I've been watching Bollywood movies since I was a toddler and I've never seen any scene where a western or Indain preacher that adopted the religion of the west walks into a village, goes to a Hindu temple, confronts the Hindu priests, battles the Hindu gods, wins, burns down the temple and converts the entire village to Christianity.

I've been watching Chinese movies too since like forever and I've never witnessed a scene like that in any of their movies. Instead their religions and cultures are vigorously promoted in their movies.

But 80% of our Nollywood movies with plots set during the colonial era and even modern times have scripts like this; scenes of African gods being defeated by the white man's god.
Does it mean that the white man's god is powerless against Lord Shiva, Brahma, Lord Krishna, Buddha, and all the Asian gods?

Is it only when matched against the black man's gods that the white man's god is on top form?

Let me tell you something: Religion is nothing but a war of cultural identity and superiority.

And Africa lost the war totally.

The Indians and the Chinese held their gates.
They rejected every aspect of colonialism that sought to tarnish and belittle their cultural heritage.

That's why they stand proud today. Very proud and confident.

That's why you'll never find such scenes in their movies. Instead they are always promoting their culture and gaining converts from the west in the process. Many whites go on religious pilgrimage to India and other Asian nations, but little or none comes to Africa.

That's why you and I will never see anything wrong with a samurai, ninjas, kong fu, tai chi, yoga and all the things we see in movies from the lands of the rising sun.

Heck, Most of us wanted to be ninjas after watching Five Elements of Ninja and American Ninja, as kids.

The fact that ninjas are historically soulless blood thirsty assassins used by Japanese emperors to inflict fear and death on rebellious provinces didn't even matter. We all loved them regardless.

But the very sight of a dibia in a Nollywood movie would send negative signals to our brains.

Why do we always portray our cultural heritage in a negative light?

Yes, they were crude and barbaric; evil even.
But which ancient culture wasn't?
Even the bible and Quran cultures you hold so dearly are no exceptions.

It's funny how a lot of Africans still believe the white man gave them Christianity to save their souls and bring them salvation.

I laugh in 400 years of black slavery and subjugation.

Given how the white man treated our ancestors, like animals, how on earth are you people able to convince yourselves that they gave a Bleep about the black man's soul.

We were animals without souls to them!

Don't you see that you're still slaves?

It's 2017, the white mans world is working on innovative ideas. But Nigerian Facebook is lit with arguments of church tithes and offering or how to speak in tongues.
Is this how we're going to be great?

I've said this before and I'll say it again.

"Slavery never left Africa. They just removed the chains from our bodies and bound our minds with them".

YOU DON'T KNOW?

DRIVERS CAN DISAPPEAR FROM AN ACCIDENT SCENE, BUT CANNOT DISAPPEAR FROM NIGERIA AND APPEAR IN EUROPE.

VILLAGE PEOPLE CAN ONLY TERRORIZE THEIR CLOSE RELATIVES, BUT CANNOT GET RID OF THE POLITICIANS AND OTHERS IN POWER THAT MAKE LIFE MISERABLE FOR THEM.

RITUALISTS CAN TURN CHILDREN INTO POTATOES AND YAMS BUT CANNOT TURN THEM TO COWS OR CARS THEY CAN SELL FOR LOTS OF MONEY, AND STOP BEING BROKE.


ARE THESE MAGICIANS NOT SENSELESS?

The promoters of these myths and legends are the senseless ones.

CAPSLOCKED:

SAW THIS SAME VID HERE A FEW YEARS BACK.

TELL ME, DID THE TREE FINALLY DROP DOWN ON NOT?
DOES THIS VIDEO PROVE THAT A SIMPLE MAN-MADE MACHINERY IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THE SO MUCH EXONERATED WITCHES OF AFRICA?

BESIDES, PLANTS IN THE SAME FAMILY AS THIS TREE ARE KNOWN TO BE VERY FLEXIBLE, THUS, TRYING TO TAKE THEM DOWN USING A MACHINE LIKE IN THIS VIDEO WILL YIELD ALMOST THE SAME RESULTS.. WHETHER IN AFRICA, EUROPE, OR AUSTRALIA. THERE'S NO MAGIC IN THIS CASE.

Nice observation. The tree finally went down which means that man made machines are better than witches.

M0ron:
It did go down so obviously they used lesser force at the beginning.

I fail to see what the brouhaha is all about. The worst part is a legendary tale will grow out of this event that will live for ages.

The simply didn't apply enough force in the beginning and the way the angle used made sure that the tree wasn't uprooted properly.

Butterflyleo:
The word EVIDENCE speaks about empiricism and this points to science.

