Idols of the 21st Century


Man needed a representation to satisfy his beliefs of the existence of the higher powers which most call God, others call gods, universe and deities.
Before the introduction and imposition of foreign religions on the black race, we had our beliefs, our spiritual practices and idols that made us conscious of the fact  that there exist unseen forces regarded to be the higher powers.

Man since the beginning has always had a representation of what links him to the unseen higher forces which the white man calls idol worshipping.

The fact and point of this whole research is that man cannot do without believing in and on an object that links to satisfying his beliefs of the unseen God.

Even the so called civilized religions have created rooms to abhor idol worshipping. Objects such as handkerchiefs, olive oil, water etc are believed on for miracles when prayed upon by so called "Men of God" The truth is that they work when man believes in them simply because when man's faith is tied to these items/idols, it evokes the intervention of the higher powers.

Man cannot do without idols. No one has seen God, so man needs a representative item (idol) to make him conscious of the fact that God exists and can be felt through their beliefs in idols.

I do not challenge a system that works. If it works, it cannot be wrong.
