I just decided to respond to you just to open your eyes incase you are unaware but in the other hand, you so rude and jerk. It is not good for you and for people you would continue having encounter with.
I insist you see a psychotherapist.

Am a Christian by birth but I don go to church.....



Now before you start by saying growing up changed me I've always been like that since my young age but my dad would beat the hell outa me and drag me to church if need be. Then I started asking him questions after Sunday service. Questions like my Sunday school teacher told me God created everything but daddy who created God? My day was actually surprised he managed to spew out few quotes from the bible and butressed it with long boring talks about how we can question the existence of God as humans but instead i asked another question why can't we do that? And he said that is just the way it is, one is not meant to understand everything..I kept quiet and didn't ask any more questions as my dad he could read from my facial expression that I was not satisfied with his answers.

Now growing up I started looking more Into the inception of Christianity the neophytes and the missionaries then I made a shocking discovery that contrary to the all rosy stories of kind hearted preachers and oyinbo nice Christians thatbive been told Christianity was actually used as a facade to enslave Africans right from the beginning, the colonial masters would send missionaries into then unexplored part of Africa to investigate, soy and bring back reports of the ways of the people, what they lack and what in their opinion can be used as " a banana for the monkeys " , they went back with their reports and the anvil of their military force released on Africans with lots of able bodied young men taken as slave....how many of you guys know that the word "Lynch" came from a white Christian slave master Mr lynch who according to history was the most vicious slave master in west Indies and a renowned Christian, history have it that he never had a case of slaves turning against him or disobeying him even if he give them order order obtake their own live he had absolute controll not because he was a good man but because of his diabokicayand inhumane method of dealing with any slave that shows a slightest tendency of disobedience. When he was asked how he maintains order and totall controll of his slave he simply replied with a quote "take the meanest, most restless nigger strip him of his clothes in front of the remaining male niggers, female niggers and nigger infants. Tar and feather him. Tie each leg to a horse facing an opposite direction, set him on fire and beat both horses untill they tear him apart in front of the male, female and nigger infants. Bullwhip and beat the remaining nigger males within an inch of their life. Do not kill them but put the fear of GOD in them, for they can be useful for future breeding.".... That's just but a little sip from the appalling soup of Christianity.....

Now to the present century, look around you all the so called churches are amasssing wealth without controll, nobody to ask them what the money is being g used for and how judiciously is it being managed and people still give 10%of their income every month... You see pastors owning private jets yet majority of his church member cannot afford to buy 3000 shoes, people contribute money to build school that at the end of the day 90% of the church member can't afford to send the cheque ldren to such school, you see pastors harrasing people just because he claim s to be annointed and the psychologically imprisoned victim can't do nothing because the so called pastor is famous and annointed, you see pastors moving around with body guards and even while preaching bodyguards are there right in front of the alter and you want me to be going to such gathering of hypocrisy? F**k NO!! I'd rather be at home eat sleep and surf the internet.

I don't believe one religion is superior over another, what give you the impression That the Ogun, oya, obtala, sango, amadioha and the rest that our fore fathers were worshiping was evil? Just because somebody said so? If that is the case why did the justified God allowed them to believe in it in the first place?, why is the devil black, why is Jesus white? Why can't Jesus be a black man? In fact historical evidence have it that Jesus was black.

Come to think of it...if Christianity was indeed the only true religion then other believers like islam, Mayans, bhudists, IFA worshipers just to mention but a microscopic few of other numerous folks with different religious disposition are all doomed to hell. Then one stands to reason that the Christian God is not the most merciful or benevolent as their preachings claim it to be.......UNTILL I CAN FIND ANY RELIGION THAT CAN ANSWER ALL MY QUESTIONS I REMAIN RELIGIONLESS.


in conclusion I believe religion has overstayed its usefulness as a means if checking people's excesses, it now do more harm than good.

Am a mad man. Are you ok now with your tiny brain.
When i said 'go see a psychotherapist' i didnt meant that u are mad, rather its cos u needed help to do away with anger so as to love thyself.
I talked abt u having character disorder, no insult intended, this is a psychological problem where its victims see the world as the cause of their problem in your case religion (Roman catholic) thats y i recommend psychotherapy to get rid of such belief, I undestand your concern towards sexual abuses in the church but you condeming religion instead of the act is uncalled for, man is his fellow's worst enemmy not GOD, not even religion.
remember u av tagged me rude, jerk and tiny brain; these words are accompanied with anger and or hate, how can u hate me your fellow man and convince me that you love thyself?

I deserve my right to air my view on a post. You seems to know much about me by telling me to go for check up for psychological deformity. Your reasons for assuming psychopathic impulses on me is because i didn't believe in Roman god and that i didn't believe in what you believe. I never lay abusive words on you but you started it all.

You are not suppose to use such words on me. Are you the only religious person or a Catholic in this forum. Why must you take it personal.

Am not those kids that you do use such words on. Is not good. Learn how to tolerate some certain things.

1) #5,000 no reach for offering in my church, The time spent on offering, fund raising and tithes collection is about 70 - 80% of the entire service duration.


2) They still make reference to old testament at this internet age when everything is entirely different. Now there's cellphones, Pastor reads verse from iPad, females flaunts clevages, artficial hair, wears mini skirt and high hills.

Yet they still quote verses from the old testament were people trekked from Egypt to Isreal but the Bishop flies Private Jet from Ota to Abuja. Smh!


