God is not Pro-Life

The Biblical God is NOT pro-life, he advocates child murder, infanticide, child abuse and abortion
I see so many Christians talking about abortion being a crime against God. It’s not a wonder that they are hard pressed to find a conclusive biblical statement to corroborate their position. In their determination to control women they have been forced to rely on exceedingly weak sections such as “thou shall not kill”,”I kneweth thou in the womb” and their favorite: “When men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that there is a miscarriage, and yet no harm follows, the one who hurt her shall be fined, according as the woman’s husband shall lay upon; and he shall pay as the judges determine. If any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth…“–Exodus 21:22-24 The problem here is that the man who injures a pregnant woman in the process, shall repay her according to the degree of injury inflicted on her, not the fetus. I am often dumbfounded at how Christians can assume that abortion is wrong judging by these feeble verses when the Bible clearly advocates infanticide and many other atrocities against children and pregnant women.

I can no longer allow such ignorance of the Bible and deem it necessary to expose the true agenda. I am tired of the many young Christians who are brainwashed by their clergy. They are only taught the “love and mercy” parts of the Bible and never bother to read what is not so openly preached . The Church thrives off of speaking in half truths and concealing their blood soaked robes. Of course my job as preacher of an Atheist parish is to give a sermon about those things that the Bible TRUTHFULLY commands. Here they are, god’s views on the unborn, the actions of righteous men” and god’s commands of infanticide and child abuse: (note-There are Torah verses in this list but I will not attack the Jewish faith for being pro-life since they are not rampant advocates of the matter.)

Abortion:

Hosea 9:11-16 Hosea prays for God’s intervention. “Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer. Give them, 0 Lord: what wilt thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. . .Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.” Clearly Hosea desires that the people of Ephraim can no longer have children. God of course obeys by making all their unborn children miscarry. Is not terminating a pregnancy unnaturally “abortion”?
Numbers 5:11-21 The description of a bizarre, brutal and abusive ritual to be performed on a wife SUSPECTED of adultery. This is considered to be an induced abortion to rid a woman of another man’s child.

Numbers 31:17 (Moses) “Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every women that hath known man by lying with him.” In other words: women that might be pregnant, which clearly is abortion for the fetus.
Hosea 13:16 God promises to dash to pieces the infants of Samaria and the “their women with child shall be ripped up”. Once again this god kills the unborn, including their pregnant mothers.
2 Kings 15:16 God allows the pregnant women of Tappuah (aka Tiphsah) to be “ripped open”. And the Christians have the audacity to say god is pro-life. How and the hell is it that Christians can read passages where God allows pregnant women to be murdered, yet still claim abortion is wrong?
Infanticide:
1 Samuel 15:3 God commands the death of helpless “suckling” infants. This literally means that the children god killed were still nursing.
Psalms 135:8 & 136:10 Here god is praised for slaughtering little babies.
Psalms 137:9 Here god commands that infants should be “dashed upon the rocks”.

The murdering of children:

Leviticus 20:9 “For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.”
Judges 11:30-40 Jephthah killed his young daughter (his only child) by burning her alive as a burnt sacrifice to the lord for he commanded it.
Psalms 137:8-9 Prayer/song of vengeance “0 daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.”

2 Kings 6:28-29 “And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow. So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.”

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 “If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.”

Judges 19:24-29 “Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing. But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go. Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, till it was light. And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold. And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place. And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel.” To put it very bluntly this poor, young lady was murdered by her mate for being raped.

Exodus 12:29 God killed, intentionally, every first-born child of every family in Egypt, simply because he was upset at the Pharaoh. And god caused the Pharaoh’s actions in the first place. Since when is it appropriate to murder children for their ruler’s forced action?
Exodus 20:9-10 God commands death for cursing out ones parents Joshua 8 God commanded the deaths of 12,000 men, women, and children of Ai. They were all slain in the ambush that was planned by god.

2 Kings 2:23-24 The prophet Elisha, was being picked on by some young boys from the city because of his bald head. The prophet turned around and cursed them in the Lords name. Then, two female bears came out of the woods and killed forty-two of them. You would think that God could understand that sometimes the youthful make childish jokes. Calling someone “bald head” is far from being worthy of death.

Leviticus 26:30 “And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.”
1 Samuel 15:11-18 God repents of having made Saul king since Saul refused to carry out God’s commandments (i.e., Saul refused to murder all the innocent women and children.) At least god realizes what an immoral, murderous pig he is on this one.
I Kings 16:34 Laying the foundation for a city using your firstborn child and using your youngest son to set up the gates.

Isaiah 13:15-18 If God can find you, he will “thrust you through,” smash your children “to pieces” before your eyes, and rape your wife.
Jeremiah 11:22-23 God will kill the young men in war and starve their children to death.
Jeremiah 19:7-9 God will make parents eat their own children, and friends eat each other.
Lamentations 2:20-22 God gets angry and mercilessly torments and kills everyone, young and old. He even causes women to eat their children.

