It is up to you to keep trying to justify your prejudice and tribalism. It's the Holy Spirit alone that can convict you because you are currently living in denial.

If you like, paste theological arguments from morning till night, if you don't practice the fundamental commandment of Christ which is loving God and loving your neighbour as yourself, your theology is of no use.

I have addressed this already. It is difficult for me Yoruba not to be tribalistic towards majority of Igbos presently, even a detribalized person.

I know for a fact that I am not tribalkstic because I am interceding for your tribe and trusting God concerning you and yours, as many as will come to receive God's Mercy to see that it is not only enough to call the name of Jesus, but to do His will by departing from iniquity.

Until you see yourselves as Christians frist before Igbo, you are not worthy to follow Jesus Christ.
Until you become loyal to God first and begin to look on to Jesus Christ as the Author and Finisher of your faith, you will keep being loyal to your tribe and working against God where your tribe errs.

3 things Igbos need to change;

1. God resists the proud. So pray for the spirit of humility because your culture and tradition teaches you to be proud and even proud of your pride. This is infact evident in how you exhibit superiority complex over other tribes.

2. Love of Money. I don't need to elaborate on this. As much as every person and tribe is prone to this, your tribe and culture instills and institutionalised this in most of you. We know Contentment is God's Will, not love of money.

3. Idolatry. So many igbos are still affiliated with their gods in their home towns even after professing to give their lives to Christ. Also there is the Catholicism idolatry. Majority of igbos are catholics.

If you were to be instrospective, you will know that I have studied and carefully observed the strengths and weaknesses of the Igbos as I have done some other tribes, including Yorubas.

When I see Yorubas and other tribes manifesting pride and other vices peculiar to the tribe, I like wise minister to them accordingly.

In fact I was at a point more ashamed of Yoruba's than Igbos. Until I realised the difference is simple; Yoruba tribe teaches Humility, however that humility can become perverted and instead of instilling humility it does the opposite.

I hope you will receive this and not think I'm attacking igbos. I am hoping you will be the Light in your family and circle of influence by God's grace.

Just go through your posts and ask yourself
Are your comments divisive or unifying?
Are your comments promoting peace?
Are your comments truly glorifying God?
Are your comments biased against Igbos or not?
Are your comments prejudiced or not?

The Word of God which is the basis of my posts accomplishes innumerable purposes according to God's will.

2Tim.3.16 - All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
2Tim.3.17 - that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

It can be to preach the gospel of salvation to sinners.
It can be to encourage believers.
It can be to confront unrepentant sinners.
It can be to even woe Pharisees and saduccess (false teachers/prophets/ministers).

You can't confine the Word of God to suit your pleasure. It is meant to illumiinate you to your blind-spots and cause you to repent.
To help you seek the only One who can help you.
To transform you as you follow and obey Christ with the right heart.

As long as what I post aligns with God's Word, it is God's Will. Where you err, be humble to receive correction.

Matt.10.34 - "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.
Matt.10.35 - For I have come to "set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law';
Matt.10.36 - and "a man's enemies will be those of his own household.'
Matt.10.37 - He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

I hope this answers your question.

God will never promote tribalism and prejudice so please don't call His Name in this.

Old testament was about the chosen tribe of Israel against every other tribe.
Jesus Christ was sent strictly to the lost sheep of Israel (Jews)
He only healed the few Gentiles (non-Jews) whose faith He found astounding.

We are the Gentiles. We only received God's Grace because Jesus Christ has now died for all of us to receive Grace to become the Tribe of God as many as Believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Who humble themselves to obey and do God's will.

Whoever walks against God's will, those who fall under such category whether Yoruba or Igbo or Jew or Gentile, will suffer the same fate/consequences of anyone who goes against God's will.

As long as you're anti-God's Will that makes you anti-Christ.
As long as you're proud, that makes God resist you.

The question you should rather ask yourself, is your tribe teaching and spurring you to do God's will or to disobey God's will?

God bless you.

yewit37486:
Very typical, trying to deflect. We are talking about YOU being tribalistic, not Yorubas.
All I will leave you with is this:
Just go through your posts and ask yourself
Are your comments divisive or unifying?
Are your comments promoting peace?
Are your comments truly glorifying God?
Are your comments biased against Igbos or not?

