THE IMPACT OF CHRISTI-“AN(I)TI” ON THE SOCIAL STRUCTURE.

One of the reasons why people fail to appreciate the importance of Christianity and its actual relevance in relation to contemporary times is the over –ambitiousness and incessant quest for riches by Christians, who in their flimsy excuse to realize their perceived potentials succumb to all kinds of outrageous and ridiculous beliefs. This act of unprecedented paradigm shift has culminated into a significant decadence which invariably has caused the apparent withdrawal of respect for Christianity and its hitherto cherished and admirable beliefs

I do not intend to cite any practical example of such individuals, particularly supposed men of God, who shamelessly commit all sought of immoralities with impunity. It’s startling that the Gospel (the good news) has been so much relegated that it couldn’t have been proposed by any sphere of imagination that such miscreants, charlatans and preposterous hypocrites would stand on the pulpit and proclaim the gospel.

It is not my intention by any means, to institute judgment on anybody but these issues are of moral importance and since society is highly influenced by values, if care is not taken, one could empirically deduce that these untoward and unethical behaviors which are an indictment on our norms could actually turn out to be absolute normality. Indeed this is the time where people, “have become depraved, no good scoundrels, with the tastes of a pig and the putrescent values of a maggot”.

Until attaining the status of a teenager, I had always thought that religious festivals and precisely Christian festivals, namely Christmas, New year and Easter, were solemn, sacred and moments of sober reflection and meditation about, the birth, the unrestricted and graceful entry into a new year and particularly, that Christ humbled himself on the cross for us to be saved, respectively. Its however disheartening and ironical to note that rather than engaging in such moral purposes for which these festivals are celebrated, one would marvel at the rate of promiscuity, opulent display of sexual immoralities, adultery, and all sought of unscrupulous and unchristian behaviors which have actually replaced a hitherto solemn and sober reflection of Christian festivities

Need I mention what happen in the clubs? Take for instance this Easter, I was startled, perplexed, puzzled, petrified and flabbergasted by what I saw. Indeed I never imagined that such acts of impunity could exist. I couldn’t belief my eyes, well, until I pinched myself severally, to find out if I was actually dreaming. I guess you know what I’m talking about. Imagine a club, with the lights almost faded, wearingly striking the faces of people, with no intention of evidently showcasing the identity of who it actually is, and In such an environment, I saw people who were supposedly dancing but that was too close to be just a dance, hmmmm, u’re probably thinking what I saw, yes, it was actually the act!!!!!!!!!!

It would if care is not taken be a “mysterious slur” on the Christian faith if these charlatans and miscreants, who posses ridiculous doctorate degrees submerge Christianity into the dungeons and acutely impede the very essence of the bible, which they’ve so much defiled and refused to do according to its dictates and principles. You would hear of a “pastor”, said to have raped, aborted, committed incest, stolen and engaged in all sorts of malicious and fraudulent activities that are very much uncharacteristic of a true man of God.

Essentially, it would be blasphemous for anyone by any range of standard to suggest that all pastors are fake. Indeed there are many pastors, who operate and meticulously leave under the tenet and principles of the bible. We cannot say in absolute entirety, the righteousness of these ones without somehow contradicting the bible but it is evidently clear that at least Most pastors are living up to expectation.

I would like to add finally that, Christians should not be so much obsessed with miracles and signs the departs significantly from the Bible but be more conscious about the Word(which essentially entails miracle). Christian festivals which have been so much defiled should at least for the Christians be moments of deep reflections and penance, rather than engaging in frivolous, erroneous and unchaste activities, which are in themselves an affront and impediment to the bible and probably detrimental to the Christian faith. It is my wish and utmost presumption that this piece would refine the unprecedented corrupt, ferocious, sheer apathy to the bible and the avaricious, immoral and repulsively “devilish” phenomenon that had inundated the Christian community.
