They gave RELIGION and TOOK everything away, even THEIR dignity

The distinction I am making here should help understand why practitioners of a religion can bring their religion to others, forcefully convert them to that religion, whilst NOT living out the ideals and morality of the said religion themselves. It was this distinction that made Mahatma Gandhi say “I like your Christ, but I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” I went on research trips to Burkina Faso in September 2023, and then to Kenya (Mombasa) in November 2023. One of the first things I experienced in Burkina Faso was the RICKETINESS of the taxi that took me from the airport to the guest house (Les Lauriers) where I stayed. The taxi reminded me of the taxis used in Ibadan twenty years ago — a city in Nigeria that is the largest city in West Africa. <a href="https://medium.com/@cathreaf/they-gave-religion-and-took-everything-away-even-their-dignity-0567e4effc98">Visit Now</a>
