[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] [IMG]http://harry.enzoverder.be/cats/funny-pictures-captain-obvious-cat.jpg[/IMG] No I mainly see repetition of the obvious as if you "discovered" some point. As for you "hurting" me, dude, please. Hold that nonsense. Telling me about "the rest of Africa" is another example of your Captain Obvious approach. It is already obvious that Christianity was substantially spread by the colonialists, particularly in West/Central/South Africa. That was never at issue. But keep in mind that there are huge parts of Africa from Morocco to Carthage to Libya that where the faith took hold, WITHOUT needing any white colonialists to "impose" it. The Coptic area is only a small one when Africa is considered overall. What is at issue with lamin, which you conveniently skip over, is (a) the shaky notion that early African Christianity is mostly confined to the Copts -(I pointed out that it is not), (b) the notion of sweeping imposition across the board- when in fact the core doctrines of Christianity are what most African Christians practice. The message and printed Bible was brought to West Africa by colonialists, but they brought the core doctrines that the Christians of the Sudan and Ethiopia practiced from the early times. Doctrines such as the resurrection are not "white" doctrines. Many Africans already embraced them before white people showed up. In fact the new faith spread quite willingly in many parts of Africa, even as it does now in the modern era. It does not merely exist as an "imposition" as lamin claimed. Nor (3)were said Africans necessarily "peons and serfs" - to accept the faith- another point at issue I questioned lamin on. Again keep in mind that Christianity was a fact on the ground in Africa from end to end in the north- from Morocco to Carthage to Egypt- and on into the Sudan and Auxum/Ethiopia. Here again, the notion of white colonialists "imposing" Christianity outside the Coptic area doesn't hold up. At one time, Christianity was in place from coast to coast in Africa, in a broad stretch of the continent OUTSIDE Coptic Egypt, and long BEFORE northern Europeans showed up to allegedly "impose" it. [b]those people still had/have their own sets of religious beliefs before their conversion to christianity or islam. As all African populations do... All African populations are their own people with their own history, their own culture, their own sets of beliefs, etc. Yes, there's a lot of similarities but also a lot of differences. [/b] ^^You mean to tell me that African people have their "own history, beliefs etc?" Wow. Blinding insight, indeed. [b]I sincerely hope you understand my point of view better now. [/b] I have no problems with things not at issue, and yes of course Africans have their own adaptations, and their own traditions, beliefs etc. Of course. But I did not understand this statement of yours above. You say: [b]Jewish people only imposed their religions to their own people -there's only one god and his name is Yahveh- which is bad by itself. In reality, each populations have their own knowledge and name for God.[/b] As already asked, why would the Jewish name for Yahveh be "bad"? And if the Jewish "Yahveh" be bad, why isn't the Yoruba Supreme God- Olodumare/Olorun/Olofi "bad" or named manifestations thereof, be "bad" as well? [/QB][/QUOTE]
