WORSHIP OF GOD IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE COLONIALISM AGENDA AND IT HAS MADE AFRICANS, ESPECIALLY GHANAIANS LAZY, GULLIBLE AND TIMID. THERE IS NO MATERIAL EVIDENCE THAT GOD EXISTS; THE "EXISTENCE" OF GOD EMANATES FROM THE "THEORY OF REVELATION" PROPOUNDED TO EXPLAIN AWAY THE "ORIGIN OF MAN" AND UP TO TODAY, IT REMAINS A THEORY, NOT REALITY.
THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT HEAVEN EXISTS. PEOPLE FROM OTHER AREAS TELL US TO FORGIVE IN ORDER TO GO TO HEAVEN BUT THEY DO NOT FORGIVE US WHEN WHEN WE COMMIT AN OFFENCE, SO THE QUESTION IS DON'T THEY WANT TO GO TO THE SO-CALLED HEAVEN?
THOSE WHO CLAIM THAT GOD EXISTS SHOULD TELL US FROM WHERE THAT GOD COMES FROM. THEY ALSO CLAIM THAT GOD IS A SPIRIT AND CANNOT BE SEEN WITH OUR NAKED EYES. THE QUESTION IS HOW DID THEY SEE THE SPIRIT AND STARTED CALLING HIM "GOD?".

One again, kudos to the interviewee and the interviewer. It is just the beginning of things to come.
For time immemorial, we in Ghana/Africa have been subjected to the vagaries and abuses of the purveyors of religion, be it the traditional African religions or the imported ones, Christianity and Islam. I am glad that more and more Ghanaians are joining the Englightenment Movement to bring Reason and a Rational Order to bear on the lives of the mass of Ghanaians too.
They should not have the sole prerogative to disturb our ears, our sleep and our senses of rational thinking with their cacophonous noises about gods, demons, devils and hellish fire! Ghana is a secular state and the ultimate goal is to make a truly secular state, devoid of the present religious intrusion into our schools and national institutions.
Image my horror and consternation in 1993 when I went to the new post office at Brofoyeduro in Cape Coast only to meet one person on the counter who couldn't serve me cos the Manager had marshalled the staff under duress for a morning prayer session during office hours! I went to the Graphic office to complain but they also told me to write the story for them instead of going to investigate for themselves! Tweah! That country and the people!
Religious superstition and its twin, abject ignorance, are the two most important cogs in the vicious cycle of underdevt and backwardness. The 2 must be fought hand in hand.

You are an asset and a defender for the enlightenment of all Ghanaians, not just a chosen few. And you disappoint when you make references to Ewes and Akans and describe them, forgetting that there is no difference between Ewes and Akans. At least not genetically.

Dr SAS,
Thanks for the confidence in my abilities.
You see, one can't make omelette without breaking eggs. Therefore, to break the ethnocentric canker, which mind you, has been spearheaded for decades now by some elements within the Akan ethnic group, I have to descend into the dirty mud pit in order to rub off the blinkards covering the eyes of those people and, in the process, the mud some have been wallowing in and throwing at us will stick on us! It is a risk we take but the end result shall surely justify the means.
I mentioned earlier that most people are not aware that much of NAZI propaganda against the Jews were simply Zionist (racist) claims turned against them (the Jews). Recollect the UN once voted Zionism as racism. I simply deployed similar methods in my last post, "These Akans" and their Hangers-on, and hang up the culprits against myself to see if their constant caricaturising of Ewes, particularly myself, is borne out by the facts about me.
You are fine yourself. You devoted much time to write pieces defending Ewes against their detractors on this very web. You recognised a problem then, abi?
Just watch me solve it my way. Just as I don't have a bone of superstition in me, I similarly don't have a muscle of bigotry in me.
As for ideology, you got that wrong too. There is a book out there titled Ideology and Pragmatism by that Kennedy adviser, Schlesinger or so. By the time you are half way through it, you'd have a deeper meaning of it, and know that capitalism was one of the most ideological systems ever devised by man.
Perhaps, what you mean is one should not be dogmatic. Karl Marx is on record as denouncing those who started turning his works into dogmas in his life time, proclaiming that, if that's what the German "Marxists" claimed to be Marxist, then he was no Marxist! Engel spent the rest of his life trying to explain his friend's works to those who had embraced it, or thought they had.

Stupid idiot, Kofi Yesu. In case you're ignorant, let me educate you by pumping some sense into your mad head. The Onnipotent God you people call Allah, is not a bloody thirsty God, to begin with. In Ghana, majority of the hard-core criminals who've been arrested for armed-robbery bear Moslem names. Terrorism in the world today is the brain child of Islamist extremists. Look around the globe: Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Somalia, Kenya, Nigeria, to mention but a few. Hundreds of innocent people are being killled by the day, in the name of a fucking Holy War called Jihad. Which God or Allah endorses these inhuman acts of terrorism against mankind? Yet, we're told that Islam stands for peace and submission. To put it bluntly, Islam is rather a bunch of blood thirst, genocidal psychopaths from day one when the sect was founded by Mohammed. It's nothing short of being a deceptive "peaceful" religion. Its blood lust is hidden behind a facade of mysterious, religious beauty.

