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!

There you have it, fellow Africans. The bible-peddlers are going around the


world, disturbing our peace\sleep to tell these lies they claimed were


inspired by God! This is just a small part of the mountain of lies and


contradiction contained in the christian 'Holy Book.' What do you make of it?





We have to believe that it was inspired by God that Jesus was immaculately


conceived, yet we have to believe that, according to God inspiration, he was


a descendant of king David! Careful readers would have noted that Jesus


ancestry ended up with both Solomon and Nathan. For Christ sake, these two


men were brothers, from the same father. How could an inspired work claimed


that Jesus was the son of David through Solomon, and also claimed that he


was through Nathan, Solomon's brother! Does the word exist in any language


you know to express this contradiction?
