To Hell With God's Mercies!!!- Imoh David by hungryboy(m): 3:05pm On Dec 20, 2014
The greatest turn-off to
me in any human being
whatsoever is a blatant
disrespect and
insensitivity towards the
lives of other people.
Once you do not regard
human life as precious,
priceless, powerful and
holy, sorry you have
earned not just my
irritation but hatred.
And this is why I
primarily hate religion-
not their stupidity; I can
put up with that, at least
I have met more stupid
people than the ones I
consider brilliant. Not
their hypocrisy-
everyone can be
hypocritical especially
when their interest is at
stake. Not their lies and
delusion- you can stuck
up with your garbage for
all I care. But the one
thing that pisses me off
is their blatant
insensitivity for lives and
humanity which is what
drove me to abandon
religion. And I can
abandon anything that
is so in whatever way,
even if it is a member of
my family. Unless of
course I am unaware of
it. Yes, I am religious
with my value for
human life.
The only people I
support to be killed are
those who kill others
and want to kill others.
Yes, you deserve to die
of you kill another
human for no apparent
reason, worst of all for
religious, criminal or
mob purposes. If such a
person is brought before
me, I’ll shoot him,
because I know he can
do same to me or any
other person, so
disappearing the vermin
is for the greater good
and my security. Yes, I
said so and that I concur.
So terrorists ought to be
killed and eliminated for
such waton bloody
desecration of human
life. Period.
But that is not where I’m
driving at. It is
something else.
When I was a child,
during devotions I recall
when those bigger than
me use to say:
“Father, thank you for
giving us life, for there
are others who have
died and are in the
mortuary. We are not
better than them, but for
your mercies and blah
blah blah”
As a young lad, I was
vexed with disturbance
on the meaning of such
lines. “How can you say
you are not better than
them, when they are
dead and you are alive
and then say its God’s
mercy that kept you?”
As young as I was then,
can’t recall how old I
was, but I could be
picked up easily from
the ground by an eleven
year old, I did not find
such utterance
reasonable. So I kept
mute with my confusion
for fear of being chided,
since I had a long history
of suffering my elders
around me with
vexatious philosophy
and questioning. “Imoh
shut-up and stop asking
questions”, they will
thunder at this Son of
David. So I kept quite
and suffered with it
within my young mind. I
was a precocious child.
Even when I was a
Christian, I never uttered
those lines in prayers, it
seemed very cold-
hearted to me even
though I believed a sky
man managed the
affairs of the blue planet.
I simply said “Thank you
Lord for keeping me”. I
refused to do the mass
utterance of comparism
of tragedy and eruption
of joy based on the
predicament that befell
others. I never did such
as a christian.
There was a time my bus
was attacked along
Lagos-Shegamu
highway and I fled into
the bush, which led to
the armed robbers
pursuit of a treasure.
While searching for me, I
lay emotionless in the
thick bushes and the
armed man in search of
me was a boot inch
close to my head. He lost
faith and turned around
with his gun and
machete. It was a close
call to death, but I was
lucky.
On passing the message
to my pastor then, he
pressured me to give a
testimony that others
may have be killed but I
got away for God’s
grace. I was unhappy to
hear this because on my
way back from Lagos on
the same Shegamu
express road, laid the
body of a lifeless man. It
could be me, why glory
over another’s bad luck
and mishap? If God’s
grace could not reach
him, then I have no
reason to be grateful to
one who could have
extended same grace to
the lifeless man on the
same road but chose not
to. It only means one
day if he disappoints me
with his so grace and
appoints same to
another, another will
glory in my mishap, so
no thanks.
“Sorry pastor, I’m not
giving such a testimony”
I told him on phone. The
rest the say is history. To
hell with God’s mercies!
