Religion Saga

 

Just before leaving the room, Ade’s roommate, an unbeliever, confronts him as he is on his way to St. Peter’s Chaplaincy for evening fellowship.

Bola: where are you going?

Ade: to fellowship. Why do you ask?

Bola: nothing, just wanted to know.

Ade: ok. See you when I come back

Bola: but wait o.

Ade: ehen… what is it?

Bola: what do you people gain from all these fellowship things?

Ade: “I am not understanding”. What are you talking about?

Bola: I mean, you people that carry bible around and speak in tongues. What do you people gain?

Ade: I don’t have time for your arguments now, I’m already late for fellowship. I know you are against religion, but that is not my business.

Bola: Oh… you see, you cannot even defend yourself. Believing in an imaginary god and carrying a book full of lies around…

Ade: Bola, please stop this now. I don’t even know why I’m still standing here and letting you ask me these useless questions.

Bola: Ah! Mogbe!… so I’m now asking nonsense questions abi?… it’s alright. Ma binu o, I will not ask again.

Ade: better

Bola: but bros mi. who wrote the bible?

Ade: it was written by men who had inspiration from the Holy Spirit.

Bola: I said it, so you fellowship and church people have been living your lives according to the dictates of your fellow men.

Ade: I said they got inspiration from the Holy Spirit…

Bola: where you there with them? Besides, which Holy Spirit? So some spirits are holy and others are unholy.

Ade: hia… brother, all I can tell you is to seek God. He is everything you will ever need. Stop living this faithless life you are living.

Bola: I am not…

Ade: God sent His beloved son, Jesus, to die for our sins, all you need to do is ask him to be your Lord and Saviour.

Bola: what are…?

Ade: sorry, I don’t have time for more arguments. Just think on these things. See you when I come back.

Bola: (aside) hmmm… this boy has grown wings o. it’s alright. Maybe there is a true God, but who can tell? Well… perhaps, this Holy Spirit can explain better.
