Religion / Pastor Quit Christianity After 40 Years Of Being A Devout Follower by patogist: 3:26pm On May 01, 2019
A once Faithful Christians took to twitter to explain his reasons for leaving the faith as he was unable to find the brotherly love he has always hoped for. He blamed his marriage shame on the church and his failures in life

Read full details..

I’m not a Christian anymore:

After 40 years of being a devout follower, 20 of those being an evangelical pastor, I am walking away from faith. Even though this has been a massive bomb drop in my life, it has been decades in the making when I was in 8th grade and I was reading greek mythology, it dawned on me how much of the supernatural interactions between the deity of the bible and mankind sounded like ancient mythology.

That seed of doubt never went away.I was raised in a hyper-fundamentalist family, and it felt good to be in a system that promised all the answer and solutions to life. The problem is, the system didn’t work. The promises were empty. The answers were lies.

As an adult my marriage was a sham and a constant source of pain for me. I did everything I was supposed to – marriage workshops, counseling, bible reading together, date nights every week, marriage books – but my marriage never became what I was promised it would be.

I was fully devoted to studying the scriptures. I think I missed maybe 12 Sundays in 40 years. I had completely memorized 18 books of the bible and was reading through the bible for the 24th time when I walked away.

I devoured all the “christian apologetics” books that came out, and none of them answered my questions regarding the nature of god and the problems I found within the Scriptures. I found these books to be trite, dismissive, and full of pseudo science and evidence.

The more I read and studied the scriptures the more questions I had. Literally from the first chapter to the last, so many problems. And the more I learned about how the scriptures were canonized, the less I could believe in the “inerrancy” model that I had to espouse.

In 40 years I never witnessed a single event that was supernatural. Not one. Time and again I watched people die of cancer. I did funerals for 47 people from the age of 4 to 96. I prayed in faith with hundreds of people for healing to no avail. god didn’t answer prayers.

My devoutly christian parents were abusive, my marriage was a sham, prayer was never answered, miracles were never performed. People died, children rebelled, marriages failed, addictions occurred – all at the same rate as non believers. The system just doesn’t work.

I pastored mega churches & tiny churches. I did college ministry, camp ministry, youth ministry, music ministry, preaching ministry, church planting – everything in the church except work in the nursery. And what I saw was people desperate for the system to work for them.

I traveled on speaking teams, preached to thousands of teenagers at a time, wrote blogs, was published, formed curriculum, taught workshops, was an up-and-comer reforming my denomination. The whole time hoping at some point it would click, and become true for me.

An inescapable reality that I came to was that the people who benefited the most from organized religion were the fringe attenders who didn’t take it too seriously. The people who were devout were the most miserable, but just kept trying harder.

All the while, the experience I had within the church was that a lot (granted, not all) people use the church for power and influence. Many involved people in churches use it as their small kingdom for personal control and ego.

And the entire system is rife with abuse. And not just from the top down, sure there are abusive church leaders, but church leaders are abused by their congregants as well. Church people are just shitty to each other.

I spent my entire life serving, loving, and trying to help people in my congregations. And the lies, betrayal, and slander I have received at the hands of church people left wounds that may never heal.

This massive cognitive dissonance – my beliefs not matching with reality – created a separation between my head and my heart. I was gaslighting myself to stay in the faith.

Eventually I could not maintain the facade anymore, I started to have mental and emotional breaks. My internal stress started to show in physical symptoms. Being a pastor – a professional Christian – was killing me.

During this time I also found something amazing: I found a handful of people who were more Christian than any Christian I had ever met – and they weren’t Christian. I found love in places where love wasn’t supposed to exist. I found acceptance among people who were godless.

I learned that love is real. That acceptance is possible. That life is vibrant and full. But the church burdens people with fear, shame, and guilt, all for the purpose of maintaining control. I now see the church as a system perfectly curated to control people and culture.

I was a part of a system that enslaves people, and I was both a slave and a slave driver. We called chains freedom, and misery happiness. We had impossible standards that we could not meet so we turned the attention on others so the spotlight wasn’t on our own inadequacies.

Eventually I pulled the lever and dropped the bomb. Career, marriage, family, social standing, network, reputation, all gone in an instant. And honestly I didn’t intend to fully walk away, but the way the church turned on me forced me to leave permanently.

For those of you who want to yell at me, that’s fine. I know that many will call me an apostate, say I was never really saved, that I was a wolf in sheeps clothing, and that a hotter hell awaits me. And to you I say I love you. My heart is tender toward you.

To those who have been in my congregations or under my teaching/preaching I sincerely apologize. I thought I was right. I thought I was doing the right thing. I thought I could fake it until I made it. I was wrong. I’m sorry. I love you.

I have lost everything. I gave literally everything to serving Jesus. And walking away has cost me everything. All I can hope for is that the second half of my life can be full of love and genuine human relationships. I was wrong. I’m not faking anymore.

I will add that my walking away was very messy and I know I have hurt a lot of people. To them I am genuinely sorry and I regret my actions that hurt you

Crime / Create More Jobs, Internet Fraud Will Reduce – Btdhub Co-founder, Ogbenidipo by patogist: 8:01pm On Apr 23, 2019
Lecturer in strategy, career and personal development coach and one of the co-founder of BTDHub populary known by his Twitter handle OgbeniDipo has gotten himself trending online after taking to his Twitter account to pass an information to young folks about indulging in an Internet fraud populary known as Yahoo Yahoo. He started that the government has to create more jobs so that Internet fraud would reduce. He also gave account on how Internet fraud started back in the 80s after the federal government abandoned Nigerian that were sent aboard to study

He said,

We need to create more opportunities for young people and perhaps some of them will stay away from Yahoo Yahoo. There are no jobs, no hope for tomorrow and many people laugh at folks like us who study and work really hard. I am not justifying fraud. Just saying fix the country.

He continued,

Things are so bad that 20/23 year olds are doing Ogun owo just because they want to buy Benz, lead a riotous life and flex the most beautiful girls. Things are really bad, but we can fix it.

Young people, especially in South West Nigeria, please be patient and work hard, you will make it. Don’t let anyone oppress you with unexplained wealth. Work hard and smart. Your time is coming.

Yahoo Yahoo reportedly started in the 80s when the Nigerian Government sent some students abroad and left them hanging without paying their fees/bill. Of course greed is a major issue, we still cannot absolve the govt of blame. They need to create jobs & an enabling environment.

Our Politicians earn so much money while some Professors retire wretched. A lot of folks who work really hard end up poor. Best students get N50, 000 while Miss Nigeria gets millions, plus a car. I understand Yahoo Yahoo folks are greedy and all, but let’s fix our country too.
