We, as rich renegades, recommend ruinous relegation as the relevance of things not ours, and disregard people not related to our precious beliefs and convictions. We allow prejudices, never reason, to determine our judgment of events and people.

We hug our liberality to insanity by permitting Satanism the visa to our minds and glue our humanity and divinity, to ideals sponsored by the coordinator of hell by evicting the truth from the estates of our spiritual consciousness, isolating undiluted moral sincerity from external spiritualism.

We open a voluminous diary of conflicts between realities that are ideal and invisibles that are real.

Ponder this properly please: We gathered somewhere to fervently prayerfully, after a short fasting, wish our future well, and our remorseless tormentors their dues. After the absorbing exercise, a young man who probably wishes to become a church manager apologetically announced that a bulk of the points we painted as prayers will never be answered by God! His reasons?

It is a compulsion that we pray for, and bless our assailants no matter whether our promising lives they have in mind to mar; our delicate but promising destiny they target to tear is safe or not. He also declared that our ignorance made us pray this way.

Besides the glossy sanctimoniousity, vulgarly soaring anachronism of unintelligible, immoral and unspiritual arrogance, ignorance and apoplexy displayed skillfully by this man, it is criminal to decide for a godly mind, whose disposition towards life, lives and things escapes the wrath of moral condemnation, what to, and what not to do to threatening diabolical debauchery, knowing that whichever option he adopts is for the survival, never for the extinction of the truth and morality- the fundamentals of every credible culture, ideology or religion.

Jesus humbly advised that we pardon and pray for those who offend us, he never issued a compulsion that church entrepreneurs or any self-acclaimed, or devil- proclaimed, or hubris- anointed, or sincerity- hunted born-again Christian must make a decree which other daring, straight-forward Christians and human beings must respect.

What sense is there in the extension of forgiveness and the distribution of good will to men and women who are never sorry for the havoc they cause others? There cannot be peace without justice; there can never be forgiveness without repentance. It is cataclysmically failing to appoint an unwilling person in positions that demand absolute commitment no matter his qualifications; God does not forgive any righteous devil - one that does no popularize a genuine inner wish for forgiveness.

Forgiveness is an active, reasonable philosophy, never a passive, reckless resistance. If we are physically and spiritually careless enough to be vulnerable to the antics of the enemies, it is unbiblical to file any retaliatory application for the visa of vengeance. While I will forever be willing to forgive my hurtful haters; men and women who had insisted my prodigious future, as designed by God, is a menace to their survival, ambition and fulfillment, I will never relax the fortress of my all to ease their evil experiments with my destiny.

While Jesus Christ lived and reigned in the courtyard of peace and love, he never hesitated to destroy the existence of the fig tree that failed to be fruitful, especially when needed most. A sadistic, belligerent bottling of the best in any being for whatever butt is a benign plotted to bury that person's essence.

If it was not wrong for Jesus to curse the fruitless fig-tree for failing to bring forth fruit for him when in stomach desperation, it is also right to dish those who strive that we may die their richly deserved due! Many who never qualify for disaster were forced to cater for the well-being of sadness. With honesty and trusting spirits they had related with their neighbors billions whose potentials were enrolled at the school of failure and talents nurtured for the graveyards.

The opposites trailed their lanes men worthily designed for victory in the race of life because some "saints" instructed by silly satans had squandered their evil grace on their future and aspirations. With impunity must they go, evil engineers with technically vast malignant conglomerates that indefatigably produce the human socio-political and spiritual hardships?

It is good if we could wish our tormentors the best they had ignobly prevented our existence from possessing, but it is better if we do not. It all depends on the level of pains accrued as utility from their evil. The Israelites could not forgive their deadly opponents; Jesus Christ did not forgive the irrelevant tree; Mohammed waged wars of principles against the moral apes of his days; and America and Britain hauled Hitler and Mussolini over the coals to restore the hope of the world.

Forgiving those that must ruin the vision of the truth on earth is an eccentric gesture. Those who live that we may die must die for us to live. There is less crime in offering evil as gift than in gratefully accepting it as if it were the best that aids the status of the exceedingly successful beings in the world.

Importantly, every action must be based on virtuous principles; no good should be dictated by evil, and no evil should be greeted with good, except when genuine repentance is seen, and total ethical submissiveness assured. None of the ethical instructions in the bible, or in any holy book, was ever successfully observed without investments in moral scruples. This is one of the ingredients of samaformism, this is godliness, which surpasses every widely respected spiritual or socio-economic appellations.

Proliferation of religious and ideological denominations is, I strongly suspect, accentuated by the human mentality to always supply their convictions, sane or inane, even to the uninterested, more moral buyers. It is not wrong to establish your own convictions, neither is it criminal to advertise one's personally invented wooly spiritual stupidity. Crime only lives in the transformation of an unjust, miniaturist belief, or a doctrine or tenet rubbished by morality, into an empire of influential currency. Truth is the only known culture and religion, justice the only valuable ideology.

I know that spurious spiritual doctrine, of whatever species, lords it over the minds of men. Never in the history of man, or in the chemistry of mortals' activities had merit been permanently humiliated, and no force of flashy sentiments can make misfortune a fortune.

Mortals who respect, and reward evil, or truth, devoid of virtuous outlines with entombable encomium for reasons of personal and denominational inflations are the greatest criminal sinners and failure of our race. None but a religious rogue regards the success of a failure - or arrogates pleasantness to an unpleasant spiritual concept. There is no legislation, religious or constitutional that can make evil a just trade.

In the name of God, cupid turpitude and selfish attitude reconcile lovers to perpetual sorrow. In the name of holiness pastors romance the devil's manhood by hyperbolizing the ruin witches and wizards could cause, neglecting the disaster their thinking standard and unwise conducts can impose, to arouse absolute docility from the congregation from which they satanically survive. Is the holy spirit the encourager of pastors who rock and roll with evil manufacturers?

Is Jesus their inspiration, prophets who sexually and economically abuse their congregations? Why on earth should a man of God be named in any fraud and shady spiritual transaction? Why shouldn't the truth be uniformly upheld? Why should the men of God and various priests of holiness embark on a superior miracle that sets free the race of man in place of the fraud that redeems individuals who must be encumbered by the threats and burdens of others'well-being?

Contexts alone capture the imports of great thoughts, and derailment is the status of any brain, which strays off the track of every positive spiritual, moral or socio- political intentions. Spiritualism is less than the truth, and ideologies inferior to justice.

Truth is greater than religious sects, and justice nobler than party affiliations.
