[b]It was a rape of culture, belief and norms. It was a terrorism of traditional heritage and the emergence of an alien religion based on inferiority complex and background.

I took time to study into my traditional religion and i found nothing absolutely wrong with it.
Its not just christianity but islam too, both are middle east concepts and myths one propagated by the arabs and the other reworked by europians and sold to africans.

Before the missionaries came, African had their own religion, culture and tradition. we had our own little way of science and technology. . . They had knowledge in astrology, mathematics, music, medicine, biology, simple physics and many more.

e.g: Ancient igbos successfully divided the year into 365days of 4day in 1 week and 7weeks in one month and 13months in one year.

The foriegners came, they brought with them many magic like never seen before, they had a fire stick that can kill at just a click unlike our manually operated bow and hand thrown spears.

They had boxes that talked and then they laid claim to a better knowledge and we swallowed it. Its not wrong acquiring knowledge all round you but denying yours is the problem.

They criticized our Gods and termed them demons and evils but they said the one they brought was the best and the good one.
They threatened us with a place of forever burning and the end of the world and we fell for this fear.

It makes me wonder; How the African Gods that never threatened anybody with hell and end of the world was the bad one while the one they brought that derives pleasure in such threats is the good one.

They blamed us for a sin supposedly committed by their own mythical ancestors, they told us we were evil and bad and worthless that is why we needed to saved from what their God will do to us if we fail to believe it and leave ours

They raped our culture and our ways, we lost ourselves in the blind notion of seeing the light.

Fela Kuti said; Go to china, vietnam, korea. . "their culture is their teacher". Majority of
Chinese are buddist or other chinese traditional religion only a few are christians or muslims.

The chinese style of writing remains the main mode of writing even for their mobile phones and computer. The same china was colonized by britain, they embaced civilization but never lost or abandoned their ways and culture.

But africans carry other people's myth and beliefs in their head like it concerns them more while subjecting ours to neglect and abandonment.
An average christian can tell you the geneology of Jesus down to what ever but cannot mention his own geneology to his great grand father, same way an average muslim know more about muhammed than his own ancestors.

If the missionaries had packaged and brought Greek mythology here (God zeus)instead of jewish myth. Africans would have still believed it exactly same way they hype christianity.

Until we rightly identify our cultures and our ways and make a stand to preserve them, we would always be lost in the vacuum of other people's culture [/b]

Christianity is not a BRANCH of God. I used FOUNDATION not BRANCH. Poor example.
Here is a better one: A man built his house on a faulty foundation. He expects others to fix it?
I am not saying ONLY evolution should fix it, but I am sure they will also be interested in research in fixing it.

You are forgetting that Christianity is not the only religion that lays claim to a God. . So talk about foundation then we take it all other religions are all foundations of God.

Again still on the same blunder of begging evolution to explain how life began when certainly it doesn't and still will never. . . In science there are different methods for different fields.

Using the house analogy scienficially, Making a foundation. It takes different expertise and method to make a house foundation and to make the walls. One entails digging and other masonry. . .You cannot expect to dig holes by using block and cement...Same way it takes two distinct branch of study to study about ORIGIN OF LIFE and THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIFE (species)

Christianity Etc › Re: Atheists Are Very "Wise" by johnydon22(m): 11:38am On Jul 21, 2015

NumberOne2:
Christianity and the bible are based on God (foundation).
Evolution is base on existence of life already (foundation).

Hmmm,
Excusing Evolutionist from origins of life is like excusing Christians from explaining God.
If someone else has to fix the foundation on which evolution is built, I guess some else (outside believers) should be asked about God.

I think right now you are confusing yourself on scientific subjects.

Relativity is a scientific study and it deals with time, gravity and speed yet these field too are independent scientific subjects.
Evolution is a scientific study on development of life not the origin of it. . No matter how hard you try, you will never get a hypothesis postulated in evolution on how life began because that is not what its all about... The origin of life is very distinct from the development of species (stop confusing both)

Your analogy is like saying, Becauze pythagoras theorem is a branch of mathematical study then it should account for the origin of mathematics.

it's all independent branch of study . . . . . . And please it's embarrassing comparing STUDY with religious beliefs.

You don't even see how absurd you sound when bringing up such childish defence

2. Believe you are forgiven
3. Make your request
4. Believe in good faith that He has answered

He hears the cry of the afflicted if you forsake your old ways.

Ok seriously i have only few concerns here...

