If God (s) Or Juju Really Existed How Come Africans Were Easily Colonized??? by K9blunt(f): 1:11pm On Jul 29, 2016
Based on the arguments of theist (most especially. Kingebukasblog and winner 10)


I don't get why the juju that exists then and till now were not able to stop the britons from colonizing us back then.


If it's your almighty God why didn't he stop the mass killings done to Christians by Constantine.

Same with Queen Mary Tudor known as 'bloody mary' back then killing people that broke out of the Catholic Church...


Isn't it all fallacy or does your God like like horror movies? undecided

No, I simply answered your question now. You asked how come Africans were easily colonized despite a level of their sorcery? And I answered that having power doesn't necessarily mean you possess the wisdom to defeat your enemy. The white men came with another kind of wisdom to capture them... It's wisdom that fights wisdom, knowledge that defeats knowledge. When you're enticed with strange beautiful things, most likely you will let down your guard.

The existence of Gods or potency of juju is not negated by the colonialism in Africa... That africans were colonized doesn't mean juju or gods are not existential values.

It was more so a technological intimidation, psychological intimidation and even physical abuse and coercion.

This is a logical fallacy called reductio ad absurdum , you claim the supernatural cannot exist because of your absurd or false results following its denial .

So Because God allowed men their freewill and men decided to become a god for themselves, therefore God does not exist. undecided

This answer (which is not so much close) is called ad hominem fallacy.

And that's what the logical fallacy - reductio ad absurdum - you made is about . Its a logical fallacy - this means that you are going to end up making an invalid illation and you rightly did that .

Your false or absurd results are

1. The colonization of Africans

2. And the mass killing of Christians by Constantine

All you are trying to say is that if the supernatural does exist , these wouldn't have happened . And its an illogical conclusion . The colonization of Africans and the mass killing of Christians do not preclude the existence of the supernatural .

OH, maybe I am not getting or putting this coherently,

Most theist believe that there are other deities but God is the only supreme, thereby not dismissing the other gods/deities. While some others worship them still.

So I am simply asking them that why didn't their gods or so simply stop the colonizations by the whites.


And when I say theist, I meant not only Christians but Muslims and pagans as well.

My questions went to theist (yes I mentioned you and your other buddy)

Yes before the advent of Christianity in Africa, we were busy worshiping obatala and chi. Which then we claimed were the almighty yet we were easily defeated, until Africans accepted the colonialism belief, hence Christianity.



You believers in the supernatural gods believe in your supreme being in delivering you from evil, yet many leaders of nations killed believers in billions, why couldn't your God stop that?

And if you read through the open I not only said colonialism, but. About Constantine and Mary Tudor?
