Like seriously?
Come on!
Notin wey man pikin no go hear!
When I first heard that, I was mad!
Condom a sin? How? Why? Where?
I can’t believe in this time and age, people still believe that using condoms is a sin.
How the heck did we even get to the stage where someone is questioning the use of condoms?
The saddening truth is that many churches are propagating this silly doctrine.
Indeed, it was a guy who described himself as an Evangelist who told us in no uncertain terms that: “Condom is a sin!”
The way he sounded, the authority emanating from him, you would think he just had dinner with Baba God and had a better blueprint of the laws than Moses.
This belief materialised in the birth of his six children by his wife, who happened to be my secondary school classmate.
Now, you may say that six children are not much, but we do not know if they might make a mistake and have a seventh child or more.
We all know that men’s balls are housed inside trousers and missed out on vital education. Most of these balls do not have common sense.
After all, religious people like our Evangelist brothers believe that children are from God and so should be welcomed, no matter how many kids they are.
You always hear such a mantra: “God will take care of them!”
As they employed God somewhere, to work and bring money to them, while theirs is to bang, have fun and keep spewing out babies.
Religion is the opium of the masses. It’s the only thing that can be used to tame or control a person, especially a housewife.
I have searched my mind several times on why Mabel should allow her Evangelist husband to browbeat her into having six kids and still counting.
Perhaps I need to paint the picture with words so that you can better understand the situation and appreciate my anger.
They are both unemployed!
They’ve been unemployed since they met in church and got married. Their marriage is based on what I discussed with you folks some weeks ago; yes, the will of God.
They believe God chose them for each other.
Marrying a person, who is not a member of the church, thus can’t be the will of God. It is the ultimate sin.
The guy calls himself an Evangelist and as such, sees no reason or sense in searching for a job. The only job he does is to wait for any church to invite him over, during special occasions to come and preach, after which he would be paid an honorarium.
If the condition of his wife and kids are anything to judge by, it means he’s a bad preacher and churches are probably not keen on inviting much.
According to him, God called him to do his work.
Part of his duty on earth, as God’s chosen one, is to bang Mabel whenever his one-eyed snake becomes agitated and hungry.
It appears that his one-eyed snake is always hungry, judging from the number of miscarriages that Mabel had and is still able to produce six kids.
His snake is always hissing at the doorway of Mabel’s Holy of Holies, frantic for entry into her wet folds.
The most annoying thing is that the burden of bringing up the kids falls on Mabel’s shoulders.
She’s the one who goes from friend to friend, begging for loans, which she would be given but had never refunded. Sometimes she would say the loan was for a start-up for business, but it’s all water runs dry, mafuskale. Lies!
The few times she did start up a business, it was usually the selling of little items like biscuits, chocolate, and sachets of detergent, among other things in front of the house.
But it usually doesn’t last a month or two before she goes back to another friend, seeking another financial assistance.
How can the business last when it’s the source of the breakfast, lunch, dinner, Electricity Bill and other bills? The children will have to wear clothes, they’ll have to go to school and those still using diapers will use them.
She doesn’t work, but her Evangelist husband is always quick to gobble up whatever she prepares and sets in front of him.
To hell with wherever she was getting the money! He just doesn’t care!
The couple has constituted themselves a nuisance to friends and appeared set on making themselves a burden to friends.
Friends who dared to ask them why they kept having children when both of them were jobless, were told by the self-righteous, sanctimonious husband that using condoms or his wife using contraceptives was a sin!
Can you believe that? I can’t even wrap my head around such a nonsensical statement.
Thus, having soothed his conscience with beliefs that are not scriptural or biblical, he continues to blast his wife’s furnace without a protective helmet.
I used to be a staunch member of the Deeper Life Bible Church…yes, how holier can you be, than being a member of Deeper Life…
Yet I was in the congregation, at Gbagada, Lagos when Gbagada used to be Deeper Life’s headquarters…I was in the church when Pastor William Kumuyi championed family planning.
Kumuyi kicked against couples who used to have many children and later distributed these children to different cousins, sisters and brothers to help in rearing them.
Today, a lazy guy, who doesn’t appear ready to work and hiding under religion, is telling me that using condoms is a sin. PLEASE!
Ironically, our Evangelist brother used to curse and abuse his wife wherever she got pregnant. He complained that she used to get pregnant and have babies like a dog! He wanted her to have self-control over the way she was having babies.
Jeez!
Is this guy real? He wants to eat his cake and have it. Please folks, those of you that are religiously inclined, tell me, is using condoms a sin?
I don’t believe it myself. How can you continue to have children you can’t provide for, all in the name of religion?
How can you not checkmate the way the babies are rolling out, especially since science has provided a means and ways to checkmate such occurrences?
We have tried several times to urge Mabel to use contraceptives without her husband’s knowledge, but she felt it was a sin not to tell him or to use them.
And then we told her to refuse him sex, especially on her unsafe periods, she had looked aghast.
God, what has religion turned people into?
Sometimes words seem so trite in explaining situations. I wish you had seen Mabel and her children to understand. You would have felt for them.
Even the Evangelist is not looking well. He looks lean and wears threadbare clothes. Mabel on the other hand looked like a stick that could be snapped into two and blown away by an angry Harmattan wind.
You may talk of natural methods of curtailing pregnancies like a woman monitoring her circle and the guy embarking on a withdrawal method, but these methods fail 85 per cent of the time. I wouldn’t waste my time on them.
Please Do Tell Me: How Is Using Condoms A Sin?
