I just do not get the rational that make people worry about the unknown heaven/hell! The underlying human problem is fulfilling the needs of people here on earth. People should try to narrow the huge difference between the limited material/resources and the unlimited human needs/wants. Though I believe Liberal Art is the only solution to unshackle humans from the medieval type beliefs, it is sad to see the existence of people with such type of cruelty and idiocy in/around our society. If a community or society strives or demands for better living conditions including the availability of quality social services, academic and research institutions, modern hospitals, jobs that pays well, availability of affordable goods and services in the market, safety, the right to express free will and other secular needs, it would have been just and we would have been supportive. But imposing what one has to worship committing violent action in the 21st century is scary.
People are entitled to or not have religion. As Ethiopia is home to diverse people with varied norms, and those people live in close proximity, it is imperative those who preach the unknown to know their limits. This is a MUST. Again, our focus has to be fulfilling earthly needs. Those who are tired of “Yemeder Nuro” and want to give priority to the “WediaGnaw Alem” can go there alone and at any time with out any help.
