Is Nigeria's conflict religious or political? - Inside Story - Al Jazeera English
The calamity that has befallen Nigeria is nothing new which we have seen throughout the history of mankind. Power and Greed muffles live itself. The power broking between Constantine I and Licinius I to the current conflict between Israel and the Palestinian cause is nothing more than political manipulation of entities who want to remain in control.
God now appears to be caught in the crossfire that mortals have barraged against each other. Poor God even if he appears today in person to defend himself/herself, I don't think the feuding powers would want to listen. Instead the parties concerned would probably tried to broker a deal with him/her to support one against the other.
Thus is the state of humanity crumbling in it's own greed. From a person who rides through a red light to the perpetrators of corrupt practice, they all share a common platform, that they only think of themselves and not about the implications of their actions. Has society degenerated so low that we have forgotten altruism altogether.
Spiritualism has been replaced by marketing campaigns by evangelists. The purported guardians of divinity seems to have betrayed their original purpose. As such it is not surprising to find greater distrust and resentment has taken place towards religion, no fault of GOD but due to his/her so called representative in this mortal world.
Questions thus arise, when all else fails where do you look for an answer or guide? Well I think we should not look too far, LOOK WITHIN oneself. You would see humanity in yourself. Identify and nurture it, the circle would be complete. After all, all religion preaches the same as well.
