Why are religious everywhere fighting to defend God as if God is their child?
Are the Gods crying that ordinary mortals they created are ridiculing them? Are the tears of the Gods drowning people and threatening to swallow the earth unless laws are passed abolishing the right of any man to look at the Gods with a bad eye?
I don’t get it.
I believe something is really twisted in the mind of anyone who thinks that he has to fight to protect his God.
For God’s sake, when did God stop being God? If a God cannot protect himself, he should retire.
The world is full of retired Gods. Zeus, Oduduwa, Apollo, Amadioha, Juno, Fa, Mukuru, Wele etc once had lots of followers. They have since retired. Those who did not want to retire were quietly retired by the Pope in Rome, an Archbishop in Canterbury and an Imam in Mecca. Some were retired by children of these Gods - people like Benson Idahosa, Enoch Adebayo, Emmanuel Ede, Chris Oyakhilome, David Oyedepo, William Kumuyi, Ejike Mbaka, Mattew Ashimolowo, Helen Ukpabio, Mike Okonkwo, Temitope Joshua, amongst others. So it is not an unheard phenomenon that Gods who cannot defend themselves should retire.
I reserve the right to give the Gods a middle finger. And I think you should, too. After all, the Gods have been giving us the middle finger since Creation. If not, how do you explain the craziness of this world?
I will not worship a God that will need me to defend him whenever someone abuses him. If I need a simpleton, I will worship the earthworm.
Why are we so screwed up? It is such a shame what we have allowed religion to turn us into. Two thousand years ago, none of these head-butting religions were important in the scheme of things. And two thousand years from now, a new set of Gods with their new age religions will be rocking the earth. The people who will inhabit the earth then will look at our days and call it the Dark Ages. They will ask, “What was the fuss all about?
All you defenders of the Gods who are willing to murder other human beings, I say, shame on you! Is God your child? Is God your wife? Why must you keep a gun to defend your God?
I bet you that the Gods are ashamed of anyone who is out there killing other humans in Gods’ name. If the Gods want to kill all nonbelievers, they do not need your guns or your machetes. The Gods can use Ebola, fire, earthquake, water, and cancer. The Gods have so many weapons they can use.
Remember the plagues- smallpox, Spanish flu, typhus, Black Death etc. All together, they killed hundreds of millions of people. Did the Gods need you to wipe off millions of people?
When I die and get to heaven, if I see any of these men who are killing people in the name of defending their Gods, I will turn back.
The Gods must be crazy if they let men like Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri into heaven. Please correct me if I’m right. lol
