Fellow Africans,
We promised to write on christianity and that is exactly what we are going
to do. The following is the first part in a long series of articles on what
is called the Christian religion. The purpose is not to attack any
particular religion or theological beliefs of any people or group of people.
We endeavor only to shed light on this thing (christianity) which is being
used to sentence a lot of Africans into life-long mental prison.
As we write this, millions of what the christian called a Holy Book, the
Christian Bible is on its way to Africa. They are being giving away free of
charge. Why? You may ask. Why would Euro-Americans be wasting money and time
giving things away FOC - Free Of Charge. You and I live in this society, do
you ever receive something for nothing?
The Bible is being used to turn our eyes to some phantoms and goblins of the
sky while Euro-Americans are LOOTING our resources. While they are telling
us to wait for our paradise in some afterlife, they are gorging themselves
with the loot from our land. Jomo Kenyatta, I believe it was who said that
"When the Europeans came, the Africans have the land, the Europeans
have the bible. 'Close your eyes and let's pray to our father in heaven,'
the Europeans asked of the gullible Africans. When the Africans opened their
eyes, they were having the Bible, and the Europeans were having the land."
It took a protracted 'Mau-Mau' war to forced the Bible-wielding, god-fearing
'men-of-god' to divulge of their ill-gotten wealth.
In the coming series we shall touch on a lot of things which western
scholars\leaders would rather not discuss. If some of the things we talk
about appear unimaginable or fantastic, the veil of secrecy and ignorance
serves the purpose of obscuring a lot of facts, which will be unpalatable to
those who make their good living by pretending to stand between our fear and
helplessness, and the wrath of the gods.
The bible-peddlers like to tell us that an attack on their book is an attack
on the CREATOR. This is not so. They also like to say that an attack on the
biblical god is an attack on the CREATOR of the universe. This is another
baloney. The biblical god is Yahweh, also called Jehovah. Yahweh is a Jewish
tribal god. Let me explain. First, we have to ask who are the Jews?
All the historical, anthropological and archaeological evidence we have
today shows that Africans were the first people on earth. The Jews belong to
the so-called SEMITIC race. For those who do not know, SEMI means HALF. A
SEMITE is, by definition, half-African, half-white. In every Jewish vein
there flows some African blood - the same goes for the Arabs. So, brothers
and sisters, if we were the first people on earth, how do we explain the
Jewish giving us a god?
Those who read their bible properly will understand that before the
wandering seventy Hebrew went to settle in Egypt, they had no conception of
monotheism! Monotheism, for our still ignorant brothers, was an African
concept. It was Pharaoh Akhneton who conceptualized monotheism and wrote
many of the books falsely credited to Solomon. We read in the bible how the
Jews were worshipping several gods. Even after they left Egypt, they still
relapse to worshipping these different gods, whenever they are fed up with
Yahweh. How many instances in the bible did Yahweh had to warn them through
Moses, the Judges and the Kings that, 'I am your God, who brought you out of
Egypt?' Moses was brought up in the court of the pharaohs, it was just
jejune nonsense that he got his laws from mount sinai. It was another way of
denying Africans the credit that rightly belong to us! We shall be dealing
more with Moses in subsequent issues.
Among the people of the world, Africans are the most spiritual. That
explains why we remain eternal optimists. In the face of great adversity, we
keep going strong because we believe that the morrow will be brighter. This
is precisely what our oppressors throughout the ages know, and they are
using it against us. Anyone who know anything about religion could only be
amused by the sight of Euro-Americans going to teach spirituality to Africa.
The sight of the charlatans rushing to our land to teach 'universal human
compassion' should draw derision not anger. You and I live in Europe, where
do you find men who love one another? Where do you find men whose heart were
filled with christian charity? Where, in these hate-filled societies, do you
find people who love Africans? First, there is an important distinction to
be made between christians and what we shall call 'Bible-Peddlers,' or
'Bible-Zombies.'
