Fellow Nairalanders, this happened in my church during the 8.am mass, as an invited priest whose sermon was lively had to tell a member of the congregation who was dozing off during the homily to stand on his feet.
Plz i need answers and views as this erupted many arguments after the service.

OP, plz push to FP.

Religion is not by force... Simple...

Is that priest a military man?

Cos i once witnessed wen a priest who is in the army asked a mother to come foward and kneel down becos her child was crying during homily.

Its actually very wrong.

Very very very wrong!!!

Do unto others what you'll want others to do unto you. That Priest wouldn't have done that if he had asked questions like: ''What if this fellow spent all night crying about his dead mom/dad/wife; what if he/she's a housemaid whose master/mistress forced to stay awake all night doing some chores?.
Anyway, the priest might still stand that person up even after asking himself 100 questions like these. It's all about sympathy and caring. Those are expensive virtues.
There're more freindly ways to handle situation like that. A cute Pastor like me will go like; ''Alobam, nke a i kuga sleep, ala adikwa level?'' And the whole church will laugh it off.
