He has a point
It is highly inefficient and one remembers that one reason to maintain inefficient systems as inefficient is to make sure it only works in favour of certain people while excluding others.
My unpopular opinion/hot take on elections in Nigeria is the the PVC is an instrument of voter disenfranchisement specifically targeted at Southern Nigeria.
It shouldn't exist. The only reason it exists is to make voting as difficult as possible for southern Nigeria.

Being Nigerian forces you to be a materialist in some fashion.
For instance, one is supposed to care more about making money than about ideas or thinking in general. Thinking is only valuable to that end.
This is because of most people's precarious economic situation

Ayra Starr's take on "Karma" in the same named song is interesting.
She doesn't ask that Karma give her former lover the pain he gave out. She asks that Karma give her back the love she gave him.
She asks Karma to be her lover.

A truly progressive or inclusive Christianity will have to be functionally polytheist (that is, recognise other people's Gods and respect them), will have to reject prosyletism, and the rhetoric of demonizing other people's Gods.

Art is War.
Because creation is War.
To craft stubborn matter requires strength and fire. You have to cut and beat.
Ogun crafts the rocks that will guide rivers. Such don't budge easily. The end product is that which displays love for those the river will feed.
Ogun has so much stories on his pursuit for love, that you wonder why an orisa of war, blacksmiths, & hunters would care so much about being loved.
But then you realize that he also sees over poets, writers, artists, and those who create from the heart. Then it makes sense.

Or, as Bell Hooks put it, men are "socialized" out of any affirming masculinity and into a negative one of domination and self/society imposed loneliness.
There is a deep sense in which many of us men think that to be a man is to be alone, and everything around us "confirms" it

Yh, DBH is right
You can love your neighbor
But you can't love your neighbor *as yourself* and believe in eternal hell.
If that love has any meaning, there is no heaven that their absence will not spoil and destroy whatever bliss you seek there.

There is no ethical future for Christ-worship that is not genuinely pluralist (not just ecumenical).
This includes ceasing all conventional Evangelicalism and "missions".
Evangelism is bad. We should stop it.
What opinion related to church or theology gets you this reactions instantly?
Biblical inerrancy is one of the worst ideas ever to infiltrate Christianity.

Once again, to say "God does not exist" is a contradiction in terms for classical theism.
It is equivalent to saying: the principle of existence does not exist
Or
The absolute is not Absolute

As bad as the Nigerian education system is, please, still go to school. Try your best.
Even the certificate is worth something. Apart from schoolwork, there's the people you meet, the skills you may learn.

I'm at the chapter on African Traditional Religions, and it comes to mind how one tactic used to "sanitize" Christianity's spread in West Africa is to emphasize that many missionaries were not physically violent, that Christianity was not "imposed".

The overwhelming number of philosophers throughout history were religious.
The first philosophers in any culture are typically religious.
Their speculations, metaphysics, and sciences, arises within a religious context and were usually motivated by religious questions.
Can’t be well grounded in Sociology/Psychology and/or Philosophy and still be a religious person
Unless your head no just correct normally
I also don’t know any super Logical person that is also Religious.

DBH basically argued (successfully imo) that America remade the Christianity on its shores in its own image. Popular Christianity has had commercialising traditions, but American evangelicalism is a new level. Ofcourse, as the world's hegemon, it exports this model everywhere.

On this Adam and Eve discourse (again):
We need to recover the sense in which the spiritual and "Symbolic" meaning is MORE REAL than the "historical". Thus, thus to say that Adam is real and is each of us, all of us, Nous, etc, is a STRONGER affirmation than a "historical" Adam

"Plotinus argues that even if there is a God who, as a “natural” matter, either rules or even creates the other Gods, this does not affect the “nature,” so to speak, of being a God. Plotinus warns against reifying such a hierarchy as an intelligible structure.

Translation: Someone is experiencing life and finding their evangelical worldviews does not begin to capture the complexity of the world, and rightly rejects it.
Sounds like a good thing to me.
People turn away from Christianity because they love their sin more than they love God.

Theology is my escape from physics, from its monotony and dryness. Not that the I still don't love the latter, it's that without the perspective and breath of fresh air from the former, the latter becomes a heap of equations and phenomena without purpose.

We should attribute Proclus's penchant for ascribing every principle to this or that God not to irrationality and excessive fear of the unknown, but to the rationality of his belief in the statement "all things are full of Gods", and to the superabundance of Goodness it implies.

But uhhh... The Greek Gods are perfect, and were considered to be perfect.
You'd only consider them imperfect if you read today's popular myths (many of which weren't taken as "scripture" or restrictive revelation and had many variations) as crude literal facts.
How persistent it is, this demand that our gods be perfect. The Greeks were much more reasonable about such things.

There is a hypocrisy in Christianity whenever the Greek Gods are brought up. It's one that would ignore the traditions of the people whose Gods they're talking about while ignoring the fact that Christian myths are just as problematic if we read them the way we read Greek myths.
But uhhh... The Greek Gods are perfect, and were considered to be perfect.
