Amen to that! grin
Religious fanatics caused by poverty and joblessness!

Who sleeps in CHURCH in any part of a PRODUCTIVE and CIVILIZED WORLD? undecided
Only in SHYTE-HOLES African countries like Nigeria. cheesy

I have worked 6 out of 7 days the whole month of August. Not by my power of course.

The only thing any “God” can give me is STRENGTH! Not LAZINESS to sleep in a church!

What kind of “GOD” supports laziness? grin

prosperity is what takes people to church.

Rich people don't go to church.

Rich nations don't go to church.
That is how you ignoramuses go strutting about in your ignorance like peacocks..America which is the world power and the country you all love to mimic has one of the highest population of church goers..they also have the biggest churches too..their president is an ardent Christian and a church goer..but you seat in enclave in Nigeria forming 'enlightenment'..

Actually, the most religious parts of America (that would include Southern California, Texas, and Florida) are some of the most prosperous parts of the country. And I dispute your claim that the Bible belt is the "worst part of America". To me, the least prosperous part of the country includes parts of the Appalachian region(West Virginia and Kentucky). And neither one of those two states is part of the bible belt.

In fact, history has shown that religion (Christianity to be specific) brings prosperity to any nation. At the height of her power, in the 18th and early 19th centuries, the Great Britain was the most religious country in the world. They were sending Christian missionaries all over the world.

when u use all your time to stay in church than to work, don't blame God for your poverty. u can hardly find the rich, working class or business people attending weekday service. only the lazy and idle ones u will see as regulars. even God demands that you work and rest just once a week. no food for a lazy man is not a riddle. it is applicable to all humans, Christians and non Christians.

You got it wrong there.
To believe is totally different from Hope.
Scientist do not have faith, they have Hope. This is why they research and go fru trials upon trials. And they way they do things can be repeated and can be thought to anybody.
You cant teach a person how to heal another person, or speak in tongues.
you are limiting faith here to religion. Faith is belief in something. When you work you have to believe in that work for it to succeed. This is what people call hope. Whichever, you need faith or hope for your work to succeed.

stop typing useless things, Americans are notorious for not going to church. the population of Christians in America that go to church are 30%.

Bill gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren buffet, Oprah winfrey n a host of wealthiest Americans are not Christians so don't even try to equate America's wealth with Christianity. America got rich as a nation through killing n oppressing the natives who own the Americas and thru slavery of black people, America was built by blood of slaves.

There are several countries on earth that aren't Christians and they are 100000000 times better than Nigeria that carry church for head like unripe plantain.

Don't even go there

If I'm not wrong... the Israelites used to go to the temple once in a year... not to demand for private jet, but to seek for forgiveness and burn offerings to God.

Not today we go to church everyday to consistently asking God to kill that our helpless poor neighbour, granny, Uncle we don't like in the name of Enemies.

When we get bored with first prayer point, we switch to the one whereby we want God to give us mansions and private jets before next year from our pure water business. then we drop 1k as tithe for God to buy airtime and call that our HELPER who will transfer MIRACULOUS 1 billion into our account....

The main challenge is our short cut mentality. God wants to gives us wisdom to do things and not give us things to use directly. After kicking man out a the garden of eden He mandated us to work and not to pray to Him for the needs to be provided by Him directly.

The whites know this and don't joke with wisdom and education/ knowledge.

she never abandon her faith but only reduced the no of times spent on weekly activities to channel it fruitfully.
Or does she go to collect her faith 3 times a week?
she did read the post well. She said she is not going to church again.

Why do u think ppl are dying to pay their tithes? because the pastor has assured them of divine investment. That why they wld remain dogged in paying their tithes, even tho they know that Hebrews 7:5-12 has abolished paying of tithe.
5 True, according to the Law, those of the sons of Leʹvi who receive their priestly office have a commandment to collect tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers, even though these are descendants of Abraham. 6 But this man who did not trace his genealogy from them took tithes from Abraham and blessed the one who had the promises. 7 Now it is undeniable that the lesser one is blessed by the greater. 8 And in the one case, it is men who are dying who receive tithes, but in the other case, it is someone of whom witness is given that he lives. 9 [/b]And it could be said that even Leʹvi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes through Abraham, [b]10 for he was still a future descendant of his forefather when Mel·chizʹe·dek met him.
11 If, then, perfection was attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for it was a feature of the Law that was given to the people), what further need would there be for another priest to arise who is said to be in the manner of Mel·chizʹe·dek and not in the manner of Aaron? 12 For since the priesthood is being changed, it becomes necessary to change the Law as well.

You never know as e dey go, you still dey gym mouth... The only set of people who come abroad and still continue being over religious are really the uneducated or unenlightened... Shebi na oyibo give you this religion wey you carry for head so? When you travel, you will understand that only hardwork and dedication brings prosperity and not the number of times you kiss your pastor's feet in a week.... You will grind hard for that bill, that's the only rehabilitation you will need to purge you off the excessive overdose of the craps you have been fed over the years by many phoney pastors.
You don't know me Mr and don't spill your ignorance here. I live, work and undergoing phd studies in one of the best school in Europe. I don't want to start comparing my achievement with yours because there is none in the first place but I can assure you I hold my faith in God very high than your so called grind. I am a living testimony of God's blessing through Christ. Muslims abound here doing very well but you can see that dedication they have to their own faith despite their successes. Is only misguided Christians who were brought up in the biblical that will come here and all of a sudden forget what they believe in. A faithless soul is a hopeless one.

Those who know God always long to keep appointment with him,they don't serve him because of bread and better. Even Jesus made it clear that man shall not live by bread alone . The woman should reexamine her stand & shouldn't be misled by the love of the world instead of the love of God.

It baffles me how we ended up becoming extremely more religious than those who even introduced us to it.

We don't even the principles of the Bible we claim to read. the earlier we realize that after Adam fûck up in the beginning, God himself cursed us to Work for our bread not pray for it. dispensation of manner falling is over, yet Africa doesn't realize that.

What a visitor sees in a place is not reality.

Imagine coming to Lekki and shopping around there, eating around and going to cinema - Is that Nigeria?

She suffered a culture shock and needs help.

Upon all the hardwork and wealth in Europe many still live miserable lives because they have abandoned faith.

I have met and worked with some - They admit loving the warmth in Africa.

Have you wondered why whites loved coming back to Nigeria even when their employers post them to other places?

Thank God that we pray in Nigeria. We may not have money but Nigerians are happy.

The woman needs prayers - she has suffered a culture shock and now wants to live like an English in Nigeria. If she abandons her friends in church, she will be preparing for shame, when the day of her needs come. I dont pray she suffers any wrong though.

Where she travelled to they did not tell her the woeful misery old people go through, and how some even die of cold at home and their closest neighbours wont even know.

Africans have been warm even before the Europeans ever dreamed of bringing Christianity !

So the numerous excellent Asian and European students who are irreligious are not also PhD students right? So they are hopeless according to you? According to you, "you are in one of the best schools in Europe so there is no basis of comparison with you". I don hear, there is no need for me to brag. However, I stand by my word.

The woman never knew the reason she went to church at first place. She seemed to be a lazy type or one without brain. She used to go to church 3 times in a week. She could have made it 7 times. Nonchenchi.