If you truly are a believer, the Holy Spirit will surely convict you. Until then, continue in your deception that you are not a tribalistic prejudiced individual.

It's not about me sir. it's about God's will.
However and Whatever God wills, I follow.

yewit37486:
Myer, this is so so wrong especially coming from someone who portrays himself as a Christian.

Just go through your posts and ask yourself
Are your comments divisive or unifying?
Are your comments promoting peace?
Are your comments truly glorifying God?
Are your comments biased against Igbos or not?

You are clearly prejudiced. Your mind has been poisoned by tribalism. You constantly castigate one tribe but not yours and think you are detribalized, no, you are deceived. That is why you can write: "You can't be tribalistic if you're a believer" without realizing it is speaking to you.

You preach and preach but do not practice what you are preaching.

If I had agreed with you that Yorubas are tribalistic, would that have made me a better Christian to you?

I speak the Truth as gracefully as God's Grace permits.
While every tribe has the tendency to be tribalistic and truly are. The majority of the Igbo demographic have been tribalized beyond human repair.

Only God can intervene now.

rintileri:
Gutter adviser how many years did it take you of selling out your people so they can dash you gutter adviser? Wretched politicians

Every thing he said here is the truth. Though I perceive Igbos would have learnt their lesson before 20 years time.

Igbos presently have remained stuck in the same cycle of hurt and anger since Biafra and have refused to allow themselves heal properly.

Unfortunately, the superiority complex is a by-product of an ethnic heritage that has been institutionalised in your culture and nature.
It is simoly Pride. God resists the proud.

But how can one agree that God is fighting or resisting them because they carry a nature/spirit that God hates?

May God please intervene and have Mercy on Igbos.
It is painful to watch a people so gifted yet so resisted.

When I meet the very few detribalized Igbos who are humble and honor others, I am truly amazed how they did it because only God takes that away from a person.

Tamarinda:
If you like have 1 billion, men will still disrespect you if you don't have a man as a spouse.
Also, No money is as sweet as a man's money
Free money.

What matters then is not the money but the true sense of value you have and you project.

When men and women get this, they will be content when broke and rich but will certainly not be poor and ashamed.

When you're valuable, who dares to disrespect you?
Whoever does, has lost the value you bring into their life. And they may never get it elsewhere.

Value can be spiritual virtues and character.
Or talent, skill, connection and also money that sets you apart and makes you worthy of respect even without you seeking for it.

How blessed it is to be both spiritually and materially valuable.

Love

So much deep maxims in The Matrix.

Yet both are right.
One from the physical realm - Realists.

Instead of doing this, why don't you start making friends in areas where you scored least votes.

With the way your Kinsmen are just running their mouths 👄 abusing other Ethnic Nationalities in Nigeria just because you lost out is doing your ambition future damages.

While I will like to one day see an Igbo Man become President of Nigeria, the Igbo ethnic nationality must do themselves a favor by putting an end to all the unprofitable political rhetorics that is making their own to lose electoral value elsewhere!

This, they do not yet understand because they do not listen to reason.

for all who wants to learn about the Catholic church or have questions, type your questions on this website and see answers

These are Catholicism apologists attempting to deny the obvious idolatry perpetrated by the church.

I say it is obvious because everyone else knows it is idolatry. Even ex-Catholics know this. Only those who are loyalists to the church do not and in fact may not see it so.

I asked to hear and know your own definition and perception of idolatry because if you actually do check the actual meaning of idolatry and understand it without trying to explain it away defensively, you won't only stop the idolatry but you will seek forgiveness.

Now I've also visited and worshipped at Catholic churches with sone friends and as much as I wanted to believe I was wrong and people were wrong about the idolatry, it was inexcusable.

1. First, you pray to God through Holy Mary.
This already defeats the purpose of Jesus tearing the veil of the temple and opening the direct access between every human being and God through Jesus Christ and no other name. Jesus Christ is the only Mediator between Man and God.
Excuses of only appealing to Holy Mary to pray for you is just a manipulative device of the enemy to euthanize you into idolatry.

2. Also you have statues of Mary where certain prayers are specifically prayed. This is clearly idolatry, no excuses.

3. You shared in your post that you only felt at peace when you got the crucifix. Do you still need anyone to tell you that you believe in material things, graven images before you can believe your prayer is answered? What more proof of idolatry do you need?

