Pastor Mike Todd Spits on Christianity

-
A video of an Oklahoma Pastor has gone viral and the public outrage can't seem to subside. During a demonstration, Pastor Mike Todd of Transformation Church made several individuals in the audience and online unhappy by wiping spit down the face of another attendee to demonstrate that "receiving God's vision can sometimes be nasty."

A gasp could be heard from the audience after the motion.

At a time when the world is yet to recover from Covid-19 pandemic and as new variants emerge, such behaviors from within the church is as childish and incentive just to be conservative with words. 

Drew A Thomas, an online commentator wrote, "The Mike Todd situation is exactly why we need more faithful Bible teaching churches, not entertainers who seek to go viral every Sunday. 

I’m all for the practicality of sermons being explained, but when is enough enough?"

One very important aspect of Mike Todd's display is the celebrity status attained by pentecostal church leaders, which most cases make them show men, taking the center stage more than Christ whom they claim to preach. 

Such action by the Tulsa Pastor puts Christianity at a slaughter slab of social critics and a world constantly losing it's religious appeal. 

"What he (Pastor Todd) did has nothing to do with God. As someone in a position of authority, he will be held to a higher level of accountability. This is why people want nothing to do with Christians right now, and why I no longer identify as one even though I still believe in God," Trisher_F noted.

The real issue here is, who is going to stop the excesses of religious leaders before they turn cult leaders like the Mad Messiah, Jim Jones of the Guyana tragedy? How long will it take before this Pastor or anyone tests an Ak 47 weapon on a church member to "illustrate" how divine protection works? The followers may as well be at greater risk.

Fat women are still beautiful: but beware of obesity

Obesity is a disease that has been a worrying issue in the world today, more and more ladies particularly in the Western world today are conscious of the stigma that is attached to being overweight. Any perceived or actual increase in size is often seen as an anathema which is as a source of social disapproval. While some are naturally slim, others are plump as encoded in their genes. Social acceptance or disapproval of body structure emanates from the culture of the society and passed on from generation to generation. African men (not all) are particularly wary of slim women, whom they label as unfed, sick, bony and are symbolically compared to the letter 1, stick or a tiny broom. In sexual terms they tag them as not 'handy', shortchanged and deprived of the vital body structures to get them aroused. They are favourably inclined to fat women, they believe these women are the endowed. To be a plump woman means beauty to the African man. To him, she is handy, and fleshy to per

CHILD MARRIAGE: I'M GETTING MARRIED TO MY "GRANPA"-THE WISH OF THE GODS?

Child marriage is real and its consequences stare us in the face. its effects on the social well-being of the child, psychological and health cannot be over-emphasized. Where illiteracy and poverty abound, the effects become all consuming. My Sociological analysis is critical of religious dogma attached to some certain belief system and I promise to tackle the phenomenon without bias. I understand the emotional appeal which religion carries, I also understand the functions and its roles in bringing about stability and cohesion, psychological and moral function as well as its role in reconstructing social identity. I'm aware however, that religion has also been the bane of progress in many societies across the world stimulating conflict and resulting in loss of lives and properties. Adherents of religious belief attribute their actions as emanating from a divine authority and their behaviours are the manifestation of their moral duty to the divine. Sociologically speaking however

As women age, their bodies undergo various changes that can impact their sexual desire. Men who are in relationships with women, especially those who are approaching or have reached menopause, should understand these changes to keep the spark alive in their relationships. Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. It occurs when a woman's ovaries stop producing eggs, and her menstrual cycle stops. Menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. However, the symptoms of menopause can begin years before the actual menopause, during a phase called perimenopause. Perimenopause is a transitional period that can last anywhere between two to ten years. During this period, women may experience a wide range of symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness. These symptoms can affect a woman's sexual desire and may result in a decreased libido. The decrease in estrogen levels durin
