God is nature. If you believe in humanity u believe in God, if you serve humanity you serve God. Bible can never be the word of God, you can read some part to nurture your mind, Proverbs, ecc., some part are poetic eg Lamentations, palms, song of Solomon etc. some part teaches good morals, some part are evil and atrocious in the of name God, some are childish stories. The very time I stopped carrying Bible was the time I read numbers cheaper 31. Most Christian are evil and hypocrite, no love. 3 Likes |

parags:I lost interest going to church from childhood, at my age then I noticed the preferential treatment our pastor was giving some members because they're loaded. Even tribalism takes place in church. Some members from the pastor's tribe think they're superior to others. My mum did lots of stuffs like donations, dropping her cars for the church to use during crusades and others. At a point things went south and she wasn't meeting up as usual and the pastor and his wife focused their attention on other members. They stopped coming to our house like before, since then I lost interest going to any church. I was regarded as a pagan in my family because whenever they talk about church I don't listen to anybody. I had issues with my mum then because every sunday morning we must battle before I go to church, and I am always the first to get home without even waiting for church to close. I am living alone now so I got freedom to worship God in my own way, I believe in personal relationship with God. The only time I go is during family thanksgivings because of my mum. It gives her joy/pride whenever her children are around her for thanksgivings/birthday celebration. 3 Likes 1 Share |

How i see God has changed, and what I'm looking for, I can't find it in the Church. And I tend to feel more like a loner in the congregation because of that. Though I'm more of a humanist now I still go because of my folks. |

Because churches are now operated like a club or disco. Infact I went to one church and Sunday program turn to comedian performance. There is one pastor that was praying about Man U winning Chelsea on a church program. The last one.... There's one that was preaching and too much sxx talk in his preaching. 1 Like 1 Share |

BigBashiru: Awww, I can imagine. Mine was international stuff. I had applied for a role to be a Vice President for a student body representing Nigeria, I did interview with the owners of the brand and I was appointed Vice President. I was barely 18/19 or so. So my church somewhat found out and said I was doing "worldy" stuff and told me to resign as Vice President. That Christians should be "only heavenly bound and focused". Mumu me then resigned oh. The partners were dumbfounded and told me to reconsider my stance but I couldn't. I still regret doing that because that association was a leveller for me and opened opportunities for students to go abroad and represent Nigeria in competitions. They wanted to try another method two years ago and when I didn't succumb, the Pastor said he'd stop praying for me and that I've yielded to the devil. You go fear emotional blackmail. Never again sha. I'm older and wiser. And yeahhhhh about the fornication part. My church will announce the names of people who had sex and tell them to stand up and leave the church. Trust hypocritical Christians in church that day giving them bad eye. I really found it cringey. Yep. I do church from a distance bruh. I'd serve God from the comfort of my bed. 5 Likes |

Zchi1052: What made me stop going to church? Self discovery/enlightenment There was one calender we saw in our Sunday school showing a white Jesus stabbing a black human with a tail and face of a goat or something. I grew up with that mentality that anything black means evil. But what really made me stop going to church was similarites of their double standards with the government. Trust me, if the church(man made or not) had one standard, I wouldn't mind paying plenty cash as tithe. Same thing plays out in my daily activities. If I discover I belong to an association of double standards, I won't waste time withdrawing my membership. |

[quote author=safarifarms post=128515275][/quote] Here we go again (where is that face-palm emoji?). Bringing up unrelated and irrelevant topics on subjects you know absolute nothing about. The horseshoe crab had not evolved over hundreds of millions of years because it did not need to. It lived in the same habitat eating the same food, with the same threats. Environment, food, threats, are the main driving force of evolution. Just like phones, Nokia 3310 is still available today even though we have 5 G phones. |

Re: Why Did You Reduce Or Stop Going To Church? by SoNature(m): 12:11pm On Feb 18 |
AntiChristian:Ordinarily, I shouldn't be responding to this moniker but I have to set the records straight. Our Lord Jesus Christ didn't go to church regularly because He is God Himself. However, He personally went to church some times to observe what worshippers would often do there. That was when He praised a widow who gave her mite and destroyed the businesses of traders transacting in church. |