Now I do not believe in condemning any church completely as I know that God infact can be worshipped in Spirit and Truth any where as long as one obeys his commands as spelt out in the Word of God (not your special Bible but the 66 books).

I believe the Charismatics movement of the Catholic Church is God's divine answer if you wish to remain a Cathoiic. But if possible, you may need to deconstruct the whole idolatry from yourself by trying a different church and make a fair judgment by yourself.

Your spiritual life is central and determinant of every other partof your life.
That you were born into a religion or denomination should not deny you of your power/right of choice to seek a personal encounter with the Almighty God, the creator of the Heaven and Earth.

I pray that Grace and Mercy of God is multiplied to you.

Peter Obi won the election

We saw how INEC reneged on its promise to electronically transmit the results, we saw the violence and voter suppression on election day.

We saw the show of shame in the election tribunal.

We won the election.

You only saw what was going on in the West but your eyes were blind to what was going on in the East ba?

It's one thing to lie and be repentant but to build a lifestyle out of lying has to be studied.

i don't not agree with your writeup

detribalization is a scam, people need their identity to truly feel a sense of belonging and pride.

A cultureless society is a defeated society

All people can live together regardless of tribes

Thanks for this.
This is what I meant that detribalization has to be simultaneously married with genuine civilization- not having hidden agenda or ulterior motives.

Our rich heritage is a blessing. But not all is blessing.
We must therefore know what to preserve and what to discard for that which is better- on a personal level and as much as possible, on a corporate/collective level.

HonNL:
Source: Brighton & Hove Albion FC

Brighton defeated United at Old Trafford today 3-1 following goals from old boy Danny Welbeck, Pascal GroB and Joao Pedro. United did get a consolation through Hannibal Mejbri scoring his first senior goal but it wasn't enough.

Last season in August, Brighton had their first ever victory against United at Old Trafford courtesy of 2 fine goals from Pascal GroB. Despite an own goal from MacAllister (now with Liverpool), they held on to give Ten Hag his first taste of Premier league defeat as United Manager.

This is to officially announce that I have ported from Manchester United to Manchester City.

This is the greatest betrayal from a Manchester fan. But sorry I'm not even sorry.

ManUTD needs a major overhauling.
On Pep Guardiola's mandate I now stand.

This is a sensitive discourse that I trust God to help us have an honest and balanced discussion over.

To begin with, it is important to have the actual definition of some component words;

1. Tribe: (Noun)
a. A socially, ethnically, or politically cohesive group of people.
b. A society larger than a band but smaller than a state.
c. (Zoology) A group of apes who live and work together.

2. Detribalize: (Verb)
To cause (the members of a tribe) to lose their tribal culture.

Detribalization will therefore be the process and methodology involved in getting or causing a people to lose their tribal culture.

However this definition sounds rather negative on its own, it is therefore necessary and of utmost import that it is simultaneously married with civilization- true civilization without hidden agenda and ulterior motives.

3. Civilization:
a. (Noun) An organized culture encompassing many communities, often on the scale of a nation or a people; a stage or system of social, political or technical development.
b. (Proper Noun) Collectively, those people of the world considered to have a high standard of behavior and / or a high level of development.

Nigeria as a country is a mishmash and pot-pourri of diverse tribes with their unique and diverse cultural identities and heritage jouned together as a result of colonisation, amalgamation and civilisation.

It is important to establish that our match-making (amalgamation) was an unholy matrimony. It was either non-consensual and or manipulative. This is clearly as a result of the innate greed of both our ancestors and our colonists.
We can not blame the colonists without ascribing due blame to our ancestors.

This unholy matrimony gave birth to distrust and rivalry between the major tribes of the country especially the Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo.

There are so many versions of the story of our history as a country- Nigeria, depending on whose side of the story you listen to. However there is always the Truth.

The Hausas have their perspective which they hold true.
The Yorubas have their perspective which they hold true.
The igbos like wise have their perspective which they hold true.
Like wise the other tribes have their perspectives which they hold true.