We know islam is a false religion and it's so called prophet was a false prophet and in order to sustain that falsehood you would put to death any one who dare to criticise the koran and the false prophet. There is only one way to heaven and that is through The lord Jesus Christ. He does not demand works for your salvation neither does He demand any one to kill in His name.

As Christian myself, my sincere point is that everyone who call themselves Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, etc. has been one by default. Every religious person is believing what they hear rather than what they know by themselves to be God.
Having already accepted there is God from some peoples' opinions we are then left with proving a case for those who made the claim. Sadly, we are disputing, trying to find answers that befits some peoples' claim for God rather we actually finding that God on our own. Thus, all our efforts to find God has been some peoples' personal opinions, ideas or experiences, what about if they were wrong? What do we say is God without the bible, quran, etc? If those beliefs were not there, what would have been our individually personal knowledge of God?
Strikingly, we dispute with the atheists even when the foundations of our religious argument is base on peoples' point of view rather than our own. That means independently we do not find God?
This argument for God base on other peoples' knowledge that is passed on to us inadvertently quarantines our sense of reasoning, especially where we see some illogical thoughts in the bible, quran, etc but still follow them without freedom for questioning. Not even the archbishops or professors of religions give room or tolerate any other view point of God that sees differently from the tradition of what Moses, Abraham, Jesus, etc or the Jews told them. Could we Christians ourselves prove Moses was right about his thesis on God and creation? Where are the evidence? History tells us a lot even before Moses talked about these Jews being our slaves for 400+ years under Egyptian civilisation. Now Africans have thrown away all these rich literacy and have become subservient to the Jews as intelligent super humans because of religion, following after things without space to really thinking it.
If they were so intelligent than us how could we have enslave them? The Egyptians, originally black Africans balmed corpses about 3000 yrs ago are still preserved till today. And look at us today, the modern African cannot preserve human bodies for even a week without extensive costs because we dumped the knowledge of own going after modernity of foreign literacy and gods.
Without some of these questions answered rightly in our own individual knowledge of existence of God, it would not worth any while to unnecessarily argue with peoples' thoughts or opinion in bibles, Qurans, etc.

When John Wycliffe translated the bible from Latin to English in 1384 it was considered blasphemous by Christians. In spite of all the action taken against him, he had never been excommunicated; therefore,he was buried on consecrated ground. In 1428 his bones were torn from the grave in Lutterworth churchyard by the English bishop at the command of the Pope, burned to ashes, thrown into the river Swift, and from there they were carried from brook to river, river to ocean.
Now Christians read the blasphemous English bible more than the latin one.
The bible was used to exchange our land, human, and natural resources. I will not be surprised if you allow it to be used to exchange our new found oil.

So you think becoming Christian makes one incapable of knowing God from simply reasoning? In Romans 2:11-14, with emphasis on verse 14, don't the bible talks about people who unconsciously obey the 'law' without necessarily being Christians are not sinners. What then is the law or God here? Even the bible pointing out clearly, did say that with our own conscience by nature know God without the bible whether we believe in the bible or not. My brother being Christian don't make us dummies or unreasonable humans to question our beliefs. Can we know God ourselves where as we are not atheists, rather than someone telling us who God should be like and, stop auto cruising on histories base on peoples' like Moses's opinions?

God is uncreated and that is why every human being has a name for him; the english call him God, the french call him Dieu, the bisas call him wusu, the kusasis, mamprusis, dagombas etc call him nawuni, the akans call him onyankopon, the ewes call him mawu, the gas call him nyomo the arabs call him allah, the aborigines of australia call him atnatu, even the primitive people who the writer refers to will have a name for this omnipotent and omniscient creator. You are at liberty to believe what you like. You can even chose to believe that you are a goat and no one can challenge you not to believe that. He controls your life and the universe and can end your life without your permission. He creates you the way he wants,tall, short, ugly, handsome, poor, rich, healthy, sick and anyhow without your input.If you believe there is no God then Put a challenge to him today that by 31st of May you will be alive!

This is the watchmaker argument which has been discussed by philosophers for centuries and has been found to be wrong and illogical. It has so many loopholes and books have been written exposing these.
If somebody made a watch, computer, tv, etc. it does NOT prove that somebody must also have made a man, a goat, the universe and that somebody is God. That is not a logical argument. We have no logical reason to assume that somebody made man or goat or moon.
Today, the science of Evolution has explained how living things come to be on earth far better than the Bible or the Quran ever did. The science of Astronomy and Astro-Physics have a far better explanation of the universe and how it came about (cosmos) that any religious book has ever done. These better explanations make absolutely no reference to God. And best of all, these scientific explanations never make the claim that they have the absolute answers to these questions. They are ready to change their views with more available data and knowledge.

