In fairness to that god, there is no single evidence of him promising to protect anyone. Those tales are only found in a book written by men. Just like the physics, chemistry, biology, strength of materials, metallurgy, fluid materials, accounting principles and so many other books. I think we should be fair to him.

A fool says in his heart, there is no God.

I find it appalling building any religious house with state/tax payer money, be it mosque or church.

Religious house don't generate money to government pocket

weblord1900:
Waste of money that is suppose to be used to cure the sicks and feed the orphans.

Jesus answered this before you even thought to ask

John 16
1These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.

2They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

3And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

4But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

So this monumental edifice was built to glorify a god that cannot save his followers when they were being killed on Christmas Eve... After all the empty promises he made to them that he will protect them if they forsake their ancestral ways of worship and follow the one he instructed....


Truth be told that God really like horror movies

MavisEleanor:
Fun Fact

The worship centre is a potential tourist attraction that will generate revenue for the state and further improve the state's visibility internationally.

Think of the project like the Basilica di Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, the Hagia Sophia or Masjid al-Haram.

He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

16. Psalm 5:11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

there are still many more similar verses in the Christian Bible

So that shoddy work done by the Reigners Bible church in Uyo that collapsed and killed 160 worshippers was foretold by those verses too?

Why don't you counter his rather than employ as hominems? He never insulted you

OKUCHI11:
it's just the other way round dear... I'm just surprised that you people still serve a shy Sky-daddy who cannot protect his children from ordinary herdsmen...and yet he claims to be all powerful

Ever8090:
you that ran into the matter, have you forgotten that I have taken you on the said stupid matter and all you could ever do is write grammar upon grammar without a single sense in it?.

How exactly can I start countering a senseless reasoning, how can I start educating someone who believes that and unintelligent process created an intelligent process .

How can I argue with someone who believes that, something without hearing ability created him with the ability to hear?

How can I argue with someone who fails to know that he himself is the evidence he seeks ?

The conclusion of the whole matter is that you are foolish just as the Bible said more than 2000 years ago except you give me the name of that intelligent being who created you with the intelligent ability to bear a name...

Iif you don't have the name of such an intelligent being then if you like write all the grammar you know in this world, i will not read answer you anymore because atheism has gone past the stage you have dwell on all your life without progress......you should be knowing yourself by now and not asking petty questions that even a 3 year old atheist has grown past...

Felix6:

You lack comprehension ability.
Were you there when God said and wrote those chapters and verses?
If ohms law was stated somewhere in the book called bible, we might as well believed it was God speaking.
Those things are man made beliefs.

mrrandomguy:
Architecturally, this is a breath of fresh air from the usual boring cuboid or rectangular shaped buildings our lazy architects are good at designing.

But using taxpayer's money to build a "Christian centre", when their are many church buildings already is a total waste of money and a sign of sick leadership.

God no longer reside in buildings. Our body is now the temple of God that we must keep holy always. Flee from sin!

The only thing Nigeria needs urgently right now is a complete decentralization of our security forces to create state and local govt police forces. Including the military to give priority to each ethnic group in protecting lives and properties in every zones and regions. So only soldiers of Yoruba extraction should be sent to South West, same with South East, Middle Belt and others.
