To start, a preacher in Kenya was able to convince believers to starve themselves to death. He convinced them that ending their lives this way will ensure a guaranteed audience with the christ himself, in heaven. All the while, he continued to eat and he is still living.This religion-related crimes and evil practices are too common along the length and breath of our continent that authorities and society at large, rather conveniently choose to stay oblivious to.
Did you know, are you aware that in many of the countries in Africa with the most difficult living conditions, in those countries, there are more church buildings and massive places of worship than there are industries.
In Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, in Cameroon and in other citizen-poor countries, there are more church and bible-quoting billionaires than industrialists. And, many of such preachers are in clever connivance with political elites to subjugate the masses for the purposes of gaining full control and obedience of the unsuspecting masses just as the early white missionaries did.The CapeCoast castle has a basement(dungeon) for slaves, above the dungeon, a chapel of God. My people, let us wise up to the truth.
One thing is clear, and I won't be afraid to say that religion has and is still destroying us. A wise perspective teaches us that our existence here on earth is not just to pray and worship as many church leaders in Africa will make us believe. We are here to live a life, a life well fulfilled in all its positiveness. Stay focused, look and study carefully the lifestyle of pastors in your neighbourhood, they are damn rich, they are experiencing heaven, right here on earth at the expense of us the multitudes, the wretched, gullible and the suffering poor in society.
They're living the real life at the expense of the ignorant believers. We must sit up and take our lives back from tricksters in cassocks and robes. They are using religion to their full advantage. For us black Africans, this is not right. Religion will forever destroy us if we do not wise up to reason, and quickly too. Prosperity of every society will be dependent upon the practical actualities and good behaviour of citizens based on law. Think about it. Have a pleasant weekend.
