For me, to truly get understanding African history, certain conditions are to hold; one is to disregard rhetoric, hear say and all other anti-African discourse with regards to history.

Furthermore, to regard African history as genuine, If it isn’t written, deliberated-upon or judged by Africans to be correct and accurate beyond reasonable doubt, such writings that fit into these category must, for now, simply be deemed inadmissible.

That is to say, in a sense, most of the present Eurocentric and Asian discourse on African history will be deemed to be false and invalid.

The only true African history is that which is derived by an African(s), by default all other versions are false.

The discourse on European history is primarily exclusive to European writers.

The discourse on Asia’s history is primarily exclusive to Asian writers.

The discourse on Africa’s history is primarily badly concocted by European and Asian writers. This is where all of us (you and I) come in and repair the damage for the benefit of the next generations and our own overstanding.

Majority of ‘Classical’ European deities and divinities came directly from an African divinity, in some ways, they (the foreigners) would snatch an entire concept of ‘divine’ and transplant the same concept into their communities i.e Andromeda, Hermes, Zeus e.t.c

Greeks Zeus and many other mainland African divinity that the Greeks and Romans implanted into their philosophy; even though their total disregard for intellectual property is something that will haunt them forever. Roman Apollo same type of activity occurs; same thing with the Persians.

These are how the terms "Idol" and "lesser gods" came about. These are Asiatic and Eurocentric terms that have no real meaning outside of an Asian and European context.

Africans are ultimately responsible for most inventions, mostly, Asians and European academics often are found to have taken or been givven undeserved credit for African intellect.

Its important to note that today is better than yesterday, yet there definately is room for improvement with regards to giving Africans their due credit for their intellectual property at all times; everytime.

Africans invented (c) the speed of light, way before Einstein.

Africans discovered the presence of Sirus B star system way before N.A.S.A.

Africans are the first people in history capable to perceive the Almighty God.

As in, the Almighty God is African, IS universal; perceived by everyone.

The truth is that Africans always have and always will be capable of perceiving the Almigty God in their dailly lives if they so wish, its Asiatic and Eurocentric cultures thats all about Idol worship.

They (foreign manufactured religions) try to take away our true perception of the Almighty God and replace it with fiction.

No, Culture and Tradition is not Idol Worshiping
Re: Is Culture And Tradition Idol Worshiping? by Amujale(m): 11:57pm On Apr 23, 2019
Promoting, respecting and adoring ones culture and traditions are simpy the most effective ways for anyone to approach life as a whole. There is no other philosophy that can ever take its place.

Not all aspects of our culture are idolatous..

No aspects of our culture are idolatous.

Christianity is the definition of idolatry.

As in, everything about Christianity is fake and malicious.

Whilst our parents was concerned with promoting science, technology and intellectual improvement, Christianity on the other hand is concerned with murder, brainwashing, theft, impersonation, desecration, defamation and slavery.

Should anyone adopt a God who is not in the person's own image; once a person embraces doctrine that doesnt teach that person to love that person's own kind above any other people, when one's oppressor and saviour; one's God and enslaver are one and the same, such a person becomes the principal agent in the person's own destruction.

Its pretty simple, we MUST embrace our culture and tradition and bin all these foreign extremist religions.

I am more interested in Yoruba mythology than in reading the stories in the Bible.

Jesus is also an idol through another culture's perspective.

You are obviously refering to another Christianity, not the one I practice.

Christianity was manufactured by the Romans in the first century.

Assuming there's another kind of Christianity, you mind sharing the origins of that one.

I'm talking about having a personal relationship with God through accepting Jesus Christ by faith as your personal Lord and Saviour. That's the core of the gospel.

Eventhough we've already broken down the immure concoction of the term Idol worship in the context of these foreign extremist religions, and the fact that its nonsensical and has no meaning outside of the context of the Abrahamic religions, Culture and Tradition is NOT idol worship.

As a matter of fact, based on the toxicity of these foreign extremist religions, and perhaps more importantly based on their own definition, they themselves are the ones practising Idol worshiping.
Re: Is Culture And Tradition Idol Worshiping? by Amujale(m): 4:42pm On Jun 02, 2020
Culture and Tradition is where arts, commerce, science, technology and innovation comes from.

Without culture, in many ways, without the influence of African culture, there wouldnt be the products of innovation, civilisation that everyone now takes for granted. i.e Architecture, Art, Commerce, Mathematics, Medical Science, Metallurgy, Philosophy, Physical Science e.t.c

I don't know how you came to that conclusion. But I would recommend to you a personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. May be you will see things differently.

Jesus is not a fictional character. Both historical and Biblical records prove this. Oh by the way, I know too He is real because through faith in Him, my sins are forgiven.

One cannot prove the existence of something that never existed in the first instance.

The onus is on you to provide the evidence of the fictitious Jesus character.

Christianity is fake due to the fact that it isnt original.

The opposite of original is fake.

Similar to all these foreign extremist ideologies, Christianity is malicious due to the fact amongst other things, peddles a false representation of history.

Talking of history, these are one of the reasons one ought to bin these foreign extremist religions and concentrate our focus on reality.

The bible isnt a history textbook. ✖

ℹ'Blacksic People Invented Everything by Dr Sujan Kumar Dass is a history textbook.✓
