An Atheist, I think is someone who 'believes' there is no God, let alone spirits. Others 'believe' there is a God and there are spirits. You are asking your friends to show you or prove there are spirits,dwarfs, etc. Have you tried proving to them that they are not there or exist? I don't know why your friends want to convince you these things exist. Long ago many Scientists and astronomers believed that the sun was the only star with a planet and a habitable one for that matter. Now they discover a planet a week around other stars. This was possible because some astronomers and scientist believed that other stars may have planets around then amd continued to search for them. Now we know that our sun is not the only star in the universe with planets but other stars have palnets. Whether you believe in God and spirits or not does not matter. What matters is to do good in this world and respect others for what they are or believe. FYI no reputable fetish priest or pastor will ever attempt to 'produce' a dwarf or spirit for your amusement.

Anything with a name exists. It is unwise to challenge spiritual matters that one is ignorant of. The writer did not visit an honest spiritualist, so he cannot draw conclusions based on a shyster.

This guy is struggling with his conscience. If you are an atheist and so what? That is your believe. You see, atheists throughtout the world are fighting for recognition and this man is one of them.

My first visit to a Traditional African Shrine indicated that those people use statistics and probabilities to determine future outcomes. This is typical of those who worship KanKan Nyame and the Muslim Marabouts who claim they practise the black and white keys. They normally toss cowries, splitted cola nuts and other object and observe how they fall and the trend they follow. This tells us that the knowledge of statistics and probabilities has been with us from time immemorial.

My brother Juju and Witchcraft exist and mind you not all of them are fake. They all emanate from SATAN and the Bible has confirmed it.Why do you think most African politicians,Government officials,Customs officers,Police officers,managers etc still continue to consult juju men and mallams secretly and pretend they are christians? I cannot argue with an atheist but anyone who believes in the existence of GOD and believes what the Bible says knows that Satan exists.You went to the wrong place,my brother

A typical example is how so many people rush to get SIKADURO(JUJU money),some of them sacrificing their children and relatives.This evil practise started many,many years ago.Common sense tells us that people would have STOPPED going to seek SIKADURO if it does not exist,but why are people still bent on this satanic practise if it is not working for them.The Bible has confirmed the power of Satan.We are in the last days.

THE BIBLE NEVER SAID SIKADURO IS REAL.
JUST BECAUSE SATAN IS REAL DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN IMAGINE ANYTHING AND BELIEVE IT IS REAL.

MALARIA IS CAUSED BY MALARIA SPIRITS CALLED KAKASOKA? IF SOMEONE DISPUTES THIS YOU CLAIM THEY DONT BELIEVE IN SATAN? YOU CLAIM SINCE SATAN IS REAL KAKASOKA IS REAL?

THERE IS NO SIKADURO, NO DWARVES AND NO WITCHES.

Satan is a spirit and SIKADURO is spiritiual but malaria is not a spiritual disease.The power of Satan can be manifested in many ways.Don't be naive.

This is the difficulty with magical and supernatural claims - whenever they are put under scrutiny they evaporate and we're told, "oh, but the real thing is happening somewhere else".
Common sense unfortunately tells us nothing except about the desperation and gullibility of people.
Just because something is written in a book doesn't make it true but perhaps tells us about the ignorance of Bronze Age people on these matters.

What an expose. Africa owes you a debt of gratitude for your brilliant expose. Our people will be better of if we can get rid of the superstition that is contributing to our poverty and ignorance. Thank you Agomo.

Atanbire I would say you are ignorant of this world, infact I would say you are a baby yet being feed with milk. You just behaved like the man who read one book and thought all books are the same. If you really want proof just continue to be challenging the evil kingdom and you would really be visited one day. Atanbire whether you believe or not the fact still stands that we are in a physical and a spiritual world, and that most of the unseen are numerous. Continue, and don't stop here, the fact is also that you made a early conclusion, just as I said reading one book and making asumptions. If you do not believe in God that is your only unfortunate decision, every one is entitle to his believe, be there but the battle to know whether there are spirits or not is not ended, The believe in a supreme being called God is a choice. One day you would meet your match and the results may be you survive or not to tell a story.

i am always lost in words when i see or hear people boasting of being atheist simply because they cannot see or by instinct perceive anything existing outside the physical form.Do they see or think the many millions of people who believe are liars or jokers.I am not surprised anyway because there always has to be an opposition or alternative thinking or version to make complete the duality of nature. so as we have believers, there must be unbelievers.

Guys, stop fooling about with this idea of HUMANISM. As opposed to what? As opposed to NON-HUMANISTS? What nonsense! When people are spending their time writing about real African philosophy, African geopolitics, African theology and such, on Patapaa.com, you are busy deconstructing it.

Deconstruct religion, God, gods, spirits, dwarfs, juju, voodoo, etc., all you want. One thing you can’t seem to understand about life is the duality of it. There’s always going to be bad things happening. But there will always be good things happening as well. Everybody, and perhaps, yourself claim they are trying to do good.

Alas, it’s a claim. You are entitled to it, Religious fanatics, or religious nuts are equally entitled. Good and bad people are entitled to it as well. Good and bad will always occupy us. That is the world. You are not going to change that.

So allow people who want to believe in an outside power/spirit believe what they please. It’s called freedom. And they don’t have to prove anything to you. neither do you! And if you claim you are a humanist and that we are just biological organisms, then what do you care really?

Good for you. You must have time to spend on what doesn’t unite, what doesn’t motivate and you certainly have no clue how a people are born, how a community is built and how we as humans have evolved. You think you know, you are only 31, and you have long ways to go!

You did well by challenging this unscrupulous fetish priest. People because of poverty and lack of education have become so gaulible. It's not only the fetish priests but so called men of God are preying on desperate people. I hope not the fetish priests but also the so called men of God are also caught in their lies.The easiest way for people to make money is starting a church. I live in Toronto and if you take the Ghanaian newspaper there a thirty churches . How can that be? There are about 3 different Methodist churches. There is a church Bethel Prayer Ministry in Toronto. The guy started in Virginia, Alexandra in America. The pastor will go to some of the church members ask for their tithe from their homes. Sometimes he drove them to ATM to withdraw the tithe for him. Later the church members got to know his lies and stopped .Then he came to Toronto to start new church. There many false prophets cheating and manipulating people. Some of these quack pastors come from Ghana to give holy bath to women. They fondle them, sleep with them and charge as much as $50.00 per bath. Is ironic that in this day and age, people still allow themselves to be taken for granted.
