I always doubt whatever they are preaching and heard most of the stories they used to preach but I want to start going again just to pass time on Sundays.

Even when I was a Christian the crowd and the their activities always bored me. Now I have stepped away from it, it amazes me how I could ever endure such mass delusion.

Christianity and its imported desert god are an unfortunate remnant of colonialism. Once you see the scam it of you will prefer to mop the Atlantic instead of wasting your time in the midst of brainwashed noisemakers.
. This thread is specifically for Christians. What are you doing here?

Something is wrong with OP and his likes, every Sunday, they ask this type of useless question.

Is something wrong with all the individuals who have responded also? Is something wrong with the reasons given for stopping church attendance?

"Omnipresent" doesn't have a particular spot to be assumed as "his presence"

TO NAIRALAND ADMIN.
I really need to know why, in an islamic thread one cannot access nor able to contribute unless you swore an aligeance to be a muslim.
But in a Christian thread it‘s not so. Why? Muslims have access to Christian‘s thread without any protocol. Why is it so? I really want to know the reason for the preferencial treatment.

In my immaturity, I once stopped going to church. The temptation still returns from time to time. My reason was/is that church started looking like a scam. They seem to be far more interested in money than what the Bible says.
What did you now do as an alternative means of keeping in touch with God?

Sundays are usually set aside for church, to worship and praise God.

-So many still derive pleasure in going to church despite life's challenges.
-Yet so many have stopped going to church due to one reason or the other.

If you fall in the second category, kindly share why you stopped going to church.
Let's encourage one another in love.

The answers to our questions and the solution to our problems are in the Presence of God- in our personal secret place and the gathering of saints.

Meanwhile, let's prep for service.
Prayers are still being answered.

I have grounded all religious activities over 5 years ago. Religion is soo un just, biased and against logic and very uncivilised.

Religion sanction crimes and spilling of bloods so far it's not of it's followers.
Muslims cheers the death of christians, christians cheers the death of muslims and other religions.

no iota of justice in what they do. They are bunch of evildoers hiding behind evil books enabling them and justifying their evil deeds.

i will not be a part of that.

I read that at 95% Nigeria is next only to Afghanistan at 98% as the MOST PRAYERFUL COUNTRY in the whole world.

It is not a coincidence that both counties are the most corrupt and two of the fastest decaying countries of the world.

Whereas on the other hand, China at 1%, UK at 6% and Switzerland at 6% are ranked as the LEAST PRAYERFUL COUNTRIES in the whole world.

No surprise.

Ironically, my people in Nigeria are praying, fasting, casting and binding and their Pastors are Prophesying for them to get VISAS to go and slave it out in those foreign, less prayerful countries by adding to their LABOUR FORCE and helping to improve the PRODUCTIVITY in those countries.

My people won't have much space to PRAY when they get to Europe. It is all round work else you don't survive.

We were never like this. We were targeted and railroaded into the situation we find ourselves and the people we have become today.

We were deliberately misguided and pulled out of our various peaceful and less congested locations where we are very productive, and brought or perhaps forced out to live the congested city arrangement where we became much less productive and dependent on the finished goods from the lands of the people who railroaded us into the cities.

We need to reverse the sequence that brought us here

The very first step to take control of our lives is to MAN UP TO THE PEOPLE DOING THESE THINGS TO US.

There is an urgent need for a reversal of the trend of Rural-Urban Migration.

We must become INDUSTRIALIZED and the very start point is massive investment in AGRICULTURE.

The various Governments at state levels must work out ways to decentralize their city centers by at least adding value to the rural communities such that our people can return to rejig our society from the very base.

But we are not doing this.

The controllers of our National life are making certain that RELIGION is permanently on the top burner for us and in our consciousness. They are funding these people you see carrying ÒSÙKÁ on their heads and the PASTORPRENEURS to do what they do.

They are making certain through their activities that AS A PEOPLE we are permanently glued to religion and forever listening to the ADEBOYES of this country.

Pastor Adeboye's recent comment on the ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN crises, calling for prayers for Israel, is enough to reveal his hypocrisy, insincerity.and true self.

These people are agents of NEOCOLONIALISM. I don't think anyone should argue this!

Your likes wouid always hate Adeboye, not only because of his recent support for Istrael. Google is your friend....no single Muslim pledged any support for Istrael rather, a few sympathetic Christians were on the Palestinian side . Not because the attack on Israel was right or justifiable but because of many innocent lives that were in danger due to the hamas stupidity. Do you expect pastor adeboye to join Muslims to support Palestine after the latter attacked them and killed over 1000 Istraeli and other nationals?

They said Istrael should leave Gaza and they did so in 2005. They now separated their land from Palestine. What else did hamas want? Istrael can't be a foreigner in their own country.

Your Holiness, from the comfort of your chair, you declared them unbelievers. You already judged them before taking deep thoughts for their various reasons.

I used to be a staunch believer before I started seeing though their BS....just like your comment.

Stress.

I work Mondays to Saturdays, and it is demanding as OMG. Sunday is the only day to rest. It's been almost six months now. But, I am learning to ease up, not simply to resume Sunday gathering, but for my health. If I die now, the company will replace me in weeks, while my wife and child will be left in a mess.

My salvation is intact, so I cannot be armtwisted into a "regular Church goer".

Christ is in my heart and home. That is all that matters. As for tithe and offering, my needy neighbors are qualified to receive it, whatever their religious beliefs are.

Its okay to talk about it, rather than hiding it.

Why pretend, and its reality and people should be wiser.


SAMBARRY:
As much as I don't like attacking or criticizing churches,I have a feeling that that is the purpose of this thread because if not so why this thread of all days, sunday.meanwhile as irritating as Muslims can be with their violent and unruly tendencies,you Will never see them badmouthing where they go to slam their head.even they themselves know that they are toxic to each other but you will never see them opening their yansh for the world to see.yes they're overbearing but they have unity of purpose and know how to cover each others bs.

Christians it's enough stop running down churches and pastors.yes we have bad eggs amongst pastors making Christianity seem like a joke but dragging them every Sunday will change nothing.going to church is a personal decision.if you want to go,go,if you don't want to go you can rest at home but it's not necessary to state why you chose not to go to church because you owe no one any explanation.christianity is an individual race not a collective journey

Because of the Terrorist character the Bible portrayed as God. However the Grand architect of the Universe is very much in existence and watches us all, I was atheist but I know better. I know religion is created by the cults to control the global morons, however GAOU exists just accept this even as an atheist, u can't be a Free Mason without belief in the Grand architect
