Clearly, so many people dont know the real meaning of Faith and being in God. We are in deep shit, we will never move forward when we poor voiceless people keep attacking the effects of a problem not the cause of the problem. |
Re: Politics Of Religion by JJYOU: 9:51am On Feb 03, 2009 |
easy believism the christianity without responsibility, conscience and sacrifice is the trouble with most nigerians. |
Re: Politics Of Religion by meexteriox(m): 11:52am On Feb 03, 2009 |
Politics of religion, Religion of politics, Politics of Nigerian Religion, Religion of Nigerian Politics, A deadly virus that has consummated the Nigeria landscape for as long as i can remember. We simply overplay everything in this part of the world. Personally, religion is nothing else but love to God and man. |
Re: Politics Of Religion by Okijajuju1(m): 4:13pm On Feb 03, 2009 |
@ Topic Religion!! No wonder the bible said "My people die for lack of wisdom". I do not blame whoever accused the poster of not being christian enough. Seriously lets be logical. The bible really did say in the book of II Corinthians and I quote 2 Cor 6:14 Knowing this now, you would certainly agree with me that if you are a true born-again, bible-believing christian, then you should have nothing to do with unbelievers which unfortunately includes Muslims, e.t.c. Remember that the same bible, which is like a guide for believing christians also said in the book of Psalms and I quote Ps 1:1-2 So heres my stand on the topic; As a human being, I know for certain that religion brings about nothing but false hope and division. I'm not targeting any religion in particular, I'm just saying. Lets imagine that every religion out there has a verse in their "HOLY BOOK" that expressly forbade us from associating with unbelievers of our faith, then what would the world look like?? I have said it timelessly that the world would be a better place to live in without having to carry the yoke of religion around with us everywhere we go. Now I am not against those who feel that we should not associate with those of other religions, because in all fairness they are right if their faith expressly says so. The day we esponge religion from our lives, that day we will start moving foward both as individuals and as a people |
