I think you all need to be
angrier than you have been. I’m referring to those who have managed to lose
heads over my post on religion. Your hair needs to catch fire too. Until then,
I am still ranting.
I assume the kind of praise
that will make God very happy could be something of these sorts:
The praise of Community
Development and National Growth, which starts from the details of your
lifestyle and your choices.
Praise God by ensuring your
worship centres do not cause agonizing traffic. How do you reconcile road
distress with a perfect God? How?
Praise God by being efficient
employees at your place of work. Give more than is required. Ensure the company
grows. Do not hold back your ideas for when you want to start your own
business. Care greatly about where your salary comes from. If you don’t
contribute to its growth, how do you justify praising a God of progress?
Praise God by NOT praising God
when it is time to work. Let those hands you point to heaven come down and
work. Work, damn it.
