It's not proper for the African to understand Christ as a non- African, non-Jew. It's like trying to understand something without a mind - something you seem to be doing!

If one is of a certain identity, then truth can only be achieved by understanding from the native perspective.

Christ is comprehensible from a 'native' African world view. And if he's worth the light and salt, then the African is all the better off!

You mean the same history Napoleon spoke of? . The one that almost always conveniently leaves out the Biblical historical record?

If the human mind can't know anything meaningful then there can be no communication. No obedience, no existence.

As for the hair on my head, I can only approximate just as I can approximate the number of people in Kenya. Or I can also have no hair on my head in case I've just been shaved 'Njorodan'.

Yes, I can say with certainty that God said 'Let the earth be!'

I said it before. This guy just zooms through concepts. Gives the impression that there is substance underneath, then jumps to his already set conclusions. Ask him to answer a specific question and he will hit back with a demand that you write a thesis. What flawed dogmas of science is he talking about?

Your assault on science is rhetorical. If I may ask, should diabetics throw away their pills or should cancer patients abandon their chemo because mugundaman considers science unpersuasive? What fails you is reason - really lack of it. You cannot defend a position without resorting to combative rhetoric. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them. And as Thomas Jefferson put it, 'Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions,'

Exactly my concerns since as regards the items you have listed above, i have a choice and they dont have a problem with my freedom to chose. Yet when it comes to religion, i have to follow only 'theirs' and have even branded 'my' religion names. That is where i part ways with Christianity.

Very true. The british govt first sent missionaries (late 1890s) to study and pacify the nyeuthi to make it easier for colonial administrators to conquer and rule us. The missionaries were effective in carrying out a religious and cultural revolution whereby mwafrika denounced the God of his forefathers that he had worshiped for thousands of years and also abandoned his culture and adopted the mzungu version of God and culture. All humans believe in a supreme being whom they worship in different ways. I believe it is the same God, whether you call him Ngai, Nyasaye, Holy Trinity, Allah etc. Mzungu shouldn't have trashed the way we worshiped the supreme being. He should ave respected us the way he respected the arabs, Indians, chinese, japanese etc in their worship.

weee @Mugunadaman... no one really cares... we are done with this sh*t of scaremongering... we were subjected to this shit when we were growing up - it scares us no more...

You are still stuck in the "peer-reviewed journals DICTATORSHIP" mental paradigm?

I once took a graduate class and asked a simple question to the very brilliant (by the world's standards) professor and to the class as well. I asked why is there a serious disconnect between "scientific" research and solutions to very basic world problems? That is, despite all the so-called brilliance of Harvard, Oxford and allied researchers, world problems (and diseases) continue to compound each year. As he began to mumble a response I followed with a possible answer. Could it be as a result of the "peer-review dictatorship?" He looked at me stunned and puzzled at the same time, words escaping him as I continued. The peer-review mechanism basically recommends several basic things:

--1.) You only quote "us" and no one else. Not even a newspaper that is explaining to you what is going on in the world around you! Even if you are seeing it with your own eyes!

--2) Even when you quote "us" you CANNOT introduce any radical ideas different from "ours" if you do, we fail you automatically! Just introduce slight variants of what we have said and say it in a way to please "us"

--3) You must think like we think. Reason like we reason, or else! Questioning fundamental dogmas of the Science we worship is a complete no no. ESPECIALLY any inquiries on the (hopelessly flawed) dogmas of empiricism and its peculiar methods!

--4) Anything you publish must and will be reviewed by us so BEWARE. Follow 1, 2 and 3 above OR ELSE!

Is it any wonder then that so-called "research" that comes from such a dictatorship of minds is so far removed from reality and never truly "solves" major world problems even when "applied"?

This is how you end up with bizarre dogmas being crammed down people's throats in the halls of academe by nutcases like Freud who said Apricot subconsciously wants to screw his or her mother (or father)(Oedipus/Electra complex) and that this directs your every waking move! And you wholeheartedly swallowed it hook, line and sinker like a rat going down a cat's throat because it came in the verbiage of peer reviewed journals! . Yet even a simpleton with half a brain can see that this is unfiltered nonsense. Give us a break!

This cliche argument is very bonoko.

Mzungu did not need Christianity to subjugate us.

The British colonial administrators and the missionaries(even those from Britain) were never really friends.

The Christian faith reached the British, Irish, Italians just as it reached us. It didn't originate there!Our neighbours the Ethiopians were Christians before the British!
