Give credit where it is due. There are two sides to everything. You do not expect God to always side with you if the going is tough, ama? *chuckles to herself.

I love christians, the only thing I hate is their jewish folk tale aka Holy bible.

Default yes it is hypocrisy and vanity - 12-17-2007, 09:41 AM

I think its a sin to make oneself the judge of other people on grounds like which tribe they were born in their skin colour religious belifs and so forth, in the sense by saying for example that Okello* (random name) is bad because he is a Luo out Macharia * (random name) is bad because he is Kikuyu is not dissimilar to the kind of prejudices that they had in S.A during apartheid of anywhere in the West until blacks were granted civil liberty basd on general physical appearance and heritage rather than individual faults because it is essentially hypocrisy and vain.

Christians, you do not need other Christians ama your Bible to always tell you what is a sin and what isn't a sin. Some things are all about common sense. Some of the questions here have become ludicrous! Bible_Reader, are you serious that you cannot figure that one out by yourself?

Anybody who judges along tribal lines is considered primitive and sufers inferiority/superiority complex.Such is the one who is driven by fear and hate not by objective analysis of facts. If we must grow then Africans must desist from tribalism and rise as one people.

look at Kenya now and see where tribalism has gotten
us...shame on you if you see any virtue in any of what's going on.

Default tribalism is not a sin - 01-09-2008, 02:00 AM

Sin is entirely out of the question. Tribalism is not a sin but a sign of how primitive a person is; the number one curse on Africa, It creates division and hate and is the root cause of material poverty. To grow, we must all rise above these narrow limits of tribal affiliations to a greater order of common interests.

You see, in the West when it comes to politics people from all tribes and all walks of life regroup on the basis of common interests and judge by ideas, hopes and dreams impressed upon them by the politicians. In sub Saharan Africa our people’s minds have been intentionally altered and focused on little tribal gains while we are exploited.
