THE article by Rev Can George Noel Enyagu of Wera, Soroti titled “Christianity couldn’t have been a forgery,†responding to my earlier one “Bukenya had every right to visit shrine,†December 24, 2004 was misplaced.
It has been written and recited many times into dogma that Christianity shed light from the Cross On Calvary Mathew 4:16 & Luke 1:79, but that is just half the story.
My article about the claimed superiority of Christianity over African traditional religious practices was not meant to undermine Christianity. It was to remind over-zealous followers like Enyagu to dig deeper into religious philosophy, particularly where dogmas and mysticism have been disapproved by science.
Yes, from research, I hold the view that Christianity is a forgery pilfered from the sacred books and system of Zoroaster of Persia, to invoke angels and devils in order to invent the infernal doctrines of the Original sin and eternal damnation.
Records show that there are forged Apostolic constitutions, Canons, Liber Pontificalis (Books of the Popes), Conversion of Emperor Constantine to Christianity, title deeds for empires, the letter of St. Peter, fundamental gospels and epistles of The New Testament, by which the Church of Christ perpetuated itself, usurped and consolidated power, and amassed vast wealth.
Actually, it is said even the acquisition of Rome was fraudulent because Pope Adrian I induced the founding of the papal states through the production of two documents, the Acts of St. Sylvester and the Donation of Constantine, which claimed that Emperor Constantine gave most of Italy to the papacy in the eighteenth century. It is known and accepted, for example, that the alleged birth of Jesus Christ, has been reviewed over time, and Christmas day of December 25, is now celebrated more out of convenience than otherwise stated.
These false documents of ecclesiastical power, spiritual and temporal, were designed to paralyse men’s minds to accept exploitation without caring or daring to question. Let it be known that only recently did some faiths permit their followers to independently read the Bible and other religious literature, otherwise they were supposed to be “instructed!â€
It is these purported works of apostles, especially of Prince Peter and Simon Magus compiled by Pope-St Clement of Rome that formed the basis for ecclesiastical legislation even as late as 1563, and some enacted into imperial laws.
Therefore, Enyagu’s importation of cult leaders Fr. Joseph Kibwetere, Sr. Ursula Kamuhangi, Sr. Credonia Mwerinde and Fr. Dominic Kataribabo of the 2000 Kanungu fame, does not arise. To the contrary, the Kibweteres purported to be leading their gullible followers, who had been imbued by Christian mysticism to sure ‘heaven.’
Had they questioned the validity of Kibwetere or infallibility of their teachings, they would not have ended the way they did. The constitution permits freedom of worship for all if it does not breach the law, and no one knew that Kibwetere intended to commit murder. Pious criticisms about beliefs other than modern religions are flagrant attempts to muzzle the mind and its liberty of inquiry and this must be rejected.
If Enyagu is not sufficiently informed by social and scientific inquiry, let him read about the great Greek philosopher Hipprocrates (460-377BC), the father of medicine, who said, “To know is one thing; merely to believe one knows is another. To know is science, but merely to believe one knows is ignorance.â€
Alternatively, he could read The History of European Morals and History of Rationalism in Europe (1869) by William EH Lecky. Hipporcates was the first physician to differentiate diseases and to ascribe them to different causes on the basis of accurate observation and common sense.
In his days, all sicknesses were considered as afflictions directed by the gods, and all curing was the monopoly of priests, the friends and favourites of the gods and possessors of godly lore. And, as the only physicians, the priests had great revenues and fine livelihood from offerings made by patients, who flocked for relief to the temples of Esculapius, which filled the ancient world.
Not knowing the Christian art of casting out devils, Hippocrates insisted on certain principles of science namely: “There is no authority except facts; facts are obtained by accurate observation; deductions are to be made only from facts.â€
While I agreed with Enyagu that science has not answered “all questions of life; they were not meant to do that.†Christianity, which is much older than science, never solved even the basics like ability to know that a woman and man have the same number of ribs.
Enyagu appears keen to merely believe as a man of the collar, but does not search for empirical evidence about collections in the bible.
The superiority of religion over science with regard to the church’s sacred “Resurrection Bone,†was disapproved by Vesalius, the first real surgeon, and no amount of mythical pontification can salvage it as Enyagu would want us believe!
