well...But Africans have almost monopolized it and as such all manner of commonsense fell by the wayside! If you are comparing with Americans (for example) You will not find 10% of Americans who think their jobs came from god or juju You will not find 10% of Americans who think their illness was caused by their enemies (in-laws, ex wife, business partner...rubbish like that) You will not find 10% of Americans who think people can fly at night You will not find 10% of Americans who think electricity, children, cars and recovery from problems came from god or juju) You will not find 10% of Americans who have uncountable children because they think god will feed them Simple phenomenons like a new work, phone, paying the rent and fixing a car are attributed to god or juju rather than the person being educated and qualified for the job, able to drive to landlords house or the phone shop! They then post online asking everyone to thank god or phoning the babalawo to congratulate him! The list goes on, but you will find over 90% of Africans who are stupid enough to believe very basic level of idiocy! Americans believe in all sorts but commonsense approach to life still outsmarts the level that many Africans are at today. The African approach is more closer to apes mentality on the subjects than the current human ones practiced by other sections of global society! 5 Likes |

Daviddson: So what if other people hold onto other nonsensical beliefs. That doesn't make them right. There are billions of people who claim Islam and Christianity - that doesn't make either true. |

Daviddson:Written by christians? Well, sheeple are sheeple all over the world, but don't be surprised that the authors were only trying to make money by publishing their books and controlling gullible minds with them so they could keep buying more and more books. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Nice thread Daviddson Lots of people have already mentioned what I wanted to say so Im gona include a few things 1.You can be an atheist and still believe in witchcraft , ghosts , spirits , the paranormal 2. Asians are so obsessed with ghosts that most of their religions have to do with venerating and worshiping ancestral spirits . These religions include Confucianism , Han folk religion , Shintoism etc . They believe that these ancestral spirits still have connections with the living and that they control their fortunes especially the ones of their descendants 3. Wicca that has to do with Pagan Witchcraft was first developed in England in the 20th century . You can find the number of adherents of pagan witchcraft here : http://www.religioustolerance.org/wic_nbr3.htm 1 Like

The Truth Is Life Is Both Hardware(physical) And Software(spiritual). What Has Been Programmed In The Software,manifests In The Hardware. The Truth Is,africans Dont Balance Theirs. They Mistake Everything For Spirituality. They Are Times Its Just Physical,and Times Its Spiritual. It Would Only Take A Spiritual Scientist To Differentiate Both. 3 Likes |

j1mmy: There are dumb people the world over. The average citizen of any society is not going to be intelligent. And you will find people who think that their job or 'blessings' come from a deity in north America, a lot more than 10% if the number of xtians is anything to go by. The same is true in China where people engage in ancestral worship and offer sacrifices to dead people. The problem in Africa is that a critical mass of people who are able to think rationally have not grasped the reins of power in any one country to steer that society in the right direction. If they did all of the useless traditional and religious authorities would have been sidelined long ago. In short the problem with Africa is cowardice. 2 Likes 1 Share |

You wanna know why Africans are backwards?? They are "wannabes". It's not bad to be a wannabe, but you become silly when you "wannabe" without innovations i.e deep thought process to do something differently. They want to be like and think like a westerner without thinking or researching how the westerners got to where they are. Did America just become America? Did America get the "motto" God's own country for getting sake. When the so called "wannabe" Africans as it concerns religion and atheism go back to history, they will understand a whole lot of things differently. I talked about the issue on this thread. https://www.nairaland.com/4143183/strange-animal-found-high-tension/5#61853636 |

OtemSapien:Google is free. Use it. CNN, Fox, RT carry news of ghost appearances too. You guys always want to make it look like these are African beliefs and superstitions, but you now know they are not! |

Edonojie007: I think you are confusing illiteracy and lack of commonsense with the definition of spirituality! The same mistake many Africans make that led them to the current state of global laughing stock! |

Daviddson:And the ghosts were reported to them by who? Check, you'll discover that it's the Christians or Muslims or other religious people that are reporting the ghostly occurences. Actually, people who are dead live on, but they cannot appear physically in our own 3D world here. Anybody who reported ghosts must have seen or come in contact with them in dreams or lucid dreams and not in our physical world, or else the person was hallucinating. I have seen ghosts too, but in dreams and lucid dreams. They can't come into our physical world, else they are no more qualified to be called ghosts but human beings. |