So much emphasis on offering. Damn!!

angry
You need a change of church! Simple!!

You mentioned Otta. Pleaseeee, say what you know. Not things you have no idea about. The Bishop in Otta spends 80% of service duration collecting tithes, offerings, fund raisinghuh?

Re: 7 Reasons Why People Dont Go To Church by bare1(m): 3:34pm On Aug 16, 2015
If you start to look at people in church before you worship God, then that's a big issue. Remember when the time comes, you're gonna stand on your own. Bashing others doesn't make you any more special, instead it keeps you from seeking wisdom. The only thing you need to understand and serve God. Seek self-development and a renewing of the mind.
Happy Sunday!

XavierBlue:
Back in the early 1990's when Christianity was dominating others forms of religion, a lot of people flock to church. But those numbers seems to reduce over the years. The reasons are put below, though some are assertions.

1. CHURCH ARE FULL OF HYPOCRITE.

No need to debate on this fact as its all clear and decipherable. Perhaps, even in-eradicable. We all say one thing and do the other, we all criticize people and still turn around to indulge in the same acts we were vehemently against. The church is full of this set of people, thus making people lack the desire to go to church. Yes.. I am an hypocrite, but with all due respect, you are also an hypocrite.

2. THE CHURCH IS BORING.

You could chose to debate on this. Since when was the church meant to be entertaining?. Well! The church has witness a dramaticall change over the years, and to some people, this assertion is true.

3. THE CHURCH IS EXCLUSIVE.

The church has an exclusive message, which is for everyone. The thing is, every one knows the message, "jesus brings salvation" etc. So why bothering going to church to hear a repetition of it?. This is also one of the reason why people stay back from church, to them, they know the message the bible and church is relaying.

4. THERE DON'T HAVE TIME.

This is undoubtedly any major point. Simple, they don't have the time or are two busy. People who are on work shift during the weekend also fall into this category. This is priority issue, but a valid reason nonetheless.

5. THEY DON'T HAVE CLOTHES.

Though this shouldn't be an excuse for Christians to stay back from church as they worship the Lord and not men, it is a reason why some people stay back from church.
I know of a church that laughs sadornically at members that repeat clothes and attire. The act alone is appaling. Instead of being laughed at, some people choose to stay at home and avert such mortification.

6. LIFE IS BETTER WITHOUT RELIGION.

This is an assertion but With that perspective, people tend to neglect church since its the "pillar" of religion. Going by the norms and commandments of the church by being a Christian are hectic for others. For me, i don't care much about religion but a better relationship with God. Some people that neglect church also hold to this assertion.

7.THE CHURCH WANT YOUR MONEY.

This is undoubtedly another congent reason. If you go to a church that talks more about offering and ransom than sermon, you'd found this a valid point. Maybe the church is faced with financial difficulties.
I think The Leaders should do more about praying and trusting, for God will provide.
However, am ain't advocating that members shouldnt give to the church but It appalling for leaders to "CHALLENGE" members into giving, it should be a thing of the mind.

If you have a different perception of the amazing nature of the God who created you, you should find ways to reorganize your priorities around such a wonderful God.

Re: 7 Reasons Why People Dont Go To Church by nonyedoris: 4:39pm On Aug 16, 2015
Churches spend more time On ofering and fund raising than preaching for salvation, and offering is don according to seat by seat so if u don't have money for offering u stay back to your house cos it will be a shame that u will be the only person left on your seat roll during offering time.

Behold John 5,30 Yet another Sunday of sermons that don't empower humanbeigns spiritually by story telling pastors&prophets for spiritualy blind bornagain followers and church goers?bornagains and church goers enjoy it and continue to shout pastor ride on and still remain in evil family&occult wickedness and bondages and can't sleep in the night and witches and wizards feast on them without mercy and pastors and prophets and apostles continue to use bornagains and church goers to make merchandise of their bellies without giving them empowerment and liberation and most importantly give followers PEACE which Jesuschrist promised to give to those who come to him?Again see John 5,30 Jeremiah 5.21,22 Jeremiah 12 10 you must help yourself and Seek for unbeleivable power and recieve it, which is LIGHT,MANTLE and THE POWER THAT BE and this is available only if you believe there is >many just claim bornagain without spiritual eyes and unbelievable power and they hate change and new things of real JESUSCHRIST even when they read that God will do a new Thing but they still question the same God why he is doing a new Thing? What a disaster humanbeings of the world.BEHOLD kingdom of God ofJesuschrist is not for everyone,neither is heaven for everyone, devil has his own children always and devils children hate change, we have spoken again and those who have ear let them hear and who can battle with God of justice?remember this is authority and truth&revelation and power that is unbelievable to humanbeigns so it's not compulsery that you must embrace and believe us but only time will tell who is telling the truth or not as conventional and in vogue #NEVER, this is accept the truth or perish we dont beg human beigns to accept our truth and revelation Jesuschrist did not beg human beigns to be bornagain he said go and sin no more and come to me all ye that are tired of carrying heavy evil loads, so it means you must meet a condition before you come to him Jesuschrist and not as they are begging you to come and be bornagain, what nonsense that some one should be begged to worship his creator or send bus to carry you to come and worship he that created you and created heaven and earth? What a disaster humanbeings?you must rise and be wise if you only you reason and think well>this is the time to help yourself there is no more time … https:///90v6hjW8xs
