The Matrix Reloaded: In God's Name

I believe that "no matter how poor the African continent is, the economy of its churches remains buoyant." In many regards, they are our trophies and a pointer to where we invest. It's quite crazy how a lot of people shy away from having discussions about religion. It becomes more heated when people from different religious backgrounds, or, should I say, opposing religious backgrounds, are involved. Yeah, I chose that term because that's what it appears to be. Could it be a design of the matrix to make us fight for a supreme god we've never seen? The truth is that religion is at the heart of the decisions we make. Even fashion is influenced by religion. Religion serves as both a motivator and a justification for violence. Yes, people kill for their god. For me, it makes no sense, but most people never had the chance to choose their religion. Even adults can suspend logic for religion. Following 911, a new narrative attached terrorism to religion. So when some people think of terror, they think of some religions. My question is this: Is religion the issue, or are we just evil? Is there evil locked in the closet of the human heart? Is religion a source of terror? Even in democracies, people still vote based on religion. The political elites are masters of this game. I mean using religion to create an alliance. I won't lie; I think I have been equally infected. In this regard, competence is not the core of our selection of leaders but rather their religious affiliation. People vote for politicians based on their religious beliefs, even if those politicians have previously crossed the carpet for obvious reasons such as corruption. Maybe religion has made men mad or man has mastered the art of storytelling and has weaponized religion. It seems the only pure thing from the gods has corrupted us. Children, our future, have been used as beggars on the street in the name of religion. In the name of religion, some parents inflict harm on their children. Spare the rod, and spoil the child appears to be a reasonable justification for violence. To me, "pikin wey go get sense go get sense. Notably, we seem to forget that we all have rights and a choice to either subject our kids to violence or let them live as humans. I think it's difficult to experience freedom if your conception of religion is extreme. For example, you think all other religions are fake and yours is real or true. Let's assume that you are right; you don't have to rub it in people's faces. It's extremely uncomfortable to leave an idea you've lived with your entire life. I'm certain that the leaders of the Matrix understand the division that religion can cause, so they deploy it strategically to divide us. Also, how come the most religious corners of the world are poor, or should I say underdeveloped? This could make you think of religion as a business where the masses pay taxes to their religious slave masters. Another SWERVE is how some religious leaders are among the top 1% of society. I thought they were supposed to give their all to the lord and society. Conversely, they're humans with rights, and it's okay if they are wealthy. Religious leaders are arguably some of the most powerful people in society. Their opinions are largely bought by their followers. People take their words as the word of God because they perceive them as holy vessels. Shae you wan de whine me niii! Some of them are, but definitely not all of them. I think it's fair to say that we are stuck with religion. We all have to consciously decide the kind of life we live. In the end, would religion make you free or would it change you? Answer truthfully! Maybe religion is the greatest algorithm. The things we do in God's name! Keep an eye out for Matrix Revolutions...