Hoping your so-called scientist will one day create an ant from metal.

Everything they use was the creation of our ever living, omnopotent and omniscient God. You can insult him anyhow you want but he will continue to give you his free oxygen to brief. Wait until the day he weakens your muscles of respiration and visit the hospital and see how much you will pay for the scientists oxygen.why will scientist talk about God if they don't acknowledge him, go and see who your so called atheist call when dying.

You are completely dodging the argument. You are not trying to give us the argument and the evidence that there is really a God who really created things out of nothing. You are just echoing the belief of religion without any concrete arguments.
Scientists NEVER make any claims for themselves. Scientists NEVER say they create things out of nothing or even out of something. Scientists never claim they can make an ant. It is people like you who make such claims on behalf of God.
Scientists just try to discover what laws there are in nature, why certain thing are the way they are, what explanations there can be for phenomena and how correct or wrong they can be in their estimations and explanations. No scientist ever claimed that he has created anything. Scientists have assembled things to make other things using the laws they have discovered are already there in nature. They never claim that they created those laws themselves. They never say it is a God sitting somewhere who made those laws because, unlike you, they don't know that or have any evidence of that.
You, Odiyifo, are the ones making all the claims. Just give us the evidence for those claims.

Tettey, your attitude is the main reason why many revile religion and its many false gods. if you as a god believing person is not tolerant of other peoples views even when it is against your "god" then you prove to us that you are indeed a follower of an intolerant and prejudiced "god", you cannot claim love or mercy or whatever divine inspiration you lay claim to with this attitude. religion is such an enemy of democracy and human rights and you show us clearly that you are an intolerant and prejudiced believer just like your "god" whoever he/she/it is!
any decent human being will listen to the opinions of others and any good human being will allow another to follow his own beliefs as long as they do not commit injury to the greater society. the spirit of intolerance that has permeated religion for so long and has led to wars and genocide, rape and slaughter, infanticide and cruelty, slavery and torture. you are manifesting this intolerant spirit clearly on this platform and you must be greatly admired by your intolerant and prejudiced "god" for being such a diligent servant. we humanists will not worship at the altar of intolerance, prejudice, bigotry and death as the many religions have. we respect all human lives and opinions.

It is possible for the believers to win their argument through proper conduct, exemplary living and disciplined arguments....
But looking at the cacophonous outrage expressed here, it is obvious that the believers are no different from the Talibans. if they had the power or means, they will crucify those of us lampooning their faith or questioning their religion. They are here insulting and cursing and threatening while abstractly holding brief for a loving God who is coming to take them to heaven because of their righteousness. Where is their righteousness? If heaven is made up of such hypocritical lot,then I would avoid it like the plague! The last company I will like to keep are evil-minded characters like Pelicles, Okoampa-Ahoofe, Nemesis, Akadu Mensema, and all these charlatans who hope to go to heaven after they die!! Tweaa Kai!! They can't even wrap their heads around the concept that others are as human as they are, yet they are looking up to heaven for their salvation.
Their worship of God is mere lip service, and their faith is a means of control and oppression against their perceived adversaries. In short, they are full of wickedness and hatred on behalf of a loving god who will quickly wipe away their sins and give them a crown of victory.
Whoever needs a god or heaven or religion in order to be righteous is inherently wicked, and their cultic worship and zealotry are a mere cover for the expression of their atavistic evil.

Sometimes, I wonder if it is not a punishment to be knowledgeable and wise. This is because the effect of stupidity on the wise is extreme anger and frustration. I find this whole religious nonsense to be so patently stupid that I sometimes want to puke! I don't understand why any sane person will take the religious charad seriously. Consider that people go to church and listen to pastors who fleece them of their money and pretend to have messages from God. These leaders take the money and live ostentatious lifestyles which these people see everyday. So it stands to reason to conclude that these worshipers are aware of the playacting and fraudulence going on in these churches. At the same time, the worshipers accept the playacting and fraudulence in good faith and perpetuate the hypocrisy by thinking that these religious leaders are going to lead them to salvation. They don't bother to think beyond the scope of what somebody has told them of the Bible. And they vehemently condemn those who see the truth and articulate it.
The sheep and their shepherds always make me want to puke. I wish I were as stupid as they are; then I can live in a fool's paradise like them.