Child abuse:

Genesis 22:9 & 10 “And they came to the place which God had told him of and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.” It matters not that god let Abraham get out of murdering Isaac. To put a knife up to your son’s throat is child abuse.
I Kings 3:24-25 “And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king. And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.” This test was of course given to see who the real mother of the child was. Christians view this king as a wise man. I look upon his suggestion with far more revulsion then I give accredit to Susan Smith.
Proverbs 13:24, 19:18, 22:15, 23:13-14 & 29:15 God commands repeatedly that you beat your children.
Matthew 19:29 If you really loved Jesus then he insists that you abandon your wife and children for him. Only that way will he allow you to go to heaven. (That is if you meet his other hefty requirements, don’t slip through the loopholes, and ignore the contradictions.)
Mark 7:9 Jesus criticizes the Jews for not killing their disobedient children according to Old Testament law.

In conclusion I shall end this list with a verse that should keep the pro lifers in check. It is Romans 13: 1-7

“Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which god has established. The authorities that exist have been established by god. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what god has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he shall commend you. For he is god’s servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is god’s servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. There fore it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience.

This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are god’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes, if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.”

Clearly it is the job of Christians to obey the laws, and the laws of this country clearly state that abortion is legal. So too should Christians respect and honor that law. God commands them to NOT disobey, which entails attempting to get the law overturned. If god wanted abortion to be illegal he wouldn’t have appointed authorities to make it legal.

Igbo People Of Nigeria (Benin)

By Osas Ayazuma
26 - 02 - 2016

Igbo is a corruption of the Edo word 'IGBON.' One Edo princess was raped by a Serspient half-human, half-ape. 

After she was raped, the people decided to isolate her, and see the outcome, she gave birth to twins-boy and girl, because of their appearance, the people called them IGBON. They didn't have friends, so the brother began to have sex with the sister, so they were chased away to go and settle away. It is like the ESAN, with different version, so is the Igbo, 

Ibo language. Rebels who later fled constitute the larger Igbo. The Igbon dynasty can still be traced till date, with the ape-like appearance. Odimegwu C. Ojukwu was a true Igbon, while Nnamdi Azikiwe traced is dynasty to Benin. 

That could explain, why Ojukwu wanted to kill Zik that time. Afra of Afia, migrated from Benin to a place now called OHA-AFIA or OHAFIA, he was a warrior who alongside his soldiers offered protection to business people. He didn't really rule over his soldiers as a King or Duke. Unless there's another Lord Afia or Lord Afra.

 The nursery rhyme go like "I am a farmer in my country Everybody know me well If you look me up and down You will know that it is true Sandalili (standard living) Sandalili (standard living) etc So a lot of words have been corrupted. The first Igbon were outcast, while other groups where either rebels, or seeking greener pastures. 

The Benin have been in existence for over 5,000years, to say that cola-nuts are grown by yoruba, sold by hausa and used by igbo is to undermine Edo.

 First Hausa cola-nut is called Gbagia or Igbagia while Edo uses Evbe. Igbo mixes their cola-nut with garden-eggs, which means their tradition must have been garden eggs until British came to enlighten them, just like the 1918 exposure of Yoruba kings to bear the title of Oba. The other guy said Obatala was the last Ooni before Oduduwa, was his name 

Oba TALA or Oba ATALA?

THE IHIEVBE (SEBE) AND OTUO PEOPLE OF OWANLAND

OUR SERIES ON THE EDOID PEOPLE CONTINUE TODAY...Our focus today is simultaneously on the Ihievbe( Sebe) and Otuo people of Owanland.

(1) IHIEVBE PEOPLE:

Ihievbe is a major clan in Owan East Local Government Area,in the northern part of Edo state, Nigeria. The clan has a population of approximately 50,000 people. Ihievbe has seven villages which are: Otua, Okhuame, Iyaba, Ugba, Emabu, Ekhueye and Owoe villages.

Close neighbours of Ihievbe include, Warake, Ivbiaro, Afuze, Otuo, Igue and Agor. The people speak Owan as the native language, and English as the common language. The people of Ihievbe are either Christians or Muslims, but like most African communities, there exist a few percentage of them that practices traditional religion. Their subsistence is mostly based on agriculture and animal husbandry.

According to Emmanuel Isuku, Ihievbe was founded by Oboh – the brother of uzuambi who was the founder of EMAI KINGDOM about 1478AD. Both Oboh and Uzuambi are children of Prince Imaa the son of the 1st Edaiken of Uselu-Crown Prince Kuoboyuwa the son of Oba Ewuare of the great Benin kingdom. Uzuambi or Oyaibi later had three sons- Owuno( Ovbiomu),Oruamen( Evbiamen) and Uulelekpen( Uule) who together with their uncle Uanhumen( Uanhumi) make up the Emai kingdom of present day Owan East local government Area. Their first abode was at Uokha( an older settlement founded by another emigrant benin prince-Omon).Due to some misunderstandings between Uzuambi and Oboh his junior brother,they parted: Uzuambi went westward and Oboh went northward to settle in ugbido (a place now between Ihievbe and Ihievbe-Ogben. Though they parted,the misunderstanding is not grave enough to erode the relationship between Ihievbe and Emai. Both are the closest allies in Owan. There is a saying in Owan" Aigbi Emai kpi Ihievbe( meaning,you cannot attack Emai and hoped to make Ihievbe as ally). Oboh had two biological sons: Ojabor – the eldest and Ojekpenkhare, and one adopted son called Ikhuohie. The descendants of Ojabor founded Otua and Okhuame villages. That of Ojekpenkhare founded Ivbiele (now called Iyaba), Ugba and Emabu villages. Ikhuohie’s defendants founded Ekhueye and Owoe villages.

