On the Church as Business Venture

Image
  Ever since I started seeing the church primarily as a business venture, I stopped wasting my breath postulating about tithing and the role of the church in humanitarianism.  I mean, let's observe Pastor Jerry objectively. All that shouting and screaming praying sessions are amazing workout sessions. And they're HIIT sessions not even LISS. I estimate nothing less than 400 calories being expended per session. If only I can stand all the screaming, I'd probably even add to my fitness routine on days where I am not able to do road walk. His ministry being primarily digital from onset? Brilliant strategy. The community he's built, the devotion... I can't help but admire the business venture. That YouTube money must be very very long and I can't help but respect the hustle. Apart from oil and gas, traditional banks, and fintechs, I'm not sure there are booming sectors like the church in Nigeria.  And they're providing a service, let's be objective, they...

On Divine Grace and Forgiveness

Image
  I wrote something similar about pedophilic Jeffery Dahmer that not only abused and killed young boys, he ate them. Like sliced them like beef and kept in his fridge. And when he was eventually imprisoned, he repented, got baptized by a priest and from many indications, was having his Bible sessions daily with the priest and changing his ways??. And I just can't wrap my head around it. Sure, Jesus told the other thief, "today you'd be with me in paradise" and all of that but genuinely, it doesn't fucking make sense that just repenting absolves people of punishment.  When I was younger, I'd be spitting fire and brimstone arguing against the Catholicism belief in the purgatory but as an adult, that is more logical to me than someone lying just before demise would immediately castigate them to hell. While the worst of the human demons could repent and everything is then a clean slate. So if someone like fucking Jeffery Dahmer is going to heaven, then miss me wi...

On Artemis II mission

Image
Consider the enormity of earth from this Artemis II exploration. And the tininess of this dot from the above image. This universe is incomprehensible and I can't even begin to wrap my head over the vastness and our mere existence on earth. I saw a comment on Reddit about the Farthest documentary that a lady said that after the film, she went to flick a speck of dust from the canvas before realising that's our entire earth in an image. You can't help and wonder how minuscule, just infinitesimally small we are. Meanwhile, the ocean is about 70% of the earth's surface. Humans have barely tranversed 5% of the ocean and from what I saw online, about 80% remain unmapped. On the atheists on Reddit... I would describe them as insufferable more of... I mean I would wager the astronauts should even be more religious. Cos being out of this space makes the marvel of all that we are more incredulous. I can't even imagine seeing earth and not shudder on the magnitude of the unive...
