Where Is God And Juju (vodoo) When It Really Matters? by HardMirror(m): 11:33am On May 15, 2016
I will keep this simple.

Many believe in God and Vodoo (black magic, charms, spiritualism), but as the popular saying goes, "Action speaks louder than Voice"

I see no reason why we should put so much effort in talking about God when demonstration of God is all we need.

Here are some cases to consider.

1. Where do you rush accident victims? Church or Hospital?
Even pastors would say it is foolish to take accident victims to church instead of hospital. Why? Are they indirectly saying it is foolish to trust God?

2. Where is God in times of epidemics/pandemics?
Has God ever stopped any disease outbreak?
Polio has been eradicated from any countries through vaccines and research. How many diseases has God ended?
Within the last 15 years we have suffered, SARS, BIRD FLU, SWINE FLU, EBOLA, LASSA FEVER, ZIKA outbreaks. While science was giving tangible proven solutions, what was God doing?

3. Who are the richest people in the world, are they those who did Blood money? Are they those who worship God? Even if you say some of them believe in God, what about Millions who go to Shiloh and Holy Ghost Congress every year and shout amen to Mighty prayers of great wealth? How rich are they today?

4. Where was our Juju when the whites were colonizing us? Where was God?

5. If something works, would there be need to get something else?
If Juju and God works, why do we keep improving on Technology and Science why not Improve on Juju and Faith in God?
Does it make sense to spend Billions of dollars on Milatary research when Juju is ridiculously cheap?
Why build space crafts when Witchcraft can take you to space within seconds?


6. Why conduct experiments to solve medical and life problems when all we have to do is just go on our Knees and ask God? Or Ask Ifa?
While developed countries are "wasting" Billions on research, why are we not simply asking our oracles for direct answer? Or asking God. Don't you thing we would have made Trillions of dollars from secrets Ifa or God reveals to us?



You can preach God all you want, you can praise Juju all you want. What I know is they don't matter where it matters.

Thank you

Faith whether in religion or in juju , makes no sense.

"Don't condemn that which you don't fully understand, likewise- never embrace that which you don't have considerable understanding of"

What or who is God?
what is spirit?
what is juju or Vodoo?
what is spiritualism?

What do you know of yourself and the history of those through whom you came? How far can you trace your lineage?

There is nothing called juju, it is word coined by foreigners, or at best, it is a word coined from an original word which is hidden.
Vodoo, Vodou are the same, they do mean juju or fetish... As christianity is to the christians or as judiesm to the fake jews so is Vodou/Vodoo is to the Fon people and/or Ewe people of West-Africa, It is a culture, not at all a religion. It was this system that the Haitians used to defeat the french army.

Behind every supernatural power (which infact is a higher science and mathematics) is not the deities, it is a Man or a Woman (Africans mostly, and a very few of non-Africans). If there are 2 billion Africans living, then there are 2 billion deities in a very dormant state (Me included). Yet there are several deities backing each of these Africans.

Why are they not helping?
1) We are too proud to accept ourselves for who we are (due to total self-forgetfulness).
2) You always actually tell them (Deities) not to interfere with you experiences. Deity/God respect your needs till the very last.

This is not religion in the slightest, not atheism either.It is simply being One with one's mind and self which is Spirituality.

gods in our time receives unnessesary praise for exploits of modern medicine.....you think of a god who can heal you supernaturally but relies on natural means to achieve their supernatural exploits. I still dont know why many religious ppl go to hospitals, i mean judging from the words of this holy books such as the bible , we should have alot of super jesus' roaming the earth healing all kinds of ailments. But hey, god works in mysterious ways....yeah when you take drugs of course wink

every aspect of creations there are rules that guard them. For example the creator honour one thing , which is FREEWILL which HE has given to any of HIS creation. In this "freewill" the fight to survive is in it , the knowledge of exceptional is there, power of success, many other things that will make life suitable to the environment are there and those who understand these rules excel more than others, now this where God will involve for those who believe they can't achieve it on their own tend to summit their will to their creator then another journey start with God. There is almighty God. There is a supernatural force somewhere , kekule was a chemist who have been trying to know the shape of bezene ring but he saw the revelation in the dream believe me after many years the same thing he saw in dream was what they discovered as the bezene ring, then now who or what shown him the ring?

Say who? What end? There is neither an end or a beginning for the Original (Wo)Man. We knew the beginning before we experienced it, we knew of the present long ago before we are experiencing it now, We know of the future or the end without end, We just simply want to experience it. The experiences are the food.

My sins are not mine, If you are a Black person, yours are not yours too, You merely learnt them; Recognize where you learnt them from, make adjustment and prepare yourself for the effects. It is the law and mathematics of cause and effect. Or make an amend (It does not mean confession, that is a pure nonsense).
