Would be good to hear and read more into Traditional African Religions and customs, this room seems to be for Arabs, Christians and Kemetologists which is fine but it gets a bit boring, especially when we're talking about a continent the size of America, Europe and 3/4 of China combined... our topics seem limited for a continent of that size.

Does anyone care to share some information, folklore, customs and so on from the continent? C.African brothas and sistas don't seem to talk much about their cultures I've noticed, can only get so much from a book and I find most of them never seem to be as in depth as I'd like, the best I've read on Traditional African culture and religion so far is Credo Mutwas, ''Indaba my children'', very few out there like that.

Would be good if people could post links, information on scholars and their works on the subject etc, know that RasRuben has a lot of info on religions and customs from the continent, a few book recommendations would be good... heard that a lot of caucasian people have been traveling to Uganda to learn about customs there...?

Black Lion, I am sorry that you do not take to kindly to me because of my stance on Christianity. I rather like chatting with you though.

And I am disappointed that you find this room boring. You would think that since you come here you could be a bit more tolerant. If I were to come to a room where the bend was African tradition I would be tolerant to be sure since I was trying to learn from being there either about the doctrine or to look inside of the adherents to learn of them.

Praises to you...

Keep up the great posts and know that there is a sister in Ohio that knows you know what you are talking about

if african tradition culture and religion was supreme then why was it disarmed so easily?

Don't have anything against you, or chiristians for that matter, its ignorance I can't stand.

This thread isn't about that, and your definition of ''supremacy'' is off. China took the land of Tibet, even though the peoples of China are/were Buddhist the communist regime tortured and massacred the monks and would have killed the Dali Lama if he didn't escape into India... theres a lot the monks could have taught the Chinese about civilization and humanity I'm sure, they just didn't have the tanks and artillery to fend off their aggressors and in many cases didn't want to fight back as it was against their religion... Is the military regime of communist China ''supreme'' to that of the monks? Is the culture they oppressed and attempted to obliterate somehow of less worth than the ''culture'' of communism with tour guides all too pleased to take visitors around ancient buildings and whos government now spends millions protecting ancient chinese (Buddhist) artifacts?

Even better, if Jesus was the son of god how did the Romans and Jews kill him so easily? .lol. The quote, ''Where's your god now?'' comes to mind.

Rule through chaos isn't rulership at all.

Please don't mess up my thread, if you want to talk about christianty there are plenty of threads where you can do so this thread is supposed to be about Traditional African religions and culture not christianity or islam... or Kemit for that matter unless anyone from Sudan is interested in sharing with us.

.lol. @ Fine1952. Its a shame that people feel as though they can't share. When people think ''african religion'' they start seeing carry on films and savages harrasing the moral standards of white people. Personally enjoy reading into cultures of all kinds, saddens me to see how others seem to think they can impose theirs onto others, worse when people can't seem to find respect for their own because of it.

my thread...kind of sounds familiar. have you ever asked a question out of context of "your" thread? have you ever made a comment out of context with "your" thread?

How many threads on here that have not as some point strayed from the original post because of interjections? no many, if any.

you simply get your panties in a wad when someone is able to stand up to your anti christianity rhetoric....

and he is one more instance....i would probably be a little undone by your puny little "where is your God now" comment.
but it just goes to show how little you really know about christianity.

as abd would say of the prophets he relishes so much in the bible...it was all told afore time. In Genisis 3:15, at Calvary the heel of the Lord of Lords was pricked my bredder.

My God in detail has prophesied how this world would end up. if you had the guts to read the bible you could see that.

I know where Jesus is, but do you know where all the talismanic impliments of what ever is?

You want to take a swipe at christianity and run and duck behind "focus on the thread".

Remember I am a mere farmer and you and fine are the "educated ones".

I don't dislike you or fine or anyone who comes against christianity. I understand what you feel. I was once there, but none of your brainwash, white supremacy rhetoric will move me from what I know is the truth.

If you welcome open dialogue then we can dance, if you want closed or controlled dialogue then you have the wrong person.

Bro. Meknow. This Is Black Federal Nationalist Again. ( Also Known to my Brothers/Sisters as Hebrew-32-Kush and Pharoah Israel ). Enough of Your Rhetoric About Anything and especially christianity. First of All You Need A Open
Minded Factual HISTORY COURSE. Just Reading what You have written here in this Forum convinces me of That BUT YOUR QUESTIONS ARE SINCERE.!!!
To start off with Go To Thread : African Translation of Biblical Texts And You and I Will Start Off From There with my Reply to Your Last Post. ( Anyone Else Can Join In But Your Questions, Responses and Assertions Somehow makes this An Issue Between You and I )

I have done as you asked....
