Delusional people doing crazy things in the name of religion – KSM
Comedian Kwaku Sintim-Misa has said some
“delusional” people in Ghana are hiding under
the cloak of religion to do unthinkable things.

Commenting on the infamous video which captures
Bishop Daniel – founder of the International
God’s Way Church – stomping on a pregnant
woman’s belly during an exorcism session, “The
Saga of a Returnee” star, suggested that human
rights regulations are being taken for granted in
the country, especially because pastors get away
with wrongdoing under the “guise of
religiosity.”

“We can’t take democracy as a demonstration of
craziness. That’s how we are practising
democracy here,” KSM told Kwabena Anokye Adisi
on STARR CHAT Wednesday night.

A 42-second video, which has gone viral on social
media, captured the church leader repeatedly
stomping on the pregnant woman to, apparently,
free her of demons.

Several groups, including the MamaYe Campaign and
the Alliance for Reproductive Health Rights (ARHR)
have condemned the act.

Motivational speaker Rev. Albert Ocran on Tuesday
also joined calls for criminal charges to be
pressed against the Bishop.

KSM, who belongs to the same school of thought as
Ocran, said church leaders must not be allowed to
inflict harm on vulnerable people in the name of
religion.

“…It’s like Oooo, its freedom of religion,
you can take your foot and stomp on a pregnant
woman under the guise of anointing?” he asked.
“...Some of these people are deluded,” he
said.