Igbos seccession (Good or bad for the igbos)

How is that now giving non-igbos more concern than igbos themselves

Why do non-igbos think about biafra more than igbos

why is biafra like a thorn in the flesh of non-igbos that are supposed not to be concerned

If biafra turns out bad, isn't that supposed to be the problems of biafrans, why are you all worried about it

why are non-igbos worried, afraid and angry that igbos want to seccede

As a matter of fact, if the west or north wanted to seccede, the igbo man would not even be concerned or worried or debate them not to or criticize them.
Because frankly they know how to mind their business and focus on what concerns them......... So why are you guys more concerned about biafra than igbos

p.s: Am not a stark pro biafra but at least i know when people should mind their business

This is not even an issue for debate.
- Just ask 5 or 10 people (irrespective of beliefs) around you if they will want to live forever.
- Ask them if it were possible what they will do with all that time.
- Ask ladies why they spend on/apply make up to look younger.
The come back and post the result of the polls.

Hahahahahahaha we are not debating at all, you should know when am debating and when am not, we are just sharing a friendly discourse.
yes life is precious because we are well are aware that we will die... Death gives value to life... Life and death are negates and depend on each other for meaning because something that is not alive don't die

We all know why we create this fantasie for ourselves because of the innate greed to live on, because many of us couldn't juts bear that when we die that is it.
That most people around you believe and greedily clamor for another life doesn't make it true.

We should judge our progress by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers.

Refering to the BOLDED. I don't know what you think Christianity is but my life isn't a boring one. I love cars, sports, cinemas, riding horses and general hanging out. These are fun and aren't sins.

PS: Most times what folks call fun is SEX (women), DRINKING (alcohol) and FOUL LANGUAGE (freedom of speech). If these were so much fun, I wonder why people still commit suicide.

Hahahahaha ok now compare this margin. . (let me assume men lived up to 1,000 years.

Now a 10 year old thinking what he would be doing for 1000years.
Krattos thinking what he will be doing for 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.....………………………………………………………… keep counting til infinitum.. (Tho mathematically, there is no infinitum)

so now compare the gap between the 10year old and 1000years and kratto and his infinite number of years in paradise..

and u knw what?

The inventors of these ishs didnt provide a formidable answers for most of these questions or were they thinking our mind wouldnt go as far as we re to question these things

The very first concept of afterlife and judgement. .(atleast among the ones we know documented) was invented by the Egyptians.

THE TRIBUNAL OF OSIRIS. . Thats one of the main reasons they built mastabas and pyramids and embalmed their dead because they believed the physical condition of the
body will help the spirit pass the test of Osiris. . .

Here is the hierioglyphic describing the judgement. . The God Anubis leading the soul to the hall of the Gods, Horus is seen standing in front of Osiris who is seated and the Goddess Isis standing beside him.

I guess some people find comfort in the notion of passing away instead of simply dying.
Its not difficult to understand why we create these stories of living again after we die for ourselves, given that we almost certainly/probably are the only species on the planet who knows from a very young age that we shall die one day.

Other creatures just live in the moment. I doubt that the goats and dogs outside are fretting about afterlife or performing rituals and prayers or conjuring up beliefs to secure their place in heaven.

But our knowledge of the inevitable end of our being in somewhat of a burden.

So maybe we should stop dwelling in such fantasies as afterlife and focus more on what we have now and where we are

Evolution is based on existence of life which it cannot explain its origins. Let me know when it does.

Good

Actually waiting on evolution to tell you the origin of life is a total waste of time, evolution is a branch of study on the development in features and characteristics of organisms not their origin. . If you want scientific hypothesis on the origin of organisms then look into other scientific studies on the origin of life like abiogenesis and others . . you will never find it in the evolutionary theory because thats not what evolution is about

Organic matter in this case, lets quote with clarity. am only trying to make you stop the misconceptions.

The truth is those other pics are the kind of stuff Evolutionist want us to believe. (Grasshoppers from Fish, Cats from Sharks). Oh please!
Tell a 5 year old.

Really the pictures are a very wrong form of misconception. . It in fact is exactly the opposite of evolutionary trend judging from what i have read.

Cats (falidea) never evolved from a fish, According to evolution it all branched off from one common ancestor. Modern felidaes evolving from an ancient caber tooth cat-like creatures. . .Seriously, the pictures are giving you a very wrong idea of what the study entails and i suggest you read it instead of viewing the Memes.

I think the memes are sorely wrong and in no way mocks the subject rather mocks the meme maker because he just showed he never read evolution.

I am only of the opinion that subjects should be presented as they really are and not wrongly misrepresented to down play it

Quite the contrary, there are tons of evidences and fossil records that support evolution. . . Evolution is in no way a dumb theory.

I do not subscribe to any theory on the origin of life because "None have been perfected" Once any branch of study is perfected with evidences and proofs as regard the origin of anything then i will subscribe to it, evolution is still under heavy STUDY.... So i maintain "I don't know" because I don't for real and cannot claim to.

I only commented because of the Straw Man fallacies you employ often in this regard. . I don't know if you purposely do it but you just misrepresent and lay a very blatant misconception of the subject so as to drag it down the level you want. At least when you want to argue on a subject, argue on it based on exactly what the subject says, don't misrepresent it.

Other than that, i see no reason to comment
