TOO MUCH RELIGION, SO MUCH CONFUSION

Quote about religion

One may need to ask, One God but why so many religions? Apart from Christianity, many religions have been born or founded. The teachings of some of these religions are confusing, deceiving, and violent.

,

The effect of some of these 'Mushroom religions" is the catastrophe, chaos, suicide, destruction, and violence we are witnessing in the world today.

Countless religions have caused so much confusion in the world that many worshippers have chosen the worship of animals and idols.

These people believed in the superhuman qualities of animals and honored animals for having a spiritual life. One can be a vegetarian, but that doesn't mean you need to worship a cow, goat, or any edible animal.

Romans 1:23,  "And instead of worshipping the glorious ever-living God, they worshipped idols made to look like mere people, birds, animals, and reptiles".

In this case, animal worship is classified as idolatry. The most well-known continent that is related to animal worship in Asia is. India is perhaps the center of all idol worship. Elephant, Tiger, Snake, and even the mouse are worshipped.

Part of the ten commandments says "Thou shalt not have any other gods before Me, and Thou shalt not make unto yourself any idol, bow down to it or worship it.

But many today follow their own evil desires. The fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom. I will recommend the Holy Bible to anyone who wants peace, happiness, and a better life to read.

INTERNET FRAUD TAKES A NEW PHASE

Internet frauds move online search for the weak-minded.



Beware of emails from people one may not be well acquainted with, from countries like Nigeria and Britain, as an intensive investigation has shown that about 60 percent of fake emails with the intention to defraud people mainly come from Nigeria, whilst about 40 percent comes from Great Britain.


Some years ago, it was a false lotto winning notification, followed fake e-mail lottery winning notification too. After many fell victim to the aforementioned crimes, the police stepped in, and in Spain alone, after a year of investigation in 2005, the Spanish police broke up a Nigerian internet fraud gang, which had conned more than 20,000 people over the internet.

The criminals always find new ways to defraud people whenever the old plans no longer work. Yahoo mail account requests, DHL parcel number tracking, and false claims of inheritance by looking for partners in Europe and America to transfer huge amounts of money into their foreign accounts, with an agreed percentage to be given, were all used by these criminals.

Today, a new plan has surfaced, and it is working. The new development is, some criminals in Third World Countries, especially Nigeria, are impersonating British or American citizens. They explore the internet, soliciting friendship or a serious relationship in Europe. 

To avoid any doubt or suspicion, they scan American or British passports showing their face to convince the person they are corresponding with in Europe that they are genuine American or British citizens.  

Without any second thought, some people easily become interested. Investigations have revealed that the scanned passports are genuine, but the names in them are fake, and the pictures are not of the real owners of the passports. The amazing discovery of computers and technology has made the work on passports very easy.

NIGERIA

If the one in Europe is a man, the scanned copy of the passports comes with a photo of an extremely beautiful woman; one may find it hard to resist. As such a beautiful  American or British lady, whatever she requests so that she may travel down to Europe to you is quickly released.  

When challenged as not genuine British or American, they quickly provide a telephone number to call. Try it and see, and behold, you hear the accent of an American or British woman talking to you from Nigeria. Because the criminals have collaborated with women who are living or have previously lived in America or Britain. 

This is what people should be aware of now, as many people are now responding before they realize that they have been conned.

BRITAIN

A few false lotto winning notifications come from Britain. British criminals are very interested in writing false letters of employment. People mustn't respond to unfamiliar letters of employment indicating large sums of salary, benefits, and bonuses. 

When interested, they request some personal information, including a bank account. Once this information is given, you may later see a big 'hole' in your account.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Another internet fraud that people should be aware of is Poetry and Writing sites. Initially, you may think they want to make you rich and famous when they select your poem. But that's not true. They would rather use you to make money. From the horse's own mouth, I paid for the publication of a poem in a book. 

After receiving a copy of the book, they sent me a picture of a trophy that they claimed I had won. Then they requested an amount of 169 dollars from me to send the trophy to me. I didn't do it. Even a moron could easily know that the directors behind such  "Poetry.com" are criminals.

INTERNET ADVERTISING GIANTS

Internet frauds are not only experienced by criminals in Third World and advanced countries; some internet advertising giants are also involved. About two years ago, I received a letter from one of them to pay me 70 dollars, which is the money I made after people visited my blog. 

I was told to give them my account number to pay a little money to see if the account is really mine. I did that, and 52 cents were deposited in the account. I confirmed the amount, but never heard from them again. After 6 months, they wrote to me thanking me for my patience and would soon receive the money. It's been two years now nothing has been heard from them.

The purpose of this article is to let people know how easily they could fall prey to fraudsters, for them to stay awake and be conscious not to fall victim to these merciless and wicked criminals.   

MARRIAGE TODAY, SEPARATION OR DIVORCE TOMORROW

Divorce is now very common in today's society.



Hundreds of couples, particularly on Sundays at wedding ceremonies, make vows and promises to each other. After the wedding or even a traditional marriage, it starts a big celebration together with family and friends, with a couple full of hopes and dreams. 


As a matter of fact, marriage is a journey not only full of happiness but also pain, tragedies, misery, sadness, and uncertainty. What are the causes of marriage failure?

Even though there are articles, seminars on how couples to spend a happy time together, and thousands of books on the road to a happy marriage, there is always a failure in many marriages. 

There are many reasons leading to many breakups of marriages, but most reasons are not spending enough time together, cheating, and allowing bitterness and resentment to build in couples' hearts.

The results of some bitter separations and divorces could be disastrous. Some breakups of marriages had led partners to mental institutions, and others, after a long time, still find it difficult to come to terms with what had happened to them. 

If children are involved, some are badly affected depending on how old they are.

Unfortunately, many couples do not recognize the Holy Bible as one of the best books that could guide marriage to happiness. Gen 49:4, Mal 2:14, Matt 23:30, Deut 24:5, Mark 12:23, etc, all speak about marriages.

Wealth doesn't guarantee a happy marriage. The same thing also applies to the poor. It is commitment, trust, and love that could build a happy marriage. 

That is the reason the greatest commandment of all the commandments is "Love thy neighbor as thyself".