On this note, it is important to personally do an unbiased study and research on this history with a view to unlearn and relearn, setting aside our matural emotions and sentiments.
It is advisable to listen and learn the perspective of others as well. And try to understand why they actually do not see from your perspective.

This is the first step to our individual and collective detribalization.

Loyalty is the crux of Tribalism and it's antithesis, Detribalisation.
It is our need to be loyal to our tribe that fuels our tribalism.
It will like wise be our need to be Loyal to the Truth that will fuel our detribalization.
You will either become more loyal to your tribe or less loyal to your tribe.

The culmination of it all is Cosmopolitalism. The idea that all of humanity belongs to a single moral community.

When we realise that we are all Humans First before we began to form smaller units that grew into bigger units and became divided over the years, we will also come to realise, we are one big divided family.

We have simply inherited family feuds and inter-tribal grievances and the cycles has continued from genelation to generation manifesting in various forms- racism, tribalism, xenophobia, etc.

By God's grace, our generation will break this vicious cycle and make a difference, for the sake of God and our posterity in Jesus name. Amen

You need to change your circle of friends first of all and your mindset about life and apparently a lot of things.

I truly appreciate your kind of person. You seem very emotionally balanced.

The truth is it is difficult especially at this point in time judging by antecedents, precedents and recent incidents, not to be tribalustic towards the Igbos even for someone who considers themselves detribalised.

And if you're being honest, you will agree with this.

The man they thought was Igbo

He has proven by this singular act that he carries the Igbo spirit.

1. He has desecrated the Yoruba gods and heritage.
2. He has displayed pride.

Pride they say comes before fall.
Unless these are not true monarchs.

As much as a believer now believes and worships the one True God, he is still obligated to give honor to whom it is due- especially the established authorities.

Jesus Christ and apostles could wipe out the Roman King and other leaders but they honored them.

I believe this is meant to expose certain things concerning our human traditions and heritage as tribes. We need to Know that even our ethnic and tribal affiliations have to be subjected to the Word of God.

You can't be tribalistic if you're a believer.
Yet Obidients are tribalistic.
Even those who were not tribalistic have been made to react tribalistically.

God help and save us all.

I'm not here to criticize anyone, but as a music lover and a pro analyst, we all know opportunities come in different forms.


Here is my top 5 countdown to musicians who couldn't seize that moment when it was needed the most!!

5) Ice Prince Zamani

It's okay to say you don't want to rap any more. It's okay to tell a girl you like her waste in particular, but what happens from there? We all thought this is it, zamani is back when he did that song with nasty c, jidenna and co, but dude just couldn't seize that moment and revive his career. Instead, he went down the more.

4) PSQUARE

The duo broke up due to a family dispute and later reunited to make a comeback in the Nigerian entertainment industry. We all thought they were coming back, harder due to the hype of their shows and reunion fans were happy waiting for their next banger. But like I said, 2021 on a topic that made fp that it was too late for them which I got criticized by so many people calling me names I'm not Gos but it turns out I was right. Psquare couldn't seize the moment of their reunion to make a huge comeback and now we can hardly hear of them.

3) Victor Ad

If you nor get money wetin you gain o! The Wetin you gain crooner who came out with that single few years ago was an inspiration to the youth especially yahoo boys who wants to drive benz and live lavida loca lifestyle. The song blew all over Africa that he was featured by obo davido the next week. Victor ad really didn't take his chances as much as I thought he would. I mean, come on take a look at Asake, he came with just a song and started bombarding the entertainment industry with several new songs topping chart's here and there and now he has made an imprint and wont be easily forgotten.

2) Duncan mighty

The port Harcourt first son did messed up his chances of reviving his career when he featured wizkid on fake love. That was a huge opportunity to make it back to the entertainment industry. Everyone was happy he was back.. weneee mighty don show hoping to hear more vibes with his melodious voice and, matured tunes, but he disappointed so many fans.

1) Black face

If I was black face all this years of convincing people that my friend stole my song and made it his. I would have written another song and make a huge comeback. Black face was one musician that had Nigerian sympathy for what 2face did to him till today, all he needed was just ONE GOOD SONG to make it to the mainstream and he's back on track grabbing awards and accolades.

The most painful for me has to be Sauce Kid aka Sinzu.

