What Has Religion Done For Africa. by RSA(m): 11:36am On Feb 07, 2016
History has shown that religion was forced on our ancestors and they took it not by choice. But today our people blindly follow any religion that was meant to make us submit to a white man.
There's no different between given a new name and given a new religion.The whole point is to deprive you of your real and true identity.They've taught us that our beliefs are evil; that our God/Creator is wrong.But what makes an Afrikan to belief in thier God?when all they did is killing ;raping ;slaving and hating our people.Why do you belief in their God when they treat you like a subhumans? Why do you belief in their God who tell you that your joy is in heaven which can only be reached by death while they enjoy theirs in our land?
God is an Afrikan that I know but he's not the one in the bible or quran.That god is a lier and a thief.
Afrikans my brotherens wake up.Let's be what we are created to be ourself and mothers and fathers of human kind.God is in us.

Afrikans are naturally spiritual being; and just observing Afrikans all over the world; from those at home to the one in diaspora who have never had physical connection with the motherland and some of Her beliefs but you see them connecting with their spiritual self when the drum play even in their churches.
My biggest issue is that all this adobted religions are stoping our progress as Afrikans.We as a race can never move forward as long as we are not united.Religion divides us to a point that brother could kill his own brother for his religion; for an adobted religion that is not even real.Afrikans bretherens wake up.Stop bowing your heads to the devil and take charge of your responsibilities as Afrikans.Free yourself from spiritual blackmail that is meant to control you through fear.

There's one thing about you that goes back tens of thousand years ago; before Abraham it is your connection to your ancestors,you are part of a long line that goes back to creation.Your spirit will go back where it comes from and I can tell you that it wont be hijacked by your new God and be taken "heaven".
For Afrika to go forward we need to stop believing in this devil religions.They've brought nothing but pain and have taught us to hate ourselves.We need to love ourselves again as Afrikans and the bible and quran won't help us.

The actual lineage of these European Jews of Israel today is limited going back only as far as to the Kharzar Jews of Eastern Europe whose ancestors merely converted to Judaism from their earlier belief of paganism.

Studies of DNA show that European Jews have a male line that comes from the Middle East (that is, similar to Arabs), while the mother's line is a mix of European and Middle Eastern genes. All Jewish groups, regardless of whether they come from Iran, Egypt, Morocco, UK, or Russia, are more closely related to each other than to the indigenous peoples of the places they inhabited. This would indicate an unbroken line back to the area from which the Jews were expelled, i.e. Palestine and Jordan.

I am with you on this bro 100%, and its really sad and unfortunate.
It is also a fact that when you forget who you are and copy the ways and dictates of others, you only learn to be like them, but can never be them. So then, you are no longer original you and you are not them eithet. You are in a quandary, a jam, between 2 stools, the devil and the deep blue see. LOST! Moreso, that which God has assigned to you, to Africa cannot be attained for you have adopted alien ways. And failure to utilize your own inherent portion may be taken from you. No matter how efficient something copied is, it can never be good as the original; and will always play second fiddle. These i believe keeps Africa where it is today. We must awake, be that which we are, embrace our own prior to the white man's rape on our society. I also feel that when we embrace, believe and trust in ourselves, our own religion, principles, culture, ideologies, system of government (not borrowed democracy originally created, fashioned to suit the white man based on his own heritage and people, which we sadly borrow and copy to govern ourselves-and which continue to mess us up... an alien constitution). Corrupt, thieving politicians, a BLONDE wig wearing judiciary that notoriously manipulate the law to suit the highest bidder...should we need EFCC when Ogun, Shango, Oshun, Orunmila, etc is there providing guidance, checks and balances; for these poliitical thieves and ganngsters to swear upon as opposed to the bible, and face the wrath and aftermath. An unstable religion that one time teaches of a heaven and hell...and later their no 1 rep (Pope) here on earth, (whether some see or accept him as such or not (a rep of the religion brought to them-i guess they now no better than those who brought it to them); A Pope who now says there is no hell or heaven (the same original tools of deceit and brainwashing), a statement which also discounts 'Jesus' prayer of ''our father who art in heaven...'' how so, what heaven? if there is no heaven according to Pope Francis; a statement which punctures the authenticity and validity of the Bible and Christianity; who now oks acceptance of homosexuality, lesbianism etc in church.

Oh Africa, AWAKE! Our gods rebuke our ignorance. Until we embrace our authenticity, who we are genuinely, progress and peace will be a far cry from us. Historically when our wiser ancestors embraced and practiced our African religion, we had the world in our pocket and were truly independent. Not the white man's type of granted so-called independence, and we gladly, sheepishly, ignorantly and still annually celebrate an indepence day; a 'ghost freedom'.
Today we are been expelled from these christian and islamic (also an alien religion) countries and we complain why? When in reality we should be joyful.
When you look at Africa with its earthly/ climatic blessings, you will see that we are naturally blessed with all the goodies and tidings of planet earth and need not America, Europe, Asia etc for any damn thing if only we can sacrifice to look inwards. Africa has remained cursed since their arrival on our shores. We have and continue to sell our birth right for a mess of pottage, sadly and unfortunately.
If only we could discard off all white and arab man's ways, shut down our borders, no exit, no entry for...i am certain we will be better of and come out better developed and contented and respected worldwide. Then we will receive God's true blessings and be truly, truly, practically and realistically independent.
Till then, we will continue to be ridiculed and perceived as jerk offs!

as i said earlier you are a promoter of the new world order. Many things are happening just for every one to seek a 1 world government. After that, religion would be seen as a threat to world peace. Since long before history upto the time of marxism and currently. Even anonymous render religion as slavery. All this just to bring the world to one government. That's why you are thinking the Whiteman brought religion to destroy us. All these are being planned.

Update me.

If I may contribute ideas:

Since its African, and it's for a wide African audience, it won't be fair to take a tribe specific god because they were different according to tribe. But all tribes in Africa had one thing in common, a supreme God that was also the one who created the earth.

And please, no crying, yelling and drama.

Can we limit offerings to only one? Just a free will offering.

No gossip in church/the chosen way of gathering.

For the doctrine :
- submit to elders,
- welcome strangers,
- love your neighbour,
- love God
- never forget history, lest it repeats itself, and on that point, forgive, but remember the name.

I have to agree with you. Canada where I live was founded on Christian racism. The natives didn't cede the land to us willingly. After failures to " convert the savages " threats of convert to Christianity or die , we ie. French & British simply killed them wholesale.

My people can be extremely racist. After we enslaved and colonized Africans and African lands , it was time for the Church to colonized African minds. Often we used tribalism to divide and conquer.

Pretty sad to judge a man based on skin pigmentation.
