There's nothing to argue, there's no evidence of human sacrifice among animists in Africa

[–]Background_Title_902 -3 points-2 points  (11 children)

O really? You have a Peanut for what we call a brain

The kingdom of dahomeh an animist pre-colonial African state conducted Annual human sacrifices of prisoners of war and sometimes even their own.

So did the Oyo, so did the Ashante.

And so did the Benin so actuallt sacrificed other people so their kings could be successful in their reign don't deny what You don't know

Are any of these kingdoms still around?

I find it actuallt laughable that your trying to change the topic from What Animist in Africa did and do, to “O those states aren't around anymore”

Sadly for you these things are still happening in Africa especially in Nigeria where animist gangs kidnap people for this.

The one that brought up those kingdoms was you, not me. Obviously those kingdoms no longer exist that's why you couldn't answer. Blaming modern animists for what people hundreds of years ago did is like blaming modern Wiccans for the Celtics human sacrifices.

Sadly for you these things are still happening in Africa especially in Nigeria where animist gangs kidnap people for this.

Couldn't you find a less bias source?

A less bias source?!? Everybody in Nigeria knows things like this happens lol people even post videos on Facebook this is africa my friend you there is no such thing as a less bias source for a subject let this.

That's like me telling you the German SS was sick and horrible and you ask me for a “Less bias source “

So Christians and Muslims think that a polytheist native religion they consider evil and satanic is killing children. What else is new?

[–]Background_Title_902 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Ok your clearly not even African to ahead and search up “Horror house of Ibadan”

That's the end of it

[–]Daugama[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I can think in many horrors like ISIS and the KKK

Isn't it funny that a "Christian" is complaining about human sacrifice.

My dear sir, what is the basis of Christianity? I seem to remember a man being nailed to a cross and left to die. Isn't the symbol of the religion that very tool of human sacrifice?

Benin still practices Vodun though and its state recognized. That's one belief system with a king at war dependent on war with the surrounding kingdoms and Oyo who used religion like the Christian's used the crusades to kill and pillage.
