@idueseniosocoj He could have said his point about God building without correcting Solomon... They always have to find way toMake it sound new and deep
Yvonne on Obado's case: I would have liked to see this treated as a double murder. There was a 7-month-old unborn child who also lost their life. Hopefully, we will evolve to a point where the death of an unborn baby is recognised as murder. Two lives were lost.

Anyone who believes the bible was used to enslave his continent has to be one of the dumbest dudes to walk the planet
The Bible was not used to enslave Africa. Slave traders used selective misreadings of the Bible to justify what they had already decided to do for economic reasons. There is a difference. A big one.
Slavery existed in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Arab world thousands of years before Christianity arrived on the continent. The Transatlantic Slave Trade was not a Bible project. It was a capital project.
The same Bible that slaveholders quoted was the primary weapon abolitionists used to end slavery. Wilberforce, a devout Christian, spent 20 years in Parliament fighting to abolish the trade. Harriet Tubman, an enslaved woman, used her faith as fuel to free hundreds.
The most prominent voices against colonialism and slavery in the 18th and 19th century were not atheists or traditionalists. They were Christians, many of them African Christians, who read the same Bible and concluded that slavery was an abomination before God.
If the Bible enslaved Africa, what do you do with the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, which has held the Christian faith since Acts 8, centuries before Europe was Christianized? Did Ethiopia enslave itself? Did the Bible oppress Axum?
The logic of βthe colonizers brought it, so it must be a tool of colonizationβ does not survive contact with history. The colonizers also brought Western medicine, railways, and the English language.
What actually oppressed Africa was not a book. It was guns, ships, economic incentives, political betrayal by local collaborators, and a global system designed to extract. The Bible was the costume worn by that system, not the engine driving it.
If someone uses a hammer to commit murder, the hammer is not a murder weapon. It is a tool that was misused. You do not throw away every hammer in existence. You hold the man accountable. Hold the slaveholders accountable, not the scriptures they twisted.
Rejecting the Bible because Europeans misused it is doing exactly what they want, surrendering your own ability to encounter truth because of what someone else did with it. That is not decolonization. That is just a different kind of intellectual captivity.
This is 2026, stop all this nonsense takes.
Read or just admit you prefer idol worshipping to the bible and stay there.
BREAKING: Kenya's Court of Appeal rules that abortion violates the child's right to life and overturns the decision of a rogue judge who had tried to legalise abortion!
This is a HUGE win in one of Africa's biggest legal cases ever.
Congratulations Kenya!
