A Nigerian Yoruba chief stands up to the Christian and Muslim missionaries

Jun 16, 2010 12:02

Christian missionaries, especially of the dominionist/"Transformations" variety, love to claim that the spread of Christianity will dramatically reduce crime. But now a traditional Yoruba leader in Nigeria, Chief Kayode Idowu Esuleke, Baale Esu of Osogbo, is pushing back with similar claims for a return to the traditional Yoruba religion.

Baale Esu says: To eliminate crime, swear by Ogun, Esu or Sango )

I'd appreciate it if you would respect the "Brat Brigade" a little more. Not all teenagers such as myself are uneducated in Satanism. Sure, you probably have your reasons for not liking teenagers and I do not blame you old curmudgeon iconoclasts but you should be a little more open minded. It is not easy being a teenage Satanist especially in these times and having people I look up to criticizing me for becoming a Satanist doesn't help either. You probably don't give two shits about this message either but me writing it makes me feel a little more accomplished with the chance of you maybe reading this and changing your views on teenage Satanists. I am planning on moving to NYC when I turn 18 and meeting with other Satanists, so I take the criticism a little harshly.
