Aug. 28, 2005 This was how he started. He hated the adulterous men who ran his country. He knew them very well - self professed religious men but whom when nobody was watching, would wrap their arms around abominable objects like young women, wine and cigar. Then he saw the gays and lesbian groups perambulating. They irritated him and his sense of decency. They reminded him of all the prophets had warned about. He was afraid they would take over the heavenly world he hoped for. That if not controlled, their plot to run the world might disrupt his diamond business, oil deals, and general mercantile across the globe. Already, he was in a battle with the abortionist. He considered them murders and would want a government that would stop them. If that government was not in place, he was ready to pledge his life and fortune to have such government. By his passion, you might think there was an attempt to abort him as a kid. But no, no, he was only concerned about the bewildering number of his potential converts, especially when his opponents at the other side were growing in power and strength. He was smart enough to know that his battle must start with locking up these loose women all over the place. Their fornication nauseated him. He saw their insatiable urge to have illicit sex as the only reason they screamed about women right. He knew they were possessed by the devil. And he was committed to the holy goal of doing something about it. After all, he never slept with another woman other than his wife and why should any man do otherwise. For the criminal elements, those who forsook the right way, he wanted them killed by the government. If a courageous government that would fry them were not in place, he would use his fortune and fame to put one in place. He despised criminals because all his business deals were clean and he could not understand why any man should commit crime to make a living. He had succeeded in convincing many that "thou shall not kill" referred only to unborn children. It was ok for his government to kill in the name of sanitizing society. It was ok for his followers to kill in the name of self-defense. It was ok for his soldiers to kill in the name of his God. To him, his religion was the supreme one. Anyone who worshiped another God was a sinner and he or she must be converted. If preaching did not work, maybe forced conversion must. His God was the only true God. Not long ago, he formed an organization that preached and recruited converts to his cause all over the globe. He went as far as wretched places in Africa and established a footing. He launched his campaign to support governments that agreed with his worldview and denounce those who opposed him. He used the television effectively. Well, in case you do not know, this is not Osama bin Laden that I am talking about. It is Pat Robertson, our own Osama. ------------ About the author: Rudolf Ogoo Okonkwo is a New York based freelance writer.
