There was a certain city, and in that city, there was severe drought.
The people thirsted desperately for fresh water and, in their bid to keep from dying of thirst, began to invent other liquids.

About three or four years ago, I assisted in working on a religious thesis. The project took me on a research of many religions of the world, and it was eye-opening to study their origins. Some of these psuedo-religions were blatantly anti-Christ and anti-God, but others were more subtle.
The most fascinating for me were those that seemingly had their origins in Christianity or ‘Christian’ experiences, but later deviated into error…
A young lad was brought to stay with us. His English was really bad. He could barely hear or speak the language.
When I spoke to him, I tried to speak slowly and in broken (Nigerian pidgin English) so he could understand me.

Immediately, my mum interrupted me sharply. “No.”
