God the Megalomaniac

-

As parents, all we want for our kids is happiness. We want them to be content and comfortable. We work hark hard for their sake, so they can eat and dress. Do we want them to cower at our presence?do we want them to call us darling papa and mama every other time? is that our priority concerning them? Do we want them to regard us as powerful masters/guardians? For most of us, not at all. As I said earlier, all we want is for them to be happy and secure.

But this is not the case for the god of the bible. He has a thirst for praises. He wants us to bow on our knees admitting our filthiness and begging him for mercy. He wants us to sing praises for him every other time and he wants us to declare that there is none other greater than him and that he is the creator of everything? Why? Why should we bow to him if he created the world so effortlessly and allegedly, so naturally? It does not make sense where his megalomania stems from. If it is true that he is so great and omnipotent, why does he have the desire to be feared and worshiped by his underlings? His obsession with power bears so many similarities with the tyrants and dictators of this world.

Check out these verses that reek of selfishness and megalomia

Revelation 4:8-11 Each of the four living creatures had 6 wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under it's wings. Day and night they never stop saying " Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.

Revelation 19:4-5 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, and they cried "Amen, Hallelujah!"Then a voice came from the throne saying "Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both great and small (is the god of the bible praising himself here?Lol!)

His obsession with power makes him a god that deserves disdain instead of praise according to me.

Cesare Borgia was one of the illegitimate sons of a pope called Alexander V1,he was trained in the church and eventually became the archbishop in his teenage years. He was a tyrannical man. Valiant, fearless and merciless, he ruled with a heavy hand. He was the modern day slay king, but very power hungry.  He was deceitful and very randy, sleeping with many women and engaging in shady deals. It is even suspected that he had sexual escapades with his own sister Lucrezia. He was considered the most handsome  man in Italy and he seemed to know it as he wore the most fashionable clothes.He got syphilis at a youthful age of 20 years. Borgia employed Leonardo Da Vinci as his engineer and military architect. The two had a sexual relationship and Da Vinci, having an artistic soul painted Borgia many times. His handsome face from the paintings was used for centuries as an inspiration to represent Jesus Christ. Christians worshipped and adored his image for a long time. History has re...

Why are Atheists Always So Angry?

-
   Atheists have been long been misunderstood as bitter people. People who went through bitter experiences and are now channeling their anger to "God". We have been told about our mental health being in a poor state. We have been called lost and misguided. These words are by no means polite, they are pretty much accusatory, of ignorance and weakness on our part. Strangely enough, believers don't understand why such comments would put us off. In fact, believers expect atheists to respect every bible verse that springs out of their mouth, they expect atheists to cow when they threaten them with doom, curses and hellfire, to take their words so seriously. I consider this a very poor attitude towards civility. I as an atheist, am angry, at the continuous religious indoctrination of every generation that comes forth. I am angry that I cannot openly proclaim my atheism lest people get a bad image of me, may see me as a byword, may even start alienating me. I am  angry that athe...

Kina the TV series and it's portrayal of atheism

-

   It is heartbreaking that most religious people have the idea that atheism is the symbolism of evil. Most have the tendency to think that atheist minds are under the influence of the lord of the underworld, namely , 'Satan'. It is expected that a non believer of religion  has no conscience to steer him or her away from evil, and that the ability to do good comes from a god. This is quite wrong since we all know that animals such as dogs and elephants have demonstrated acts of kindness despite them not being followers of any religion. That aside, I got a few chances to watch Kina the Kenyan TV series and wasn't much shocked to find out that Nana, the villain in the story is an atheist. In one of the episodes, she opens up about not believing in God. This is quite good evidence that atheism is equated to evil here in Kenya. Believers are likely to label you as a Satan adherent if they find out you are an atheist, despite atheists not believing in the biblical...
