Biko... my people,
Are Christianity and Islam our indigenous culture?
Sometimes when I read some Facebook posts, I see elements of subtle illiteracy littered here and there.
Our convictions are not at all ours... They are white people's culture.
European Christians infringed on human rights back in the medieval times. Heresy, blasphemy, deviation from the norms of the land received horrendous punitive charges like hanging.
Oh well, they grew out of it...
Now, they are consistently refining there religions to accommodate the trends these days.
I mean look at Islam that is averse to western education...Dubai is a masterpiece that screams sophistication and modern literacy.
Is it Christianity that we shouldn't talk about?
Every minute it keeps getting fragmented with people fashioning out biblical opinions they feel should be the tenets of their own Christianity.
Some do testament selective reading...others exclude the Torah's commands, some just joggle things ...moving their own bigoted tentacles, selecting the ones they feel at home with, and ditching the ones that doesn't augur well with them.
Then at the end, someone will just be wagging his or her gob about how some western ideologies aren't compatible with our indigenous ideologies.
Biko, the Islamic and Christian ideologies of things, did we fashion them out of thin air?
The point is, our basic moral compass is still based on the western judeo-christian rules, so if the western judeo-christian rules are changing and we decide not to change alongside them, it still won't make that religion an indigenous African religion.
Sometimes before you write something....gutu obere akwukwo, metu ntakiri research...yochaputa ofodu ife tupu iweta edemede aru ya niile na e dripu of 'No knowledge'.
Ngwa ka odizie nu
