RELIGION POISONS EVERYTHING ON ITS WAY- PART 2
Slackness started in Africa when Africans let imported religions
crept into our lives and continent to stifle the lives out of our native
Gods and ways of life. In most countries earth-wide where they kept
European and their religion out, they’ve been blessed in full measures.
The Japanese knew from outset not to trifle with foreign evangelists.
They did everything humanly possible fighting tooth and nail to make
sure that foreign religions and ideologies doesn’t superimpose upon
theirs. The first twenty-six Christian missionaries that came to Japan
were murdered in cold blood in the year 1597. This was an attempt to
signal Caucasians that they weren’t welcomed with their faith into
Japan. And it worked. They went one step further when in 1614 they began
to torture and execute Christian missionaries and those of their
converts who refused to disavow their religion. The Japanese and co.
knew from onset that Christian religion and its cousin of Islam were
poisonous to progress
of native peoples: hence they moved double quick to stifle them before foreign faiths addict their countrymen into unthinking and impractical sky-hookers like it’s the case in Nigeria.
In part one of this article, I criticised Nigerian Christians who claim with all masculinity, that their pastors and religion are above criticism. Some of the Christians who rejoined my write-up called me all sorts of nasty names. They had a field day badmouthing me to their heart desires. A guy called me gay atheist. Others thought that I’m not better than the guttersnipes in Ajegunle and the caste people of Indian. And I wish to thank all Christians who cursed me solid for their efforts. You guys are wonderful. No man-mountain of Christian cursers can dim the sincere wish of most freethinkers and plenty other groups who’re open to all options and believe that all areas should be accessed when it comes to criticism. God and Devil; man and woman; creation and evolution, love and hate &co.&co. should all open up for criticism.
My second motive and core reason in writing this piece is to counter the spread of indignities poured on African Traditional Religion. Most Christian who responded to part one of my articles passed African religion as pure Luciferianism: full with devilment of sins. Too many ritual; better to serve a foreign God and religion than worship the African sort, they chanted with dutiful religious orgasm. I’ll state here two instances that narcissistic Christians should ponder about next time when bashing or cursing our native religions or others as a matter of fact.
To star with: Christian religion is not without its own Lucifer effect. Fingerprints of the Devil hovers around Christian religion like it does the African one. God of Abraham that today’s Christians are so beloved of, once told his convert Abraham to kill his son Isaac to appease Him. This is ritual murder solicitation by the Biblical God! Later on, He told Abraham it was a joke after all. A playful God of April Fool type defiling the baby-innocence of Abraham’s son and playing on the psychology of his subservient Abraham convert. What in today’s world could pass proper for child abuse and attempted murder in the law court. I’ve never stopped listening to the 'sweetest taboo' song of the Nigerian-born singer, Sade Adu. There’re certainly those who love to celebrate taboos, mostly foreign ones. And this brings me to Christian religion’s next taboo.
Jesus their Christ was born via the birth of a human woman Mary mating with spirit male. In English language, spirit sexing with humans is called 'incubus.' Human being mating with spirit in Nigeria and most societies is taboo. Incubus birth is also worth the while to worship by Nigerian Christians because everything foreign is good and the one African, is damaging. They may as well argue that old things have passed away with Abraham’s era even when their by-now New Testament lives aren’t different from the old one. I’m not interested to annoy faithist here. I’m only trying to keep the record straight with those who worship imported religion and swear the reason is because African ones are so naughty by nature. The ritual sacrifice taboo occurring in Nigerian religion is bad enough that the ones in the Bible call for celebration. Misnomer. Christians and Muslims in Nigeria should look inward before they criticise our native religions because if they point one accusing finger
as per ritual and bane to the direction of African religion four remaining fingers point to their imported religions and Gods. All religions are bedevilled back and front in like manners. There’s no doubt that religion gives hopes to the down and out in society, plus it helps to console people when they lost loved ones. All the same, that’s not to say that religion is as sure as egg is egg or truly a cure-all reality. The fact that doctors use "PLACEBO" to cure their patients via playing upon their faiths and psychology doesn’t mean that placebo is real or has medicinal content. Doctors must’ve taken cue from God of Abraham in faith-playing their patients, same way today’s publicist are making superstars from ordinary people after emperor Constantine made a world superstar out of human Jesus. Placebo is the medical answer to the Biblical ‘your faith has made thee whole.’ This not to say that non-religious people have no equivalents in soothing their loses.
Christians and Muslims in Nigeria have no problem cursing other people’s religion as if they have visas from 'Christ Embassy’ and 'Muhammad’s Consulate' to do so. They are the children of the Living God by their acclaim while those outside their faiths are sons of a gun. It’s out of the fact that Muslim feel their faith and God are above criticism hence they put a bounty on the head of Salma Rushdie who wrote the 'Satanic Verses,' whence he trashed Muslim religion and Muhammad together. A religion that gives away nine-year old girls for marriage is a shameful one. The concept that Christians and Muslims allow themselves the legroom to lampoon other faiths with narcissism of a big difference while disallowing them to swipe at theirs is as vexing as it’s a major irritant. There’s always the Satanic verses in all religion.
