A white man is living his heaven on earth and tells blackman to wait to die before going to heaven. We are brainwashed.

I don't understand why this always has to be the game of white man vs black man. It's religion. Colonization and slavery has been an unpopular opinion for a while now, but I don't see Africans leaving the so called white gods

Amujale:


I agree with the spirit of your response, keep hold to our virtuousness it's always been ours in the first instance, and then adopt the African as our God.

For instance, simply by listening to the teachings of our parents/guardian, elders, tutors and well wishers anyone will be able to no the difference between evil and goodness.

For instance, there's god in Agriculture,  Architecture, Arts, Astronomy, Astrology, Commerce, Engineering, Mathematics, Medical sciences, Philosophy, Physical sciences e.t.c

Foreigners came to Africa, found out about our divine principles and called them God.

You, I or anyone else could grow in spirituality or does something so revolutionary that we can become a god.

The African Gods are the only true and proper ones.

Not to be conflated with the Almighty God.

This quick condemnation of everything white inherited from Pan-Africanism is even more detrimental to the human psyche and the well being of all Africans than Abrahamism.

A serious point against religion is dogmatism in the face of reasonability and in this situation, it is exactly what you are showing.

In your opinion, the African gods are the best gods because the foreign gods are rip-offs of the African ones. That's just absolutely bonkers.

To begin with, I'd love to say that I don't believe any type of religion is worth the amount of time people dedicate to it, but different strokes for different folks.

Now, while Abrahamism has a lot of ridiculous values, ATR is even worse with its unbelievable foundations and extremist stance.

Maybe because you are an African, you're conveniently forgetting the fact that many of these religions subscribed and in some places, still subscribe to things such as female genital mutilation, dipping children into concoction, giving sacrifices to the gods and killing twins.

Today, we might have gotten to the point where Abrahamism is no longer well accepted by people of a particular group, but ATR reached that point a long time ago.

So, your opinion that the African gods should be revived in place of the western god is simply clinging to a delusion originating from your extreme fondness for everything African.

While that is irable, it is not very reasonable.

Ausrichie:

Those religions give man a fake sense of morality which is toxic though but at least keeps violence out of society's way, it takes a smart intellectual to understand that morality is something built like man (the sense of good and evil) but many people are not that sophisticated and it will bad if people don't have a sense of morality. Like they say:
Ignorance is bliss.

There is nothing that delights me more than hearing someone speak from the moral supremacist angle of a pseudo intellectual.

Amujale:


The Abrahamic religions are malicious ideologies based on fakery and falsehood.

When its said that Christianity and Islam combine to form the worst ideologies ever to set foot on African soil, such is never meant as a mere opinion but is infact a matter of fact.

It isnt an opinion, the history of how these foreign extremist religions arrived on the continent allows such conclusion.

Perhaps we ought to concentrate our focus on real history opposed to the fakery of the Abrahamic religions.

Its pretty simple, we MUST bin all these foreign extremist religions and focus our concentration on reality, African history.

That's ridiculous. Of course, both Christianity and Islam have its downside but it is nothing short of absurd to suggest that people should not be allowed to freely choose what sort of stupidity they want to subscribe to.

Also, Amujale, what exactly do you think Africans should be forced to concentrate on when it comes to their history?
