It is sad that even though some God sitting in heaven watching over our boring lives (I am about to go and shower and he will even be watching me) has told believers what he detests and likes, these believers have decided to choose what they want to condemn and what they want to ignore.
Instead of leaving the punishment, condemnation and appraisal to this God, many religious zealots go about pointing fingers, insulting and torturing homosexuals because their holy book is against these minorities.
Few hours ago, Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari decided to celebrate her tattoo which she has been carrying for 13 years—and I just thought I should remind all the dogmatic religious people who descend heavily on other people that, tattooing is also a sin—just like everything else you claim God will punish and burn people for. Who goes about celebrating her sin? Is she not mocking God?
There is no hierarchy of sins so the sins of the homosexual is equal the sin of the liar, and the sin of the thief is also equal the sin of the person carrying a tattoo. Isn’t it?
I think I found a verse for you too;
“Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD”- Leviticus 19:28.
Now are you going to go for Nadia Buari’s head same way you will go for my friend-AkosuaGhana’s head, because she is in a same sex relationship, happy and loving?
As Richard Dawkins wrote in The God Delusion “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”
