What Is Religion Turning Us Into by Wilgrea7(m): 11:40pm On Oct 07, 2016 |
Religion has really changed the world... it has changed many of us.. I've come to understand something.. a Christian can give u proof he is right a muslim can give u proof he is right a jew can give u proof he is right then who is really right? which religion is really true for the Christians... what if u die and find out the Muslims were correct for the Muslims.. what if u die and find out the Christians were correct.. what z the base of ur truth rather than a book which tells u it is true? has religion really blinded us people now claim holier than thou yet they can't help their fellow man in need they will rush to pay tithes but will never donate a dine to that legless man on the road. religious wars still continue till tomorrow sometimes i wonder... is religion really helping us i know one idiot will like to say Christianity isn't a religion.... pls slap anyone u catch saying that but seriously .. where are we headed?? 6 Likes 2 Shares |

truth is ... all we have today are religious dogmas. they all believe they are right and the worst part is they never want to hear the other side of the story... below is their mentality I am right I am right because i know i am right not because of evidence or proof.. i just know i am right you are wrong as long as u don't believe in what i believe in i cannot be wrong i cannot listen to you because you are wrong but you must listen to me because i am right no matter the evidence u provide i will always be right and u will always be wrong until u believe what i believe the above is the life of a dogma 6 Likes 4 Shares |

Religion is another word for division and the root of our problem. 3 Likes |
Re: What Is Religion Turning Us Into by Bimffo(m): 3:12am On Oct 08, 2016 |
Religion is a cankerworm in the Nigerian society. It has divided us, and make us hate each other, just because we just want to know something that doesn't exist. If we can face religion as a problem, we will tackle every problem in our society. And anyone that says Hinduism or Buddhism (or any of this other way of life) is not a religion should check the meaning of reliogion on wiki or google.. Religion is a prison Yard. We must be free from it. |

Religion originated in fear and curiosity. Religion implies d renouncement of human reason and justice. It is d most decisive negation of human liberty and necessarily ends in d enslavement of mankind both in theory and practice. 1 Like |

Wilgrea7: Religion surely has its negative side and atheism has its negative side so you cannot just put the whole blame on religion. Yes atheists dont pay tithe and offerings but are you now saying that all of them are helping the poor man on the street? And are you saying that no christian helps the poor? You people like to see atheism as one big perfect achievement. It is not pls. Atheism is just unbelief in god, nothing fantastic about it, stop deceiving yourself. How many atheists help the poor since they are not paying tithe and offering? A good number of christians do pay their tithe and offering and still help the poor.Do you know how many people i ve paid their school fees? Do you know how many people i ve helped to get a job. Do you know how many people i ve helped in business? Do you know how many people that i ve put food on their table? Yet i pay my tithe and offering. I have fellow christian friends that are doing far more than i am doing. There are also many more christians that i dont know who do much more than me so what are you talking about biko? A good number of churches run welfare program that visit prisons, hospitals, motherless babies homes and give gifts to them on weekly or monthly basis. You people should stop your one sided accusation of religion. I believe some muslims too are helping the poor. Diversity is part of humanity. We cant all be doing same thing or thinking the same way. Because we have brain that is given to us to think you will continue to see diversity everywhere. Atheists dont think the same way either so whats the noise about? 2 Likes |

Wilgrea7: If you acknowledge the fact that they have proof then why can't you understand their stance. I follow scriptures and I will admit that we pale in comparison to people of those times, their love, faith and attitude in God is exceedingly lacking. But you can't pitch the problems of the world at Christianity's doorstep, Jesus lead a peaceful,kind,loving and blameless life and asked all to do same, the kind of lives we lead are really independent of this, but can be guided by this. People just finding ways to exploit the Bible to achieve their aims, with or without the Bible this won't change. You probably do too but not within this confines, so why can't you see its in the heart of man to continual do bad. Want something to blame? Blame yourself. |

EyeHateGod:But you just said religion feeds on laziness! Anyone who reads that would think everyone who has a faith is a lazy person. Corollary? Learn to post without these sweeping generalisations. If that was your problem, say it as it is. Besides, I am yet to find a religion that exhorts faithfuls to, "stay at home hoping" and not work.. If you have ANY such place in the Bible, kindly quote it. 2 Likes |

THE BIBLE IS THE BOOK OF PROPHECY! It has vividly spoken of the Past, Present and the Future. There is no single thing that has happened or is yet to happen that the Bible hasn't spoken of, in clear terms. What the problem is, actually, is that the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, keeping them from SEEING THE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL OF THE GLORY OF CHRIST -2Corinth.4:4. . It takes a high level of folly, not to trust and follow the ONLY Book that has given us the perfect picture of LIFE. |

[quote author=EyeHateGod post=50018750][/quote] I thought you will answer the question that guy asked you. Why are you dodging it? Can you now see that atheism doesn't make you an achiever? It only remains unbelief in God and nothing more. Stop deceiving yourself. |

EndTime Confusion is in. "Worshisp God", that's Religion. In Arabic, Worship God is "Islam". In Hebrew, it is "YHWH" and in Greek, it's "Yahweh". It's Latin translation is "Jehovah". Having got some various languages for Worship God, let us all approach God's Temple of Grace and Majesty with Pumps and Pagentry and with Knowledge that He makes us and His Words in our Tongues. In the U.S., Canterbury, Papacy, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria etc, never give Satan a Chance to stop you from Worshipping God in your own Tongue. In this wise, you know where you are all the time. |
Re: What Is Religion Turning Us Into by Nobody: 11:34am On Oct 08, 2016 |
The plan of d devil is to set confusion in d hearts of men... And he is seriously doing well with it. Christianity is true but many people will fail to believe becasue d devil has created millions of religions to set up a field of religious confusion and unfortunately its working fine |

honourhim: firstly... I'm not an atheist.. I'm a Christian with a question secondly i never justified atheists. most atheists i know actually spend most of their time attacking religion instead of helping humanity. I'm not justifying atheism on the case of Christians helping the poor... not all Christians actually help people in need.. although a number of them actually do. even muslims.. some people find it hard to help someone from another religion . i never said all Christians or Muslims are stingy.. I'm just talking about what religion has done in the lives of people |
Re: What Is Religion Turning Us Into by Wilgrea7(m): 11:47am On Oct 08, 2016 |
Eddlad: its the same thing. when the bible is exploited the masses who don't study it get wrong info nd live their life based on it believing they are right... nd I'm not just talking about Christianity.. I'm talking about religion as a whole |

Anger: so all others are false right? because the devil has deceived them but not you.. please give proof of the above assumption. if you really understand that most of other religions are just trying to worship the supreme creator tho through various means u won't say they're false |
Re: What Is Religion Turning Us Into by Nobody: 1:28pm On Oct 08, 2016 |
Wilgrea7:mind u, they do not worship God but d devil as God but most of them being blinded to d truth. There are religious gurus who know d truth but wouldnt tell d followers... |
Re: What Is Religion Turning Us Into by Wilgrea7(m): 1:55pm On Oct 08, 2016 |
Anger: yh. its the same thing.. exactly what you're saying about them is what they're saying about u apart from that i don't think anyone would worship devil knowing its devil. most people being deceived don't know it.. if they did they'll change.. and there's not much of authenticity in the world.. everybody is just saying “i am the truth" when no one can actually stand the test of deep questioning and some will conclude by saying that those r things that cannot be known in this world |

What is religion(which of the religions) turning us(which people) into(into what if I may ask)? Well as a Christian, I haven't been turned into anything but to influence my world with love. My main mission is to love the Lord my God with all my heart and all my soul and also to love my neighbor as myself. |
