Ujinga ya Mwafrika: Witchcraft = Christianity = Stupidity

Am watching Sunday morning KTN, and they are featuring something called JCC Church Service, apparently ya wale conmen wanaitwa na wafuasi wao ‘Daddy na Mum’ (the Kyunas? I forget).

Anyway, am looking at all these seemingly educated people in the congregation, all dolled up and well-dressed, making fools of themselves ati they are ‘worshipping’ and am thinking, what is wrong with us nyeuthis really? You dont have anything better to do than wake up and go making a fool of yourself on national TV?

Is our belief in the supernatural so strong that we can never see beyond bullshit? When the White man came to Africa, one thing he noted was that the belief in witchcraft was so endemic that entire clans were being wiped out because they were “witches”. Everything was attributed to Kamuti. Fathers could sacrifice their children to be “cleaned”.

So the White man introduced Christianity, his form of witchcraft, and the African was hooked. Like the fool he is.

Christianity, like belief in witchcraft is irrational and downright stupid, if you really think about. Only us silly nyeuthis have morphed the two, and insist on making mighty fools of ourselves. Ati worshipping…worshipping what? Si afadhali hata wafuasi wa Jehova Wanyonyi, at least they could see him? The same people am seeing on TV, incidentally, also probably belief that you can “funga” your wife Fisi akwamilie, right? Just like many of you here. Wafrika si we are just stupid…

And then you come here ranting about how your leaders are making you poor, when you take so much of your money to pastor cons and spend the rest in building outlandish temples to a Jewish myth. Do the people who brought you this God believe in him?

What is wrong with you? Nikurogwa (ha ha ha!) ama ni nini?

cargo cult mentality, where no one wants to work for success, it easier to believe a deity somewhere will give you all your worldly desires. All you have to do is have faith, never question anything in the holly book and worship him however outlandish it sounds, meanwhile to get your blessings quickly you must also bribe the priest to intermediate

Shocks, exactly like the witchdoctors of old. You had to take a goatto them to deliver your from disease/poverty/calamity.

Sad.

My take,
Christianity =/= stupidity
Religion = stupidity

Some successful people also attribute their success to their deity. Maybe the way Christians behave and act is what is wrong. Sijuiiiiiii.

Christianity isn’t stupidity, it’s just it requires a higher level of understanding than what you have

Look at it this way guka, the education /knowledge /understanding that you have was taught by the Christians/missionaries (if indeed you are a guka)… How then can you profess to be more educated or understand a concept more than they can

Believing in a higher power, a Divine authority isn’t what I would call stupidity, its the result of thinking end to end about life and not half way blinded by the different aesthetics you see in some Christians. just because the presentation can be stupid doesn’t mean their isn’t some truth in it. And you wonder why not judging a book by its cover is such a big saying.

you are simply saying I can’t be better than my teachers? wrong example.

Hunter and Wooi, Ive read the Bible cover to cover and to tell you the truth, Ive questioned that book since I was kedo five years when I was forced to go to Sunday School. Its so full of shit I wonder how anybody can believe in it - like Jews going around the walls of Jericho seven times and the walls collapse and kill everyone.

Which righteous god kills innocent people going about their business in their own village for no reason? AND THATS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF ABOUT SEVERAL THOUSAND.

Watch a documentary titled “Zeitgeist” (and am not endorsing everything they say) and just see how much of the nonsense you believe in came about. Just compare the lives of Joseph and Jesus for a start.

Think for yourselves, bana

It’s a great example, you can’t compare a system that has been developed and studied for many years with one that’s barely few decades old, that’s when the Chinese shot down a US drone sometime back they tried to reverse engineer Coz they couldn’t make a copy
Similarly if couch potato could reverse engineer Christianity maybe he could understand it better than dismiss it as stupid

That’s where you went wrong, reading it cover to cover rather than trying to understand it, it isn’t a novel you know, Jesus himself read the laws of moses and had problems with them, it’s a classic example of “love of law” and “law of love” argument.
You sir are a stickler of love of law, the Bible is the opposite

Christianity came to Africa before the white man. Just because you can’t see God doesn’t mean he doesn’t exist, same way, one can’t say I don’t have a 1,000 shilling note in my pocket just because he can’t see it.

I’m an… no! I’m supposed to be an Adventist. They seemed to be the argumentatively sober and honest lot. But after prolonged pondering, I no longer know where to go! The Adventists have a lot of questions to respond to, but as always with religions, if ask you get half-hearted answers or get loathed altogether!
