PAGAN9JA:

Let me tell something:

Religion is nothing but a war of cultural identity and superiority.
And Africa lost.

The Indians and the Chinese held their gates.
They rejected every aspect of colonialism that sought to tarnish and belittle their cultural heritage.
That's why they stand proud today.
That's why you'll never find such scenes in their movies.

Doctufos: Otem Erectus 161:7-8

7. And they mentioned the names of foreign gods as their own gods. And the names of foreign ancestors did they mention as their own ancestors.
8. And itopa cried out, saying, this is abomination! Where have you heard all these things? And some took sharp objects to stab him because they said that he had blasphemed the foreign god whom they worship.

I copied this from a friend's wall on facebook. It's pertinent so I'll drop it here

Once upon a time, our ancestors in Nigeria weren't muslims or christians ,they were proud animists and the Abrahimic concept and idea of God was all too alien to their culture. Back then our ancestors had their various beliefs and religions.

Then the white colonizers and slave traders together with the Fulani jihadist from the north led by Uthman Dan Fodio came and robbed them off, of most of their culture and beliefs and their names and imposed Islam on them in the north while the Europeans did same to those in the south. Ever since then the hausa people have been desperately trying so hard to become Arabs, whom they view as the master race and superior while the Christians have been trying so hard to become spiritual Jews. After all they are all worshipping the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. Jews that have nothing to do with them at all.

But then some Hausa muslim fools or christains fools on facebook suffering from cognitive dissonance,indoctrination and slave mentality accuse me of dumping my ancestral culture and the religion of my forefathers for "western influenced atheism" and westernization, I sincerely wanted to ask them what they meant by "western influenced atheism" but I know my people,some are so ignorant that they can't even distinguish between myths,conspiracy theories,fiction , reality and facts. So I spared myself the trouble of having to listen to their foolish answers.

If we're all to go back to our roots, my friends, our roots are not Islamic or christian, our ancestors were animists,they didnt worship a foreign Allah or Yahweh ,it took more than a millenium for the mohammedan religion to come in contact with them and far more years for the Christain religion of the Roman empire to get to them, so are you implying that your forefathers were bloody uncivilized sub-human savages because they weren’t muslims or christians ?

What we call our religion is not really ours to begin with,the names we bear are mostly Arabic/ Roman names ,we adhere to an Arab/ Jewish religion, we pray to an Arab/Jewish God, the muslims even pary to their God in his native Arabic,all the festivities Nigerian muslims celebrate are Arab/islamic festivities,they believe Arabic is more superior to their native Hausa. Christians believe having what they call christian names are better than their tribal names .What exactly do you call that? Isn't that slave mentality of the highest order? Discarding your culture for that of your invaders and colonizers. Most of us are all suffering from stockholm syndrome without even realising.

So please before you accuse us atheist of leaving our culture and our ancestral religion for "western influenced atheism" (whatever the hell that means), I ask you this,is Islam a hausa religion? Is christianity an Igbo religion? Did Islam originate from the Hausa people? Was prophet Mohammad a Hausa man? What about Jesus did he originate from Imo or Bayelsa? Its a huge shame that we don't even know your own history and the history of the invaders that brought their religions to us.

We both suffer from the samething you accuse me of. Our only difference is choice. Most of you are muslims or christians because you were born into it,Islamic/Arab and Jewish culture and beliefs was shoved down the throats of your ancestors through bloody Jihads, slavery and conquet and they shoved it down yiur parents who shoved it down to you without any choice . Some of you all have had doubts but you're too scared to admit them or to question your religion. Stop deceiving yourselves you are not Christians or Muslims by choice. Speak for yourselves,you've discarded you culture for that of a foreign one and you're so far gone in your ignorance to even realise it.

Stop telling me that i bring shame to my society. I get to be the one who's ashamed of my society. Bunch of Arab and Jewish wannabes.

I really Luke this your write up......my question is......why are you an atheists? It is strange to Africa....

dalaman:


I don't care if atheism is strange to anybody. If am to be religious I'll practice an African traditional religion. I don't know why we are practicing the religions of the invaders and slave traders. It doesn't make any sense at all.

vaxx:
you are making a lot of sense here...... So why that you go back to the religion of your race.....

dalaman:


I could even practice a religion of my people that I find facinating. Many whites practice christianity and Judaism as a cultural heritage. They don't believe in it but just accept it as their cultural heritage.

I can practice a traditional African religion as a cultural heritage if I see one that facinates me, unfortunately there is non that facinates me. Non is reformed and they dwell too much on mythology and fiction.

Who ask you?

Though l will still blame those adherents of religion believe to the rise in atheism and agnosticism because of....

1. Ignorance
2. Following the wrong path
3. Confusion
4. Our LORD is no longer the way,truth and life but the Speaker
5. Twisting of the Scripture
6. False prophet
7. Expectations
8. E. T. C

I love U all,atheist let me understand your path

Is it that you guys don't approve anything religion or is there something l am missing.
