Perfect!!! Nigeria, Africa and Middle east bastardized religion

What is life to you? I believe you will not tell me it is about this transient experience of 10,20 -----99years. You feel if corona gets you today(God forbids), you have completed your circle like the grass>

Like it or not, we came from someone and we are going back to Him to give account.

God bless you

Yes, I believe in Christ Jesus. I believe there's God because I've experience a lesson learnt from God himself. But without going to church or taking church serious, why I study my Bible at home and avoid wrong doing. Will that be okay? Remember it base on the topic Sir!

There is no place where JESUS said you must go to Church to be Saved!

The purpose of church is to have fellowship with fellow Luke minded brethren and to edifying one another!

It's also to help those who are weak in faith!
Not Everyone can stay without the Church.

Something some of us already did since the early 2000s. The moment I realized the scam of Islam and Christianity me I just japa and connected to Eledumare directly. No middle man needed. No book needed. No Imam needed. No pastor needed. DIRECTLY

Your relationship with God and Christ is what matters not any religious organization.

the Europeans and Americans that stopped going ti school dont feel the necessity because they have people helping the country to develop but in Nigeria and Africa we need young people to go to school than worship centers because we are still underdeveloped, we need the young minds to depend on themselves than depending on God because is not coming to help the continent, we will help ourselves.

Oga, going to school and church are not mutually exclusive. That is the point I am making. I am a firm believer in God and the church, yet it didn't stop me from completing my education.
At the peak of British civilization, it was largely a Christian nation. Same can be said about many other Western European nations, even America.
Yes, we will help ourselves but we don't need to stop going to church to do that. Most people spend less than 2-4 hours in church every week out of 168 hours they have in a week. How come church takes the blame? What do they do with the remaining 164-166 hours?

na lie b4 wat have u guys done for dis country ...all u do cum here say to Islam and christainity are cause of Nigeria's problem but u have done nothing to help..I blame pepo wey dey follow u argue...u are here claiming intelligence and u never use ur intelligence do something wen we pepo take know u .

My guy, nobody dey claim intelligence here .

I'm only trying to unravel the minds of some people here to retract from religiousness .

If Christians have the right to persuade and preach their religion willfully, I see no reason why I can't .


And Yes, before you start shouting - what has atheists done -, I see no reason to allocate individual achievement to the individual's religion or belief .

Oga, my point to you is that no part of the world is perfect. People may have the good things of life in the West but doesn't necessarily mean they are happier than their African counterparts. There are rich people who suffer from depression and endless crises in their homes, while some poor people are living in peace and tranquility. Peaceful life is beyond the material things we can see.

What the governments of the US and European nations are doing don't summarise the lives of average citizens of those countries. Whether America is able to steal from Venezuela or not has little or nothing to do with the quality of lives of average Americans. There is no documented proof that Americans were happier 30 years ago than they are now.

"Instead of going to school, we are going to church..." What kind of rubbish talk is that? Did anybody tell you they couldn't go to school because they were going to church? Schools are open from Monday to Friday while churches are open on Sundays. Has anyone been denied of going to school because of church?
Today, there are many Europeans and Americans who no longer go to school (beyond secondary or high school). Many of them don't even go to universities anymore yet at the same time, they don't go to church. How come you're linking poor education with going to church?
the Europeans and Americans that stopped going ti school dont feel the necessity because they have people helping the country to develop, but in Nigeria and Africa we need young people to go to school than worship centers because we are still underdeveloped, we need the young minds to depend on themselves than depending on God because is not coming to help the continent, we will help ourselves.

With my personal Experience, Observation and inner conviction, I think I dont want to be part of any religion again. This thing is truely an opium of illusion meant for people who cant take their destiny in their hands and for a sheeple masses.

Despite withdrawing from religion I found myself even having a better moral compass which I cant explain. We are throwing away common sense, hardwork and universal principles to leave in illusion. At the end of my observation I have come to the conclusion that its what you do for yourself that counts more.

When I see poor people dying of hungry in a country which have the capacity to be the global industrial hub I know we have throw away common sense, Nigeria biggest investment to South Africa is Religious buildings (Church) while here in Nigeria the South Africans brought us MTN, DSTV, SHOP RITE e.t.c which employs thousands of people and gives profit to our Investors inventing in the stocks and shares of those companies I realise religion is lack of common sense.

No amount of religion can make you succesful without application of common sense.
No amount of religion can make your marriage succesful without application of common sense and consideration for your partner.
No amount of religion can a nation grow and prosper without application of common sense, productivity and good policies.

At the end of it I think am leaving religion, its not worth it. Even uprightness and moral comes from a person inner conviction and not because of religion.

lol im getting you point somehow but you are going to church with convenient and educated people as i can see but thats not the case for most Nigerians Christians, i was born and i lived most of my important teenage age in osun, i almost became a pastor from the brainwashing from the pastors,i even did 3days white fasting and prayer to pass my waec and the painful part is a later changed my surname after some revelations which rendered my waec useless, and let me make you laff,the exam i fasted for,i cheated in most calculation subjects.

Your observations are very right and valid.You don't need religion to succeed but just believe there is God and ask to have a relationship with him.I go to church but I have never played church nor let the whims and caprices of man's philosophy to guide my decisions in life.But I know and believe there is God that is all that matters.


Just believe , no questions asked In life I've come to see that anything you can't question or criticise is usually a fraud.
