Preamble:
Indeed, the world today is
greatly coloured by different religions spanning from Christianity, Islamic,
African Traditional Religion, Buddhism, Hinduism, Shintoism, Confucianism, et cetera. However, it is important to
note that each of these religions has adherents. Besides, these religions deal with beliefs
and practices. They have their doctrines, and codes of conduct that are inevitably
imperative on the adherents, of course for their own good. Nevertheless, irrespective
of the fact that there are many adherents of these multiple and diverse religions,
it is quite irreconcilable seeing that our society is still notorious of, and
traumatized by some ills like: kidnapping, robbery and uncharitable escalation
of prices of goods in the market. Therefore,
the questions become, does it mean that these religions promote the practice of
kidnapping or robbery? Or are they the cause of the adherents of these
religions? And if the answer is in affirmative, why? Consequently, an
investigation into these will constitute the task of this essay.
