To me, when you can't relate things to other aspect of life except from the spiritual aspect.

It can be so frustrating having conversations with people like that sometimes.

Often it's as a result of being an hypocrite.

Even Christ dine with the tax collector.

We're all guilty.

May God continue to transform us.

that the person always don't want to go and drink beer with them, condemns the act of having side chicks and fornication, doesn't join on a table to gossip someone's name

so people like this seems uninteresting to be with

It means they are not worldly enough.

They won't party.

They won't drink.

They won't sleep around.

They won't even use curse words.

People hang funny adjectives on others who have different goals, beliefs and values.

The kind of person who doesn't think but lets their pastor do their thinking for them.

The kind of person who has no personality aside from religion because they believe everything is a sin.Watching TV is a sin, wearing trouser is a sin, celebrating your birthday is a sin, wearing the colour black is a sin and so on.

The kind of person who is complaining about poverty but doesn't work, instead they spend their days and nights praying and "fellowshiping" for breakthrough.

When they eventually get some form of money they give a large chunk of it to a pastor who is already rich and the cycle continues.

When faced with a problem instead of taking steps to fix it they just mope and say "God will provide".

Jesus Christ partied, drank, didn't sleep around ofcourse, but he didn't shy away from using appropriate words we might tag curse words. undecided

The people you speak of, are in a sense, "holier" than even Jesus Christ Himself. undecided

A churchy person is someone who judges you because of your religious beliefs.

It's the latter... 98% most of the time.
SCENE ONE
Mr X: Mr G, if you can give my company this contract, you're getting 20% cut.
Mr G: I'm afraid I can't do that or accept the cut you offered, I believe if the board deem it fit to give your company the contract, you will surely get it.
Mr X: I just want you to put in, good words for my company.
Mr G: I'm definitely recommending the best candidate, don't worry.
*Mr X gets home

Mr X to wife: That man didn't even look, my face.
Wife: Don't sweat, I believe it's yours.
Mr X: I don't even like churchy person like that, refusing a while 20% cut.

SCENE TWO
Bf: Baby, I'm really so hot right now. Let's get down
Gf: Boo, you've forgotten we both agree to do "it" after we get married?
Bf: I know, we both agreed. But what's the difference there sef, if we have it now or later?
Gf: Okay fine, we have it now and we later break up. What does that mean? My virginity gone for a man and I didn't marry.
Bf: See where your thoughts went to, this your churchy behavior is annoying sometime s.

You nailed it

When you are not pragmatic, you base everything on faith and forget the work part.

When everything you do tied to a religious inclination. You are allowed to have your own opinion about things.
Its very obvious that there is no way that we as human can be completely objective, but sometimes you have to be objective.

When what your pastor says, becomes the word of God, and then you begin to grow some God complex yourself, anything you say, you want absolute obedience, when anyone especially those below you disobey, you make sure they are punished, just to prove a point that your view or opinion is the best, even when you see things work out well for them when they disobey, you attribute it to the fact that you prayed for them cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

Do you need more explanation or you are satisfied

You are churchy when you cannot make a decision without informing your Pastor, or when you are quick to castigate or abstain an action because your Pastor talks about it or the scripture say so.

When you strictly adhere to Scriptures... So you refuse to smoke, drink, fornicate, etc.
They will call you, "too churchy".

It is perfect badge for me.

I think its when people are just too religious in their thinking . I know a beautiful woman who almost every time I call her she's in church or going to church . She goes to church almost everyday but she's not a pastor . Nigerians are generally too religious but not really god fearing .

Morality and church are not synonymous. Many bad people are found in the church.

. Because they are the most hypocrite ever. I can never employ someone that is too Religious because they will use their Christian Life to ruin your business. And more so they are most wicked people, they are like Pharisees and saducces.

- Too judgemental
- Values what their pastor tells them over their partner
- Calls their pastor “daddy” or something ridiculous
- refuses to enjoy some of the worldly pleasures God Gave us in the name of “holiness”.
- fasts and prays for things without working
- spends inordinate amount of time at religious houses from one pastor to another
- will place tithe over helping their family or people around them in desperate needs.
P.s. I don’t thite but I feel supporting the work of God is important but even more important is loving our family and supporting them.

. It's a lie. Those that put church for head are the most dubious and wicked people on Earth. They use church as a cover up. They are hypocrite, like Pharisees and saducces. They behave holy than thou.
