Most Nigerian Churches have joined the Western world to turn the universe into a feminine world.

I was in a Church today for a wedding. The officiating priest told the groom to always respect his wife and her decisions... that if he's a watching a live football match and the wife comes in and change the station to Zeeworld, that he shouldn't complain or walk out. He should sit and watch the Zeeworld with her.


This is the same reason I left my come-as-you-are kind of church.
They twist the scriptures to align with the popular media and Holly wood culture.
They avoid asking wives to submit to their husbands. Instead they ask husbands to submit to their wives. Also they shy away from condemning fornication and adultery.

All these and more are contrary to scriptures (anti Christ)

The pastor has a huge bias in favor of women.

NAIRALAND I ought to believe there's not any partiality on your post on RELIGION I notice the absolute reduction on ISLAM PAGE post on Friday! Shey make all the Muslim comot for the platform ni ?

If you wanted to be truthful, you would realise that the reason why the Islamic section does not have much engagement is because you have to take an oath before commenting.

It is either you guys tell Seun to remove the oath and get more engagements (good, bad and ugly) or maintain status quo and engage yourselves.

You can't eat your cake and have it.

CaveAdullam:
If you are born into a religious household, by default you become a religious person. Whether, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Christianity, etc.

As you grow up in such a household, you become entwined in the nitty-gritty of that religion if you want to become a household name in it, say you want to become an Imam, Pastor, Seer, or whatever. Or just the regular religious person.

When people no longer believe in religion, it is said religion that made them so. How?

If you're a rational person and passionate about your religious practice, you'll begin to test your religious scriptural texts, doctrines, and beliefs and compare them with real-world scenarios.

You'll experience a truckload of conflicts and discrepancies. Then, you'll discover that much of what you have come to believe is not true. All it takes is for you to be open-minded and scrutinize your religion and religious texts for some time. And once you are here, there's no going back.

Your religious colleagues will tell you that you've backslided. They will tell you that your faith isn't strong and you'll need to pray more, fast more, or do a lot of other religious shambles. But the fact here is that you are now enlightened and found out what religion is.

It's religious adherents that make religion of religious texts. Left for the texts themselves, they are necessary for learning and wisdom just like all other books.

However, the human mind is in search of God because of the wonders of nature, the mystery of the universe, and the complexities of life. So, God in the hearts of men encapsulates all of these conditions, ergo, man's love for God whom he hasn't seen. It's just a lot of mental gymnastics + emotional fluctuations + imaginative power + confirmation bias. That's the birth of God and the supernatural.

This is not to say that religion isn't sacrosanct. Religion is important to keep civilization in check. The knowledge of God, the belief in his existence, and reverence for religious texts as His writings and instructions for men have kept billions and billions of humans alive.

Why do I say this?

Remove religion from the earth's equation, and in less than 1 month, humans will cease to exist. On this ground, "religion is the opium of the masses".

It becomes hope for the hopeless who believe in the replication of signs, wonders, and miracles espoused in their religion + a sedative used by political leaders and religious leaders to dox the masses by capitalizing on their ignorance. This doesn't mean that these leaders aren't victims of religious indoctrination. Just that they are smarter than the average religious Joe.

There is nothing wrong with you man. You are now seeing religion for what it is.

There is nothing bad in going to church if you love the sounds, music, and religious people. Just for fun though and not because you're scared of missing heaven and heading to hell.

The truth indeed sets you free.

Thanks.

Join a department you would enjoy serving in. Try to find expression through service. Using your God-given abilities is one sure way to find encouragement and satisfaction.

Ask anyone who belongs to a cult if they have ever lost interest in attending any of their meetings but those who profess to serve God serve him as they desire and according to their own will. if the pastor says if you don't come to church these are the consequences (.....list them) you'll never miss church. if you don't serve God freely without coercion then you'll serve the devil by force in suffering and pain. Your life is on the highway down another path, I hope you don't lose your soul.

To the CORNfused entity___ Realman50.

Being religious in line with Christianity or Islam is a process of harbouring long-lasting fears in our conscious and subconscious mind, for the single purpose not to take action against it.

