And how does religion factor into the man kissing his fellow man discussion?
Or did you see were i used religion as a threshold in my post?

If i may indulge you, what's religion & what's culture?

So from your analysis, having a religion has eroded my culture & as such, i shouldn't have culture cause i have religion?

So, religion and culture can't exist pari passu?

Religion has eroded Nigerian cultures. I assume that you are igbo from your posts and your name.

Part of my family is igbo.

First, why are igbo people now bearing Jewish names as last names? Igbo names used to have meanings. You know what it means to call a girl Nneka. Or to call someone "Agu"...a brave lion. Now igbo people have names like Goodluck Jonathan. Reginald James, Hezekiah Emmanuel.


Then, there are the igbo Jewa that claim to be the lost tribe of isreal. These people have been rejected by scholars and Israeli government. But still they follow Judaism. A religion that empowers Jews over others as Jewish people.



Where are the shrines of your forefathers? Where are the sculptures of their gods. Broken and buried by Jewish slaves called Nigerian Christians. Kindly go to india, japan and South Korea. Despite foreign influence and growing christianity, they keep their Buddhist, hindu and shinto shrines of their forefathers.


Furthermore, homosexuality has never been an issue in Nigerian cultures. It was ignored. If you dont believe me, kindly tell me the punishment for homosexuality in your igbo culture if it were criminalised

DandeNummeruno:


Nigga, You don't have to disparage Nigerian Christians to come to a meaningful conclusion. Your foolish petulance has rendered your post null and void.

whitelotus:




How does one point out problems in christianity without criticising Christians?

DandeNummeruno:


There are ways you can make salient points without mocking the convictions of the other individual. Believe it or not, Christianity is a lifestyle to certain individuals. Calling them Jewish slaves is nothing short of immature.

Immature?

A black Nigerian man choosing to accept that he is inferior because God has chosen Jews as his chosen people is very mature.

The truth is bitter. Every single Nigerian Christian is a Jewish slave. A willing participant in colonial brainwashing

You've just awoken some deep memories within me. I watched this movie circa 2005 and loved it to bits back then. Used to vibe to Hardball by Lil Bow Wow Ft. Lil Wayne, Lil Zane and Sammie which was its OST.

Hard to dive deep into my music archive in my HDD to fish out the song and blast it in my room tonight. Good memories. When "you know who" (let me not mention name to avoid spoiling it) died towards the end, I cried silently back then. It really touched me.

Damn, I love this movie. For old times sake, I'll look for it and download it again. Don't care about its low rating.

DandeNummeruno:


You traded your genealogical convictions for an imported religion, did you not? Perhaps I'm terrible in history, yet I don't recall Christianity being a piece of our way of life preceding the coming of White Missionaries to our shores.

Do you basically choose the philosophies that suit you, and disregard the ones that don't?

DandeNummeruno:



You strike me as somebody that misguidedly, but genuinely believe that insulting Christians makes him a cool atheist.

Nigga, I got news for ya; atheism isn't hostile to religion, it just doesn't follow one. Given how little you know about atheism, I accept that you're a faker, or a fraud.

The mere notion might be strange to you, but it's conceivable to not believe something without abhorring it, kapish?

whitelotus:


Atheism is simply a logical position on the existence of God.

Atheism does not tell you anything about somebody. An atheist can be a Buddhist, a satanist a humanist, a sexist, a thief or a president.

I am a humanist.

Despite what you think, I am for freedom of religion. Everybody has the right to religion. However, in an open forum, one does not have the right to ot be offended. Every idea or religion can be criticized.

Dont expect me to respect your theology by force. I will speak the truth about your religion

isn't it evident that that's what we all did/do. Environment differs, what works there might be flawed if practiced here.

Well Disney and Marvel are geared towards bringing the first Lgbtqia character on screen in the MCU upcoming movies.


Get ready to rumble!!!

So many homophobic people in nigeria...y'all having sleepless night because one man decides to kiss another man. While getting paid. Shame. Hollywood keep breaking boundaries that why y'all flock to them and watch their movies, if you don't like you can always watch jenifa's dairy.

abduleez1:


Well, seems you've offended the gods of the thread.

Ask others I don't know much about such shit_ I only started being consistently active on NL last year.

In my experience just log out your account and serve the ban till it expires, then avoid commenting for like 3 days after the ban expires. Maybe you will be let go, and stop cancelling posts, and overusing that angry face emoji.

oyaskii:
From my observation about your stance on religion (today in particular) you are always taking a demeaning approach to Christianity which will offend Christians whether in a faceless forum or not...just check your post on this topic they are laced more with insult rather than anything that could be considered a rational thought...

You can actually speak the truth (or your truth as the case maybe) without demeaning and absolutely no one will "force you to accept their theology" in a faceless forum.

And Ps False Atheist/Humanist as so so obsessed with Christians and thier God..so much time spent on something you supposedly don't believe in.

You're lost, nigga.

Eeya sorry.

Hahahahaha... nwanne nwoke, culture encompasses more than just names. Culture and Tradition includes our way of life as a people. Culture encompasses our food, dressing, language etc.

Name....the name you're hinting about, it's just 5% of Igbos who change their names totally to Jewish names. I don't have a English name & none of siblings has one, and none of my kids would have one. My cousins who were all born oversees have atleast 2 Igbo names, surname included. We even go as far as having a sort of title name amongst our peers. Names like Omeoka, Nwa bu nna ya, Nne nyelu ugo, Nwa afo awka, okwu lu ora. So name doesn't really stand here.



Thanks for using the word tribe. A tribe is basically a social group comprising numerous families, clans, or generations
together. Amongst the Igbos as a people, we have many tribes, so why judge a race of people based on the disposition of a selected few.




Shrine's you say?... Where are you from? When last did you visit your home town?
Shrines still exists very much & is still a thing down here. JBL, it's now very much evident that you rarely visit your home town. Ok let me share this personal experience. Of recent, we had a land dispute problem, guess how we settled it, a shrine.. yup a shrine, the efficacy of shrines in judgements is next to none. So that part of culture wasn't eroded.


In Igbo land, there's simply a kinda of homosexuality, a sort of marriage though, deemed ok.
Man on man, woman on woman, is a taboo you dare not think of, speak of or worse practice, in the old days, it was punishable by death or banishment ( ask dem old folks around you)
In Igbo land, a woman can marry a fellow woman, not for sex but for procreation. A woman whose only son & child died, without marrying or giving birth can marry another woman who'd bare her children. Also, a woman whose husband died without em' bearing a male child can also do the above, so the family name doesn't die.

6. Homophobia does not help the society in the long run. You lose a very artistic part of the workforce when you discriminate. See Elton John, Tessa Thompson (Thor's black female friend), Asia Kate Dillon, Queen etc.

is this a joke or what?

Beorn:


That's my problem with most atheists. They are hostile towards people's beliefs. I've only met one atheist offline who doesn't feel the need to disparage or demean thr religions of others to prove he's an atheist.

For me, as long as a religion is not harmful or causes bodily harm towards any human, people should believe or choose not to believe in what they want.