The spiritual does not subscribe to scientific empiricism (this is common knowledge to all).

The spiritual is the source of the physical but caused the physical from outside the physical and based on this detachment, the physical cannot quantify it because the physical is restricted to its realm of existence. (This is easy enough) even for you

However, in order to tap into the spiritual and experience it, you need a part of it and that is where the spirit of God comes in to take from God and reveal to us. [b]We have access to evidence you can never have at your leve[/b]l

Empty lies.

You are a liar that can never stop making things up and lying about them. What evidence do you have access to? Use your spiritual knowledge and tell us who will win the 2019 presidential election in Nigeria. Tell us how Yahweh created the human cell or how he created the earth magnetic field, use your lie lie spiritual evidence to tell us these things. We know it's very easy to sit down and firm empty lies, but when you spew them you better know that you aren't in your Sunday school class where you can keep sharing lies and mythology amongst each other.

Butterflyleo:
What you call a mythology is happening right now for the entire world to witness as documented in the bible.

You can continue deluding yourself

What is happening? How has the event happening in Jerusalem affected the world and in what ways?

Butterflyleo:
The sun is DIRECTLY beneficial to the earth IS A FACT as well. Can you deny that fact?

So the earths inner workings somehow got the remedy for the protection of the earth by itself despite being inanimate and brainless?

And this protection has been extremely effective for over 4.5 billion years right? That must be one hell of a top notch self derived protection mechanism for something as "deadly" as the sun isn't it?

You must have a lot of faith in the future destruction of the earth by the sun yet you close your eyes to the present protection of your puny life by the earth against such a lethal assasin as the sun and you also close your eyes to how directly beneficial the sun has been to the earth for over 4.5 billion on scientific years.

Keep on deceiving yourself.

You are a liar. The sun has not been beneficial to the earth for 4.5 billion years. In fact it is the other way round. The earth is 4.5 billion years old, and for virtually all of that time period , the earth’s climate has been inhospitable to human life. Even the earths magnetic field developed over time. There was a time the earth had no magnetic field. The magnetic field kept becoming better and stronger with time. Humans came into the scene about 200 thousand years ago. A very minute time in the scheme of things.

The sun is beneficial to the earth because of the earth's magnetic field. The sun on its own does not care about the existence of the earth. It is constantly sending deadly radiation that is supposed to end life on earth but luckily the earth has a magnetic field that is deflecting it.

The sun is going to destroy the earth in the future and that doesn't require any faith. It is a fact. The sun is growing and expanding, and as it continues to expand it will totally destroy the earth in the future. If it cares about the earth it wouldn't do that.

Even the earth itself does not care about the organisms that live in it because about 99% of all species that have lived are now extinct. Organisms have to adapt to life on earth and not the other way round.

The sun doesn't care about the earth because it will destroy it in the future. If it cares it won't and if it cares it won't be sending ultra violent radiation that will require the intervention of the earth's magnetic field. As the sun continues to grow the earth's magnetic field will become useless.

Butterflyleo:
A burden stone has been established. E go do you vaaam for eye.

You have no answer abi? Keep holding unto Jewish mythology as if it has anything to do with reality.

Butterflyleo:
Keep on repeating the part where the sun is out to kill you 200 times a day and maybe it would become a part of your belief system.

Why would the earth bother about a magnetic field or ozone layer as a protection? Protection of what? An inanimate painless planet?

4.5 billion scientific years of the sun sustaining the earth must be a lot of years of failed kill attempts on the earth right?

The sun must be a very bad assassin

You keep on making noise about ultraviolet rays but you forget that these same rays give us our much needed vitamin D and also improves our mood.

Why would a distant inanimate planet directly benefit a tiny human like me in such a way?

Scientifically observed benefits of these same UV rays are below

The sun is out to kill us is a fact.
The only reason why a human like you is alI've is because of the earth's magnetic field and ozone layer that protects you from the suns ultraviolet radiation.

I don't know why the earth is bothered about a magnetic field but it is as a result of the working of its inner core.

If the sun cares about us then why will it destroy our planet in the future? As the sun grows and expands the earth's magnetic field will become useless and the earth will eventually destroy the planet as a whole, why will it do that if it cares about humans?

Butterflyleo:
Its already affecting the whole world or is your news being read to you in Braille?

Even the Australian government has been very vocal about this since December 2017. Which part of Australia you dey? Inside bush?

How is it affecting the whole world Ogbeni? How? Has it crashed the world economy? Has it impoverished many nations? Has it made nations richer? How is it affecting the world and how has it affected Australia? Tell me how pls.

