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.
This scenarios are wrong.

First scenario, Mr G never said no to 20%, he only said the best candidate will be given, if Mr x who offered 20% eventually gets the contract, Mr G will demand his 20%, its just business.

Second scenario is just incorrect representation, 99% of those you see in church have had sex multiple times, the fact that she want you to wait now just means, she wants to raise the importance attributed to her cunt, knowing fully, if she allows the guy, he will lose interest after discovering the ocean presented to him.

Most ladies with strong moral values hardly take church stuff seriously, you see those that act like they want to give birth to second Jesus, its only after you have married them you will know how unfortunate you are. They are the harlots and olosho thatstarted the business from as early as 12 or 14, now they are 37, 38 and discover no more customers, they have moved from one joint to the other over the years that everyone now knows them, now they decide and give their life to Christ, thankfully, Christ is not interested in their over used body (And I mean THANKFULLY huh huh huh), but you are! you see them very fervent, holding on to Church pillar and commanding fire, God will definitely save their soul, but the over used body belongs to one SIMP that feels God have given him the bone of his bone cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy, not knowing he just picked a prayer project.

So next time use appropriate scenarios, this is not it.

The too Churchy ones are the ones who believe no other doctrines is right or can be right except the ones propagated or promoted by their churches, the ones who are not receptive of other people who belong to other religion sects or who practice Christianity in a way/ways different from theirs.

The too Churchy ones are the ones that move from house to house, room to room, knocking at strangers door to preach "Jesus loves you", affirms the doctrines of second coming or tell people who they know don't give a hoot about anything religion that they will end up at the abyss of hellfire, they are the ones who would move from buses to buses, junctions to junctions to insult other passengers choice of believe and ways of life.

The churchy ones are overzealously religious.

My neighbor is a Christian and I will choose her even above my Muslim neighbor. My best friends in school are Christians and I feel relaxed and safe around them than any other person. From these people, I have never heard you are going to hell fire unless you believe in what I believe in. and these people are righteously Christians.

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".
This is just it!

I just thank God for opening my eyes to see these wrong things and helping me break free from the fear imposed on "Christians" for not being overzealously spiritual or religious as the case may be.

Do they mean they hate people with high morals

The bolded is a straw man's argument. Too churchy means too churchy, meaning too religious. It has nothing to do with high morals as a very religious person can be one of very poor morals and vice versa.

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

You don explain am finish. I have someone who spends about #1000 on transport to church and still pays as much as #1000 as offering yet his family find it hard to feed. He is always fast to attribute all things to witchcraft, spiritual realm , and religion.

One day while complaining of spiritual attacks that prevent him from being rich all these years, I shouted at him in anger... "What exactly is your problem! You are too churchy for my liking. You keep complaining that witches are preventing you from being rich. You keep going to church to ask for God's blessing yet failed to realize that God has already blessed you instead it is you who keep returning the blessings to God and then return to ask- God when? Do you know how much you spend yearly to go to church? You spend nothing less than 150k on transport alone when there are tens of churches around your area and we are yet to count your tithe, offering etc. If you save this money for the past 5 years you should have atleast a million by now. There will bo no food in the house yet you will be calling to ask for money to go to church."... What transpire would be too lenghty for me to type out.
magicminister:
- 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.

Has various meanings bt yes that’s seems to be a definition. High morals especially when it’s not seen as necessary.

When someone is too boring and uses religiosity as substitute for a personality. They tend to be bigots too and can't think outside their dogmas. They also lack reason because they ascribe ordinary or explainable events to spiritual forces.

it means u go to church on Sunday and stay for the whole services and after the last you stay back for one church meeting or another, Monday u go for prayer meeting, Tuesday bible study, Wednesday all mid week services, Thursday church visitation, Friday cell meeting, Saturday one church rehearsal. And the circle continues.

it has nothing to do with high morals.

Define "high morals". undecided
Morality and Nigerian church (specifically pentecostal churches) DO NOT belong in the same sentence. When a NIgerian tells you "i am a christian"..usually he/she is about to lie or dupe you.
Re: What Do People Mean When They Say Somebody Is Too Churchy For Their Liking? by daneni1(m): 7:36pm On Sep 28, 2021
To me, being churchy is not having a believe system or principle you live by or abide to. Its just when I have any conversation with you or anyone and almost all convo is related to the bible or an avenue to preach your religion to me. Such piss me off.

No, Churchy people want to pray everything into existence.

Back in school, they pray and fast but will not study expecting manna to fall from heaven

2. They don't apply common knowledge where applicable. E.g fasting when you know you have health challenges like ulcer

Same as Egalitarianistic-Equalism ideologues who deny evolutionary realities of gender differences and believe everything is a social construct, religion of Progressivism and social justice warriors cultists, always shaming and demonizing oppositions same way the ancient church had blasphemers ostracized, sjws and Feminists have people who oppose their beliefs cancelled and ostracized

Belief that alcohol is sin has nothing to do what Christianity but Churchianism. Jesus Christ drank alcohol and he did so even around the sinners of His time. undecided

Jesus Christ dined with tax collectors means what? undecided
Even the Pharisees pointed at Christ

While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples.

When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Matthew 9:10‭-‬13 NIV
Often we need to come down. Be spiritually poor, make friends with those we perceived as sinners. Then we can introduce Christ to them.

I believe that's part of lifestyle evangelism.

People who are sharply moralistic and don’t seem to have lived in the concrete, real world.

When you’re a young person wanting to relate your experiences about sex. and drugs the last thing you want is someone who’s only capable of quoting verse-and-scripture. Nor does any Nigerian girl want to a Bleep with an overly consecrated Deeper Life boy whose idea of swag. is sandals and dungarees.
