Religion / Re: Pastors Please Stay Away From Ebola Afflicted Areas by LordNico(m): 7:00pm On Jul 27, 2014
Yes, visiting to pray for them and even touch them with 'healing hands'. That's how they'll catch it and spread it when they come back
Religion / Pastors Please Stay Away From Ebola Afflicted Areas by LordNico(m): 5:23pm On Jul 27, 2014
I plead with pastors not to visit Ebola afflicted areas. You'll just catch
it and pass it on to the innocent market woman and other innocents
who have faith in you, and then it will spread to the rest of the
country. Please DO NOT make the same mistake religious leaders
made with the bubonic plague in Europe. You saw how that ended?
Please, this is Africa, it would be worse here.

Religion / Re: Where Will Mentally Ill People Go After Death? by LordNico(m): 9:11am On Jul 06, 2014
Hmm... Atheists here?
Religion / Re: My Atheism And Its Effect On My Mum! by LordNico(m): 6:50pm On Jan 06, 2014
As an Atheist, I can relate to the OP. I would have told him to just go
with it as far as he can, till his mom learns to deal with it. I still join my
family to attend their church and it's programs because those times are
the only times except for holidays where everyone can come together. I
may not share the same beliefs as they do, but I won't let that interfere
with my family time. My love for my family is greater than childish
arguments over why I don't believe. A church member once approached
me and I told him I was an Atheist, and he said he'd observed I don't act
like a member even though I was born in the church and both my
parents and their siblings are leaders/elders in the church. With time,
more people knew I'm atheist, and learned to live with it.
Religion / Re: 15 Things You Shouldn't Say To An Atheist by LordNico(m): 4:25pm On Dec 12, 2013
Morality is not connected to religion. We do not need religion to be good. Human morality has a Darwinian explanation: altruistic
genes, selected through the process of evolution, give people natural empathy.

Would you commit murder, rape or robbery if you knew that no
God existed? Only very few people would answer "yes", which undermines the claim that religion is needed to make us behave morally.

If you take a survey of the history of morality, you will find a moral Zeitgeist (the characteristic of an age) that continually evolves in society, generally progressing toward
liberalism. As it progresses, this moral consensus influences how religious leaders interpret their holy writings. In the past, with support from holy writings, it was okay to own slaves, to commit atrocities against prisoners of war, refuse rights to certain people based on race, culture etc, but in modern times, those acts are viewed as morally wrong.

Morality does not
originate from the Bible or any other holy book, rather our moral progress informs what part of the Bible Christians and other religious groups accept and
what they now dismiss.
