The mass burial for them is being streamed right now on Nigerian news networks, presided over by the Catholic Diocese. The words he said that stuck with me is that "this is nonsense" and he's absolutely right; it's utter nonsense. He just doesn't realize how truly nonsense it is.

This attack was north vs. south. My religion versus theirs. It's people killing and being killed over their preferred flavor of bed time story.

Do not let anyone tell you that religion is anything other than human barbarism dressed up mildly better.

There was pandemonium at Saint Francis Catholic Church, Owa-luwa Street, Owo,  the headquarters of the Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State as gunmen attacked the church on Sunday. The attack on the church in Owo,  the hometown of the state Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, came barely a week after the Prelate of the Methodist Church of Nigeria, Bishop Samuel Kanu-Uche, was kidnapped in Abia State by gunmen the priest later identified as Fulani youths. It was learnt the gunmen, who attacked the Catholic church, arrived at the premises, which is less than 200 metres from the palace of the Olowo of Owo, at 12pm when the Sunday mass was being rounded off. The PUNCH gathered that worshippers, mostly children and women, were killed in the attack, by gunmen, who were said to have thrown an improvised explosive device before they started shooting sporadically.

OWO, ONDO STATE, NIGERIA — Nigerian officials have blamed the terrorist group Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) for an attack on a church in the country's southwest that killed at least 40 people. Sunday's shooting at St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo was the first linked to ISWAP in Nigeria's southwest, raising fears that terrorism in the country is spreading. Nigerian Interior Minister Rauf Aregbesola spoke to journalists in Abuja on Thursday, soon after a National Security Council meeting. He said authorities had monitored the situation for days and that "from all indications, they're zeroing in on the Islamic State of West African Province.”

Do not let anyone tell you that religion is anything other than human barbarism dressed up mildly better.

Unfortunately, we keep getting example after example of exactly this. Each of them doubling down by calling upon their god to help them defeat, or protect them from, the other, with divine right on their side.
