Slaves to religion




I know i promised not to write about religion again (people have stated looking at me like i'm headed straight to hell) but what happened today,i cant help but say something or in this case write something.
I was going about my daily stroll around my school(walking calms me, it helps me think) as i was coming to the end of my stroll, a guy called me and asked if he could lean on me as we walked together( for those who have ever been in unilag and know the Dli road leading to the medical centre, how dark and deserted that place always is in the night)  i was scared, really scared, i don't have any marshal art skills, i'm a very lazy person and a terrible runner.
But the guy asked for my help, i had sympathy for him because I could related with his pain me being ashmatic. Then i thought to myself we are close to the medical centre he doesn't need my help, i will just take him where people are and where light is( i cant get mugged today).   I  said i will just take him to the medical centre then he said the most disturbing thing  he said he didn't want to go to the medical centre and when i asked why he said he doesn't take drugs , lets take a minute to process this scenario, this guy is very weak that he has to lean on a total stranger when he could just go get treatment and get his strength back. He said something about how he believes if he goes home he will be healed (which is total bullshit). Before i felt sorry about his health now i feel sorry for his mentality, i just cant understand how someone will subject himself to pain  because of a believe( jesus has already suffered for you!!!!) Thats just over doing it
Taking drugs or going to the hospital doesn't mean you dont have faith or believe in god, lets look at it this way, god created the world and all that is in it right? God is the one that gave the doctors knowledge right? So if god wanted us to suffer till we get well when we are sick, there wouldn't be drugs or hospitals.  Does that make sense? Please use your brain, you were not made for any religion. You not the slave of any believe.