Butterflyleo:
You said take away the earths magnetic field so how come the earth then got this magnetic field as a line if protection for what? For what purpose would an inanimate planet require this line of protection? For itself or for those who inhabit her? Does the earth feel the pain of the sun? Does it care if it gets destroyed or "killed" as you call it?

You say the sun does not care but it cares enough to have kept the earth alive for what scientists say is for 4.5 billion years

That's a whole lot of years for it "not to care" isn't it?

The sun is constantly sending ultraviolet radiation that will end all life on earth, if it cares about us it won't be doing that. Even with the earth's magnetic field and ozone layer we still have to constantly protect ourselves from the sun, too much exposure to it will still harm us. The sun does not care about us because it will destroy the earth and everything within it in the future.

Butterflyleo:
I guess you are not watching CNN or BBC

Israel, Jerusalem is currently trending WORLDWIDE on twitter. I guess Poland, Nepal, India Korea, and all those other countries are not a part of the worldwide and by the way, Cameroon is directly concerned because they are currently there in Jerusalem. These are the list of countries there right now.


Albania, Angola, Austria, Cameroon, Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Georgia, Guatemala, Honduras, Hungary, Kenya, Macedonia, Burma, Nigeria, Panama, Peru, the Philippines, Romania, Rwanda, Serbia, South Sudan, Thailand, Ukraine, Vietnam, Paraguay, Tanzania and Zambia.


Keep on lying and deceiving yourself.

How does America moving it's capital to Jerusalem affect me here in Australia? How does it affect the people living in China, Argentina, Brazil, Malaysia and India for example? How dies it affect the world economy?

Butterflyleo:
Eeyah such magnitudes of ignorance.

So the ozone layer somehow knew it had to protect such tiny humans from the rays of the sun despite being unaware of our existence right?

So the sun also somehow DIRECTLY gives life to All green vegetation on this planet which on their own generate the OXYGEN we so depend on to survive while filtering the carbon dioxide we expel right?

Yet the sun also warms our planet, heating the surface, the oceans and the atmosphere. Releasing its energy to the atmosphere which is the primary cause of our much needed weather and climate.

Your ignorance is alarming to say the least.

I will quote from https://history.nasa.gov/



Somehow for no apparent reason an inanimate sun which is about 92million miles from the earth and unaware of the existence of the earth is DIRECTLY beneficial to the earth despite both planets being ignorant of each other.

Keep lying and deceiving yourself.

Dalaman the scientifically ignorant scientist

The same sun will someday destroy the whole planet so what are you yapping about? Even as it is the earth's magnetic field is what is saving us from the sun, because the sun on its own is trying to kill us.
Take away the earth's magnetic field and
ultraviolet radiation from the sun will harm all life on earth.

The sun does NOT care about us here on earth. It will destroy the whole earth in the future as it continues to grow.

Butterflyleo:
Yet none has ever been this volatile despite being about a rather small easily overlooked zone

Keep deceiving yourself e go do you vaaam for eye

What is this thrash? What is volatile here? That America has moved it's embassy to Jerusalem? How does that concern China, Sweden, Japan, Korea, Cameroun, Nepal, India and Poland for example? How does it affect the world economy?

Butterflyleo:
Yet the Sun which does not know we are here SPECIFICALLY works in benefit to us DIRECTLY.

Did the humongous sun which isn't alive make itself to be concerned and directly beneficial to such a miniscule humanity on far away earth?

You can tell lies for Jesus.

The sun is not working to benefit us directly. The sun is just there doing its thing while growing in size and all. It is the earth's magnetic field that is actually deflecting solar flares and the ozone layer that is protecting us from solar radiation else all humans would have been dead here on earth. The sun itself is out to kill us all. With time as the sun continues to grow in size it will destroy all life on earth and destroy the planet it self. So what nonsense as you saying that the sun is concerned about us? How is the sun concerned about us when it's constantly sending deadly radiation at us that are been deflected by the earth magnetic field and ozone layer?

Butterflyleo:
Eeyah ignorance overload. I guess the reason why 137 countries were asked to vote was because Jerusalem was useless to the world and I guess the reason why the world leaders are lamenting now is due to the insignificance of Jerusalem

Keep on lying to yourself. E go do you vaaam for eye.

Many world leaders or their representatives have casted votes on many other issues like the Iran nuclear deal, the Iraq war, the Russia vs Ukraine war, North Korean issue etc. Jerusalem is not as important to the world as New york, London or Hong Kong for example.

The nonsense written inside the bible that you posted has nothing to do with the reality of the world today.

