Religion and culture are such big components of each other, a lot of the time they seep into each other seamlessly, and some ideas get co-opted into the other.
Which is why it’s quite funny to me when as Africans, we bring our own prejudices to the white man’s religion we have co-opted; and then proceed to think we know the religion much better than the people who made it their mission to spread it around the world- whether through persuasion or by the sword.
So there are a lot of stuff that most of the world has moved on from, like an unhealthy aversion to natural phenomena like oral s*x and masturbation. We are basically a nation of prudes, and we use religion to justify our prudishness.
As the good Bishop noted, there’s practically nothing in the Bible against any of these practices. It hasn’t stopped the Catholic church from labelling them sins, although the prudishness of that organisation is legendary. But for most other Christians around the world, it is not even an issue to be considered; except for the Ghanaians who know better than everyone else.
Presiding Bishop of the Lighthouse Chapel International, the Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, has deigned to attract the wrath of Ghanaians by telling his congregation that there’s nothing wrong with oral s*x. He told his congregation that for couples ( we all know s*x is forbidden in Christianity unless you’re married- yh right) , there is nothing wrong with a little experimentation down there.
“I don’t think there is anything wrong with oral s*x because there is no red flag on any part of the body. Which law [states] that this place is not good; you can kiss here but you cannot lick here because kissing is licking” he asked his congregation, according to Adomonline.
“Why can’t you not kiss your wife’s vulva and why can’t your wife also kiss your p*nis; why can’t she hold it? It’s nice” he stressed.
“All these religious restrictions even prevent you from having the variations that you need to have exciting s*x.
“One of the advantages of oral sex is that the cl*toris needs to be stimulated and the tongue can do a good job because sometimes the finger stimulates the cl*toris so hard it becomes sore” he stated
This guy is r-rated. Except Ghanaians are losing their mind on social media, calling him a false prophet and all that. But there’s only one way to show who’s wrong, and that is the Bible itself.
We do not really know how to properly argue a position in this country. The Bishop said the good book you all worship has no injunction against oral s*x- so the onus lies on you show that he is wrong with an unambiguous bible verse. Anything less than that is just the hot air of ‘holier than thou’ hypocrites.
