1. Olódùmarè is not the christian god. Olódùmarè is simply the creator of all things in the Yorùbá world view.
2. Òrìṣà are not gods. Most Òrìṣà are primordial forces and messengers of Olódùmarè.
Olódùmarè is considered the source of all existence and unlike the abrahamic god Olódùmarè does not have a human-like ego, does not demand worship, does not judge through a lens of sin and damnation, and does not have a chosen lineage of people, “Israelites”.
The christian god is a way Middle Easterners interpeted the creator of all things and their culture and lineage developed a story around it. Which is why most of the story is about Israel and its people. It is their own and it was centred around them before it gained popularity.
Iṣẹṣe is our own way we understood the world. All over the world different cultures interpreted the unknown in their own way. The middle eastern versions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) are just the most popular.
We need to look at religion or spirituality as what it really is, a way humans understood the unknown, and stop looking at things through a black and white lens. I think once we respect these boundaries then we can all coexist peacefully.
All we are asking is for christians to stop calling Iṣẹṣe evil and demonising Yoruba traditions. Is that too much to ask? Make movies about your bible villains. 🙂
is there something in particular they give you people in church that substitute your brain and makes you incapable of reasoning? because I don't know how someone can be so ignorant and loud at the same time. those movies never denigrated yoruba spirituality like you claimed.
while I agree with agree some of the things you mentioned, your claim of being yoruba and not "worship (which is not even the right word) any orisa before the advent of abrahamic religions" is farce.
This topic is very deep, there is a cultural side to every religion, yes every, and there is a traditional side to it.
Yoruba is a race, an ethnic and tribe in Nigeria, Benin, Togo, even till Cuba, Ivory Coast and Brazil
Like other races, they have rights to practice a religion of choice or not to practice any by choice
Now there is a strong argument about traditions(religion) that are originally associated with Races this is where Isese and Yoruba comes in, we've been practicing this before Christianity and Islam came to us.
Now this is the reality, even in the ancient days, you can be Yoruba and not worship Sango, Ifa, Obatala and the other gods but must respect the tradition and culture of the land, it just means you won't be able to participate in some sacred things like iwuye, ijoye, ijoba ati beebeelo
lies you muslims tell yourselves 😂
what does ifa, that has been in existence for 10,000 years have to do with a foreign religion that's not older than 1500 years?
you people need to be calming down, because this systematic infiltration will never work 😂
When you were only trying to open a 1x1 m test pit to verify an hypothesis, and you find a pavement that looks like nothing documented to date... Ile-Ife for you! Always calling for more!
