'repeatedly pleaded guilty to an 18-count charge of blasphemy levelled against him...' That means he finally accepted his ignorance and affirmed in God😀😀 Anyway, inasmuch I believe in God, 💯%, I don't ever believe fights like this should be carried out on God's behalf.

Misplaced priority in this enclave

This is reminding me of an essay I wrote: 'Why I don't want to believe in God?'

24 years for blaspheming 'Allah' with mere words. While, those who are sadistically and satanically killing innocent citizens across different parts of Nigeria in the name of 'Allah' are being rehabilitated and integrated into the society, isn't it? Hypocrites in high places!
