Cultural Theology Versus Religion by lawani: 1:23pm On Aug 04, 2016
I will use a successful nation as an example. To grade a nation, you have to consider peerage. European nations are peers, Southeast nations are peers, West African nations are peers. On any scale. Japan, South Korea, Singapore emerge tops whether by peerage or we just throw it open. Japan is the biggest and most impactful of the trio. So, let us use Japan as our example of a successful nation with a cultural theology as it was with all nations in the past without exception. The Japanese are very spiritual. They pray before doing anything and they are the best example to use for this illustration.



The Japanese and other Asians are more mature about God matters and are infact more spiritual than others. The stopped Christianity on its track in Japan in the 16th century. Hundreds of adherents were rounded up and executed and the nation was saved. They took industrialization from the West and rejected Christianity and Islam, holding on to the ways of their forefathers while supporting other non aggressive theologies that want to take over the world. They are co funders of the Ifa heritage institute in Oyo while the Yoruba themselves follow violent criminals like Adeboye and Oyedepo about thinking they are holy men amongst other expansionist capitalists in Islam and Christianity.


What should be the way forward?


A nation should have a cultural theology like Japan and any alien theology that is against the cultural theology of a nation should be banned in that nation. For example, Shinto is the cultural theology of Japan and Muslims and Christians are preaching against Shinto saying Shintos will be burnt in hell if they dont convert to Christianity or Islam. So the two theologies should be banned in Japan and any dissident found in Japan should be made to go to hell on Earth for peace to reign. Two rams can not drink inside thesame bucket. Simple. If a theology is preaching against ancestor worship, nature worship, tutelary deities and etc which are all parts of human culture, then, that theology should be banned before we lose this human civilization to the war the theology will eventually cause.
