@ Charivan (16) ...... i just read wht u wrote above , word of God is everywhere as you stated ...hmmm .  listen i come from idemili local Govt , and even pastor Chris will never come to my own town and kill a snake , i will never tell u what will hapen to him . reason bcos God never ask you to kill those animals OR forbid those animals , God create everything and said i love what i created . Snake has done too many miracles in my own house , i'm not talking about outsider . i'm a witness . i don't need to give u the details , but be reassure that u will surely get what u ask for if you dare kill snake in my town . and again it doesn't mean that u r a Chineke child more than me or us . forget all this pretense and face reality . since i was born , we never kill snake  and it never hurt anybody , why would u question my belief ? it's our tradition and we loves it that way . fact .  .

my brother help me ask her.

You give your reasons why u no go fear kill Cow in IGBO land, to eat beefsteak u said,,,,
Pastor say his reason be snake be pest for house, snake be bad thing like, rat, mice, alligator, etc.... (do you send these animals on their and tell them go for bush???)
Why should it be special that he has to pay money because he murdered snake....
Conclusion : Everyone has his reasons......

Yes I read the whole topic I also read the part where it said "some community members marched to my house and accused me of killing their god." So as it was stated in the article why wont there be some questions raised as youre seeing in this topic of ppl saying "snake na God"? I guess you didn't read my previous comment where I said " I don't believe a snake is a God But he coulda just thrown it into the bush unless he was planning to eat it.. For God (heavenly father) gave humans the power and authority to kill animals as food. Also just because I asked that if 99% of Igbos are Christians (like someone commented here) then whats with the belief of snakes being a God. Christians can only serve on God whom is Jesus Christ. A God is the the one Supreme Being, the creator and ruler of the universe. Understood as Life, Truth, love, Mind, Soul, Spirit, Principle. A snake is not it. None of ya'll have even answered my question. And all this I'm saying doesn't make me a tribal bigot.

Show me how I was being tribal on Igbo ppl. Did I make an ignorant/insultive remark. I made a comment that true Christians can only serve one God and no other to the person that said 99% of Igbos are Christian. And I asked a question about how you can be Christian and also serve a snake as god.. So now ya'll think I'm being tribal becuz of that. Well that's your opinion too bad

And no, the question on how a Christian can serve God as in (Heavenly father) can also serve a snake as god was never answered

And everyone staying in a community is subject to the Customary laws of that community,are you aware of that???.Customary laws are laws based on the customs and tradition of a people.The pastor cannot be greater than the community that is harboring him.Even the bible warned that we should give to Ceazer what belongs to Ceazer and give to him what belong to him,what the bible was just talking about it that we should respect the customs and traditions of a place we find ourselves in,

Some people are not supposed to be here. Quarelling for nothing. My own point is that when one is in Christ, he is a new creature, old things have passed away. B4 now in my place, we don't kill Tortoise, we don't kill sheep, we don't eat Snail. But Christianity has changed all those things. Now I can eat Snail and nothing will happen. But Idemili people are also entitled to their own opinion and tradition. Its their tradition but they need to embrace Christ. Likewise other tribes. When I was in Benin, they have a whole lot of traditions, some are good, some are bad. So who am I to criticize anybody.
