Let's Talk: Beating Of Witches/wizards And Burning Their Shrines by Lizlee: 5:09pm On Oct 16, 2021
So I just watched a heartbreaking video of an old woman who was accused of being a witch, getting beaten. The people set her shrine on fire and all her artifacts and idols were burnt. This is oppression. This is unfair. Why can't the woman worship her god in peace? Do you support burning of shrines?

These people who do these things are hooligans, criminals who carry out their craft under the guise of religion. undecided

Nigeria needs people to stand up for the rights of their fellow man and see to it that such hoodlums are not only punished but made examples of. undecided

When you threaten the lives and well being of people harm fully, they have a right to destroy the threat.

By whose authority? undecided

God never instructed anyone to do such in His Name? Neither did Jesus Christ command you or anyone who believes in Him to engage in such activities in His name? So, when you set yourself up as judge and executioner against a one who does not believe in Jesus Christ, by whose authority do you do so? undecided

The problem is that Nigerians and their police no no way stil. If not, all those who believe such nonsense ought to be locked up in a dungeon somewhere and the keys thrown in to the sea. undecided

Ok, so you support the burning of shrines, but not the burning of churches.

By the way, who judged them and asserted that they were a threat to lives?

Just because your religion calls them a threat, doesn't mean they are a threat.

If a Muslim burns a church and says that Allah supports him. You will pick up arms and scream that you are being persecuted.

That you are Christian doesn't mean you should stop others from practicing their religion and burning their shrines. Because if it is done to you, you won't like it, so why do you think it's right to do it to someone else?

But you are not Moses neither are you an Israelite, neither are these witches canaanites. You claim to be a Christian, and God never called anyone of us to the destroying of idols in His name. Neither did Jesus Christ ask you or anyone to carry out these acts you claim in His name. Jesus Christ was born and grew up in the land, and not once did He attack any witches or burn there idols. And there were lots of them when Jesus Christ walked the land. undecided

So by whose authority do you perpetrate these evils against your fellow men ? And what sense do you claim to have? undecided

If you suspect there's evidence of human sacrifices, then report them to the right authorities, not take it upon yourself to inflict judgement where not authority has been given you either by man or God. undecided

I never said I was a Christian. Neither did I ask you for any authority . My stance is just simple: anyone found performing rituals that require human sacrifices should be killed promptly. Simple

Which one is change of post? The people you call witches fall under traditional worshippers.

That your religion calls an object like idols , "harmful", doesn't mean you have the right to burn it.

So you are not even a Christian but you were quick to claim the commanded that God specifically gave Moses over the canaanites as a mandate, proving my earlier point that those who engage in these vile acts are nothing but criminals hiding behind religion. undecided

Killed promptly by whose authority? Yours or the Laws? I know that the law even in Nigeria does not allow for such killings meaning those of you who carry out these killings are nothing but murderers yourselves. undecided

Bros , I'm an advocate of jungle justice , especially when it comes to crimes being perpetuated in Nigeria . And why do I do this? The reason is simple: Nigeria government supports crooks and ritualist. Thus increasing the number of killers in society. So what I'm just doing is reducing the numbers and getting justice for myself and those who can't get justice cool

Ok undecided

So the reason you commit violence and murder against members of your community is because Nigerian government supports other crooks and ritualists, instead of serial killers such as yourself? undecided

Because Government is bad, you deduce that your idea of jungle justice makes sense and you do it for society. You are very brilliant! undecided