The madness for imported whatever in Nigeria is already cutting the edge sadly. This brings to mind the sorry episode in Bright Chimeze´s music some time ago where according him, he went to a disco party and requested for African sound/music and the people called him 'Okoro junior.' Okoro Jr. is a degrading name or word to mean a 'country cousin' or a bushman. African music is bad, African Gods and religions are bad. What is it our own that we are so proud of? Native intelligence and conventional wisdom would tell you that it’s better to serve a native God than a borrowed one. That’s if you’re a God addict. Left for me, I put my faith in the positive content of people’s character, a promotion of humanism to superimpose upon all Gods and religions. I’ll use Japanese and Chinese adherence to their native religion to explain why I’m of the mindset that Native religions should be preferred in case one is a faith-head and God addict and can’t let go. All addiction is
fatal: whether it is alcohol, drug, God addiction, cigarette, womanising, rigging election, looting commonwealth.
God of Israel! When shall we’ve God of Nigeria? The booming chants about the God of Israel from across Nigeria is deafening. It’s time we start shouting God of Nigeria in place of that of Israel. In each bend and corner today in Nigeria, one is insulted with the singsongs of God of Israel. Information minister Dora should start by re-branding African religions and Gods for international consumption and to compete with Muslim and Christian Gods and religions as per foreign visitors that’d drove in with tourist and pilgrimage resources money to better Nigeria. Israel and Saudi Arabia should stop monopolizing the God industry. We need to re-brand our native Gods into shape so as to compete internationally.
The Chinese people, like their Japanese counterpart went via hell of hassles to keep their native Confucian belief system. Apart from when Chairman Mao Tse-Tung launched the 'cultural revolution' where he was bent on pooh-poohing Confucianism. Mao hated Confucius belief because it challenged leaders to take good care of their citizens. Mao’s motto was: 'do unto others as you’d not want them do unto you.' As leader of China, he was mean to his citizens plus those capitalist who’d not share his world-view of communist supremacy.
Japanese and China developed along their native system, God and religion and with these are now in the forefront of scoring modern goals in the global world. While Nigeria with Her preponderance of imported religions is lagging behind amid nations and civilisation and still pretend not to be aware. God of Abraham and Muhammad are a drawback to Nigeria and Africa. We could choose what is beneficial with foreign influence and do away with the burdensome ones. Imported religions should be chucked away from Nigeria and thrown into the trashcan.
It’s all sham the antics of Muslims and Christians in Nigeria to claim and believe that our amazing grace lies in foreign Gods. Their acting and talking to the gallery that we owe our total existence and forward march as individuals and a nation to Jesus and Muhammad are all junk posturing that have no iota of empirical truth. Their lies are seen in the development of Japan and China. Japan developed as the second richest nation not because they have or believe in Jesus and Muhammad. China is pacing ahead via its native belief systems and military tenacity. Europe and the U.S. had to separate religion from state and embraced 'Science and Technology' as their modern God. In Europe for example, their churches are unattended and nobody gives a flying hell about God, while at the same time, their lives are progressing economically with life expectancy hitting the rooftop. While in reverse, the Nigerian churches are doing roaring trade packed to the brim while our lives get misbegotten
by the day. The world at large is aware that bygone is the era of religion, aside from Nigeria that’s living in the past in the 21st century.
The futuristic Japanese people knew from word go that: religion poisons everything on its way. They thwarted it. Ask the Chinese and native Indians of the Americas of all histories to educate you better.

RELIGION POISONS EVERYTHING ON ITS WAY
Religion is a mere construct, a Disneyland of fantasy. Taking
religion to a higher level in Nigeria is like Emperor Constantine taking
Jesus Christ from mere human mortal and skyrocketing him into divinity.
Jesus followers and tribesmen had known and addressed Him as human son
of Marry and Joseph. It was Constantine and his Council of Elders in
Rome in about 325 A.D. who divined Christ into God-character and
Godhead. Contemporary TV shows have taken cue from emperor Constantine
in making ordinary people into superstars in 'who wants to be a star?'
worldwide. Most musical and film superstars of today are product of:
‘who wants to be a star?’ A throwback to how the Pagan emperor
Constantine made a superstar out of ordinary human Jesus. It’s well
historised that He was recognised as no more and no less the son of man
by his followers and townsmen contemporary of that bygone era.
Nigerian Christians are so God delusional that you wonder what magic wand their pastors used in turning adult men and women into amenable and unthinking zombies. Is it the brainwash of coercive persuasion, the Moses rod employed by pastors to charm their converts into closed mindset people as if they’ve been churned out of a robot factory from some where in communist Russia where people must ply by set down rules with no option to think for themselves? It’s way too vexing to contend with the arrogant idiocy of Christians who maintain that pastor Enoch Adeboye and his co-pastors are above criticism just by the say-so of the Christian Bible. What differentiate these kinds of Christians from homosexuals who claim that their deviant behaviour is their manifest destiny allowed by God and therefore they should be left alone? What stops us from allowing those who kill others for money ritual make their case why they and their God of Money should not be criticised? And why wouldn’t we believe Rastafarians who contend that their religion allow them to smoke marijuana and get high as the only way to get close to their God Jah Haile Selassie? Why’d we not let president Yar´Adua be, after he rigged election and claim God made him president? Who’s the rightful person to say who should be criticised and whom not, and why?
