EnlightenedSoul: I'm familiar with forums because I lurk around and read things before I sign up, Ahh, I see, you read the argument with Terry Carr, Did you note the fact that I apologised on the another thread (the bantu one) thread later? Did you also note the fact that I assumed he was Bantu because he was frequently on the Bantu Thread, and he made a thread saying somalis were slaves? And I'm not axum so the bits in Italics, you might want to adrress with him |

EnlightenedSoul: and @ artank, it looks like we were both right, Maakhir is a state in Somalia www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/so-maak.html http://somalitalk.com/2007/aug/09aug057.html www.maakhirnews.com/ Just like Banaadir and the others. When I signed up with the username Maakhir my intention wasn't to name myself after a kingdom, but I heard of the state and I thought as a username it was pretty cool abaayo, with all due respect I reckon your a bit paranoid |

macof: I agree with the importance of taking pride in the knowledge of our history and heritage, but I don't think literally following the ways of our ancestors is necessary. Do I think I need to start worshipping Waaq? No, I don't. So If I from Djibouti start to worship Waaq, and you from Nigeria worship Sango(?), isn't that just as much religious and ethnic diversity as we began with? It's high time Africans start thinking beyond ethnicity, and religion. Especially religion. It isn't working. We need development and innovation. We need science. 1 Like |

EnlightenedSoul: No you don't need to worship Waaq, but an African certainly don't need Allah when you have a better, African option. You see if you weren't a novice on Traditional systems you would know that pagans are identified only by ethnicity and nothing else. language nd culture makes the ethnicity, we all have the same spirituality coded in different myths. i can worship Sango in my home country and go to Benin/Togo and worship him with the Fon and Aja in a Xevioso temple, I can go as far as Germany and worship him as Thor. I agree we should think past religion,.because it doesn't benefit us, our African ancestors were nt religious, they were cultural...our spiritual beliefs are reflected in our culture and traditions. In my native language Yoruba we didn't even have a word for religion until Islam converts. Religion is a foreign concept to us we need science Yes!...but scientific knowledge from the West, Arabs or Within Africa? Cus if you reject our ancestors knowledge how can we develop scientifically when we are only following the West and Arabs while ignoring the beautiful knowledge in our fast dying heritage? You think African ancestors were idiots who didn't have scientific knowledge? 3 Likes |

Re: Somali Religion & Mythology by Nobody: 2:44am On Jan 20, 2015 |
macof: I see what you're trying to say, but that's relative. Typically, the 'better' option for anyone is the religion they were raised on - the one they're familiar with and already know. Even though I'm irreligious, I was raised on Allah and my parents worship Allah, and in that sense I have to respect that. Waaq, on the other hand, was abandoned en masse by long gone ancestors completely by choice for whatever reason. There's an obvious disconnect there. I don't feel any particular pull towards the religion (or any other for that matter), and as such it assumes the position of all the other thousands of unfamiliar religions out there. You see if you weren't a novice on Traditional systems you would know that pagans are identified only by ethnicity and nothing else. language nd culture makes the ethnicity, we all have the same spirituality coded in different myths. i can worship Sango in my home country and go to Benin/Togo and worship him with the Fon and Aja in a Xevioso temple, I can go as far as Germany and worship him as Thor. Indeed, I did not know this. That's intriguing. Flexible. Can you go as far as a worshipping him as Allah, or Jesus? I agree we should think past religion,.because it doesn't benefit us, our African ancestors were nt religious, they were cultural...our spiritual beliefs are reflected in our culture and traditions. In my native language Yoruba we didn't even have a word for religion until Islam converts. Religion is a foreign concept to us Alright. Agree. we need science Yes!...but scientific knowledge from the West, Arabs or Within Africa? Cus if you reject our ancestors knowledge how can we develop scientifically when we are only following the West and Arabs while ignoring the beautiful knowledge in our fast dying heritage? You think African ancestors were idiots who didn't have scientific knowledge? Science doesn't discriminate. It belongs to whoever builds upon it. The same scientific principles that govern the 'West', Asia, and the Arab world, also govern Africa - we're on the same planet after all. As stated in the previous post, I do believe in holding on to our heritage and ancestral knowledge as well. I'm not sure I completely follow you? Care to expand? |

Re: Somali Religion & Mythology by macof(m): 11:55am On Jan 20, 2015 |
EnlightenedSoul:I disagree. I was raised in a religion too, but now I realize, am better off away from that religion. It all boils down to knowledge and reality of mind. so what stops an African from knowing his ethnic beliefs? No Exactly my point so why don't we look to Africa for scientific knowledge? Why the West all the time? African education has a lot to offer the world of science but when the Africans aren't interested how can the world be? 2 Likes |
Re: Somali Religion & Mythology by Nobody: 2:48am On Jan 21, 2015 |
macof: Merely knowing they're my "ethnic beliefs" isn't enough to get me to actively start believing/practicing. It isn't enough. I, nonetheless, commend you for finding your way. No So it only works on polytheistic gods? I thought it was all about spirituality. Exactly my point so why don't we look to Africa for scientific knowledge? Why the West all the time? African education has a lot to offer the world of science but when the Africans aren't interested how can the world be? Can you elaborate on the bolded? Thanks. |
