Yes im full somali

My grandparents used to work in a missionary in somalia, my great grandparents were converts.

I dont keep up with politics as much as i used to but i do believe we are better off than we were a couple years ago.

Are you a practising Christian?

When did you arrive in the US?

Roughly how many Somali Christians do you think there are in the world?

Do you interact with Muslim Somalis? If yes, do they know you're Christian and does their attitude change when you're around them or if you tell someone who didn't know?

What do you do for a living?

Welcome my Christian friend.

As you can see, Somalispot was celebrating Christmas with you. Direct your attention to the top of the forum where you will find a Santa hat.

Somalispot is opposed to Somalia criminalizing celebrating Christmas.

 

[Amira-chan]

My second name is somali, most Christian somalis have somali names

Do you speak Somali?
Are you planning on spreading Christianity in Somalia?
What's your opinion of the Christmas banning?
Do you eat pork a lot?
What's your opinion on the dominant Muslim Somalis?

Practicing? Not really as much now im older but we did the church stuff when i was younger

I came late 80's i was about 7 or 8

I believe theres quite abit most fled somalia and are spread out people personally ive met alot of somali christians in the us not including converts, since back in somalia we were a close knit, most of us are in the US since alot of missionaries were American

Most dont care or dont realize im not muslim, others probably think im a athiest however it doesn't come up much when im around other somalis. You wouldn't know untill i told someone

Yes

not really i believe in equal rights for everyone

I think you should be able to practice your religion freely

No i dont like pork never did

I view them the same as everyone else, i have muslim cousins family we get along

 

[RedStar]

@Gabriel cool, thank you for answering my questions. Goodnight Jibril.

 

[Bahal]

I don't mean to be rude, but it feels so alien tbh

A Somali Christian?

 

[ded]

[TibetanThug]

as in bantu ? Nope

I don't mean to be rude, but it feels so alien tbh

A Somali Christian?

Im actually suprised there wasnt more on this site, we mostly in non somali populated cities me being the exception which explains why you haven't ran into one

 

[Shamis]

I'm sorry that you got sucked into the original death cult by accident of birth. Please consider the probability that there is no God.

 

[Bahal]

No I've seen one actually, I just mean its so alien and different. Our resistance to colonial Christian proselytizing and their culture unlike the rest of Africa with their Johns and Francois' was a point of pride.

Did you ever doubt Christianity before?
What religion/ideology are you more interested in now? Buddhism, Atheism or even back to Islam?
Do you still eat Canjeeo and other Somali cuisines?
Do you have a pet dog?

 

[Bielsa]

Do you go to African American churches?

Do Somalis have a church in your city/state?

I don't wanna be rude but I hope you realise one day that God doesn't exist and religion is a fraud.

Mixed id say

Yes my local church youth counselor was Christian

 

[Shamis]

I bet every singe one of them is planning to come to Somalia to preach that their death cult is better than Kabaab. Christians are warped. They wouldn't save a dying person unless they convert.

I rather have Somalis turn back into Waaq or become Atheist than become Christians

 

[Shamis]

Waaq would bring us closer to our Oromo neighbours and atheism shouldn't change much considering how progressive we already are for a conservative Muslim country. Christianity or Shiasm is the most dangerous fire to play with in today's political climate. Christianity means USA dominates your politics and Shias recently started to cotton on to this and have started an aggressive conversion campaign. I'll post the link in a second.

I prefer Christians over true Atheists. At least Christians believe in the same God as us and have similar morals. Atheists are nihilistic devils who I'd never truly trust.

Christianity is stupid and it doesn't make any sense, it devolves the intelligent/logical mind to a primitive a degree plus its number one enemy of Science. But though lets hope we all remain Muslims Inshallah

 

[Apollo]

Christianity and Islam are barely any different (especially relative to Dharmic religions) You are grasping at straws.
