macof: Let's clarify this now.

Christianity is fraud, Yeshua being the son of God, only way to God is a lie made up by the Romans and Apostles.
Yeshua is nothing more than a Jewish peasant who did miracles and was wise in his teachings. Half of his life story written from Matthew-John is taken from the life of the Persian god Mithra, whom the Romans worshipped at the time of yeshua's life
The Trinity is a theology of the Romans, which they have been exposed to for centuries from Zeus,Poseidon,Hades to Osiris,Isis,Horus to the trinity of Mithra, so it's no surprise that they refer to Jesus as a member of a trinity.

The early Christian fathers Martyr and Tertullian who were the brains behind the compilation of the Bible claim Mithra was a demon sent by the devil to copy the life of Yeshua so it would seem Yeshua is the copy. since they couldn't deny that Mithra worship was much older than yeshua.

Some Christians of today say the Romans copied some of Jesus into Mithra, but is that senseless defense? Mithra is over 3500 years and his worship as remained the same till today.

Christians think they honor Jesus but they actually honor the Persian god Mithra. Mithra's day is Sunday, the day is even named in his honor, because he is the Sun god of Persia(ancient Iran) and later the Romans started worshipping him instead of Apollo

Mithra is born 25th December if calculated with the Gregorian calendar

The very Vatican church was initially a temple of Mithra.

Mithra is therefore the god of the Christians and Christianity is formed from both Mithra worship and Judaism.
Other pagan gods have been merged into Jesus's life notably Horus of Kemet(Egypt) Jews have said the real Jesus is a false Messiah who failed to prove himself.

Islam is a deliberate attempt by Mohamed to elevate the status of his family's pagan god.

The Kaaba in Mecca was originally devoted to 360 gods of the ancient Arabs

Mohamed claims this Kaaba and it's black stones were built by Abraham and Ishmael

I wonder what Jews and Christians have to say

Mohammed was probably bad at calculating time in Years because he claims the kaaba was built 40 years before the temple of Jerusalem but the temple wasn't built until Solomon was king of Israel- you see my point?

Originally Allah was worshiped by Abraham and his family with the name Sin/Naana, Sin is the God of moon in Assyria and is attributes are: Creator of all living, creator of earth(the ancient Assyrians and their neighbors believed the earth is formed from the moon), head of the gods etc.
However Abraham left this God(Sin/Naana/Allah) and lived among the canaanites, He adopted the worship of another God(El Shaddai) who later revealed his name as "Yahweh" to Moses

Buddhism is not pagan, it is even more philosophy than religion. Buddhist believe in gods but never worship any.
They live according to the teachings of the Buddha, they are into nature forces and meditate regularly to connect with these forces, they are also very interested in seeking wisdom and knowledge.

The Buddha who was born hindu in Nepal, saw no need to worship the Hindu gods as whether you worship them or not they don't care and would still Perform their duties in maintaining the universe. He realized that only a man can save himself and he gained enlightenment, wisdom and knowledge , he also performed miracles but he is never worshipped as a god, or only son of God.

Judaism the primal father of Christianity, Was made by Moses and the religion is based on the laws which he set for the Israelis in accordance to the will of Elohim

The Elohim literally means-children of El, El is the supreme God of the Semites and Head of the Elohim, he is sometimes referred to as El Elyon-meaning God most high.

Moses taught the Israelis to recognize Elohim as one instead of the numerous numbers of gods which they knew.
And was against Idols dedicated to any single Elohim.
It should be known that Israel was devoted to/under covenant with only one of the Elohim, and that's El Shaddai/Yahweh. This God in the canaanite spirituality(which the Jews followed) is the God of mountains and fruitfulness, he is not the creator of heaven and earth, or the supreme God, El Elyon is the supreme God.

Pure Paganism: paganism has nothing to do with devil or satan as most Christians like to say. Pagan religions include: Hinduism, Chinese Religion, Kemetism, Greco-Roman religion, Mithraism, Semitism, Ifa-Orisha(Aborisha), etc.

Paganism refers to the indigenous beliefs of a group of people spanning from their ancient civilization.

Paganic religions are the oldest religions in the world, their origin cannot be traced.

They are for the people of land, and it is how they live to recognize and honor the forces of the universe.

