1. Because no one will report you and have a death fatwa on your head like some religion like that where fasting is eye-service.
2. Because this is 2017 and religion is fast becoming old and giving way to the gods of technology. Reference : American Gods TV series wink
3. Because they have realized that you can be good, do good and selfless service on your own accord not because some religious book said so.
4. Because the internet provides the required knowledge to show that religion is a sham and this is easily accessible
5. Because no one enjoys routine acts and repeated preaching they have been hearing since childhood.
6. Because atheists are doing a good job at presenting their arguments. tongue
7. Because (some)youths are dynamic people who don't like being stagnant and will return to the church later in their sixties when life becomes boring and routine. angry

what if it's the Satan and God hijacked it?... be open minded brov!

anybody to give me personal experience?
There's a tribe in the Amazon jungle known as the piraha. Here's an excerpt about them from Wikipedia
According to Everett, the Pirahã have no concept of a supreme spirit or god, [8] and they lost interest in Jesus when they discovered that Everett had never seen him. They require evidence based on personal experience for every claim made.

That is natural, common sense in action amongst an unlettered tribe in the Amazon. Yet if as an educated person you ask for evidence they start calling you names.

The church is in our heart that is where God lives.

The others na building.

The pastors squeeze out money.

There are different churches with different doctrines, and they claim they serve one God.

I stopped going to church the year we had financial problems and our pastors changed towards us. that was 14years ago.

Whenever my any of my friends drag me to church, all I see is competition- whose make up looks better? who has the finest car? who is the best slay mama? who is cuter, who has the best voice, who can dance better? who drops More money in church

And single ladies desperately looking for maga/husband dressed in provocative outfits.

Guys looking for women to grace their bed.

All those churches that have schools, how.many of their church members can send their children to the schools?

And...

what the hell r these pastors doing with private jets and very expensive cars while most members cannot afford a decent apartment and even motorcycle?

Pastors are yahoo boys

Church members are magas.

I am a christian, I believe in God, I am not a church goer.

I've read many comment here, I'd call it excuses, if you die today and you stand In front of God, He ask you this same question the op ask, what will you say ? are you going to church for pastors sake or to make right with God ? is Jesus wrong by entering the synagogue and read from the book of Isaiah ? bottom line, reading all the comment here on nairaland further prove that this generation worship men rather than God, because if you worship God, NO acts done by evil men will stop you from going to church.

same here I only go for new year vigil yearly

you only go for new year vigil yearly and you're still breathing... And that doesn't shock you? that should show you how faithful God is to you... Not minding the fact that you've not been seeking his presence... Just imagine if at all God was a man and you did same to him... Do You think he'll spare you... I bet your answer will be NO... I really wonder how you feel when you say you only go to church once a year... (it makes you Happy?)

dude HELL is real!... Run to Jesus now... Cause You can't save yourself... Going to church builds you up and makes your faith stronger... forget what others are saying here... It will only mislead you and harden your heart from going to church making you think God doesn't speak through men any more...

Its very funny and expected, that almost everyone who has spoken blames external factors as their reason for not going to church.

Nobody blames himself
Nobody blames herself.
Everyone has something else to blame.

But go and check, u will find many are hooked on sin and immorality

The will to serve God doesnt rely on any external factors
It relies on you.
Used to believe that till I realized that my problem ran deeper that this old line. In fact, it was never that old line.

For example, it takes every gut I have to summon the courage to go to classes, market or even come out of my house. I go through this every day.

You plan what cloth you will wear to abate your appearance as a looser. You plan how you will walk, talk, adjust your facial expressions.

All this in a bid to push through the surface of the rivers of social awkwardness that toils day and night to drown your mind, body and soul out.

Sometimes you just want to let go and give it all up.

And you wonder why someone like me was not in church this morning?

You. Have. No. Idea. What. It. Feels. Like.

Never generalize.

pls don't quote Bible while telling me about him from your own experience.....I do stop reading posts whenever I sight Bible verse in it!

We think alike. But mine isnt when trying to explain God only but on everything entirely.

tunjijones:


Number 6 really applies to me. I lost interest in church because my mom forced all of us to go to church. We went to church almost 4 times in a week. We went to Virgil every last Friday and we fast 3 days every month... Prayers in the morning was by force.. You get slapped if you don't open ur mouth and sing in morning prayers even if u are still feeling sleepy. With all these I lost interest. My parents were not making me love to be a Christian. They were forcing it to be. I am not an atheist but I don't even knw what i think abt religion anymore.

Try discussing the issue with your mum. Perhaps you feel the number of church service is overwhelming. My dad used to be like that and I didn't like it..... Until he passed on then I realized the true value of personal devotion time. I'm sure she mean the best for you. Try to see beyond her seemingly overbearing attitude. Regards
