Sikiza hapa, na nitakuambia tena na tena, Ngai, according to us, is the same God of the Christians, the Hindu, the same Allah, the same Mulungu, the same Enkai.

Hapa wacha we agree to disagree. What about Artemis of the Ephesians? Baal? Dagon? Personal gods?

The biggest issue in Christianity is the rise of nominal Christianity. People who don't really belong but still want to stay within. Jesus was another fundamentalist if John 14:6 is anything to go by.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Hako kamungu ka PCEA peke yake ndiko I have hard a very hard time trying to understand....the same way I fail to understand kale kamungu ka Al Shabaab na Guru. Yours is intolerance, the same that afflicts cultists, fundamentalists and religious terrorists.

One question: Do you consider yourself tolerant?

You are not a Muthuuri wa Kiama, so why all the yapping on matters you understand nyet about? I pinpointed in particular because you have been making preposterous claims nonstop.
Should PCEA, in similar fashion ask that a non-Presbyterian like you keep off this issue which has to do with a memo from PCEA to its members?


Wachana na wazee, na Kanisa wataenda tu......who are you to JUDGE?
Tuliwachana kitamboo ukaturudisha. Wamekaribishwa ndivyo waelekezwe kwa njia ya Ukristo. No fines at all.

In the fullness of time it might even turn out that religion, is just but a clever, mind-controlling fallacy to keep the poor man hopeful and in check.....and spirituality, a side effect of being a rational being who is yet to make some scientific breakthroughs to understand that which he doesn't......
Will these religions include Gikuyu religion?

After writing the posts on ngomi earlier this week, I received a few inboxes from ladies, who shared their experiences on this subject. Following advice from adherents and a few programmes on radio, the ladies had been convinced that taking this route would be the solution to some challenges they were facing. And so they went to see the athuri, who deal with these traditional spiritual matters.

All was going on well until it reached a point where besides being told which goat to give for cleansing and which clothes never to wear (trousers), they were also informed that they needed to pay karìko ga cúcú (getting circumcised).

Now, this is the part that becomes completely annoying. What would make a sane person living in the 21st Century believe that mutilating a woman’s genitals would be the solution to an illness or a social challenge? One of the propagators of this primitive practice explained to me that in Kikuyu culture, how this is usually done cannot be described as FGM because unlike in other communities, Kikuyus don’t cut deep. But I will still ask, what purpose does any form of these cuttings serve?

It is a fact that FGM is creeping back in Kikuyu land in the name of culture and religion and we should not keep quiet as this happens, otherwise history will judge us very harshly. Meanwhile I understand that according to these particular traditionalists, a circumcised man should not hold a baby or enter the kitchen. I will also describe this as primitive and here is my reason; culture is not static. It changes to adopt to the times. See, because of the way society was set up is days gone, in any Kikuyu homestead the man stayed in his thingira while the wives had their own huts. The wives would bring food to the man, so in this case there was nowhere him and the kitchen interacted.

But now, put things into the context of a modern family, where a man and a woman live in a 2 or 3 bedroom house, with 2 or more children; where both the man and the woman have jobs and where both of them have travel for work assignments. Does it mean that the husband will be confined to the bedroom because he shouldn’t enter the kitchen or the sitting room where he may be forced to interact and hold the babies? And what happens if the woman travels for work? Will him and the children die of hungry since he can’t enter the kitchen even to warm food?

I saw a certain man say something will happen to me by 30th of this month for insulting ngomi (not sure how I insulted them). But you see, you can’t gag us from asking questions by selling us fear. We are not buying it.