So that when you even try to leave, it takes Grace for you to be able to beat those fears and be enlightened.

They instill fear in you.

You don't want to go to hell.

You fear your pastors; while you were made to believe that you should never do anything that will make them curse you, even in the face of wrongdoings.

Your own is to see this life as place not to be enjoyed.

Your dream is just to go to heaven. The heaven we never seen!

What if we die here on earth and the next planet we're to live is Jupiter?

...and the manner that people operate in churches nowadays will make you question whether this is a house of God or Sodomie.

Christianity and Islam are slavery instruments to keep Africans in the dark.

That is why Africa is the only backward continent in the world today and Nigeria is as corrupt and confused as hell.

Those technologies you use are not made by Christians or Muslims.

They are made by people that the duo termed Demonic.

With a copy of your holy book, social media app and GPTs, I still wonder why anyone goes out somewhere to listen to some other dudes telling them things they can simply research with their phones.


Going to Church isn't about one ability or level of spirituality or understanding of the word. For someone like myself I was faced with this dilemma until I realized a few things, I stopped and decided I was better off on YouTube and streaming and social medias services but I was wrong, reading the acts of the apostles made me realize so much about what we refer to as the body of the Christ.

You are a big part of the body of Christ, here are reasons I think may help you understand the need why you should join a church. For me I realized getting to church kept me strong and made me feel encouraged, remember as a body we function together, we are a family.

Atrocities being committed in the church especially by pastors is enough to stop one from going to church.

I have once ' a upon a time SU Uncle' who stopped attending church for 6 years now because he caught his pastor sleeping with his wife. This is same pastor that run rigorous 6 months marriage counselling programme with him and the wife before they were finally solemnised in holy matrimony by the same pastor.

To incur his wrath, just tell him that you are a pastor. That's the end of the discussion.

This is someone that was addicted to church and its programmes before. He won't miss any program irrespective of the time or location. The only audio materials in his house and car is either gospel music or semon.

The people at the altar has bastardized the grace and motivation.

Hardly anybody in Japan wastes their time in church and they live in one of the most organized and civilized societies on earth.

Churches like I have come to understand are for hypocrites, backstabbers, betrayals in summary evil and deadly people.

They only go to church cause of either guilty conscience or as a cover for all the evil deeds they have done and because they are plain horrible human being just trying to feel some sense of good which is them lying to their selves.

Aunty/Uncle if you are reading this you are a horrible human being and no amount time spent in a building can save you just do the needful worship the DEVIL your master don't be shy.

Religion is one of the biggest deception in the world.
Just know GOD for your self. Going to church every now and then is not a yardstick for knowing GOD.
John the Baptist was in The wilderness for several years, he never visited any synagogue, but while he was there, he sought after GOD and knew GOD Experientially...

First, "[e]ternity is forever" is tautology. Secondly, any claims about existence must be made synthetic not analytic. There is no single proof for heaven or hell. Stop propagating and reinforcing myths and folklores as facts.

I agree with you but sometimes its good you meet face to face with others. If you don't need help, others will meet you and ask for help.. I think its one of the reasons why the Bible says do not despise the gathering of the brethren.. it comes with many advantages.

quote author=wunmi590 post=126271175]

Not everybody who goes to church believed in God, if you know you are not interested in going, stay home and pray to God...

There's no place God doesn't answer prayers, as long ad you believe in that God, you will recieve everything you ever pray for, even your friends will think you do ritual, when you are being blessed......[/quote]

Organised religion is a tool for control and manipulation of Africans. Our culture and spirituality is the way forward.

THANK YOU.

One thing I’ve noticed recently is that many Africans are waking up from the trance of colonial indoctrination and brainwashing of which Christianity is a major part.

Many are returning to an updated African spirituality. Even in the black diaspora of the US and Caribbean, many have dropped Christianity and adopted IFA spirituality.

I see this trend gaining ground in the years and decades ahead.

I personally believe that once we return to our ancestral faiths and philosophies, it would lead to a profound, positive change in our circumstances.

What we need to start doing now is to build temples of traditional spirituality like our ancestors did in Nubia, Egypt, and elsewhere in antiquity.
