Ese Walter Ark, wife of Cool Fm OAP, Benny Ark shot into public
consciousness in 2013 when she made public her alleged sexual
relationship with married COZA Pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo. Before the
confession, she penned a heartfelt public letter to Jesus, thanking Him
for giving her the grace to forgive.
The note read:
The note read:
"Today I say thank you. Thank you for staying with me like you
said you would. Thank you for your Spirit that leads and guides me into
all truth and continues to lead me even when I insist on holding on to
a lie. Thank you for not allowing me die before my time. Thank you for
the hope and assurance in my heart. Thank you for helping me develop a
stronger sense of purpose."
It however came as a surprise when earlier this month she took to her Facebook page to denounce religion and everything that has to do with it. She says she no longer believes in God, but at the same time doesn't regard herself as an atheist, but rather as a humanist.
Here is what she wrote below:
Continued from up:
I have gotten to a place in my life where
I am in touch with the inner me, the essence, the love that is in all
humans. And that helps me see other beings as myself. In the past when I
was a christian, I thought anyone that didn't worship like me or
believe in the god I claimed to believe was an enemy. That separation
made me judge, hate and criticise others who believed different from me.
This is probably why I don't do well in
groups. Anytime there is a group of people bound by beliefs or the lack
of, that group can easily slip into that place of separateness where
everyone outside the group sparks the "we vs them" narrative.
This is one reason I don't identify as
atheist. I think atheists have this "we vs them" mentality too. Its the
same thing I see with the LGBT community, they call themselves family,
and people like us who don't have qualms with them are allies, while the
homophobic lot are the "vs them" divide.
I identify as a humanist and my belief is the greatest good for all life forms on the planet.
BIL: I understand. I also think you will find your way back to god.
Me: I just realised that talking about
god, religion and the many ills in the world is the reason I think
change is impossible. I suspect tomorrow (today) will be the last time I
give my energy to religion. I'd rather focus on reminding humans of
their humanity.
BIL: That's a good place to be.
Me: I think so too.
P.S: Dear religious people, I am done
talking about your religion and beliefs. Feel free to remind me anytime I
forget and get pulled into religious talks or arguments.
Sending you Love + Light this new week.
Namaste.
I feel so sorry for her! Lord i pray she regains her senses and finds her way back to you
