But the truth is the truth no matter how simple or hard to bear, and it cannot change and cannot remove, no matter how forces oppose. What shall establish truth, who shall champion it? Only truth shall reveal itself, and her children will struggle for her. The truth will bear fruit, while the false be justified.

'AFRICAN literature' is primarily none existent. And uses spoken word oral tradition and symbology. As not to be ties down or "bound" religiously to one rigid outdated understanding. And ALL the texts you mention are newcomers. They don't represent any significant portion of the history of spirituality within places like Africa. For me brother. Abrahamic ideology and Western ideology need to be free'd from the minds of I people

'AFRICAN literature'is primarily none existent. GARVEYS AFRICA, you are wrong once again, and then you argue. Today, there are many sorces of authentic african literature if you care to find. Let me help you with one; http://yamumbi.com/

Then there are so many books by african writters about their own indigenous oral traditions, you will be suprised. What I find facinating about most of these diverse sorces, african, bible quran, vedas etc is their similarity and agreement, of which Sellasie I once spoke of.

And what we will also find is that wisdom and Truth are archetypal and ageless, hence, repeated over and over again in mythologies from many different cultures throughout history (e.g., wisdom from ancient African cultures has been carried forward and otherwise reproduced to some extent in the "newcomers").

Example, cesarean sugery, where both mother and child survives, has been practised by the Baganda in Uganda, the Pearl of Africa, from tradition times, is a gift to mordern science.

Nobody is talking about story books or science books You made mention of the BIBLE QURAN THR VEDAS and then said "AFRICAN literature" because you couldn't think of the name of any specific literary text of ancient African religion that could compare so you broadly just said "AFRICAN literature" but clearly the context was SCRIPTURE or ancient / semi ancient religious text. And this largely doesn't exist as USUALLY spiritual beliefs within ancient Africa to before the latest 1000 years was carried and passed through the generations by ORAL TRADITION. Sure there are texts but I didn't say there wasn't I said the majority, as there are MILLIONS of spiritual systems produced by Africa since mankind first come bo'yah The fact you can name the BIBLE the Qur'an and the Vedas but cannot name a comparison within ancient African culture is testimony to what I am saying. We really don't have to debate this Give thanks Infact technically the Biblical scriptures originated and were found within the African continental plate but I'm not going there....

I only mentioned what Ive come across, yet from all that Ive mentioned, there is harmony, which I have found.

Blackman is the Original man, even the vedas confess. Mama Africa has been robbed off her literature by Alexander the Greek, Publius Cornelius Scipio then Julius Caesar the Romans, Napoleon of France, then Musolini of Italy and his contemporary european colonizers, such as the king of Belgium .... What remains was what I offered, the rest Oral Tradition is for I and I to know. Am a red blooded indigenous black african. Proud of I and I fathers and forefathers and their struggles, and I and I mothertongue where there is counsel. I and I got the History and Heritage. Melanin finds the faithless unworthy to bare the banner of RasTafarI.

And gaveys africa quoting frim your first post,. these stories these histories and these ideology are NOT exclusive to the bible. Bible teachings (the ones worth paying attention to) are found anywhere and almost everywhere with an ancient past, especially Africa. the reason I personally burn bible is because - I was given it and told it was the perfect word of god. yet it gives no credit and reference to the sources the root sources from. which much of its ideology comes. this is plagiarism. And because we still believe it is the unshakeable transcript of gods word.... Now you say 'AFRICAN literature' is primarily none existent. And uses spoken word oral tradition and symbology. As not to be ties down or "bound" religiously to one rigid outdated understanding. And ALL the texts you mention are newcomers. They don't represent any significant portion of the history of spirituality within places like Africa.
