Why is the Ghanaian Christian God so cruel?
The Ghanaian Christian God has always been cruel, demanding, and utterly bereft of grace.

Sermons like the Archbishop’s tell us that sometimes God does inflict pain to test our faith. This God makes the cruelest God in Kumawood films seem merciful (not that I believe our indigenous religious practices are what ignorant filmmakers portray).
