The recent wide spread of corona virus has
proven to us all, that when the chips are down,
when the cookies crumble, the world, as we
know it, benefits more from science than we
do from religion.
On a normal day, when the world is sane, when
Wars are a million miles away from us, when
we have no virus, natural disaster or epidemic
Looking around, religion is always in our faces.
From churches to mosques, down to the
shrines, religion is forever before us, claiming
Solve the solution to all our problems and
worries. They collects tithe and donations, and
voke our emotions to believe that we are
giving in return for an amazing miracle that is
about to come our way.

But today, when most parts of the world on
lock-down, when people can't even shake
hands, when we can't even travel or simply go
out to attend that important business meeting
because of a scary virus, religion has also
gone
on a lock-down. Religion, in all of its
righteousness, clairvoyance and claim of
closeness to the maker of the whole universe,
has proven itself powerless in the face of this
global epidemic.

global epidemic.
I've been glued to my TV. I've listened to radio
and browsed through the pages of many
reputable news portals, and I am yet to hear,
see or read about any pastor, imam or native
doctor who has cured a corona virus patient by
praying for them, or doing some kind of
incantation or religious abracadabra.
Why's this? It is because religious leaders; our most-
revered fathers and mothers in the lord have become as
helpless as we all are. And now they also depend on the
same science- with which they hitherto had been fighting
for supremacy- to come up with a solution to this global
problem.

problem.
Let me break it down like I always do. Your men of God
are waiting for scientists to come up with a solution for a
problem that is killing thousands of people all over the
world. We are talking of the same scientists who religion
refer to as carnal men, and unbelievers because they dare
to question some religious beliefs which do not make
sense.
When this pandemic is over, when researchers finally find
a cure and vaccine to this corona virus, I hope people all
over the world, especially in Nigeria and Africa at large,
will reduce their religious extremism, and open their mind
to know that religion isn't as powerful as it is touted to be.
I hope people would stop saying stuff like "no, doctor. I
can't undergo a CS. My pastor said that I will deliver like the
Hebrew women." I hope people with eye defects would
stop throwing their eye glasses away simply because one
pastor at a crusade ground asked them to receive their
healing by faith. I hope people would stop sowing their life
savings as seed to receive divine healing.
Above all things, I hope we start to have an open mind,
and allow secular people to be secular. I hope we all learn
that this world doesn't revolve around religion. That it
revolves around science and technology. That is why
science is forever evolving and creating new inventions
everyday, whereas religion still depends on ancient books
written over many thousands of years ago.
This article may not contain any solution to the problem,
but it is to serve an eye opener to make you realize that
science is your saving grace, and not religion. It is
targeted at making you realize that you should appreciate
doctors more than you do pastors. To make you see that
it
doesn't make sense to pack lots of goodies to church to
do "thanksgiving," after surviving a major surgery, without
showing any form of appreciation to the doctors who
saved your life. The aim is to make you realize that religion
can't really save you when trouble happens. Religion, just
like an opportunist, is waiting by the corner to take the
glory when something good happens. But when evil
happens, when things don't go as planned, the most they
could do is tell you that it is the will of God.
For now, let's stay safe and hope that science would
provide a solution to this epidemic very soon, so that
everyone, including religious leaders, would go back to the
business that pays them.
