There is such a thing as syncretism, whereby people simple replace one religious symbol with another and continue the same rituals.

Jesus the Christ is surely coming back soon, but definitely not by your calculations because you're not God.
Christianity should not necessarily be assessed by the example cited in the writeup. It may even be unbiblical.

Rather by knowing the word and living by it.
Remember, man's unbelief in Christ, apart from being counted as sin does not change God's nature or plans.

I like your comparison and every thing about your article. We all believe there is God but no one know the truth. Christians believe in the second coming of christ, yet the stipulated time had pass and we have not seen any sign of that. Ghana was peaceful, I mean crime was very minimal when there was no Christianity and to the era when Christianity has not fully gain grounds. But today that we have abandon the calabush for the pulpit, crime has increase to its astronomical level. Today that 90% of Ghanaians have accepted the merciful God, kalabuley, 419, corruption has been come the order of the day. A thing the Christian book speak against. The sad news is that all this things are synonymous in the Church room and cannot be separated from the Church. Say it and you are label a devil. The sad truth is that Gold is always absent in the Christian Church. The Church which suppose to be a temple of God is now empty structure of self seeking men. The Church is now cocoa plantation and pasturing the lucrative business of the day. God Bless Ghana.

...until the foolish black man gets the message! Religion has been imposed on us for so long it has become like another leg or arm on our body, we just can't envision living without it, it will kill us. What can we do to tell the black man that it is ok to sever off this cancerous appendage that was brought to him by the white man for controlling and subjugation purposes? Black people, open your eyes and use your flipping heads to emancipate yourselves from all forms of religion, you will keep on praying and praying and praying and nothing will happen. Just look around you, everything is in decline yet the people responsible, from the minister to the messenger, are praying for some god somewhere to come and solve their problems. Go to the advanced and rich countries, it is the complete opposite of what we in Africa do and the results are quite startling. So Louis more grease to your elbows with such publications, keep drumming the message home. Nboa!

It was unheard of to insult elders, steal fowls, millet, pepper, yam etc at my village or sleep with girls outside. See, now when you succeed in stealing from office or Government, it is called 'break through'. My grand father who took in a stranger, whose children are now part of the family and people do not even know can not go to Heaven because he did not hear of Jesus or Islam. Anyway, everything African is bad. Elder Tosh put it succinctly. I don't know if they have already been to heaven and so can do bad.

Europeans came to Africa with three goals. To colonize us politically through warfare, cripple us economically through free labor and by brainwashing us not to remember that we once had a God. Our struggle for self-rule was to reverse all three. But that has not happened. Even though we have achieved our political independence, and are working on our economic independence, we have completely abandoned our struggle for religious freedom. Think about this. Ghana have been 57 years old. Name me a Traditional Holiday that our Traditionalists too can call their day to observe? This is an article that deserves praise.
