I’ve always argued that if you want the wisest man in the room to become the dumbest, don’t bother hallucinating the person, just employ religion—and you would be shocked by the level of achievable stupidity.
Of course religion is barbaric or acts so; and yet the many who engage in the diverse religious practices do not find it so. I have to keep reminding myself I have not time travelled to the 4th century whenever I come across such videos. What in God’s name will allow human beings with brains to take part in such water and powder bath if not the ignorance of religion?
Apart from how disgusting and stupid the act looks, I think it is unhealthy to have another wash his hair, face and all that into your mouth or face—as if you are some cotton head. Maybe, some of these people truly are cotton heads—and most religions people take part in various level of absurdity like this each day.
If the church is not taking your hard earned money, it’s making you act like a big fool—and mostly those doing the acting cannot see it. Even if a bystander spots it and mentions it, he gets slapped with blasphemy. So it keeps going…
Anyway, check out the video below… (It make take a few minutes to load)…

Chris-Vincent A. Febiri What’s with the attack on Religion? If that’s what they believe, then why should it matter to you?
And you stated that “…religion is barbaric or acts so; and yet the many who engage in the diverse religious practices do not find it so.”
And you cannot categorise religion as such.

Religion is a D*ldo used for mind f**king in the Mental Slavery process. lol
Once you convince a fool that life doesn’t matter, his reward is in heaven, He is just waiting to die.. We have lost the battle and the war.
This is just stupid Black people / Africans taking everything to the extreme!!!! I can’t even watch this, pure stupidity at large!!!
What is with the washing of powder on head unto another person? I do not understand so I cannot judge them….
Exactly! If he’s not into it then why judge the others who are.
Chris leave people alone,do whatever you want to do with your soul and leave us alone.
I agree, this is quite disgusting but you cannot use this as a basis for demeaning religion because not all religions are like so. As someone said above “you cannot categorise religion as such”. I have said this before and i will say it again, most of the pivotal scientific advances were made by religious people: Newton was religious, Mendeleev was a monk, etc so you cannot say that just because someone is religious, he/she is stupid. It is absolutely absurd to imply that nonreligious people are smarter than religious people.
‘just employ religion—and you would be shocked by the level
of achievable stupidity’.Having a religious belief = stupidity? Is this in all cases with every man on earth?…that’s a sweeping statement. I guess I am stupid then. I think though this looks and appears preposterous…on watching this video I thought a few things. I thought….Why are they doing this? It is more of a cultural influence? did scriptures tell people to do this? – probably not…..Something looking strange to you doesn’t mean it should be condemned without understanding it. I do wonder if we as Africans had no exposure to western civilization we would find things our people do as strange. Yes it looks odd but instead of condemning religion as a whole based on particular acts in isolation without understanding why…it’s good to ask questions. At least we are educated according to western teachings and I know we are taught reason and logic and to question why. If the writer had researched or said this is why these ppl saying they are doing this I would be more inclined to form and opinion based on your criticisms. BUT YOU DIDN’T. I can’t condemn something or agree with you that its weird because you think its weird. Its subjective. If you want to write on such issues…come correct. This is not about religious ppl behaving in ways that to you appear disgusting. Non religious ppl do a damn sight worse trust me I can name a few but I won’t because I’m sure you know yourself.
Thank you!
Some people blame religion for the mishaps of the world but never look around to see that maybe they are the cause of that mishap.
