*Kails*:
They used Yoruba saints because the Yoruba were among some the the last in many countries to arrive thus left their imprint however, voodoo and african witch craft was always celebrated in the west after slavery. its roots are all over africa.

Right.
I do not think that the case of "saints" Yoruba, but of Òrìsá.
But I agree with you, that many African cultures that were brought to America earlier (Angola, Congo, Mozambique, Fanti, Ashanti, etc.) Were overshadowed when the Yoruba came at the end of the slave period.

Some Christians want to promote both their faith, they fall into the ridiculous, and they even Onden his own god.

Baptism is the act of condemning a defenseless creature (usually a child), to load all his life with a decision that is not theirs.
Do not confuse the act of circumcision (Abraham) with bautism.
Circumcision is restricted to Jews.
Baptism existed in times of Jesus (John the Baptist) and was later adopted by the Catholic Church.
Pentecostals reflect this cult of Catholicism (like many others).
Many Pentecostal churches perform baptisms in swimming pools, but the only valid baptism
is in river water or sea.
My respects

I guess in Nigeria to import religions, not required import rate.

You lack something more original to post?

My greetings to his father, Mr. Olaadegbu.
You are a child of Olaa, right?

There can be no hierarchies, in a place that does not exist.
my respects

Also this German Pastor is furious with Obama ...

Why be a Pastor can be adulterer and a gay can not marry?
Well ... You did not answer any question ... It just political propaganda religion forum ...
Olaa .... remember my prophecy:
1. Guantanamo
2. Deportation to Nigeria.
I wanted to help.

Lol...

The world is full of people who say they are blessed by God ...
Beware of them.

BROTHERHOOD?
Mhhhh
O.O.O.? or K.K.K.?

And .. Satan has been saved!

You are somewhat aggressive Olaa ....
That's not your style.
Christians are to love your neighbor, turning the other cheek, and give love ..
Your you are becoming a Mormon? LOL

One question:
Noah was so foolish as to put a couple of snakes in the ark?
If so, besides Noah adulterer was silly ...
You are about to answer Olaa?

And please, calm down ... It's no good Christian assaulting ...
Peace be with you ...

Noah was sighted

OLAADEGBU: All you need to do is to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour and then your spot on the Ark is booked. As for the children haven't you heard that out of the mouths of babes praise is perfected? If adults think that they have become too wise to serve God children will take the lead in worship and praise.

1. I would not go into the ark with Noah. Noah was an adulterer like David and Abraham. I am not an adulterer.

2. Using children for political or religious propaganda is banned, is a crime. Do not do more. Children can pray, but can not be used in advertising. You are using the image of a child, you do not know that kid. You changed the meaning of photography.
Olaa, your bigotry is taking you the wrong port.
You will be confined in Guantanamo and then deported naked to Africa ...
You should pray and repent.

The pastor is angry.
If the man had shown the new car, the pastor had called for a tenth of the car ...
For that reason is that the pastor is not to pray.

wiegraf: You learn something new every day. Yes, there were very few blacks then. Very, very, very few..
I didn't realize paraguay was big enough to hold off brazil, but it managed against 3? I should read u on that region

Historically, Argentina society has been very racist and classist.

No, obviously Paraguay could not ... Argentina and Brazil alone, any of them, would have beaten the Paraguayans. It was a political war in which the Paraguayans were massacred.
It is part of the dark history of Latin America ...
I feel ashamed as a Uruguayan.

OLAADEGBU: Before he deports me I would have gone in the first phase of the Second coming of Christ.

Olaa ...
I really am very sad, but not being deported Christ comes ...
Olaa Worst of all is that you will be deported, but first visit Guantanamo for a few months ...
Olaa: reconsider your attitude ... you'll end this story selling yams in Abeokuta market

Ah... ...
Using children in political or religious propaganda is crime ...
pfffff

wiegraf: That could happen in 9ja. The sun would have died out by then, taking this planet with it, but 9ja could exist on a spaceship or another planet. Maybe then our people could learn to separate government from religion.


Heh heh we were considered exotic, my hair puzzling. Women constantly feeling my hair...

Warm regards

In most of South America, governments are Catholic.
Uruguay is an exception, and I think it is the best option.
It must be very sad that a State is accountable to the Vatican or the shepherds ...
There is a big difference between a state and a secular atheist ...
Uruguay is a secular country.

Between 1865 and 1870 he produced the "War of Paraguay" or "War of the Triple Alliance." Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay fought against Paraguay, in unequal fight. In that war, the Argentine army sent blacks in front, serving a dual function:
a) care for the Argentines
b) get rid of the black, because Argentina has always been a racist country.
A hug!

obadiah777: BETTER TO GET KILLED BY BRAINWASHED CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS THAN BY 1000000 DEGREE CENTIGRADE NUKES. ITS THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS IF YOU ASK ME.

My friend
Here is a very clear conclusion ... that should make you proud.

While religious fanatics threaten to wars and massacres, while Christians and Muslims yearn for war and destruction, people like Mujica (atheist, right?) After 12 years of being buried him in a well, becomes President, donates his salary and governs his people without hatred or rancor ... with love and commitment!
What is the conclusion?
My friend ... I think this has become very clear.
Warm regards!
Y... vamo' arriba la celeste!

Saludos de Mujica para ti !

ijawkid: The war of the great day of Yahweh.....

That War is what will bring about absolute peace...

It won't be fought by humans.....Yahweh and his king designate(Yehshua a.k.a Jesus) will be the ones battling it out.....

World rulers and there governments would be broken and crushed to pieces......

