Amen

Wonders will never end. When I think of the kinds of things we see on social media everyday, I get goosebumps. 

Almost everyday on Facebook, you get added to incessant unnecessary groups which you never bargained for. In those groups you see pictures of impaired people with sentences that say:
"If you scroll and pass without typing Amen, you will die".

What amazes me is how thousands of people just keep on typing "Amen"; it never ends. Do you know what you're saying Amen to? Do you know the meaning of Amen? 

Incase you've forgotten, Amen is usually said at the end of a prayer to confirm affirmation. You go online, see a post with no explanation and you type "Amen". Do you know if the poster is prayer for you to get the disease? 

Hmmmm as for the people always putting up such posts, especially the 'you will die if you don't type Amen' (yes, I really have problem with these people in particular), I've something to say to you: 

Shut up. Are you God?

This sort of domineering prayer wasn't what Jesus Christ taught us. You'd be surprised at the many number of "likes" and comments that such posts get. 

As for you who is always quick to type "Amen", next time before you do so, atleast know what you're confirming affirmation to.
