Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Nigerians Like To Worship Men Of God? by madamkoko(op): 1:29am On Aug 18, 2008
I am of the strong opinion that Nigeria will move forward and progress, if we can BAN religion.

Because then people will begin to see COMMONALITIES/SIMILARITIES rather than differences.

I want to know why people go to these Mega Churches? What is wrong with the local small church in your neighborhood?
good question

Reasons why I know people go to church in Nigeria: has little to nothing to do with god or Jesus

Find a husband/wife
get contracts: you might rob elbows with a senator/politician/businessman
have a social life


Local churches are small. UNKnown people go there.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Nigerians Like To Worship Men Of God? by madamkoko(op): 1:21am On Aug 18, 2008
@topic, maybe because it's their way to success/out of poverty.
Do you mean that Nigerians worship these men, to get themselves out of poverty?  or mean these so called gods of men brainwash people to get themselves out of poverty?
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Nigerians Like To Worship Men Of God? by madamkoko(op): 1:17am On Aug 18, 2008
Do you know how many people are killed, yes killed for expressing any type of religion? Do you know how many people are jailed because of religion in China? If you are going to use an example, use another country instead of China.
How many people are killed in Nigeria because of religion ? How many people's lives have been destroyed because of "blind faith"

How many people have been made millionaires because of religion ?


there are many stories of people who are beaten or have been stoned to death in Nigeria because they have been termed "witches" or those who have died fasting and praying for god's miracles, or those members who died during deliverance,

Biko, do not bring the likes of China in to this. That place is nothing but propaganda and lies.
propaganda and lies, we all see proof of China's prosperity
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Nigerians Like To Worship Men Of God? by madamkoko(op): 1:11am On Aug 18, 2008
You and I know that CHINA is doing well ECONOMICALLY.

Why not use China as an example. Religion there is a secondary issue and I think that its responsible for thier progress.

There are MORE Commonalities/Similarities rather than the divisive tool of religion.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Nigerians Like To Worship Men Of God? by madamkoko(op): 1:06am On Aug 18, 2008
Look at Communist China: Economy is BOOOMING!!!!


In fact, I think that religion is NOT taught in schools. They recognize religion as a tool of oppression.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Nigerians Like To Worship Men Of God? by madamkoko(op): 1:02am On Aug 18, 2008
Are you saying that you want a list of men Nigerians worship ?
Christianity EtcRe: Why Is It That ? by madamkoko(op): 1:00am On Aug 18, 2008
I'm sure these Pastors know the bible.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Nigerians Like To Worship Men Of God? by madamkoko(op): 12:54am On Aug 18, 2008
Maybe Nigerians will move forward when they stop all these idol worshipping.
Christianity EtcWhy Is It That ? by madamkoko(op): 12:53am On Aug 18, 2008
I've lived in the North (Nigeria) before and sometimes wonder why Muslims and so called "non believers" are RICHER AND WEALTHEIR than most so called believers themselves.

Most of the time,  the rich "believers" are Pastors.
Christianity EtcWhy Do Nigerians Like To Worship Men Of God? by madamkoko(op): 12:51am On Aug 18, 2008
Why do Nigerians like to worship so-called gods of men.


First and foremost, they are mere mortals. Humans like everyone else.


I don't want to mention names, but I thought Jesus is the key.

or maybe its that,

These men are doing a good job brainwashing.

Christianity EtcRe: Religion Is Jargon by madamkoko(op): 12:43am On Aug 18, 2008
They go to church, get bossed around by illiterate ushers, get told how to ive their lives by some dude who calls himself a pastor, they collect their money from them, pray for their problems and sorrows, tell them to go home and expect something positive, and when nothing happens they tell you it was "the will of God".
They threaten them with eternal damnation, spiritual deprivation, poverty, e.t.c.
heheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheehehehehehehehe. grin grin grin grin grin grin

RomanceRe: Would You Date A Girl Who Is A Nerd? by madamkoko: 9:46pm On Aug 17, 2008
There are nerds and there are geeks there's a distinct difference and I think that people often times mix the two up.


Nerds always have interesting conversations. Its never a boring or dull moment.


But I don't like "I too know people: men or women" they often times can be VERY, VERY ANNOYING.
Christianity EtcRe: My Friend Hates God. Don't Know What To Do. Advice by madamkoko: 9:35pm On Aug 17, 2008
i lose nothing believing in God, Absolutely Nothing.
I won't even lie, I believe in God. I believe that God is real. I'm not an atheist.

BUT I do have any denomination. I believe church is nothing but a social institution

I do not give tithes, because I believe that there is no place in the bible that says that tithes HAVE TO BE MONETARY DONATIONS. I would rather give to the poor or to a charity, or volunteer my time to someone I know cannot pay me back.

Not going to church, makes me an outsider. Because I believe Nigerians have this illusion that if you go to church u're are automatically destined for heaven not my case.

I believe in God but not any concocted religious nonsense that turns mere humans into Gods.

I also believe the bible is a historical book written by man to tell a carefully moulded story.

Christianity EtcRe: Pre-Marital Sex Is Not Fornication by madamkoko: 9:08pm On Aug 17, 2008
which taken in its simplest form indicates that only married people can by guilty of fornication
makes sense, therefore we can conclude that premarital sex is not fornication.
Christianity EtcRe: Pre-Marital Sex Is Not Fornication by madamkoko: 8:23pm On Aug 17, 2008
otokx:
according to the little oxford dictionary,

fornicate=extramarital sexual intercourse

premarital sex is not fornication but its still sin
How is this a logical statement?


If fornicate means extramarital ? then how is premarital affairs a sin. On what logical basis are you basing your statement/argument on.

Anyways ehin  people yi, ke ma ton ra hin je.
Christianity EtcReligion Is Jargon by madamkoko(op): 8:21pm On Aug 17, 2008
Religion is the most effective divisive tool created by man.

Religion puts humans in an illusional state

Religion is jargon