That war would bring lasting benefits to those who had done the will of Jesus's Father,but would Bring annihilation on those who do not Love God......

LOL
Bravo!
That is a religion of LOVE AND PEACE
LOL!

wiegraf: @pot, let me just hammer this in again, Uruguay, you guys elected an atheist... Even in the US of A that is considered impossible atm. There are lots of atheist leaders, but I wouldn't have expected one from your region (I don't know much about the region though, I'm definitely ignorant there, just using the media's portrayal) except for maybe argentina, with its desire to pass itself off as european (I used to live there so very long ago, I can barely remember it though, but excellent memories). You must be mighty proud that your people can put aside petty differences and vote the right man for the job, regardless of personal beliefs (and other inane $hit)

Seriously, 9ja bros, we should be looking to split up, like yesterday...

Thank you dear friend for your comment.
Uruguay is a secular state. All religions are freely practiced. In Uruguay we do not give more importance to the religious beliefs of a President, because the president can not make religious comments.
Argentina and Uruguay are countries with similar customs, but in essence we are very different. I believe (very respectfully) that Argentina has not been able to improve their level of corruption.
Very few blacks living in Argentina, and that is a very sad historical explanation ...
My warmest regards!

Christians and Muslims (especially Christians) render their adoration Satan.
The basis of their belief is in God and Satan, but indirectly perform devil worship.
Traditional religions do not have Satan as a deity, therefore, traditional religions do not practice the politics of fear, the threat of terror ...
For Muslims and Christians, death is associated with dark descriptions of paradise and hell.
Traditional religions have a different concept of death, and the fate of the human essence ...
My respects.

Olaa my friend:
Obama will deport you to Nigeria for what you're saying ...
Romney "the Mormon" if president will deport all undocumented immigrants along ...
Yet you are interested in the politics of the Yankees?

High_Chief: ^^^Si hablo espanol, tu? Es usted un hombre o una mujer?

Un afectuoso saludo para usted, querido amigo!

mbatuku2: Your comment in bold is true. The Ifa religion also played a role in the appeal of Yoruba among these latin americans. They're were lucky to have had slave masters who tolerated african culture and languages.

Mhhh is complex ...
The deal was not just in large plantations and mines, which were concentrated in large numbers of slaves ...
Possibly, in countries like mine (Uruguay) treatment the slave was not so hard ... but that's because there were large concentrations of slaves (Because of the type of tasks).
But I can assure you, that the reason for the survival of the Yoruba language (or other) was not due to the benevolence of the masters, but the tenacity of the slaves. The same happened with religious cults.
The first thing done by the masters, when they got new slaves was:
1. Baptized with a Catholic name
2. Prohibit language and African cults
3. If possible, separate the slaves of the same origin, and ethnic mix with traditionally encountered (to avoid disturbances)
My respects to all

Jesus was a Jew of the Jewish religion (you know that?)
You think Jesus knew Moses? Abraham? David? and all other adulterers?

Jesus never spoke of the Catholic Church. You try to confuse with a phrase. Be honest in the discussion.

The Council of Nicaea in 325, officially accepted the trilogy.
Before that, the Catholic Church did not accept the trilogy.
You read the article, you give reasons, and avoid being in ridícuo.
No rest, educate yourself.

Ancient cultures, based the laws on their religious beliefs.
In turn, the traditions are influenced by religion.
I think we all agree.
But in the case of colonialism, many traditions and religions were banned. It produces great social, cultural, and religious.
They are different situations.
When the British banned the Yoruba cult Somponnó ... obviously there was a break in the religion and traditions.
Also the laws were changed, according to the culture of the colonialists.
It's more ...
For hundreds (or thousands) of years, tradition expressly forbade a woman exercised the charge of Babalawo (Ifa priest), the charge of Iyaonifá not exist. Today, "thanks" to the intervention of W. Abimbola, against all the foundations and traditions, the charge of Iyaonifa is accepted in IFA ...

Religion continues ... but I wonder where were the traditions?
My respects.

Horus: Due to the devastating effects of Colonialism, most African’s both at home, and abroad, today suffer from what could be called a “Biblical Complex”. Which is because Caucasians have succeeded in making most of the world's darker peoples, with Africans in particular, feel inadequate for not being part of the so-called Judo-Christian Biblical ancestry. When in actuality, African’s descend from Cultures which pre-date Judaism, Christianity & Islam by several Millennia. Judaism, Christianity & Islam are all safely in the hands of people who regard Blacks as little more than their inferiors.

If you allow me, dear friend:
The colonialists have moved to the Africans that inferiority ...
Unfortunately, many Africans want to "resemble the colonialists" adopting to their creeds ... and thus, these Africans believe they cease to be "inferior".
A silly argument, that of those Africans. The colonialists never accept Africans as equals.
I am absolutely agree with you.

Jesus before he died begged for his life, and asked his father not to leave him.
My respects.

Well, just a comment to illustrate the figure of Mujica.

Mujica was a revolutionary, he spent 12 years in prison by a military dictatorship. His wife, Lucia Topolansky, also a member of the revolutionary movement.
He was released with the return of democracy in the 80's.
In those 12 years in prison, long time was confined to the bottom of a well.
José Mujica served as Senator, and since 2006 as President of the Republic.
It is astonishing that a man who was in such terrible conditions, he is integrated into society without hatred, and, crucially, without petty ambitions.
I bear witness that says Mac Daddy01, he is an atheist.
My respect and affection to all.

MacDaddy01: Jose Mujica es genial

Jajaja!
En realidad Mujica es un "LOCO LINDO".
One need not be religious to be honest.
Religion has nothing to do with honesty.
Your article is very good, dear friend!
