Mehn! We learn new things everyday. Pls hurry up with your ''more to come'' post. I cant wait to read and learn more.
u bi proper mumu. someone who knows nothings about tradition,but based hs/hr understanding from religious angle cant discuss esu abi? he/she sti l needs to be a genius? i pity your reasoniing mentality

understanding from religious angle?
What religion, if I may ask?

If you know nothing about tradition, myth and divinity in yorubaland how are you gonna know what esu meant to the yoruba culture, its practices, principles etc in order to make a comparison with the mythical satan character??

I wouldnt sweat it, you are a ''genius'' you should be able to do it.

I cant wait!!

Pastor AIO:

I think that the way to go about this is for both parties to draw up 2 [b]lists of attributes.


The list of attributes of Esu vis a vis the list of attributes of Satan. And then we'll see how many similarities or dissimilarities there are between them.

Toba: bayo, how are you gonna solve your birthday logistics problem

bayo: my wife suggested a list.

Are you telling me that the conversation above only implies bayo's wife wrote a list? Or it can also mean bayo's wife suggested bayo draw up a list?

You are a daft joker.

Long before AIO came up with the suggestion we straight thinking ones had already posted scholarly articles adressing the issue, jentwemi posted several links, i did one. The diety ESU have been well explained in them as well as a comparison with the satan character.

We await you to intelligently refute them.

1. can you pls back up your claim that esu does evil?

2. can you define what you mean by ''evil''. for eample is killing 'evil',  or is it only ''evil'' when satan does it? yahweh kills too, so tell us why yahweh is not same as satan.

3. Tell us HOW esu doing so-called ''evil'' and Satan doing ''evil '' too translates as them being the same character.
For example if the Greek god Chaos was said to be the foundation of all things, the Jews believe Yahweh to be the foundation of all things., Will it be safe to assume that since they both were said to be the foundation of all things, it therefore follows that the Greek god chaos = yahweh? And a worshiper of Chaos is by default a worshiper of yahweh?

In Yoruba mythology, is Esu a character who antagonize all their gods?. Is Esu an enemy of Yoruba gods and goddesses? ; If not, what does his character portray in the lives of the children of oduduwa. Is he an accepted helper or destroyer. I need explanation here before I draw my analogy.

It is Esu that facilitates communication with the Gods. When one makes an ebo to the Gods it is Esu that carries the ebo to heaven to deliver to the Gods.

That is why every Orisha shrine has it's own Esu. Without that Esu it is impossible to communicate with that orisha.

Esu serves to remind Mankind that he doesn't know everything. So Esu is against pride and certainty and self aggrandising, and i-too-know-ism.

Esu serves as an orisha of Justice. He ensures that the truth will come out and he is therefore a dangerous orisha to those who live a lie.

The closest dieties to Esu in European mythologies is Hermes the greek God of communication who also resides at the crossroads (orita merin in yoruba) and delivers messages to the Gods.
Hermes (pronounced /ˈhɜrmiːz/; Greek Ἑρμῆς)is the great messenger of the gods in Greek mythology and additionally as a guide to the Underworld. Hermes was born on Mount Cyllene in Arcadia. An Olympian god, he is also the patron of boundaries and of the travelers who travel across them, of shepherds and cowherds, of the cunning of thieves and liars,[1] of orators and wit, of literature and poets, of athletics and sports, of weights and measures, of invention, and of commerce in general.[2] His symbols include the tortoise, the rooster, the winged sandals, the winged hat, and the caduceus (given to him by Apollo in exchange for the lyre).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes

In Roman mythology he comes closest to Mercury.

In Hindu mythology he comes closest to Ganesh.

You seriously do not want that, do you? To prove that your jehovah is the most evil deity ever created is the easiest thing in the world, and that by using his own socalled "word", the bible. It has been done before on this forum. Jehovah was pitted against the devil on which one is responsible for the highest body count in the bible and Jehovah won that contest with a landslide victory. There is no being that is more genocidal in all mythology than the jewish deity that you worship. He is the personification of evil. When it comes to doing evil, satan is a saint, a lamb compared to jehovah.

Jenwitemi: No, he is not deluded. You are the one needing some education. Satan does not exist in yoruba mythology, so we do not need to call him anything. The error of translation was made by Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther when he translated the satan character to esu.

Satan exists in yoruba mythology maybe you don`t know, that is the reason why we need to move to elders to learn, Satan is OLOSI in yoruba mythology. IRE OOO