Paganic religions often have numerous gods, but a supreme God is always present, these gods are portrayed as either children or lesser siblings formed from the energy of the supreme.

Paganism signifies mental independence, ethnically identity and peace

I made some modifications, I found out some new things that I had to post
Re: You Should Read This About Religions by macof(m): 1:42pm On Nov 13, 2013
Why should An African go on Pilgrimage to foreign lands?

why should African muslims go on pilgrimage to mecca?

Why should African christians go on pilgrimage to Jerusalem?

I'll address this with to points:

1. We know that its a muslim tradition which was part of the tradition of the ancient pre-islam Arabs to walk round the kabba and pray to their gods. each person praying to his personal god from the 360gods the kabba was dedicated to.
In today's Islam, Muslims pray to allah one of the 360gods of the kabba. The other gods are ignored.

But why should a non-arab go on pilgrimage for an arab god? allah and other 359gods are arab gods. As a yoruba you have sango, Orunmila, ogun, Osun etc to go on pilgrimage for, not An Arab god. There is a big community in Ile-Ife dedicated to all Orisha, walk into the area and pray to the gods of your ancestors. Why should u ignore Olodumare and any God ur family progenitor worshipped for allah? Are u Arab?


2. pilgrimage is not even part of Christian traditions, African(Nigerian) Christians are just copying the muslims. The head location for christianity is The Vatican City in Italy and Not jerusalem. That is not where christianity started but thats where it ended and was revived again by the Romans. They made some modifications and began to preach with Soldiers. If not for the Vatican City and The Roman heads Christianity could have ended and we wouldnt hear about it today just like No one hears of sabbateans. Jerusalem is not a Christian city, its a jewish City and the people there practices Judaism. Why is a Judaic location, the christian pilgrimage site? Christians woud say it because Jesus lived, preached and died there. Jesus himself was not a Christian grin(funny right?) He was A JEW. His apostles made the religion and it wasnt even wat it is now, You have no idea wat they Romans have done. But the blame goes to the Apostles because they were the ones that elevated a false messiah.

When Christianity finally took hold in major places of the world, pilgrimage wasnt a thing of discussion. or can any Bible fanatic christian tell me where in the bible non-Jews are suppose to go back to jerusalem. there Bible talks about the return of the lost sheep of Israel but is A yorubaman a lost sheep of Israel? Why should You now be trooping to Israel on Pilgrimage?

The Europeans who brought Christianity came with an hidden agenda, They came as Christians stealing our resources and by the more organized and more advanced technology won vital battles against Africans. Many live were lost, and many were taken as slaves on ships to Europe and America.

Missionaries began to threaten our people with "hell" told them that our ancestors were demon worshipers who would burn in hell and so would we if we continue with Our religion.

Why did they do this? Was it truly because they were devote Christians who loved Africans and wanted to bring salvation and heaven to Africa?

Didn't we already have our own salvation? Is it only Europeans and Jews dat know God?
Does this mean that our forefathers were not for God?

In christianity, being a pagan is being evil, being a muslim is being against the word of God. Jesus is the one and only way to heaven and only faith in him can open the gates of heaven.

In Nigeria today, all those who are pagans are mocked and abused for living in evil because they have refused to dump their God and embrace Jesus as their God.

Wat is the problem with being a pagan?
Is it not because of the mystery of God we all are in a religion/spirituality?

If ur understanding of God is different from mine, why should u prosecute me?

Pagans are glorious children of the land, because our fathers fought with their blood for this land and we worship the God that made it possible for our ancestors to actually be our ancestors.
Why are people saying paganism is a path to hell?

Abraham worshipped a pagan God, so did Isaac and Jacob. it wasn't until Moses that paganism ended for the Hebrews.
I won't explain this now but maybe another post

Is this not brainwash and mental slavery to reject ur identity and lose pride in ur ancestors just because some white men tell you things(lies). They preach a heaven that is filled with white God, white Jesus and white angels.
In our own African religions, Dark-skinned Gods, Dark-skinned angels and the whites are those with abnormalities.

Even these white men who brought u christianity are dumping christianity since it has nothing more to offer them, they used it to get wat they wanted from Africa and now it's becoming useless.
