Slavery and Colonialism Were The Purpose of Christianity

Slavery and Colonialism: The Purpose of Christianity - The Religion of the Oppressors

| Ikenga - Igbo Deity |
I was born into a Christian family (Methodist) while my secondary education was at a Methodist college. As you can see, I was brought up as a Methodist.
Though my father practised Christianity it was not the religion of his father. My grandfather practised Ome N’ala Igbo (Igbo traditional religion).
Then, why didn’t my father and his generation follow the religion of their fathers? The answer is simply that the British colonialists asked them not to.
The British brainwashed them into believing that any religion other than Christianity was and is still – idol worshipping.

Owl: A Satanic Bird or A Beautiful Bird?
Africans and Igbo people of west Africa in particular, believe that Owls are satanic birds. The main reason why they have this belief, in my opinion, is because Owls operate at nights. Moreover, the sight of a bird that can turn its neck 270 degrees, can be very scary.
