Dumb, deaf, blind, lame pieces of carvings. . . Eyes they have but they cannot see. Ears they have but cannot hear. Mouths they have but they cannot speak. Inanimate objects that'll need the help of mere man before it moves.

I see soyinka sitting among carvings. . . Very fine art.

umm no, you are mistaken. Each Spiritual Force is important and uniqe in its own perspective. therefore it is GODS, not gods.
i can understand if you wwere referring to man-gods like jesus or mary, then it can be lowercase. but these are Higer Spiritual POwers. GODS.

sexkillz: I don't use any form of idol in my worship. Sorry, you got the wrong guy. Idols are repulsive to me. The rosary is an idol. I don't use it.

Not every Christian uses idols in worship.


well you are not christian then. undecided

as a christian , you are supposed to worship these idols of men. the original christian church is the roman catholic church. so if you are not that you are not christian.

Then what am I? The Christian God is against the use of idols. I guess you didn't know.

It is funny how people are condemning Soyinka and the gods. It is a pity that the so called "western civilization" has blind-folded Africans. Some of you say that the gods are mere carvings but you hang a statue of holy mary in your house. Some of you say they are powerless but i can tell you that i have seen people that were killed by this same carvings.

I will not condemn or criticize any religion but i will say Soyinka has a right to practice his religion.
