The typical Christian response to pieces like this is, “not everyone who says he or she is a Christian is of Christ”, or words similar to that effect. But at the heart of these ‘believers’ is a missionary zeal born out by their arrogance and disrespect of other people’s values.

One Christian tactic often used is to go through indigenous values to draw from the silliest interpretations in an attempt to invalidate them. Of course, they don’t like it when others show the silliness in their beliefs. They don’t admit that the power behind the spread of their beliefs was/is brute force/murder, and not benevolent deeds.

Missionaries are generally characterized by their unwillingness to learn about other people’s values, unwillingness to respect people’s right to operate as they choose, especially when other peoples’ cultural ways clearly do not infringe on the rights of others. When challenged on this, they usually give distorted interpretations of other people’s values in an attempt to discredit them. They can always argue that people do the same with Christianity, but they fail to acknowledge when people condemn Christianity, they usually have real experiences and a living testimony of abuses, all done in the name of their ‘one book’.

Try telling them that KRST was a natural state in the development of individuals (although different cultures have their own terms for that state, and various other states of consciousness), and was a part of most indigenous African cultures before people were plagued with Arab and European/Christian violence and elitism. Try telling them the oneness of KRST is the common truths that people realize when they raised their consciousness. Try telling them that each person is his or her own savior in their own right (although they need help from others). Tell them, and see how blasphemous they find these very old but true ideas.
