As a proud Christian (A catholic) I keep telling everyone that excess diversity/Freedom we now have in Christianity is the #1 contributor to it's recent constant decline globally.

Christianity started declining immediately other christian sects started breaking away from the vatican (The Catholic church).
It was a big mistake and I think the vatican should have done even more to hold the church and religion together.

Cos now every psychopath named Joe or Lizzy can now invent their own "church" for profit or God knows what.. each with their own different weird doctrine.... Making Christianity look bad and like a total joke in general.

You might think i'm saying this because I'm a catholic, but I'm not... I'm only stating the fact.

If Christianity had stick to the first church (The Catholic) it would still have it's old glory, influence, dominance and global respect till today... atleast.

Now I'm not saying that the Catholic is perfect, it sure has its own short comings too,but there is no doubt that it's the most mature,organized,most conservative and probably the most disciplined of all the christian group/sect till today. This remains the fact... regardless how much you hate the catholic church and the ugly things your hate filled envious "Pastor" has told you about the catholic church(That doesn't have his or her time)

In addition... I also have much respect for few other christian sects, such as the Orthodox and Anglican church... just to be fair.

There's a reason why gods take after the people that worship them.

For example, Indians and their Hinduism, Chinese and Buddhism, Jews and Judaism, Europeans and Christianity, Arabs and Islam.

But coming to Africa, no one wants to be proud of their indigenous religion, they'll rather see it as demon worship.

Religion and Gods are forms of self expression and identity.

If I assume a foreign religion, I also assumee their identity and consciously and subconsciously see my salvation in another land other than mine.

Be specific in your approach, let me know how to respond to your view.

We made them barbaric.
They weren't barbaric.
We chose to appease them by extreme means.
They never chose.
We made them respond the way we wanted.
Their response was directly proportional to our choice of appeasement.

That's why when the barbaric rituals ceased, nothing happened.
Who is we? You are always free to practice what you fancy but dont hurt your neighbour please.

Agreed, our various African religions just like every other, Christianity inclusive had a few flaws here and there, but if we had stuck with it, we would have evolved just like Christianity.

And we still wonder why Africa is not as developed as Europe or america when we abandoned our Gods for theirs.
Even when they left us as colonies we by our selves are going to them to enslave us with menial jobs and some fancy IT or medical profession.... Professions their own citizens refuse to do

But it's never in doubt that the Judeo-Christian God is an embodiment of good and evil.

Isaiah 45:7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things


Job is another case in point

Job was on his own when the sons of God gathered, Lucifer inclusive (for those who need to hear the obvious, yes, Lucifer is a son of God) and God bragged about job and even prompted Lucifer to go mess him up, Lucifer never even had that idea, it was the all loving God that conceived that idea.

Tell me again who is evil?

Stay away from churches, return back to your ancestral beliefs. Church is a political product of colonialism,whose intended purpose of creation has already been achieved which is no longer relevant or useful any longer, but our con men pastors are now syphoning the economic leftovers into their pockets.

Is it different from a so called house of love and empathy owning slaves mostly Africans.
So in the church's mind African are less humans fit for slavery in plantations and mines .
Heck most of those cathedrals that dotted your towns and cities were built with slave labour...

Until Africans realise to that they have to go back to their Gods they will remain slaves forever.

Only Jesus remains the way, the truth and the life! Repent now and surrender your life to Him, so as to be free from the ancestral spirits that give you this diabolic ideology and more so, from eternal destruction in hell!

Africans must wake up.

I prefer the first generation Nigerian christians to what we have now who run about like a headless chicken.

The likes of Pa Ogunbiyi even while a renown evangelical still stayed in touch with his roots same as most others at the time.

I was a committed church member responsible for displaying the Bible text on the the projector. Our church service held in a big hotel in the country I live.

One morning the pastor called me to arrange a hotel he will expecting someone from naija. I used my driver's license and booked the hotel. Later that day someone called me to ask how much they settled me, I asked for what?

He told me not to act ignorant that I was the one that booked the hotel they used to wash money for a mugu. GOD saved me the work no cast on my head.

They prioritize money over their primary assignment which is to save souls and prepare people for the after world.
Selfishness, wickedness and partiality are what they practice.
When you have money, you will be made a chairperson and all other titles.

They will preach about money and tithe for 3 Sundays out of 4 Sundays in a month.

Since then I lost interest worshipping in any church. Mumsy still regard me as a pagan till today but I don't care, I believe in personal relationship with God. I must not be in the gathering of over sabi people before I worship God.

Most pastors nowadays are corporate fraudsters.
