Excuse me! Small Gods you say?. Yet these Gods protected our ancestors, kept our lands free from disasters, enabled us build empires, graced us with intelligence and skills to overcome life's huddles, healed us etc.

Surely ur God, Jehovah must be the small ones

mental slaves! Their treasure is in heaven! That's why their earthly abode is an eyesore. Am surprised at the level of. Stupidity a lot of them showcase up here with confidence..
It baffles me and pains me why people tend to love the unknown and ignore the known. . . Heaven is unknown and so is hell; they all believe cus someone said or an ancient book said. . . Only earth is real out of all this, earth is the only reality that is truer than true. .it saddens me when people ignore the known (earth) even expecting it to get raptured or destroyed(christians), some even blowing it up themselves (muslims) because they put their hopes in the unknow (heaven) and fear their own myth (hell)...
My only concern is the well being of this earth and these religious beliefs is a whole big threat to mother earth...
People should learn to love and preserve the known
look upon the earth and everything in it with love and care
Earth is beautiful
Earth is wonderful
Humanity is wonderfully beautiful
They do not deserve to be raptured or destroyed
neither will they be
Let ua together rebuild this world that our children may share in the days of peace...

It is easier to label a person than debate them that way you do not have to use your brain. Just find a label that suits and apply it . Obote Man,Radical,Boko Haram ,PDP man,APC man ,vegetarian, cultist ,Ibo,lesbian etc . Once you find the right label that is it end of discussion you have won!!

I think the reason some people embrace religion is to extend or escape the punishment for their sins and misdeeds because we were told that our God is a merciful God, people now use that as an excuse to commit all kinds of atrocities and confess to pastor later but during the days of our grandfathers, people are being punished for their sins by their gods immediately.

If not that some evil people misused the power, I kina prefer our traditional religion.

No one.misused nothing. It juat declined due to missionary brainwashing.

Honestly i will say that the many replies we get from the Christians here are utterly disappointing and unintelligent.. .
Have heard many say the white brought education and civilization here, oh that is correct they brought their OWN education and taught us to ignore ours.
I am an igbo and i was suprised when i did many research about my tribe and found high rate of intelligence For intance the ancient igbos had knowledge in music, medicine, biology, geography, astronomy and suprisingly have their own mathematics...
the igbos accurately divided the year into 365 days thousands of years before the julian and gregorian calendar was brougth to us.
the days are divided into 4days in a week (eke, orie, afor and nkwor)
then 7weeks in one moon (month)
then 13months in one year and then a 1day added to it and gives you precisely 365 days...am sure most igbos here dont know this.
Before the missionaries came to africa, the african society was diverse, culturally rich, beautiful, morally stable. we had our own unique mythology and religion, our own gods and ways of worship.
We had unique knowledge and relationship with nature and the world and our religion taught universal goodness.nobody ever thought or said the world will rapture or get destroyed, their deep love for mother nature was unmatched...
Then the white men came; they did many magical things, they can kill you just by pointing a stick at you(Gun), they did many wondrous things that were new and strange to us...Then the inferior feelings set it, we saw our selves as the inferior beings, we started listening to them.
They taught us our gods are demons but the one they brought is the real universal god, they threatened us with hell fire and the world's ending... We blindly believed them, they branded our ways demonic endorsed theirs, We fell for it....I am still wondering how the africa gods which are supposedly the evil and dark ones never threatened anybody with eternal fire or damnation or ever threatening to destroy the whole earth, but the one they brought who they claim to be love and just does that and is proud of it...Please who is fooling who
we blindly abondoned our ways and embraced his, now we are lost in his confusion, our own ways are now strange to us...
When are we going to say enough and take back our lives...
Beautiful african utopia is now in darkness claiming to be in the light..
we are blind, blinded by our own ignorance and vainful vanity...
AM NOT HERE TO ARGUE, JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT...

Read this provocative truth.
Even the respected Chinua Achebe could not convincingly defend the so called damages caused by the advent of the British in Things Fall Apart. He was clearly against them bringing Christianity to Nigeria but failed to clearly defend the Igbo traditional religion. I however comend his professionalism for making a great book not letting sentiments becloud his rational thinking.

what makes this true?

According to religious ethic, some problems are solved while some end up resurfacing after a while. d bottom line is dat, devil can't give you a gift without collecting something else from you. dia must be an exchange.
And jehova will give you gift + peace?
How about job,samson,solomon.
Don't deceive yourself,they got gift and paid for it in full.

Please bro how is all these things you mentioned here different from the attributes of the old testament yahweh? Human sacrifice (almost used isaac, jesophaths daughter, and even his own son jesus) animal sacrifice and ethnical cleansing, infanticides... why dont you start condemning from here... This is one thing with religion. everybody so quick to point out the flaws in others but ignore that same flaw existing within their own order, i think somehow they think theirs is different...

Such wisdom! Good to know that ppl are beginning to note the fakeness of the christian god and christianity itself!

There have never been a time Christianity has not be known. It has been from the foundation of the world. Every other god came thereafter. In the old and now people still worship these gods but Christianity still standout. In solving problems God Almighty is the best solution because He made everything.

Isaiah 31:1

Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
So says the Holy Bible?

Very rare. Im yet to see a proper example. Most of these ppl r just ritualists making business.

The priest is just for guidance. You can set up your own shrine at home for daily purposes. Where you can conduct daily prayers or rituals. Why not do that?

I don't really have an idea regarding the question but to be honest, the little I have known,seen and learnt from my grandfather then made me believe that their gods answered and provided for them during their time. He was a pagan but believe me, I have never seen an upright, honest and man of good morals like him.

He said things started falling apart when the chief priests out of their own selfish interest misused the power been given to them and lie to their worshippers just like our pastors do now.
