The Random Musings of A Bored Philosopher

I believe in God.

I believe in my country, Nigeria

I believe Nigeria’s outgoing First Lady was spot on when she wailed ‘There is God o!’

I believe Nigeria is presently not a country many Nigerians are quite proud of, except for a few Martin Luther King Juniors who yet have a dream that ‘one day…’

I believe in creationism. The Universe is too ordered to have begun from a chaos which itself had no cause.

I believe in freewill

I believe much of the evil in our world is because man has this freewill to choose to do good or wreak havoc.

I understand agnosticism and I can relate to it

Atheism, on the other hand, I think is the height of arrogance which of course is ignorance inflated.

I believe in love, romance, you know? That universal stuff that entire music genres are made of?

I believe in living life to the fullest which, for me, means discovering and pursuing that purpose beating inside your chest.

I believe in laughter, loving life and having fun.

And yes I believe sex is fun and it was God’s idea. Yayyy!

Sex, I believe, is most fulfilling (emotionally and spiritually) in the context of marriage (regardless of how many times I have personally done contrary).

And speaking of marriage, I believe it should be between a man and a woman.

By the way, I believe in Jesus as Christ.

Therefore I am CHRISTian.

Yet I believe much of organized Christianity has been, and still is ‘anti’ Christ. E.g. The Crusades, The anti-abortion crusades in America, the violence towards and resentment of gays and lesbians globally, etc.

I believe homosexuality is not just a sin but an abomination before God.

Yet I believe God loves homosexuals, strippers, porn stars, etc, just as much as He loves me.

And who says I can’t have an alcoholic drink because I’m a Christian? I believe it’s the preachers (most of them) who say so. Have you ever wondered why Jesus’ haters called him a ‘winebibber?’  

However, I believe no one (Christian or not) should get drunk or high, or permit themselves to get out of control even if it’s now trendy to be ‘turnt up or what!’

By the way, I believe Korede Bello has a right to praise God.

I believe in one undivided Nigeria.

Handover approaches and the ‘people’s General’ has nothing to fear. Nothing but his four-eyed senior colleague from the state whose name rhymes with palaver.

I believe exciting times are right ahead… 

And I’m excited!
