Dear God,
I
had to muster a ‘lotta’ courage to write you this letter, please don’t get
pissed with me, because there is no way on Earth that I can stand your vex, as
one of your authentic sons. First of all, I ‘wanna’ thank you for all thou have
given me, beautiful children, a beautiful and soulful wife, a family filled
with love, Mum and Dad, nice motor bikes, belief in Self. But most importantly
that gift, the ability to shift gears when the context calls for it and being
able to generate and evaluate several different options in order to respond
effectively to any situation, adjusting to any condition that I face instead of
struggling with the way things are. Thank you God for all your mercies, but sheyyou
also know that I have worked hard for all that I have today, with the talent
you blessed me with. In short BABA, you built me for the Nigerian roads, no
shaking, who born dem.
There
are so many things that confuse me about you which brings me to the real reason
why I’m writing to you. But I guess you already saw this coming, no be you,
Apha and omega.
(1).
When I hear some people say that Christianity is the only true religion
approved by you, I get a bit confused. What happens to the rest of the people
who do not belong to that religion? Will you send them to hell? Why
should they suffer if they were raised in an area which did not expose them to
the “one true religion”? For example, there are about 1.2 billion
Catholics. What happens to the 5.6 billion people who are not
Catholic? What happened to the people who died prior to the organized
religion or the concept of YOU, default to eternal damnation? Why is it
acceptable to join a religion that was created by a single man? For
example, King Henry created the Church of England. How do we know if YOU
sent them or if it meets your approval, this religion? How do we know
that any religion is approved by your person? Too much confusion,waliiitaliii.
Why is it acceptable for religions to evolve? Various religions have
changed over time due to cultural pressures – how do we know these changes are
“authorized” by YOU.
(2).
God, you are supposed to be perfect I don’t get it how you ended up creating
imperfect humans, and we are told that we are all created in YOUR image and
likeness. For me I’m sorry Baba, I don’t get it. How can a whole YOU create
imperfect things, by the way why don’t YOU just destroy Satan, once and for
all? Why is Satan allowed to tempt us anyhowly? Is it fair?
Why would YOU even allow the creation of Hell? As CharlyBoy what I put out
interms of my image tallies with the persona of Charlyboy because I have a
kickass attitude. When I see some human beings, I definitely know that there is
no way they can be YOUR creation, say who die? For a lot of Christians,
the Bible is the “truth” and the “law” – then is it not strange that humans are
accepting laws written by men, and that there are many different versions seen
from different perspectives? GOD please which one is correct? We have old and
New Testament, and one too many versions, because human beings are imperfect their
stories may as well be imperfect.
(3).
Why does a perfect BABA like YOU who is all powerful and has all knowledge –
require us to praise YOU by going to Church. Should it not be sufficient
for us to thank/praise YOU in our own way? Why do YOU require praise at
all? Why do only humans need to praise Him, while other species are off
the hook? I am just asking questions, or I shouldn’t be asking questions? Will
YOU punish me for asking questions? But you are fair and just. Abi?
Why
is there often contempt for those who question religion? If humans were
given the gift of intelligence and the freedom of choice, why should they be
punished for using it? Why is there continuous conflict between different
religions, and between those who believe, and those who don’t? How can
anyone know if they are correct? Why is the universe, Earth, and life so
imperfect? Why would YOU create a world where there is so much… wrong, so
much Beef, so much Gobee. I just tire for this matter.
And
while we’re at it, I’m just really concerned about the myriad religions that
say that believing anything other than them will result in going to hell. I
mean, Christians say that Muslims will go to hell, and Muslims say Christians
will go to hell. Can you help me out here? I haven’t even gotten into Hinduism,
Buddhism, Sikhism, Daoism, Taoism, ancient Greek gods, ancient Roman gods… what
would you recommend someone do BaBa God.
Abegi,
help me with answers before I kolo just thinking about
thequestions. My dada don scatter here, oh I forget say I no
get dada again but my internal dada dey intact.
Mark you, “God works in mysterious ways are not acceptable answers for me ooo”
So, park well.
