PAGAN 9JA:


the pope did all that in the name of your God. not only him.millions of evil men like him did it in the name of your God. there is certianly something wrong with your God, for only your abrahamist gods are capable of invoking such violence. they have an evil aura around them. if your God is true, he wouldve prevented such attrociites in his name.


I KNEW YOU ARE IGBO! TRAITOR! angry

People who use the name of the one and the only true God to practise evil and selfish gains have a greer cross to bear. But it doesn't change the fact that our God still remains the one and only true God anyway.

Just because i'm a follower of Christ does make me an Igbo traitor
I want my black race to come out of the bondage and darkness we are in. I still remain truly African but not with my thinking and faith.

just your saying that doesnt make it true. we need facts and proofs why your god is better than my GODS.

as far as i know, your god is a mass-genocidal killer, likes to killl babies, steal hard-earned money , destroy cultures, and countless other such things.

YOU ARE AN IGBO TRAITOR.

1) stop being racist. we are discussing Igbos here. not skin colour.

2) If you want them to come out of bondage, dont just talk. set an example and convert to Traditional Religion. be the one to take an initiative. educate your people. dont just talk tall things.

3) You are not an Igbo. your brain is that of a species of animal called "heebo". you are an unwanted jew who is denied israeli paspport. you are also a wannabe.

You gave anyman an ordasity to kill even your dumb god, can they even produce a single hair on the body. Do you think the law makes people act right, , these criminals knows quite alright the penalty of their crimes and yet they still do it. My their friend crime is a thing of the mind and it can be conditioned out of the mind without killing or jungle justice

yes but your irreligion encourages criminals by your cheezy tactics to gain converts. btw do you know why crime rate in Saudi Arabia is at an all time lowest

go figure Sherlock.

Just because my faith did'nt originates from my tribe doesn't mean it is a false faith. Christianity is a faith of love and if my people can practise the true faith, we won't be where we are now.

they may sponsor destruction in other countries but look at their own country. have you ever wondered why there is so less crime there? its because of their harsh laws to crackdown on crime. people are scared to commit crime there. unlike christianity that breeds criminals and spawns crime.

sexkillz: Roman catholicism is false. Apostasy sprang up in the first century C.E after the death of the last apostle of Christ. The deviation from true Christianity started then and has been worse since then. The catholic church has been lying for centuries. . .

You guys need to be educated.



Again with such unintelligent display.


If the catholic church is false, christianity is false.


You do realise that the very bible you use was compiled by the catholics? No one knows what thye added or left out.

Catholic church remains the oldest christian denomination.


Thanks again for showing that christianity is false.

Far from it bro, it is not the Saudi arabian law that is keeping them from crime, let me educate you man
The Saudi arabia depopulated country that is they have a minimal population which their resources and wealth can carry quite comfortably .
He or Her citizens enjoys the basic necessities of life (food, light, comfortable shelter, social amenities, job, world class health care etc )
So tell me why these people will indulge themselves into crimes
Any man who will indulge himself into stealing over there is definately suffering from Cleftomania
Why is Pakistan, Iran and iraq not the same as Saudi, my brother the difference is clear
And this why they so dumb that they don't know where to put their excess resources but to support crimes and destruction of the world and innocence people in the name of their sterile religion

Who would love to be called or linked with criminality
Do you think my people love crimes so much, it is because they don't have
If you like bringing your forsaken sharia law into this land it won't work we will just end up amputating, dis figuring and kill our people just for nothing , because they will still steal with their remaining one arm.
The law cannot subject one to overrule his survival instinct.

Before the Roman Catholic the gospel of Christ was
Catholic is not and i repeat not the first churches established
Remember Christ told (Cephas) Peter " Upon this rock, i will build my church" ( That's the meaning of Peter )
Paul and the rest of the apostles have been founding the churches all around Isreal
Not until Paul went to Rome to preach and introduced the gospel to them. A lot of Roman kings went against him not until the gospel finally prevailed that Constantine the then Emperor of the Romans welcomed and accept the faith.
I won't dispute the fact that the Romans used their power to give Christianity great organization and total spread worldwide
But the reason i don't go with them is that they included their home deity into Christianity.

Its a pity Nigerians have taken religion to a different level, else how does these lovely artworks translate to gods? The people who broght religion to these parts can pay their blood to buy works of art like these.
We should learn to dissipate our energies on productive activities, else we will remain this way: no progress, no common sense as a people, no creativity or appreciation of it, nothing!

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.

It is written in the bible and I qoute "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth"

SIMPLE, and thanks a lot//Pagan, all what I can read from u is trying to equal God and gods//I think sexkillz did educate you on that//You were talking about carvings in the church//Have you seen any earthly carvings besides the heavenly ones, like Obatala, Sango, Oranmiyan and the likes?