Butterflyleo:
Maybe you can help dalaman out of his quagmire.

Can you show me verifiable evidence of the first man or group of humans that "created"/ " invented " God.

I would love to see it

You believe in a God created by the ancient Jews called Yahweh , yet you are yapping nonsense. Continue.

Butterflyleo:
Dalaman the burden stone is being unveiled already.

This is the world leaders reaction.



E go do you vaaam for eye.

Thrash, things like these have happened many many times before. In fact when the Arabs attacked Israel in the many wars they waged against the country deluded people like you. Kept shouting end of days. This one will pass as all the others have. Jerusalem isn't a burden stone on all the world except the middle east.

Butterflyleo:
E go do you vaaam for eye.

Meanwhile I am still waiting for your verifiable evidence that a man or a group of men somewhere invented God.

Be there deluding your self with ancient mythological nonsense. Even Jesus told his disciples to keep running round the cities of Israel and before they finish he will return. That was 2000 years ago. Your own na small.

"When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes".

Matthew 10:23

Butterflyleo:
You will soon understand what the word burden stone means. E go do you vaaam for eye.

You will soon see how economically linked every country is to the other which is why they all have allies.

Ogbeni , seems your lies are hurting you.

How has the nonsense written in the bible got anything to do with our reality today? Jerusalem will be a burden stone to all the people of the world how?

RuthlessLeader:
we were in the endgame in 1988,1989,1999,2001,2012,2018. Left to you people 3018 and we will still be in endgame.

Even Jesus told his disciples that they were in the enday game and that he will come back during their life time. That was 2000 years ago. This deluded African is busy yapping nonsense.

Butterflyleo:
Halleluiah, Halleluiah glory glory glory in the highest.

Isaiah 2:3 has just been fulfilled right before our very eyes even as Zechariah 12:3 was also fulfilled and i quote

How is Jerusalem a burdensome stone to China, Vietnam, Japan, Korea India and Sweden? What has ancient Jewish mythology got to do with our reality today? Can you see how ridiculous your delusion is?

Your country is still struggling with corruption and low life expectancy and you are praising god that USA moved embassy to jerusalem. SMH.

It's like you don't know Dalaman, that guy dribble pass Messi.

Shut up! Go and answer the questions I asked you.

Butterflyleo:
I don't care which one. I am typing English am I not? I said I DONT CARE WHICH GOD. All I want is your evidence for the very first man or group of humans who invented God.

Try to stop beating around this bush, you are punishing the bush unnecessarily.

Be specific about the God you are talking about because there are many Gods. When you are ready to specify which God you can let me know.

Butterflyleo:
You are being too desperate which is your usual manner.

I am actually making your job and this evidence easier for you.

I said, I don't care whichever God or gods were invented. All I want is your verifiable evidence for the first man or group of humans who you say invented God.

Show it to me and stop beating around this bush that is already tired of your beating

First group of Humans that invented which God? Is it Yahewh?

winner01:
You ignore my question and create a question for me based on what you think is my opinion?

Are you okay?

My first post to you was a question that you never answered, you still refused answer the ones that followed. Ogbeni answer them.

Butterflyleo:
Your statement which I responded to did not specify any God or gods so I am simply following your line of thought.

Simply show me the first man or group of humans who invented God. (I don't care whichever one). Go ahead and show me this evidence.

There must have been a beginning to this your much acclaimed invention of God so show it to me.

Your lies will not let you be. The post clearly explained the different types of Gods and even gave examples of each, but in your usual lie lie fashion you want to spin it into something else. Which God are we talking about because there are many different Gods that humans have invented and are worshipping. Which God are you referring to?

winner01:
lol, you can't cross the redline shey

Answer the question I asked you.

Butterflyleo:
Can you show me the first man or group of people who "invented" God?

I need evidence for your claim and not your usual nonsense you always type. Can you show them to me now?

Which of the Gods are we talking about? Is it those that worshipped the sun, moon and mountains as God? Is it those that created Yahweh? Brahma, Olodumare, Allah , Amun Ra, Brahma ? or the many God men out there? Which of these Gods because they are ALL different. There are many different Gods tell me which one and I'll tell you how hey were created and came about. Your own Jesus was created like 2000 years ago by people that are well known out of an.already existing God idea of the Jews.

winner01:
Mere words creates a living for comedians, you have not disproved this.

Your dishonesty is now making you mad seriously.

budaatum:
So, no evidence is required to believe in things spiritual, right? You can make it up in your head and not need to support it with empirical evidence?

I wonder why you then claim spiritual explains the empirical then.

See finishing. . These dolts don't think through before saying things sometimes.
