OTURUPON- MEJI SAYS:

ogbon ni segun erin ni pote
bologbon meji bari ara won
gbogbo Akala ti nbe ni be won a dofo
Adifa fun atori rojo-rojo
ti n se akora ebora laye,
ebo won ni o wa se o

ShegeSam:
All religions are means of social control, whether African, European, Asian or Arabic. All religions involve an elite priesthood who earn their daily keep by interpreting the will of beings, who they claim must be interpreted by them, the priests.

It is sad that so many Africans despise their own ancestral religious traditions. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with African religions, however, there are several key reasons for the outstanding success of Christianity in Africa.

1) Traditional religions often functioned in African societies to prop up systems that exploited the majority of the population by sanctioning the divine right of kings and highly rigid social orders and caste systems. These systems often did not allow for upward social mobility. The poor remained poor with no hope of joining the privileged. Christian missionaries brought a doctrine that exploited these social divisions. Not surprisingly the message of the gospel appealed most strongly to those with least to gain from the old social order. The hope for change, for salvation within the Christian gospel has always appealed to the wretched and downtrodden in any society.

2) Christianity, from its very beginnings, has shown a great capacity to adapt and change to different cultures. Thus, the African Churches were founded on the desire to give Christianity a more indigenous flavour and very early on became a key factor in gaining converts to Christianity.

3) Mission schools offered a concrete path for self-betterment and empowerment through education. Since most opportunities for social mobility gradually came to depend on being able to operate within the colonial system established by the Europeans, it was essential that ambitious people learned to read & write and adopt European values.

What is interesting now is that the populations of wealthy countries have for a while been turning towards non Christian non Mus lim faiths, while the populations of poorer countries have become even more hardline fundamentalist Christians or Mus lims.

very beautiful and a sound reasoning

yemmydavid:

bawomol bawomol bawomol



my kudos to you

what are you studying about?

is it Ifa, Anago or Idigene, you need to clarify please

is the bible from god?

how would you describe that "way of life"

imhotep:
Now you are dodging. Give me a convincing proof, complete with references, bibliography and physical evidence.

It is not sufficient to doubt the existence of God in your mind alone.

@idinrete
There can only be one God, creator of the universe.

there is Allah, chineke, olodumare, yahweh,jehovah,mawu etc

but yahweh a.k.a elohim, jehovah, elyon was a very nasty, brutal, bloodthirsty, savage tribal deity of israel that condones slavery, killing of babies, ravishing of virgins which i will not subscribe to,

which of the "GODS" exactly?

hotfunmi na wao o

please cool down now abeg  se pele die die o, 

cgift says,

if i may second Jagunlabi, Logical i applaud you but one thing i beg to differ is that the bible is not a nice book; IT IS A VERY VERY BAD BOOK, those[i] idiotais [/i] that were inspired to write it were very ignorant of science, morality, astronomy, justice, et al plus whoever inspired them to write it

which god is a nigerian?

Hi IDINRETE,
Heaven and hell re real.I got it from the Holy Bible.In Mark, the Bible said |THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN BY MEN INSPIRED BY GOD. and the Bible also said only a FOOL says there is no God.The same God had created the Heaven and earth(You can find that in Genesis) and hell was created when Lusifa aka the devil sin against God (isiah 14 vs 12, )
My friend hell is so real,people are already there burning,regreting why they didnt accept Jesus Christ has there Lord and saviour and this is ethernity.Also Heaven is real,its is where the most High dwell (God)

heaven and hell are not real I got it from the un-holy bible

bolataiwo:
@idinrete

i believe u need spiritual cleansing.do u really no the implication of what you said

i dont think i need spiritual cleansing, spiritual cleansing is meant for those people that imbibe in that gibberish arrant nonsense called speaking in tongues,  which is a symptom of pyschosis;
D

what a balbative called speaking in tongues!

implication of what?, dont come with the threat of hell or eternal damnation and all that crap

rebomaskara yepaarippaaasa, sanabaribbbabba hebariboboboboo, shrooobbooooo ma daplaraga, a lot of paragaaaaaaaaaa rugabaskelleemmaaaa rosbostewjjjdcdijhdvbvgcsjjd

The bible said,he came to die 4 d world and not, He came to die for christian only.For thoes that receive Him (Dats is been Born again) power his made available to them and they are called the Son of God.that is why we don't see God has a judge anymore but has Father.
So if u re a muslim,christian,indu and whatsoever the religion and u re not Born again,You will never make it to Heaven.
Brothers and Sisters,[b]Hell and Heaven his real and people are already there spending ethernity.[/b]The bible has said it all.please repent because it might just be to late.
I can answer some brife question about this things has the spirit has lead if u wish 2 ask any question.