Skyview01:
While thinking and reminiscing, I am thinking of my childhood and growing up, as kids, whenever our fatger would come back from work, we would allwys all run out of the house through the backdoor at the sound of his car horn.

The biggest reason is immediately he is stepping in, he would start complaining about things not being in their right places.
Chores not being done or improperly done, house not clean enough and he would always have something to complain about in an angry tone of voice.

I came to believe it was his own way of dealing with a stressful day at work and over time, it kinda created some tensions between us.

I told myself, no matter what, if I had my own family, no matter the stress I pass through during the day, i would never take it out on the kids or wife.

So whenever i come back from work and i see chores not done properly, my father's reaction would flash in my mind and i would take a deep breath and go the opposite directio , ask the kids and wife how their day went.
and generaly chit chat about them without making them uncomfortable around me.

At the end, I might ask my son, "sweetheart, when are you going to wash the dishes? Even at the peak of a very stressful day, I would find a way to smile and go to my room in solitude.

Secondly, shouting at the children while correcting the. My dad as a true Nigerian man would yell at a high octave while correcting us and it frequently drives me crazy as a teenager.

With my kids and family, I practice a low even tone of voice while i am angry or making neccessary corrections. I find this to be very effective as it made the kids receptive and willing to change.

The results, kids are free with me and can discuss virtually everything in their lives with me.

So, what did you see your father do while growing up you were unhappy with and wanted to change in your own family.

This is great.
My dad is a great man, very responsible and honorable man.
He was however self-righteous and this affected his parenting and so much and created a gulf between us. By God's grace that is being settled and will end in testimony.

He taught us religion instead of leading us to personal encounter with Christ.
By God's grace I hope to lead my children to have a personal encounter with God and be filled with the Holy Spirit. This is my heartiest heart cry and so help me God. It is such a beautiful sight to see young kids and teens who have personal relationship with God.
They excel in virtually all they do and know how God leads them through life.

AmandaPrecious:
I'm not merely disagreeing with you. I'm furnishing you with actual facts pertaining to the discussion! So you're not just contending with me, you're actually contending with the evidence. So far, you haven't presented and rebuttals to the evidence provided. If you want to deny reality because of your spurious subjective beliefs, then that's your kettle of fish. But the fact is this: painless delivery does not reduce the quality of mother-infant bonding. In some cases, painless delivery actually enhances it!



So (I'm asking this question again), why then do you keep insisting that painless delivery reduces the significance mothers attach to their maternal responsibility if you already agree that no significant correlation has been established between childbirth experience and mother-infant bonding?



Produce the survey you conducted that led you to the conclusion that mothers who go through painful delivery value motherhood more. Let's have it.



No, you witlessly fumbled through them.



Which questions? Ask away. Maybe I missed them.



Because I came to discover that I had no justifiable reasons to believe in any God/s.



Yes.

Thanks for your candour.
This is the challenge with logical and intelligent believers. I've been there. But it is the stage of growing your Spirit over your Mind. Your Mind needed to be subjected to the Word of God.
That's what the Gift of Faith is.

You were going through a transition process. It is a test that was meant to grow your faith in God.

There was reason(s) you believed God. That was your justifiable reason.

But you needed more reasons and more tangible reason as time and maturity necessitated.
Can you remember what you wanted and if God has now met that need?

AmandaPrecious:
Continuous, and mindless repetition of already discombobulated arguments do not register as "addressing the topic of discussion". Your refusal to even reconsider how porous your arguments are is a very big indicator to how intellectually dishonest you truly are.



And I have cited studies that counter this proposition of yours, which you have responded to with nothing more than drawn out repetitions of your factless bluster.



See above. You have no evidence for this claim.



Nope. Strawman fallacy. This is a complete obfuscation of everything I've been saying thus far. Again, if this is your take on what my actual position is, then you're either cognitively handicapped or you're a terrible liar. First and foremost, your claim that "the pain and NDE of both Natural birth and CS (especially in Nigeria) instills a sense of responsibility, care and legacy in a woman" is flat out WRONG. I have already shown you evidence pointing towards the contrary, whereby mothers who experience painless delivery tend to enjoy mother-infant bonding more than those whose delivery experience was painful. I then cited other important factors that can affect a mother's attitude towards motherhood separate from the mode of delivery. How a grown man like you keeps tripping over himself trying to grasp this simple information is befuddling.