The humanist argument is too beautiful for it to be constricted over a debate about the existence of god. I think that debate is moot and distracting, insofar as a belief in a god could also mean a belief in principles or the belief in doing the utmost good.
The problem of the atheists is that they construe god in anthropormorphic, biblical or quranic terms and discard him/her, using so-called holy scripture as their platform for the rejection.
There is a clear dichotomy between established religion and the belief in god which I think is personal, varied and undefined.....Do not morph the two.
I believe in god, not as a disembodied being residing somewhere, but as a conscience and a force for doing the most good for the most people at the most time. My belief is not based on the scripture, but on the presumption that doing good will give me my peace of mind and make the world a better place for all.....
The atheists should project humanism as their form of religion and stop their opposition of what others choose to believe. They obnubilate their message with a cacophonic chatter about the non-existence of god when the definition of god is different and personal for everybody. Atheism should not have as its focus an attack over a belief. That takes away from its appeal. The non-existence of god is to the extent that no single concept or entity called god exists anywhere. Even the most presumptuous of religions admit the infinite nature of god. That means they don't have a clue of god, what it is or who it is. So why spend time educate people that something does not exist when they themselves have already admitted that they don't know how or what it is.

As Christian, I have always looked for time to question if I believing rightly? My challenge is; how do I know God outside some peoples' opinions of God in Christianity, Muslim, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and the bunch lot? The 'unquestioning culture' in Christianity is really a bother. The religious books are all other peoples' just like us opinions of God, what about our own personal opinion without the bibles, Qurans, etc?
Even the bible talks about knowing God outside the bible in Romans 2:14, that those who 'unconsciously obey the law' outside God's expressed commandments are still righteous by which Jesus the overall boss entertained that freedom of individually personally knowing who Jesus is outside others opinion. This Jesus asked his disciples other peoples' opinion of him Jesus and then the disciples' own opinion or knowledge of him. In Matthew 16:13-15, Mark 8:27-29, 'Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?' and 'But whom say ye that I am?' said Jesus.
So what is it that makes one righteous without necessarily religious? Sorry to repeat but just like Socrates and Euthyphro's debate about piety, what is that one must do to be righteous that cuts across all manner of colour, race, bible, quran, tithes, religion, Jew, etc? Could that 'do thing' be the God we looking to find?

I am not here to argue or debate on theism or atheism as well as gnostic or agnostic. My response is based solely on the thrust of your post, which I have copied and pasted here.
Firstly, to me it would be pointless on my part to debate anyone who has come to conclusion that there is NO God. When someone has made up his mind, I see no reason why anyone should even consider to debate or reason with him on the subject that he has already come to conclusion.
Secondly, the question of theism or religion is based on FAITH. So one can spend unfruitful endless hours trying to reason with someone who does not share the same faith with him or her. Even it would be pointless for a baptist to reason with a Mormon, how much more an atheist?
So based on what you wrote up there, will you call Ghanaian voters STUPID? Before answering that question, be cognizant with the fact that, every 4 years, Ghanaians wake up as early as 5 am and queue to vote for their respective presidential candidates with the hope that the winner would bring changes in the country. Yet, every 4 years, the politicians or the leaders come and spend on themselves, families and friends forgetting about those who put them in power without doing anything for the country.
Even though, Mahama has done nothing for Amina or Mansa, yet come 2016, the Amina and Mansa will wake up early on election day to go and vote for their candidates, with the HOPE, again, with the HOPE that something good will come out of it.
My question again is, do Ghanaians want to make you puke for being STUPID and allowed the politicians to deceive them continuously?
If YES, why don't you write on this "FAKE" democracy and ask that it should be abolished?
If NO, why then do you want to puke when the same people keep on going to Church with the HOPE, again, with the HOPE, somehow, the position in life would be changed?

They are not "weaponised" food nor would they poison you or wipe you off your land. They are crops modified to withstand harsh conditions (like drought and heat) or produce a greater yield than their non-GMO counterparts. Ghana has actually been using then for a long time.

Mr. Writer, you obviously can feel the wind and see it blowing. Do you deny the wind exist simply because you can't see it? God is spirit & none of us can see him with our eyes but can surely see his marvelous creation. No ho ...

Many eminent scientists thought like you, and changed their minds when they saw the 'demonstration' as you put it. So there is no point arguing with you.
Name one such eminent scientist.
Professor Anthony Flew, one of the greatest scientist of the 20th Century, who used to be called 'the world's most notorious atheist'.
Anthony Flew was a philosopher not a scientist. Also he did not become religious he became a diest which is a spiritual movement and not a religious one. He still rejected the idea of the afterlife, the resurrection and Jesus ...

That is a debatable subject.
He was not a scientist and did not actually become religious, just spiritual. His views are well documented.
Dr. Francis Collins
Dealing with dying patients led him to become religious, not a scientific 'demonstration'. His view, like Anthony Flew and CS Lewis, was due to an emotional response not scientific proof.
