I also am unclear as to what you think will replace Christianity as a pervasive Afrian world view that will cause less harm to people. Atheism? [B]Paganism?[/B] Why do you think it will cause less harm?
|
This is a totally europeanized outlook. The idea that just because somebody is not a christian he is a pagan. Its funny how most dictionaries come together to state that non christians/judaic/muhammedans are pagans. All three being slave doctrines.
Amazing!
Stop being a woefully frightenned little African.
We will
prosper very much without christianism & muhammedanism thank you very much.
How? By adhering to African moral values: Yes.
Truth, Justice, Righteousness. Maat.
Few christians have ever followed these.
Thats why the
first slave boat that landed with kidnapped Africans in America was called
Jesus.Fact
Thats why there is so much misery in Africa and the world in general: People believe
great white god will come from the sky one fine day in
cosmic fury to put things to put to rights the wrongs on the planet.
I am sure you will agree that Africa needs to quickly discard such medieval balderdash. Right?

You are fond of asking Christians to evaluate their perceived detrimental effects of Christianity, I would like you to turn that inquiry on yourself and evaluate whether you believe there have been any benefits of Christianity in Africa and abroad

.
Tell us the benefits. Please.Do.

Talula, if war in general is "stupid" how should a people respond against an aggressor? Are you a pacifist? Or are you saying that somewhere within every conflict there is stupidity at its core but sometimes defending against aggression is necessary? (Edit: I see now I may have misunderstood who said what, the above quotes are kinda jacked up).
|
I am the one who said war is stupid. Personally I love peace and hate to see the fighting that goes on all over the place just because of a few egos. So war is stupid.
Iraq, Afganistan, Northern Ireland.....etc.
However we Africans have refused to
channel our rages properly and are open to abuse & manipulations..
and stupid wars.
Having said that (to your pacifist query) I have always sneered at the christianism's idea (incidentally very different from the old testament
wild war-like god eye 4 eyeing & tooth 4 toothing FYI) of you slap my face and I give you the other cheek......
The key for Africans is to identify their real enemies....

How do you view that great African Augustine (of Hippo, not the poster here, lol)? He almost inarguably is the most influential theologian in western Christianity, both among Roman Catholics and Protestants.

Indeed he is this
little African thinker! He is the one who spewed idea of the
virtues of suffering on the planet to achieve some sort of carthasis against "
original sin".
No wonder at least subconciously (which is worse) Africans accept the way things are as a white god-ordained (or fight vs satan) thing.
Instead of analysing reality properly.
He is the one who fortified for the medieval kings of europe & power mad bishoprics
the idea of the devil-saying things like women could be seduced by some devil at night (incubus?) an men by some female demons......in their sleep. So people needed to be chastising (flogging and suffering) themselves to be "pure"
No wonder Africans are so filled with fear of non existent european devil more than they actually believe in white god!
Astounding!
You better read Augustine again and tell us what is so great about this guy from Hippo.
For Africa's development. Renaissance.
Quit playing.
