Religion is EVIL!

Human race is harmed with religion poisoned by prejudice and absolutely frantic with hatred and fear……Kayode Gomes

Often times we mistake religion for Godliness/Spirituality. We have misplaced the value of religion into an instrument of hate and chaos.

Religion has lots of definition among which it could be a belief and worship of a supernatural controlling power. It is also defined as a system of faith and worship. Another definition says it is a way of life committed to by monks and nuns. It is a practice in which someone or some group is seriously devoted. It is also said to be faithfulness to a given principle. Consequently, religion has become the root of evil to mankind. Since the creation of man , the cause of war is the different ideology about religion which is also intertwined with culture and traditional belief. Fortunately, if we actually want to follow God’s principles, we will discover that all faith/belief is same . But the system/institute called religion has brought misconception which makes people interpret spirituality as religion, thereby making them devoted to evil ideology.

In all the spiritual book and holy books I have read; I’ve been privileged to read both Holy  Quran and Holy Bible, it is simply the same thing and the same God, just a different way/style of worship. But some hypocrites and fanatics will bring down the world in other to make a point or just to have excuses to cause calamity. No part of the holy books promote hatred, war, or any form of evil we experience in the name of religion. I’m worried about how so many will end up in hell in the bid of pursuit to heaven. Among every saint there are millions of sinners. Funny enough, those sinners are mostly the ones that claim to be righteous and know it all. It is sad that we lost innocent souls everyday around the world because of religion, we deceive people, preach hate, promote terrorism, make others feel less or not worthy because of religion. Even brothers and sisters cannot live in peace because they have different ideology on religion.Previous generations and present generation is polluted with hatred and I hope we can make it right for the next generations to come.

I don’t blame people who don’t believe in religion, neither believe God exist because some of us do not want to be part of an institution or system that causes chaos and calamity for generations. However, knowing God and connecting to him is a personal decision.

In my opinion, Godliness and Spirituality has nothing to do with religion. Religion is institutionalized with human made doctrines and agenda of its own. Religion exploits and blackmail, it preaches hate and in-equality. Religion is just a system structured by human and most times for selfish interest. In whatever you belief in, the fact still remains; there is only one God. He created everything including you and whatever you become in life. Miracles happen because we have faith, we are blessed because God already said so. He has given us power to make wealth, he blessed us even before our existence, he says we should live in peace and harmony, he says we shouldn’t judge others.  Don’t be deceived by religion, don’t let anyone deceive you of  fighting for God, there are no virgins in heaven even if you kill millions of people in the name of Islam.  

One of the problem with religion is human, when something is intended to be potentially beautiful, we turn it ugly for selfish interest. As religion seem to be one of the major problem in the world today in every facet of life, I hope we can work towards better generations where we can accept, tolerate, embrace, respect one another and live in harmony.
