Christianity is pagan – Kobby One

In a thought-provoking conversation on Star Chat, Kobby One, a notable guest alongside Ama Papabi, fervently argued that Christianity has pagan roots. Drawing from the biblical account in Daniel chapter 2, he highlighted King Nebuchadnezzar’s decree to worship his god under threat of severe punishment. He further outlined a historical progression where the Medo-Persian Empire introduced Islam, Greece influenced Judaism, and the Roman Empire established Christianity.

Kobby One passionately contended that these religions were tools of control imposed on Africans by their conquerors. He asserted that the rise of African spirituality signifies a reclaiming of indigenous beliefs and wisdom that predate these foreign religions. According to Kobby One, the fall of the Roman Empire parallels the revival of African spiritual practices, suggesting a cultural and spiritual awakening.

In his closing remarks, Kobby One emphasized a controversial point: the concept of the devil as portrayed in these religions was a construct used to manipulate and subjugate Africans. He argued that the true ‘devils’ were those who introduced these religions to African ancestors, disrupting their original spiritual practices. His bold statements on the show sparked a lively debate on the authenticity and origins of religious beliefs in Africa, resonating with many who feel a profound connection to their ancestral roots.
