Kawme, thanks so much for the well written and well reasoned article. I expect to see some negative and insulting comments filter through here. I am glad that we have people like you in Ghana and Africa. These are questions that I’ve always asked friends:
1) Do you believe one religion is based on your geographic location? That is, if I you born in Denmank, Norway, Italy, Sweden, Iceland, etc the probability that you will be christian is closer to 100%; if born in Saudi or UAE that probability is closer to 100% that you will be a muslen, if born in India I will likely be Buddist or Sheik. In other words, ones religion is determined by where that person was born, very few of us chose our religion. We were brainwashed into thinking our religion is best from birth through adulthood and that all other religions are evil.
2) Did you know that the Bible was put together or written 100’s of years after Jesus’s death? A counsel of wisemen met and decided on which books were canon and which ones were not canon. So there are books that were left or excluded from the Bible. Examples include Books of Mary, Books of Judith, Books of Tobit, Gospel of Judas, Book of Susanna, etc. Why do you want me to believe in the books that were included in the Bible
3) Do you agree that if you believe in the Bible and the fairy tale stories about Jesus resurrecting after 3 days and Mary being virgin eventhough she was living with Joseph, you equally have to believe in the very European that imported Christianity to Ghana and exported slaves to Europe for the theory to hold? Afterall, Africans were not present when the Bible was written so how can we believe all the stories?
4) If the Europeans brought the religion to Ghana (and African) but they have relegated Christianity to the backburner why should we continue to worship the God? Is it because we are cowards and afraid of hell fire?
5) What is God or Jesus going to get from throwing me into hell burning fire? Would I ever want to see my kids burning in fire of sins committed?
Come on, brothers and sisters lets use our brains to develop our country and forget about all these fairy stories. All the Mary and virgin story, Jesus and resurrection, Jonah and the fish stories, are all fakes. Nothing closer to that transpired on this planet. I used to be a very devoured Christian but I am out due to what I have oserved for decades living in the US. Do you ever see Americans or Europeans fasting and praying for peaceful elections, for example? Peaceful elections are in the common sense.
Please lets seek first the King of Earth and all else in the hereafter shall be added to us. Lets be proud about our heritage and our history and work hard to succeed as prayers and holy water shall take us nowhere.
Thanks in advance. All insults are more than welcome as they are expected.

Hi
this is direct to Kwame and fellow readers. This is a good piece, but I want to say that there are a lot of good priests who are doing a good work and those deserve credit and that could have been mentioned... Jesus had 12 disciples and one betrayed HIM... there are many good pastors... People like you and I who have received western education are also helping to correct some of the bad things of the past... which I believe can be done through the church....once again well done .

What caused the problem in the first place? Isn't it the church? It is the church that has made the ignorant to beleive that prayers is the answer to their problems. Have you ever visited Cape Coast Castle? There is a chapel right above the door of no return. Christianity is part of the cause of the problem

Mr writer,
I am at a loss as to the point of your article. Even though I have problems with the premise and the predicate of the whole piece, I wish to pose a question on your conclusion which ends 'So reverend, if you are the messiah, save us from our church...'. My question is where, and when did the Reverend minister say, or imply, that he is THE MESSIAH?
You see this conclusion demontrates your complete misunderstanding of his point, and therefore writing from a mistaken premise, which led you to a wrong conclusion.

the writer was being sarcastic in his conclusion. Rev Anaba, and the pastorial royalty have enjoyed their invincibility and big life for a long time in Ghana.
They have taught their followers that you do not touch the lord's anointed. So no one questions them. They are worshipped like gods. No one could touch them. This has produced zombles in the church.
Today, they see the Nigerian con artist TB Joshua play the game better than any big Ghanaian pastor, and they are upset. When TB Joshua became God to Ghanaians, our pastors cannot stand it. So soon, they have forgotten that they created the non-thinking, gullilbe zombie-like Ghanaian congregation.
Rev Anaba, stop complaining, this is a taste of your own medicine.