Cheers

where is your evidence? have you been there to know that hell and heaven are real. did those people send you an e-mail, pictures, or phone you , please get serious

WHICH GOD HAS OBANTALAPIPIPI FORSAKEN?, you people don come again o abeg leave seun alone jooo

jagunlabi:
Yes,throw the jewish tribal god into the ditch and welcome OBATALA OBATAASHA into your life.Eeem,are you yoruba,by the way?

I am a Yoruba to the core, mi o ki nse omo ale ti n fi owo osi juwe ile baba re

cgift:
You will one day see the folly in your choice and bite your finger in regrets.

im not one bit perturbed by the infantile and idle threat, im way way beyond that balbative talk.

have you ever considered those atrocities committed and sanctioned by the bloody thirsty, brutal, savage jehovah/yahweh or whatever in that filthy pentateuch which is part of your so hallowed bible.

is it a folly to denounce a tribal god of hebrew that ALLOWED SLAVERY, COMMANDED VIRGINS TO BE RAVISHED, REVELED IN ANIMAL SACRIFICE AND BURNT OFFERINGS, COMMANDED BABIES TO BE DESTROYED, even his beloved david would dash babies against rocks, what a fiendish king!

such tribal deity impinges my sense of sensibility and I will not subscribe to that savage monster,

YEAH! ONE LOVE IF WE ESCHEW THAT ATTITUDE OF "WE ARE RIGHT YOU ARE GOING TO HELL"

cgift:
And what is the positioning we should take as true "black men"? Throw God into the ditch and start serving our ancestors or what?

which god? if you mean yahweh,jehovah, elhoim or el-whatever, personally not only have i thrown that god in the ditch i have thrown him in the gutter where he belongs

omo.olomo:
I grew up in church, was in the choir, was an usher, wrote for the church magazine, participated in bible quizzes, sword drills, prayed, read the bible, and even once had the nickname pastor.
Now everything doesn't make any sense anymore. First, I'm in hiding because this would just devastate my family, and second, religion is too big in Nigeria that it's the worst crime someone can commit in this country. It seems Nigerians would relate more to a killer or scammer than an atheist. It seems like Nigerians would even prefer if their relative be gay than not believing in God.

Anyway, I just wanted to hear comments, questions, and of course hateful/rude responses.

Peace!

Re: Creation Is True: Bible Is True: Evolution Is False: Islam Is False.

why did you post yours in the first place?

SysUser:
idinrete, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

sysuser,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 

creation is false, bible is false, yahweh/jehovah[the biblical-creator] is false

Even if it is complete, it will still be a fable, nasty and filthy book period!

jesus did ask his disciples to buy swords, so you are on the right path if you acquire Weapons of Mass Destruction to defend yourself

Millena:
As the Bible says, "There is a path that looks good in the eyes of a man, but which leads to utter destruction". Do not joke with the Bible, or any part of the Bible. The Bible lives, and will stand to judge you on the last day. A word is always enough for the wise. The Bible is there to guide you in truth. But as Christ said, "who will I find to be faithful on the last day when I come to gather my sheep"? I hope and pray that you will be found faithful when Christ comes.

which? what? bible,  that filthy book that commands you to utterly destroy babies then you can keep virgins for yourself  [can you imagine the sex-deprived soldiers of yahweh/jehovah a war thirsty monster ravishing young virgins in sexual orgies] with  Moses, Joshua etc acting as the military supremos

khai_khai:
my simple answer to the question is NO, I do not believe in the creation story. .

But I won't go into any emotional tirade about raping of virgins, and the evils of the times.
that would be something for you on another thread that makes it a topic.

yes thats your own simple answer, what has that got to do with my own answer?

why not? are the rapings of virgin and the evil of the times, sanctioned by yahweh aka jehovah not part of the Torahic and biblical absurdities 

emotional tirade why wont i get emotional, when that filthy book[bible] is considered as an inspired word of god

khai_khai:
awwww,
1. sorry ehn, no vex

na Yes or No you for just talk.
2. e con be like say people wey you know suffer during that period

Why i no go vex,   i dont know if you have a daughter who is a virgin or not, imagine someone raping her and then he tells you that the order is from god yahweh/jehovah because you refused him to pass through your property, just tell him to bring the dowry


is that all you have for your line of reasoning on the thread?
