Media personality Willis Raburu has come out to defend his wife Marya Prude over her ‘giving up on God’ statement following the death of their daughter.
"Everyone is so quick to tell me about God. What they don’t know is that every way I knew Him, He was tested and He didn’t prove Himself. So, as they say, you should know God for yourself, I now can say, I don’t know Him. And I don’t think I want to know him coz He left me when I needed him the most," posted Prude.
A message latched on and welcomed by The Atheists in Kenya Society, who through a tweet, urged her to join their community.
“It’s time for Willis Raburu’s wife to join our Society! She has finally realized that God doesn’t exist!” they tweeted.

Speaking during an interview with Word Is a while back, Raburu gave credited Prude for teaching him the virtue of patience and not heeding to unnecessary pressure.
“One of the greatest things my wife has taught me is to be happy at whatever state we are in. So we don’t really pay attention to pressures,” he said while commenting on the topic of societal pressure on couples to bring forth children shortly after a wedding.
"However, I will say this, society does put a lot of pressure on people to bring forth children and it's okay, but we all have to be sensitive to people's feelings because you never know what they have been through or are going through. We must, therefore, articulate our desires with a dose of sensitivity," he added.
