I was aiming to beat my record for 2009 by publishing more than 6 blog posts in a month, but I guess I'm going to have to settle for matching the record set in July. I suppose I can drop another post after this one just cos but I feel that would be gratuitous.

I don't normally blog about religion on this site, but sometimes things come up that move me to blog. A week or so ago I heard about a well respected pastor that said he died for four days and went to heaven. He said that he saw another well respected female pastor in hell. Now this was bizarre to say the least. I mean even you take the man's claims at face value what will he gain by mentioning the female pastor.

I realised why he did it last night when I heard the reason for the female pastor being in hell. Get this, this pastor claimed that the female pastor was in hell because of her dressing. Her dressing! This guy got up on stage and said this.

I was livid when I heard this. To my mind the guy has just proven that he was in a 4 day coma and had a very nice dream but people were seriously discussing this pastor's report like it meant anything. I mean I know that Nigerian's are a patriarchal society, but to believe that dressing is a sin that condemns people to hell is a poor reflection on us.

I wonder why we let pastor's get away with saying things like this, but I guess that is part of the price we pay for putting our pastor's on pedestals. His church should make him apologize both to his own congregation and definitely to the husband of the pastor he defamed. That is not really enough, cos to my mind someone who can say that is not fit to pastor a church, but then again that's just me.
