Popular and controversial Nigerian OAP, Daddy Freeze has reacted to the recent statement by a pastor who warned Christians against watching ‘Game of Thrones’, a popular TV series.
PREMIER NEWS recalls a clergy, identified as Pastor Victor Eghan on Facebook had on Saturday said Christians who watched Game of Thrones, were at risk of hellfire.
He, therefore, urged them to desist from watching the popular serial TV show.
However, Daddy Freeze, in his reaction via his Instagram page on Sunday, differed with the opinion of the pastor, saying his statement is hypocritical.
He said:
“Dear Pastor, it is absolutely un-scholarly and downright hypocritical to tell people to stop watching `Game of Thrones` without telling them to also stop reading the Bible, because there is hardly any difference between the story lines of both.
“Game of Thrones had 865 deaths, the Bible had more than two million; David killed 200 men and cut their foreskins just to arry Saul’s daughter.
“Game of Thrones had 17 rape cases; the Bible also had many: David’s daughter Tamar was raped by her own brother Amnon.
“Dinah, daughter of Jacob and Leah, was also raped and her brothers committed murder in their revenge.
“While many scholars suggest that David himself raped Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother; Solomon also murdered his own brother Adonijah because of a girl called Abishag.
“Game of Thrones had 144 scenes of naked people.
“The Bible also has a major scene; David dancing almost naked in front of the whole city, while Christ himself was stripped naked publicly and beaten before being crucified.’’
“You say there are prostitutes in game of thrones. Aren’t Christ, David and Solomon all descendants of a prostitute named Rahab?
“Therefore, this submission is ignorant and does very little to showcase anything apart from your ignorance of the scriptures.’’
