Lusaka Musician Insults God, Sparks Outrage
By STAFF REPORTER
EARTHONE, A Lusaka based singer from the singing band Ghetto Link has gotten himself involved in an ‘online war’ with Christians from different denominations following his continued scathing attacks on God and clergymen.
Earthone who is known in the music industry for the role he played in secular hits songs such as ‘Electricity’ claims to be an atheist (a person who doesn’t believe in the existence of God). He adds that he was born in a Christian family, went to church regularly and studied the bible but decided to quit Christianity because he felt that his church leaders failed to answer some of the religious questions he raised. He also claims that he became an atheist because he was certain that the Bible contradicts itself. The singer who is thought to be in his late 20s says he has been an atheist for the past 15 years.
Earthone, being an active ‘Facebooker’ has since taken to Facebook to register his misgivings about the Christian religion and its beliefs. Recently, Earthone posted a message on his Facebook page in which he charged that the Bible was fabricated and contained false stories.
In other posts which were reposted by Muvi TV on its Facebook page, Earthone goes further to blaspheme God saying if at all he exists, He is a bully, irresponsible and uncaring. In most of his posts, he questions why God says he loves mankind and yet allows wars, famine and other evils to torment innocent people.
“So, why does your Almighty God answer your prayers when you pray for a job, money, new car or anything at all but ignores all the starving children in the world?” he asks in one of his posts.
According to Earthone, believing that God exists is the same as believing that Spiderman or Santa Clause exists. He argues that Christians should not use the Bible to prove that God exists because doing so is not different from using a comic book to prove that Spiderman exists.
He claims further that all successes scored by an individual are because of that individual’s personal efforts and not God’s favour or blessings on that person. He cements this claim by saying that if personal successes were as a result of God’s blessings, how come many atheists are successful and yet many Christians live in abject poverty despite praying and fasting day and night.
But these blasphemous Facebook posts have not been received well by some Christians on the popular social networking site.
In response to one such post, Rabson Tembo, a Facebook user commented: “ You (Earthone) must be sick in your head. You need both spiritual and medical mental checkup. No wonder you are a failure of an artist.”
When reminded by Maureen Kahana that his claims that God doesn’t exist are not surprising because even the Bible says ‘the fool says in his heart that God doesn’t exist,’ Earthone arrogantly extorts a corrupted version of the same Bible verse saying: “A fool says in his heart, there is no God but the wise say it loud,lol!”
As the debate became heated with tempers flaring among believers (judging from the tone of their comments), one user Aaron Zyambo called on other people who were commenting not to continue arguing with Earthone but pray for him because he was lost.
Others lamented the fact that Earthone if not brought before the presence of God in the soonest possible time may use his fame and influence to mislead many weak souls loitering around Facebook and other social networking sites.
Later, Earthone commented that it pleases him to see Christians getting furious when he insults God.
“It’s fun to watch the God lovers bang their heads on the wall in protest. And where is your God anyway? He can’t even defend himself. I thought so, nowhere…..thats coz daaaaa, he doesn’t exist,” he commented.
Earthone who claims to be an evolutionist says he wants to become a Scientist because in as far as he is concerned, Science answers many questions which religion fails. He appears to have a distorted understanding of the creation of the world according to the Bible explanation. He also appears to misunderstand the role of Satan on earth because all too often he questions why God despite knowing that Satan was dangerous banished him from heaven and threw him here. He also admits to not understanding why God allows the devil to do as he pleases on earth. Further, Earthone has serious misconceptions about the holy trinity.

My fellow Zambian Earthone,the Bible is the most true word of God and it was not fabricated as you put it,if God doesn’t exits who do you think created you?
you can insult Him but Him will never and never insult nor hate you.you are His image and He still loves you more than you know.My friend i know you are not yourself the Devil wants you in hell but God wants you in heaven.God loves you repent and acept His Son Jesus who died for your sins.

We see the Bible not as it is but as we are.
You are simply defining yourself, not the bible.

If you take the bible as a ‘book’, you will obviously see “many errors n contradictions”.
The Bible is God Talking to you and me.Pray and seek for understanding before you even read it.God is Spirit, and without the Holy Spirit, you are simply reading a book.
Scripture says…”a fool says there is no God”.
One Philosopher said…’I would rather live life as if there is God and find out later that there is no God than live life as if there is no God and find out later that there is God’
It will be too late my friend!

@dudelove, I am glad you agree with me that if there is a borrower definitely there is a lender. In this case scientists being borrowers, need God the lender, the Creator of every seen and unseen thing.

@ Called Wise, am actually agreeing with what uday has said. In your case, I only agreed to the part where u said scientists did not create the elements that they use to invent things. what I disagree with is that these elements have been attributed to god. The thing about atheists is that we admit when we do not know something but what we do not do is declare that god made it without verifiable proof. do you really believe that the world is 6000 years old as stated in the bible irrespective of the discovery of fossils dating back millions of years?

All the beliefs are just picked up and not our own. Further someone’s belief system is influenced by his/her location on the planet. These Christians if they were born in India for instance, they would be Hindus today.
