Is society increasingly indifferent and full of hatred because there is no religion?.

in #wafrica6 years ago (edited)

In this era, as long as someone does something wrong, or does something unpleasant, as long as it is made public, there will be countless netizens fighting and attacking. Everyday, everyone is looking for new enemies to attack together.

I found that I also began to have this tendency. As long as I saw some people’s words and deeds on the Internet and there were problems in speaking, regardless of whether they were black and white, I would naturally hate these people, even if it was a small matter. I didn't seem to be like this before.

I think it is because the pressure in this society is too great, too much, and the result is easy to be full of hatred.

One of the things I have learned in sociology is that ,religion is one of the ways to solve these hatreds.

Religion is true or false, but the common function is to lead people to good, to relieve stress, bring love and peace are some of the other functions.

Therefore, some African scholars have said that the reason why the African people were so special in the previous generation was that in the Cultural Revolution, most African traditional religion were destroyed, and humanity was less pleasing.

Although in my eyes, believers do feel better, but I don't think religion is the solution to social problems.
To say that the influence of the Cultural Revolution has eliminated religion and the absence of a large institution that leads people to be good, is not pleasing to humanity. In fact, it is untenable.

There is no Cultural Revolution in Africa, but I have seen that the younger generation in Africa and the younger generation in Nigeria are actually not very different in terms of human nature. So in the context of the Cultural Revolution, it is also similar.

....but religious people in Africa also have many bad people, greed, swindlers, utilitarians, sex offenders, etc. These are known to the news. Religion in Africa, Nigeria is a major means of defrauding money.

I myself went to a church. The religious people in the church did not actually do any formal work. The preaching was very decadent and not serious. It relied on the believers giving their money a living for a week, and then the church used the money to fry the land. What is more than waste green.

Religious leaders are not necessarily effective. To say the reason, in fact, the influence of modern religion and previous religion is too far.

When the theory that religion can solve social problems appeared in foreign countries, the foreign society of religion at that time was very strong, and even there was a point beyond the government and everyone believed. It is not surprising to have the ability to operate people, but modern religion does not have such strong control.

More and more indifference and full of hatred have nothing to do with religion, because in modern times, there is religion and no religion, society is still similar.
The difference is that the changes in education and the social environment are the reasons.

In Nigeria, prices have risen madly every day, making everyone very poor, resentful and natural, and increasingly indifferent to things other than money. In the era when Nigerians were very rich, these grievances were actually much less.

The other is education, the society is gray. It has not been so white in the world in recent years, but education has taught young people to be divided into black and white. It is not surprising that they are mad. In the previous education, there was no such criticism of the society. I even felt that this was a taboo.
However, the current education teaches young people to think independently and distinguish between black and white, but it is too ungrounded and the result is maddening.
Therefore, to solve the problem of society becoming more and more indifferent and full of hatred, it is still necessary to start from education and social environment.
