cloudyskyglind: Were there homosexuals when we were practising traditional religions? Why is it on the rise now? About fela's crave for women, he was still a learner compared to your King Solomon or even David. And lastly, @the bolded: do you know the number of Catholic and Anglican priests practising homosexuality? Do you have a faint idea 5 Likes 3 Shares |

buccunmie: .No Offence Meant Sir,But Did U study ATR at Least In Sec Sch? ATR is a Religion that recognizes Good and Evil. So Please Don't Conclude its On its Own,a devilish Religion. The Difference Is Simply That Jesus Came and Became Our Intersessor and the Link to Our Almighty God which Has Been the Work Of those Smaller Gods. |

iamord:I don't really have an idea regarding the question but to be honest, the little I have known,seen and learnt from my grandfather then made me believe that their gods answered and provided for them during their time. He was a pagan but believe me, I have never seen an upright, honest and man of good morals like him. He said things started falling apart when the chief priests out of their own selfish interest misused the power been given to them and lie to their worshippers just like our pastors do now. 4 Likes 1 Share |

you are making a mistake those days they dont easily have spiritual problems, cos they respect the values of life, and adore the principles of nature..we the so called christians are the ones with numerous and chronic spiritual problems, and it gets worse by the day,due to our very rotten and twisted way of life... 2 Likes |

Some of us Christians are ignorant,they are quick to label Islam as a demonic religion. Today Islamic extremist kill other non-muslims that don't want to take Islam as their religion, in the olden days, Christian crusaders also killed pple and wage war on pple that do not take Christianity as their own religion. Remember Christianity is an older religion to Islam so all wat ISIS, bokoharam and the rest are doing today Christian crusaders did a long time ago. To those calling all African traditionalist evil from the devil are just plain ignorant, Ifa, Orunmila are not evil they just communicate to God differently from the way Christians and Muslim do today. 3 Likes |

It is realy pointless for a christian to argue with a man who claims to have found a higher knowledge than what is laid down in the bible. How do you expect to convince him of an invisible but invincible creator? A whole lot of sinners could use the passion and knowledge you put into the preaching you are giving to these people who turned away from God because they think they know more about him than everyone else. Imagine people wey get supernova-hot hanging ball ontop hear dey blow english trying to prove their is no God. Christians need to apply wisdom more these days. I see more a show of knowledge between these atheists and my christian brothers. Pointless arguments! |

They were not destroying in the name of Gods of Mass Destruction, like we do today. They were not threatening each other's lives, struggling to retain/increase religious membership. There were no sects competing for supremacy There was no need for EFCC People did not conveniently swear by man-made/printed holy books Nobody died to see God 2 Likes |

iamord:I think the reason some people embrace religion is to extend or escape the punishment for their sins and misdeeds because we were told that our God is a merciful God, people now use that as an excuse to commit all kinds of atrocities and confess to pastor later but during the days of our grandfathers, people are being punished for their sins by their gods immediately. If not that some evil people misused the power, I kina prefer our traditional religion. 3 Likes 1 Share |

cloudyskyglind: You are the one being unreasonable by accepting what was told to you by foreigners hook line and sinker and rejected your own. Who told you Africans were uneducated? What gave you the impression that they didn't slow down our development with slave trade rubbish? What gave you the impression I am a christian? A lot of posters before me have pointed out how you guys throw logic and common sense out and come up with lame reasons for claiming Christianity is the best. Do some research and you would have found out in your bible, human sacrifices were made. Is the ultimate sacrifice not crucifixion of Jesus anymore? Is Jesus a plant? Same thing you condemned in other religion is right there in yours but you are too blind to see it or mentally lazy to figure it out. 3 Likes |

[KJV] Daniel 11:32 ...but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. the above quote made no mention of Jehovah, elohim, Zeus, Amon Ra, Ogun, Abasi, Allah, etc, but that knowing your GOD, by whatever name called, you will be strong and do exploits. the Chinese are not a Christian people but they are leaders in technology, they still hold fast unto their traditional religion and beliefs, same with the Indians; they have transformed their knowledge of traditional medicine into modern medical applications. let's not digress too much from the OP 5 Likes |

Rossikk:I do not know if by "Christ" you mean "Jesus" , Certainly there is plenty of evidence that there was a man called Jesus who is the subject of the New Testament and lived shortly before it was written. This whole subject is debated in the so called "HISTORICITY OF JESUS". It is worth studying I say this not to express any opinion on "JESUS" or what he stood for but to say :THERE IS NO EVIDENCE is ridiculous. Evidence does not mean proof but just data that evokes reasonable conviction. Of course one may argue that there is contradictory evidence which is TRUE but a different claim entirely 1 Like |

So christianity's own history is condemnation unto it?...Now thats not a good historical activity indeed... why dont you research more about christianity and how it all came to be on ur own... and also how the emperor constantine and other church fathers compiled the bible at the council of nicea!! 2 Likes |