I never said it wasn't one of the factors. SMH. Are you dyslexic?



Typical for most Nigerian Christians to have "found God" due to being overwhelmed by the reality of daily life struggles. Y'all are too pussy to actually face the world as it is, so you conjure up the persona of a "loving, all-powerful father" that loves you so much he's willing to save you from a ghastly accident that can kill thousands of other faithful souls he created himself; or help you find your car keys because you were too stupid to remember where you kept them in the first place.



Can't say I'm surprised. I already picked up the sexual frustration and horniness in you a few posts back. You probably get a hard-on seeing my name in your mentions, rubbing your nipples with anointing oil as you read my comments, hmm?

But you do agree with the fact that I don't have to agree with you right?

An argument can some times be inconclusive. I suppose this falls under such category.
Which was the position of the excerpt from the abstract of the article you referenced.

Let's agree to disagree.
If you're looking for verifiable facts, do a survey from mothers as I have done.

Now I believe I have answered your questions to a good capacity. Surprised you evaded mine after accusing me of evasion.

1. Why did you stop believing in God?
2. Did you or your parents serve God at some point?

Some times, I watch movies to learn a thing or two. And some times to unlearn.

Here's my top 5 all time most inspiring movies and why;

1. The Matrix
I can't thank the Wachowski brothers (now sisters) enough. This movie checks all the right boxes for me- Sci-fi, Action, Romance and more. And certainly helped me understand the idea of multi-verse better.

2. Acrimony
This has to be my Tyler Perry's favorite. It's definitely one of my favorite tragi-comedies. The script is so puzzling and still gets men and women polarized.

3. Avengers
It's difficult not to love Avengers franchise as a man. I mean growing up from wishing to have a hero and growing up to wanting to be a hero to your fam. It also helped to understand egos-clashing and how to manage a room full of talents.

4. Finding Forrester
This is a great movie that helped me want to be a writer. Teaches how inspiration is not in too much thinking. Just let it flow. Besides, it features my second favorite James Bond- Sean Connery.

5. Paul, The Apostle
This brings the books of Apostle Paul to life. As a believer, Passion of Christ is Great but this took it home for me. One of the few movies that made me weep.

Feel free to share yours!

If you are a youth, you are probabaly on one or two social media platforms.i.e Instagram , Facebook, Tik tok, twitter etc I rarely watch TV these days.

I recently saw the hours I spent on each social media app last week and was concerned. Just like dopamine, it's becoming irresistible to surf the internet doing nothing.

It does appear to me SM especially IG, tik tok is saturated with scantily Dressed women seeking attention, some just dancing away. Low budget bloggers pasting thier opinion on every matter, some giving advice to people not seeking it. Not so funny skits, after which you watch it you regret wasting your data. The desire to trend at all cost. As in it's kinda endless

If you spend 24hrs/day with free wifi it's not enough to view the content being pushed out daily. Are we losing focus on what's important and helping these influencers and skit makers to relevance.


I even heard of a student who quit university to join Onlyfans.

Before you come at me, I know there has been some good from social media but the opportunity cost with respect to time on those app is alarming.

Please for those who have quit social media, Has your life been better for it?

The bane of this generation. You're lucky that you have come to this realization.
Acknowledging and Identification of a problem is the primary step to the solution.

While I won't advise you to quit it finally, I will suggest you take a long break.
It has become an addiction and you have to fight it just like you would fight any other addiction.

If not because my job necessitates the use of SM, I had planned to also take another long break.
But I have developed some measure of control over it.

Take a long break as long especially if your means of livelihood will not be drastically impaired.
Long break could be 3 months to 1 year depending on when you realize you're not as interested in it any more.
By the time you return you will likely have a more productive use of it.
Cos like most things, it really is a Gift or a Curse, depending on your mastery and control over it.

More important than taking the break is what fills your time during the break.
You have to replace the time with a productive endeavor.

That is up to you, but I will suggest you build yourself spiritually through knowing Christ personally. Other things begin to add up. God bless you.

Did he rape them ?

He probably didn't.
But certainly it's against his profession's ethics.

His lack of self-control has cost him all the cost of his education plus possible jail time.

Life is easier when you follow Divine order.