It may distress a lot of our christian brothers, but the Bible has nothing
to do with Jesus the Christ. Jesus the Christ? Yes, Christ is a title and
not the surname of Jesus of Nazareth. What Jesus taught has nothing to do
with anything contained in the bible. Christianity as we know it today owes
its inspiration and creation to Saul alias Paul, who claimed to have an
epiphany on his way to Damascus. None of those credited with writing the
Gospels were eye-witnesses to what they were writing about. None of the
fables and legends they were plagiarizing came from the mouth of Jesus the
Christ.
The saddest part is that most christians today do not know that those whom
Jesus imparted his knowledge\teachings were overcame by Paul. And do our
christian brothers know that they are worshipping Paul's, and not Jesus'
teachings? If Paul had not, through the sheer force of his personality,
wrested control from the true apostles of Jesus, we would have a very
different christianity today. None of the Gospels we find in the New
Testament would have been included as they were all written by Paul
partisans. The picture we have of Jesus the Christ would also be very
different. The simple fact that the early Roman Catholic fathers compiled 73
booklets into their version of the bible while the protestants, an offshoot
of roman catholicism, compiled 68. Readers are directed to documents
relating to the Conference of Nicene in 325 AD.
When asked a question, our christian brothers are quick to say, 'According
to the holy Bible, blah, blah, blah.' Let us debunk this nonsense about a
Holy Bible. There are books in the world that could be declared sacred or
holy, but the christian bible is not one of them. A simple dictionary
definition of 'Holy' is 'endowed or invested with extreme purity.' Does the
christian bible meet this simple criteria?
The bible could be dismissed as a book of 'excessive war-mongering,
licentious pornography, debauched prostitution, debased immorality, slavery
of the highest degree and intolerance of the highest order. You can then
throw in fantastic legends and fabulous myths. You may also add extreme
contradiction and infantile fables.
These are very serious charges and we did not make them because we want to
impress you with some big grammar. Everything we write shall be adequately
substantiated.
There are many authorities we can cite to support what we are going to say
on the christians and their book, but since the bible is its own worst
enemy, we shall rely solely on quotation from therein. Sadly, whereas
authorities like St. Augustine (a black man who contributed a lot to the
building of the christian faith) expressed doubt about the authenticity of
some of the books of the bible, ('when I encounter in these books a
statement which seems to contradict reality, I am in no doubt that either
the Text is faulty or the translator has nor been faithful to the original,'
he wrote); and whereas honest western christian scholars expressed the same
intellectual skepticism; and whereas even the Second Vatican Council
(1962-1965) expressed contradictions in the Bible, our African
brothers\sisters are clinging, dogmatically to the literalness of the bible.
Africans are prepare to go to war to attest to the authenticity of the
bible. How sad! This is 1994, guys\gals!
Like most things they touch, Euro-Americans have turn religion into a set of
abstractions and touting this as the glory of mankind. As anyone except the
most ignorant and dogmatic christian knows, there are other religions in the
world dating back to antiquity. What the Euro-Americans are teaching as
christianity are nothing but crude copies of ancient religion, which unto
this day, they cannot fully understand.
In order to fully understand the bible, one has to read more than the bible.
There is no single original thought in the bible. The christian bible added
amost nothing to human knowledge. All its stories are found in the Egyptian
or the Chaldean ancient books. The psalms and songs of Solomon falsely
credited to the wrong people. There is no important idea contain in the
christian bible that is not found in the eschatology of the Egyptians.
It is important to make another distinction. This time between religion and
theology. Religion: 'worship of, or obedience to a supernatural
power.'Theology: 'the systematic study of christian revelation concerning
God's natural and purpose.' As can be clearly see, the christians are LYING
when they say that theirs is the only religion, the only vehicle to God.
Christianity is nothing but a theology, a crude vehicle to perpetuate White
Supremacy. I think it is only African christians who do not seem to see the
use to which christianity is being put to mentally enslaved us. Any honest
Euro-American christian scholar knows that the image of a caucasian Mary
with her baby Jesus is a pure invention.
