I Am Irritated By "Over Religiosity Of Nigerians" by vladimiros: 8:56pm On Jul 22, 2012
on sunday after church, my church offers 5 pm house prayers, on the way back from church my dad wants to listen to christian music, on wednesdays and friday, everybody wants to go to church service.

I don't want to sound like an atheist but it is "burdening" MASSIVELY, I know I have my opinions, but do you have to, anytime I confront my parents on this they call me "atheist wannabee". and it not only them many Nigerians do it.

Is it a sin to believe in God, meditate, go to church on sunday, if you love your church so much pay 20% tithe..?

This Over religious habit has taken us as a nation nowhere. nowhere, we are fvcking corrupt for people who claim to be close to God, and some of this activities start from the Church, I don't know any church that has not made it a business and are constantsly using real life business tricks like "Social proof" to attract more "customers".

why?, do you have to do all that

it so bad that you can't talk about ur problem, without someone link it to God

You are asking pertinent questions and it won't be long before you will discover that religion is a waste of time and the whole god concept especially as practiced in Nigeria is a fraud. People will hate you for questioning the status quo(religion) but in order to live your life in a way that makes you not to look like a hypocrite, you have to fvcking dump religion and the entire god concept.

Buzugee you can see how intolerant you are. Do you have to call me an i-diot in order to make your point known? That is the problem with religion. Instead of making your point logical, you go about insulting people that query your believes simply because you have no logical proof to back all what you believe.
Also why threaten the OP with hell fire? Is there no better proof you can give besides the lame one you just provided. Worst of all is that you are one of the most racist religionist just like the KKK and believe there is a heaven waiting for you. SMH for you.

LOL all i am doing is returning the favor. scripture says it is a righteous thing to recompense those that trouble you. i believe you troubled me yesterday. and i prove all my points with scripture. i dont come out of my own vain opinions. the lord is racist

this 10000 degrees heat is not hell. hell is not real. there is no such thing as a place called hell. however there will be destruction by fire when the lord returns. not forever fire. but fire nonetheless for those who arent right. fire is a purifying agent. it purifies.

dude, when that day comes, its every man for self. you will have no remembrance of worldly affiliations. but nevertheless hell is not real. hell is a condition on earth. however when christ returns those who are not right will be roasted in fire

The christian ways is the greatest recruiter/converter of the brethrens to atheism. Look at the OP, he is already tired of the "christian" ways he was brought up in which was the reason for having opened this thread. Christianity, especially the one practiced in Nigeria, is driving people to atheism and fast. The religion is becoming more and more obtrusive in their lives with the 6-7 days a week worship as well as the massive financial burden it is putting on them by demanding tithing each and every time they attend all these "extra-sunday" worship days. To the OP (and rightly so), the religion he is in is fast becoming a nuisance in his life. Everybody needs some privacy sometimes. Dedicating a day to service per week is more than enough.

what they are practicing in nigeria is not christianity. get it right. what they are practicing is idolatry. they worship the created ( pastor chris tb joshua oledepo ) more than the creator.
Re: I Am Irritated By "Over Religiosity Of Nigerians" by Jenwitemi(m): 10:00am On Jul 23, 2012
Rubbish, burugee. There is no officially proper way of practicing that religion. It has always been like that since the 1st century. And moreover, worshiping the "creator", as you put it, is also idolatory. Afterall, you have to worship that creator in a place of worship, right?

first off it is not a religion. it is a lifestyle. religion is man made invention

secondly, you worship the lord by loving your fellow man. that doesnt sound like idolatry to me. if i feed a beggar or if i help a widow fetch water from the well, or if i help an old man go get his medicine because he is wheelchair bound etc etc. these are how the lord wants you to worship him. any other extra stuff like gathering together in your best sunday attire and whatnot ? that is all man made. see if you read the bible properly you would know all these things. and i aint talking about only the new testament neither. start from Job and work your way through the major prophets like isaiah, jeremiah, ezekiel, daniel, then on down to joel, hosea, malachi, nahum, habbakuk, micah etc etc and then all the new testament. the old testament, especially the book of jeremiah is anti-pastors
Re: I Am Irritated By "Over Religiosity Of Nigerians" by Jenwitemi(m): 10:15am On Jul 23, 2012
And lifestyles aren't manmade, buzugee? Any religion can claim itself to be a lifestyle, if you must know. Any group, sect, cult... Apple Mac usage is considered a lifestyle by mac users. It changes little in the end. Pap water na still pap.

Bruh, the bible is not a religion. it is a book of history and prophesys and a manual of instruction in how to live. if you buy a fridge it comes with a manual of instruction. same with a tv and a computer. so why do you think the creator of man will not give us a manual of instruction in how to eat, live, dress etc ? all those are in the bible. how to eat, dress, live, treat each other and the repercussion of not treating each other well. thats all the bible is. a manual of instruction. out of this manual of instruction, when the romans took control of the world they used these scrolls to form religions so as to divide and conquer people. the romans formed the religion christianity and roman catholicism and islam. gerrit ? so religion as a whole whether it is christianity or islam or buddhism etc are all man made rubbish.