This kind of herd mentality of keeping up with the Joneses led a bunch of over eight hundred American Christians belonging to the ‘Peoples Temple’ agree to commit mass suicide in Guyana in 1978. While their pastor Jim Jones made his followers to take the poison Cyanide to kill them, pastor Jones chose to die by gunshot. Poison death is slower and painful with all the convulsion and whatnot before dying, while gun shot death is quicker and less painful. Even in death, pastor Jim Jones cheated his amenable believers by choosing a more speedy and less painful way to die while his followers had to go through hell of poison to die for the sake of a manipulative Christian religion. His converts just went with the flow of Christian paranormal lies of the existence of omnipotent sky God, to end their own lives without asking questions as to why. Should most followers of pastor Jim Jones wake up today to the news that they, the converts, died as per poison while their pastor died the easy way out via gun death, they’d have felt done in, and their pastor, a letdown.
In the event that those pastors in Nigeria call their sheepish followers out to commit mass suicide to appease their Christian God or the ego of the pastor himself, I assume most believers would kill themselves for nothing sake, judging by the senseless fanaticism with which they spit fire and brimstone to consume those who criticise Adeboye and other pastors. Should that happen, Nigerian pastors would choose the easy way to die while they’d sadistically make their converts die painful deaths like the believers of Peoples Temple Christians of America did in Jones Town, Guyana in 1978.
Nigerian pastors live swell lives of spending church thrift for their earthly personal enjoyment while their converts who donate the tithes live ghetto lives. Pastors live in apartness from the brunt of squalor their converts bear each day. It´d not be surprising whence pastor choose a more comfortable death as their pliable converts would clap to Amen songs and praises to their miserable deaths. There’s no Jupiter that can stop Christian and Moslem converts in Nigeria from committing religious hara-kiri when their pastors call them to die for their tithe-money and total obedience-demanding Gods. Boko Harem is modern pointer in this direction of senseless obedience to foreign Gods of Christian and Muslim fraternities. It´d be a form of hypocrisy to be seen only to lampoon those who criticise their pastors without dying howsoever-weird pastors dictates are. Most pliable believers across religion in Nigeria are doggone and still don’t know it yet. They’re endangered species.
The Guyana Christian mass suicide is enough warning for believers to desist from being fantasist who’d not question issues before they swallow hook, line and sinker under they’re brainwashed to subservient yes-men and women.
There’s this wisecrack: 'sex sells.' But I tell you; religion sells more that sex in Nigeria.
When the Israelites set up to formulate Christian religion in the manner resembling Christ’s activities and the local tradition of his countrymen then, they hadn’t Nigerians in mind. Nigerians and non-Israelites membering the Christian faith are gatecrashers. 'Amebo' and 'tafia' people. Israeli, Jewish worldview is narrowly restricted to the Jews alone. They hardly marry strangers and likewise, their socialisation is parochially restricted amid themselves. It’s out of misconception, ignorance, and low self-worth that Nigerians would abandon their native Gods and religions to become partakers of the scam of monotheism that came out of the Middle East.
For Christians of Israeli nativity, all non-Israelites are uncircumcised pagans not minding whether you co-profess Christian faith as they do. Jesus and Israelites of his time had never intended to include non-natives in their religious worldview, how much more today’s Nigerians. It was emperor Constantine that rigged early Christian scriptures, manuscripts and writings to make it seem as if non-Israelites are included, when he collated the Bible. Constantine himself a Pagan, was unaware that his scam of political brinkmanship to unite every one of his then citizens under one religious fold for political expediency would blaze this far in 21st century Nigeria. Religion is the hottest currency in Nigeria where pastors have hijacked emperor Constantine universal Christianity for their personal egos and pockets.
Nigerian believers, who’re hooked to the sky and can’t divorce their sky-Gods omnipotent, should at least look before they leap. They shouldn’t agree to all their pastors and Holy book tell them. There are many pastors in Nigeria like Jim Jones who’d coercively persuade their converts to mass deaths just for their personal egos and self-inflicted palavers. Most Nigerian pastors, like Jim Jones, wouldn’t want to be the last man standing, they’d confuse their believers with threat of hell damnation to go with whatever flow are their fancies and fantasies.
Since we lampoon everything under the sun on this earth, pastor Adeboye and other top faith-workers in Nigeria shouldn’t be made loners. It’s arrant make-believe to think that there are those who are more sacred than others based on the dictate of an imported religion. The culture of sacred cow belongs to Indian and not Nigeria. To see things before one believes them make for more rational sense of purpose.