the article is not bad but certain contents in it are rather unfortunate. christianity is a very very good religion except for certian devient pastors or so called men of God who have sought to deliberately misplace the purpose of christianity in our lives. Rev Eastwood made his point quiet clear and i think it is unfair for any one to onject what he has proposed. it is disappointing to read people who challenge things they barely understand. from my personal experience, i have come to realise that many article writers in ghana write a lot about nothing. from personal analysis i am convince the writer has not taken the time and patience to read the bible. i will advice him to first read the bible before possing any challenge or objections. oh yes like you the writer i am also one of those conscious of false prophets. there are many giant false prophets out there all falsfying the name of Jesus who came so the poor will be elevated and the weak made strong. who came that a neighbour may love a neightbour as himselve and that we may do unto others as we wish done unto ourselves. if you rad the bible, especially the nu testament then you would come to terms that it leads the way to salvation. the bible has all the answers to the questions you ask but thanks to the evil false prophets who have always sought to deliberately read and preach only what suits them and their selfish desires. they twist the word in contrast to how it was written just to desieve and mislead many. however sometimes i dont blame the false prophet too much, i blame laZy people like you the writer who have faile woefully to read the bible and to fulfill the purpose of God in yourlife. ask yourself a question, for instance why was Jesus crusified? the answer is simply because the leaders of the world and the synagogue were unfamilier with His teachings because He spoke the truth. this is why Jesus said; I speak the words of my father who sent me yet you deny me. so he was put to the cross. His desciples continued His works and many of them face the same trials and many were likewise put to death. so brother it it actually not the bible nor the church that ought to be blamed but the false prophets that are delibrately leading everyone of us to distruction. and they work in partnership with the foreigners towards our distruction. so test the spirit and you will know the truth. the truth is so hidden that many will not find it. many will search for it day and night but will not find it as it is according to the Gospel. but beloved you too can find it. let no one deceive you not to pray for africa and black race may not see the day light without God intervention. The evil one has no mercy for th crippled but fortunately you have a great wearpon against the adversary the devil fighting blacks and that key is prayer. the bible says pray without seasoning. the devil works always so beware of the day you fall asleep. dont compare anyhow to America of Britain or Germany. they have nuclear weapons and technology. what do you have as an african? the answer is your prayer so dont be deceived to thinking prayer is useless cos the devil cant withstand prayer to God and Jesus Christ. it does not matter if you dont want to pray through Christ is Ok to pray through Mohammed but most importantly lead a good life acceptable to the Holy father in heaven.

Jesus Christ is the messiah? You are kidding me. Please, Jesus is no messiah. Remember the Jews rejected that claim and still do reject that claim. You think all those stories about Jesus and miracles is true? Please rethink again, Christian is just European culture and religion and is no better African Religion, islam, budhist, what ever. Again, why are we Africans so stupid. The very European who brought the religion to our coast claiming fornication, adultery, gay and lesbian, etc are sin is now legalizing those acts.
Are Africans stupid and backward or primitive. I say yes. Be thankful to the likes of Kwame Yeboah for trying to educate the ignorant including you.
Please heaven is no earth, do not waste your time, energy and effort fighting for the heaven that is nonexistent.

5) Why do you believe the accounts in the bible are accurate? Because you believe in the European missionary (messenger) that brought the message to us?

Truly, this is a masterpiece, he has spoken for the silent majority. Honestly, the priests know all these, they are aware of the rot among them, but they are afraid. who will start what and from which church? Anaba knows this, but he is powerless. It is like in medicine, the doctors know the evils and wrongs they commit. they shield and cover themselves. Just read Dr Awoonor's article in the Daily Graphic and you will want to cry!the modern day pastors/apostles/archbishops etc are a part of a religious cartel in Ghana; on their own. their mission is to fleece the vulnerable of society.
If you are interested let me direct you to another masterpiece written centuries ago. Look for the book titled " Brother's Karamazu" there is a chapter which is exactly the same as this masterpiece its called " THE GRAND INQUISITOR" the book is by Dostoevsky. You will love it.
