DOES GOD EXIST ? - IS RELIGION EVIL OR HOLDING HUMANITY BACK ?

Does God exist ?

The only true answer is...
Agnosticism is of the essence of science, whether ancient or modern. It simply means that a man shall not say he knows or believes that which he has no scientific grounds for professing to know or believe.
But agnostics are the worst of the lot. It's a wishy washy mindset.

I am by philosophical definition Agnostic...but most would say I'm Atheist, depending on the definition of it.
I assign no truth value to the claim that there is a god nor the claim that there isn't a god. I haven't been convinced of either claim, No God-claim has been true either, which "the definition of truth is verifiable"

I don't assign a false value to God's existence but as they say, "Absence of evidence is evidence of absence".
No one can say for certain, and those who assign either a false or truth value to a claim has the burden of proof to justify their beliefs.

Don't be offended if I say "Islam isn't an ideology of peace"
It absolutely isn't,
Neither is Christianity, or any religion, barring perhaps Buddhism.
They are all based on hatred, fear and anybody who does a good thing because they fear the consequences in the after life of not doing it, isn't doing anything good at all.
All religions are the essence of evil.

You can be a good person and a bad Muslim or Christian, meaning you don't follow it a tee, but if you're a good Muslim or Christian, then you're a bad person, that's a fact that can't be avoided.

If you follow those books as a way to live your life, to the tee, then you are holding humanity back.
To be fair, even just following them loosely is to enable evil.

Not that I've given it much thought...

NIGERIAN JUNGLE JUSTICE

N IGERIAN JUNGLE JUSTICE On a very hot afternoon, the sun was almost roasting my skin out of my body. It was 2pm, I was going to my house from the market. I waited patiently for bus to take me home, While I was waiting, I saw a young man between the age of 30-35years, properly dressed in white shirt stocked into his black plain trouser with a brown belt and brown shoe to complete his systematic arrangement, and i guess he was also waiting for bus, A lot of people were at that spot too. Soon enough, a long motorbus arrived and people starting moving into the motorbus, but then I was walking gently to the bus, admiring the color combination of this young man’s dressing also considering how dusty, dirty and scattered the environment was, With hoodlum (agboro) hanging here and there waiting for buses to come so they will load the bus and collect their normal 50naira. Then all of a sudden, a lady shouted, " olé olé, (thief thief) catch him, he steal my money, see him, he...

The territory controlled by the resultant state included much of modern-day northern and central Nigeria; it lasted until the 1903 break-up of the Empire into various European colonies.

FIVE GREATEST LAWS OF POWER

FIVE GREATEST LAWS OF POWER 1. Always make those above you feel comfortably superior . In your desire to please and impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite-inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power. 2. Be wary of friends they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and tyrannical . But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them 3. Keep people off-balance and in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind your actions. If they have no clue what you are up to, they cannot prepare a defense. Guide them far enough down the wrong path, envelop them in enough smoke, and by the ti...