How does this strike our christian brothers? Those of us still bowing to the
image of a caucasian maid and her son are bowing to a FALSE IMAGE. Mary and
her son could never have been blue-eyed blonde. They were Hebrew, and all
the records we have of the Hebrews did not pictured them as WHITE PEOPLE.
This alone should shattered the myth that proponents of christianity are
anything but cultural chauvinists, hell-bent of distorting reality,
enslaving the non-European, especially the African people of the world, and
promoting racial nonsense under the canopy of spreading the word of God. If
nothing else, these bible-peddlers are guilty of blasphemy by attributing to
God all their racial nonsense.
Before 1505, when Pope Julius II commissioned the Italian painter, Leonardo
da Vinci, to paint biblical personalities in white, Jesus and his mother
Mary were always portrayed as BLACK! You still find them in the Black
Madonnas in Poland, among other places. How do we explain this distortion?
'Jesus is the Son of God,' our christian brothers are fond of affirming? Is
this a new christian invention. At least three thousand years before Jesus,
the Egyptian Belief System has the idea of a Trinity. The biblical story of
Jesus was lifted verbatim from the Egyptian legend of the Cult of Isis. In
it were the story of the Virgin Isis and her son, Horus. What the compilers
of the bible did was merely to change Isis to Mary, and Horus to Jesus.
Shocked?
That was not all. All the myth about Jesus disappearing at age 12,
reappearing at age 30 and been crucified at age 33, on his arising on the
third day and ascending to heaven to sit on the right hand of his father are
exactly how the Egyptian told their legend of Horus.
The Yorubas are among the African ethnic\national group who said that they
came from Egypt, (the GAs in Ghana are a sub-tribe of the Yorubas, and they
left Ile-Ife to settle in their present abode), and anyone who know the
story of the fabled Yoruba king, Sango, will recognize the close resemblance
it bears to that of Jesus the Christ. Sango, according to the legend, was a
powerful king of Oyo, the political capital of the Yorubas, he was rejected
by his people and, as was the custom in those days, he had to commit
suicide. On the third day, he was storied to have arose and went up into
heaven?
It is not that these things are not known to modern scholars. There are
literary thousands of books that attest to all these historical facts. Why
are they not being told? Why are they not being taught at our seminaries,
our universities? Why are the liars, the forgers, the peddlers of
distortions being allowed to get away with these lies they claim were words
of God? Why is a plagiarized book full of stupid myths and patently false
legends being bandied as the HOLY BIBLE, inspired by almighty god? Why are
the governments in Africa allowing our culture to be contaminated by all
imperialists masquerading as men of God? Why is the false teachings of the
bible compulsory reading in our schools? We can spend the rest of our life
posing burning questions, but let us move on to our examination of this
Jesus thing.
The compilers of the bible want us to believe that their work was inspired
by God. Any work so inspired must, per definition, be FREE of errors,
omissions or contradictions. Is this true of the Bible? It is only the
irredeemably dogmatic christian who can claim so, unfortunately they are
mostly Africans.
It is blasphemous, to say the least, that a book that contain so numerous
errors and contradictions as the bible could be labeled 'Holy Bible,' and
falsely claimed to have been inspired by a God. The most gullible of these
christian brothers would even go as far as telling us that the words were
dictated word-for-word by God. This is simply outrageous! If only these
fellas will read their book properly, they will know that it cannot be the
handwork of a properly educated man, not to mentioned an almighty God! They
really don't know the amount of damage they are doing to their creed by that
stupid and patently false claim.
In trying to make Jesus the Christ fulfil their purpose of distortion, they
claimed for him a false genealogy to the Hebrew king David. On this
important score, one would have expected the writers to be extra-careful.
Were they? No, they weren't. Check out the genealogy in the Gospel according
to St. Matthew and compare it with that of St. Luke. The mistakes are that
which are common to all plagiarists.
According to our christian brothers, we have to believe that Matthew was
inspired to see 26 ancestors of Jesus - from his father, Joseph, to king
David. In the same Holy Book, Luke was equally inspired to see 41 ancestors
- also from Joseph to king David!
