Thought Provoking Analysis On Non Traditional Religion by Nobody: 11:29am On Jul 21, 2015
Hello everyone, Whilst recovering from a hangover I decided to scroll through Facebook and found this interesting piece by Chukwuka Igbomor.


-Thanks for this great documentary Nigeria used to be a great nation with its different regions until the Europeans came and robbed us naked they used RELIGION to kill our spirituality by giving us a fasle white god called jesus and they used politics to posses our teritory, and today Nigeria is like a nonetity of a nation.

While they use bad leaders who are sellouts and traitors to steal our resources and put us in darkness so that we will forever be dependent on them and their false teachings and ideologies... we Africans are so used to folding our hands and looking while our heads are beign cut off. most of us are content with foolishness, a lot of weak and ignorant minds who prefer to live in slavery than to die for freedom, we need brave hearts to stand up against foolishness and speak against this evil that is beign perpetuated in our own soil. We need to curb out this mentality of suffer suffer for world to enjoy for imaginery heaven. Our people accept suffering on earth thinking they will enjoy in heaven. Also we need to curb out this turn the other cheek mentality. Which Europeans used to rob us naked. We need to push out the evil African leaders who are in position of power only to sell us out to foreigners for their own selfish individual gains.

It can only be done by Us Africans standing up for the truth and against bad leadership and oppression. Education is the key to unlocking the doors to greatness like we once was the greatest nation on the planet now we are beign reduced to foolish people who sit and look while everything around us is in disarray. Our people have lost the ability to think critically for when u can believe snake spoke to eve and gave her apple to eat and give adam, once you can believe this fable as truth u can never be able to think critically and reasonably. They use such stories to see how gullible we can be so when they do their evil deeds we cant even reason to see its wrong.

When we are still calling Abraham, isaac and jacob our ancestors how can we have sense.
The problem with the African people who refuse to see reality of their situation cos their brains have been conditioned to accept suffering as normal, evil as normal and thus the Evil men of the world are having a laugh feeding on the ignorance of our people.-

Generally speaking,believe in what ever you want to believe in,just make sure you do good deeds and speak good whilst still here on earth,rather than use your mouth to say evil and also act evil,then be caught unaware when you die...


On a lighter note,guru maharaji is suggesting our politicians to use traditional means to take oath when they are being sworn in,instead of the bible or Qur'an being used... grin

I honestly think that when an African practices his own religion, it gives him a sense of superiority and power and also moral fear. This does not mean that the traditional religion itself is perfect or closed to evolution.

Haha I support guru maharaji.

[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

When a religious person is attacked with logic, even if you possess the persuasiveness of a serpent, he feels affronted. An affront to his God, an affront to his intelligence and an affront to his person.

Typical Example!

Aren't you contradicting yourself here?......If people believe in whatever they want how can they recognise objectively good deeds?.....If the action is done or justified by a belief in a reward and/or punishment scheme(like heaven/hell/re-incarnation/karma,etc) instead of because it's the right thing to do what happens when the rewards are promised for wicked or evil acts like boko haram and ISIS are doing? undecided

This is the part I find so pathetic!

On a lighter note, please encourage any religious 'suffer-head' you know to avail themselves of some earthly pleasures, lest they suffer a massive shock from an unaccustomed luxury in heaven. grin grin grin

[size=14pt]African gods are nothing but idols made with the hands of men as the bible puts it.[/size]



This is how your african gods are made .


Isaiah 44: (KJV)

12 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.

13 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.

14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.

15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.

16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:

17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.

18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.


As you can see your African idol is man made and cannot save.

Neither can allah save anybody, as allah cannot save even mohammed.

MUSLIMS ARE NOT PROMISED HEAVEN

EVEN MOHAMMED HAS NO PROMISE OF HEAVEN



Sura 46:9
"I am not something original among the messengers, NOR DO I KNOW WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH ME OR WITH YOU(MUSLIMS). I only follow that which is revealed to me, and I am not but a clear warner."


JESUS SAVES


John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 HE THAT BELIEVETH ON HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED: BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, BECAUSE HE HATH NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD.

That writer is the most confused human being on earth
- You claim white people made us senseless yet you praise education for making u brave, now who brought that education
- You said they took away our precious religion, You mean the blood sucking deity that takes pleasure in the bloods of virgins, twins , albino and stuffs yet it was these white people that made your grand fathers to stop doing those nonsense
- You claimed they brought some fake gods, I would rather worship a fake god that prevents me from killing my neighbour or sleeping with his wife than worship the one that lets me kill me neighbour in cold blood and even snatches his wife if i feel like

These so called bad people that brought white Jesus or stuff, you didnt reject their education, you loved it you even learn how to write in their language, they even thought you to think for yourself and be analytical that was why you could even have the brain to open this post in the first place,

The reasons why Africans would never grow is because they always think the whites are their problem, you can imagine? but it is still this people that comes to your rescue when you are in trouble. Africans are messed up

Non-traditional gods are the same...the difference is that they were crafted to paralyze analytical thinking...once you believe a man walked on water just because a book said so,then you're the definition of gullibility..

i think the writer is the one who does not reason. Thank God he is educated, i supposed. The Christian God as being used by him is the God who loves us. Traditional religion is evil, its tenets are not in conformity with Christianity. i think he is the one to think deeply to know which one is confusing and convincing. I cant imagine in all honesty that someone at this age and time debunk or speak ill of Christianity.
