Had the Bible remained a folk tale...

Lung'afa: Brothers, the Bible had it remained a historical fable account and not a religious imposter I could regard the writers in a good shade, taking their flaws as pieces of imagination and literary exaggeration. I have read the Bible from cover to cover, no monkey business and it is good a novel sometimes a lesser one to other high ranked literaries.

Lung'afa: Our grandfather's had no strong religious heritage which the coming of Jesus easily took them unawares as they thought it was a passing idea. Alas, our fathers became 'shepherds' and guardians! Now the grandsons, most of us unaware of the religious practises of our great great grandfathers, have fallen victims to interpreting the Bible as our saviour. We but lack knowledge of our language and if you tasted a pinch of it you would throw all these   externals through the windows. With love

Mudengani Kisia: It's good to preserve our language and culture, but as I said earlier let matters of religion be a matter of individual conscience. We can not become sorcerers in the name of preserving tradition. To have some knowledge of how our forefathers used to worship is also good. But should we get deep into it when we already have gotten new light? It's a different age all together, and change is dynamic.

Lung'afa: Well spoken and it should be extended to all others that you should not be afraid to challenge your beliefs. Who knows, you would not be susceptible to world tossing if your mama and papa gave you that Old time Heritage.