Together, they lived in Ugbido, Otua village having the staff of authority which was used to name oba. Without the staff, the oba was powerless. In short, Otua village produced oba (ruler) from the beginning and they until this day begin the ugongon festival (a festival done by young boys ages 19 – 22 transiting into manhood) which lasts for four months (from December to March).

After several generations of living in ugbido, the Illorin yoruba and the Nupe warriors invaded the clan and its environs. Ihievbe people began to plan on how to live ugbido since it was no longer safe. The ije (chiefs) met to discuss on where to go. Otua suggested they should move northward while the rest villages suggest they should move southward. It came to a time when the argument became tough, the other villages and part of otua went southward while the other part of otua went north of ugbido and settled in the cemetery of Ihievbe. They were now called Ihievbe-ogben, meaning Ihievbe cemetery.

Though they separated, they kept relating with each other. Ihievbe-ogben was in possession of the staff of authority, so they chose and produced oba (kings).

A time came when Ikhua, an ukoh then needed the tributes of the rest villages of Ihievbe. He sent one of his ukor (messengers) called Okhai to go to Ivbiele and bring for him, their tributes. The ukor agreed to embark on the journey but brought to the notice of the oba that the people may not believe he was sent by the oba. In order for the people to believe the ukor, the oba gave him his staff of authority. Away to Ivbiele, Okhai went with the staff and never returned with it again. Instead, he married an Ivbiele woman who bore him four sons who were Uwadia, Ifa, Airuwujuan and Ore. The ukor named himself as ruler. Hence changing the oba dynasty to ukor dynasty.

The ukor confined on his four sons the royalty. These four sons now formed the four royal lineages in Ivbiele today. They rule today from Uwadia’s lineage (the eldest) to Ore lineage (the youngeast) and back to uwadia’s lineage.

The Ihievbe people despite the adulteration of Christianity and Islam in their ways of life are still largely benin people in practically everything. Language,culture,customary values,mores etc.

(2) OTUO PEOPLE:

Otuo is one of the major Clans in Owan East Local Government Area of Edo State, Nigeria. Located on Latitude: 7.00691 and Longitude: 6.00522 with Postcode (ZIP): 313107, Otuo is surrounded by a mountainous terrain with a climate comparable with that of a rainforest zone which promotes the growth and development of a very rich biodiversity. The natives are mainly involved in agriculture, weaving, pottery and blacksmithing.

Otuo is believed to have been founded by a group of Benin warriors by the Oba of Benin Kingdom when they had inter tribal wars. The Benin people build motes to prevent invaders from entering Benin city. They appointed 12 men to go to Edo north and get lumps of palm oil which they would pour along the motes to attract white ants which would prevent invaders from coming into Benin. These 12 men ran several errands for the Benin dynasty then, but with time, they saw the futility of the errands, and saw their continuous use in this manner as anti-ethical . So when they went on one of the errands, they never returned. They decided to make the place where there was abundance of palm trees their abode. That abode is present day Otuo.

These 12 men are believed to have formed groups and quarters like :Amoya, Ohigba, Oluma, Amoho, Olila, Orake, Obo, Uree, Imafen, Iyeu, Iziokhai, Ighera, Ugba etc. These quarters represents the twelve men from Benin. To decide the head quarter among the twelve, a contest was decided between Oluma and Olila. Both men were told to go to the market place to test their strength.
The test was for both to throw javelin and if it hit anybody,the thrower will pay for the injury or fatality: and if did not hit anybody, the thrower wins leadership of the clan. Oluma threw his javelin and it did not hit anybody in the first and only throw and he became the leader of the twelve quarters. Olila was not happy with this development because he was never given a chance to throw his javelin.

Olila eventually suggested that Obaship should be rotational, rather than being hereditary, among six quarters in Otuo. The other six quarters would be assistants. This arrangement was agreed on by all till date. The first Oba from Otuo land is Chief Akhiome from Oluma quarters.

Traditionally, the people of Otuo believe that people must not die early but live to be 80 years and above. If anybody die before the age of 80, the people of Otuo will consult their deity to see the cause of death. The deity is called Aremina. They would cut the hair,finger nails, and cloth of the deceased and take it to the deity to find out the cause of death.

There are many festivals in Otuo that includes Ohen and Oko. The festivals are normally done on market days known as the Ewo market day.

Women who have seven children in Otuo are called Ogbewe or Agbisi. There is a festival for such women which involve the use of pig.

Close neighbors of Otuo include Igwe-Oke, Ikao, Ikhin, Iru-Oke, Levbu-Ake, Igwe-Sale
