I think you the one been myopic, the way you totally pass the buck of poverty on religious leaders and leave out the government is amusing, very funny to my hearing
We shouldn’t blame government for poverty? We should Blame pastors for building befinitting worship centers
You amazing sir/ma

Atlas9:


If they run it for free you would still be the first to mock after it closes down.
The universities abroad, are they cheap, even for their citizens? Why do people invest in education?
After you pay Covenant university, do you come away with anything? Do they get a percentage of your salary?
The islamic universities springing up everywhere, are they for free?
Stop the nonsense.

PervertProphet:


All these stupid people inclusive of the Islamists, Jehovah Witnesses, etcetera who mock the Church but the Church has been at forefront of developing the world for 1800 year now.

Ozimama:
using offering money to build it is good sha

EmekaBlue:

They ask you to pray for money but collect money from you. Why don't they pray for the money to fall from heaven?!

Benesis:


Not true, most where polytheistic.
Greek, Egyptian, Norse, etc

Pecuman:


Norse won't really be considered a Civilization by the stricter definition until they converted and I said post-christianity.

Polytheistic Greek and Egyptian civilization were long Christianized by then and all their main competition (Zoroastrians, Confucians, Dharmic) were all Monotheistic or Pantheistic (One God but many manifestations)

Benesis:


How were they Christianized? Socrates Predated Jesus, and the greek golden age of pericles predated Jesus.. And Egypt at the height of its glory predated even the Greeks, so how fo u say greece and egypt where christisnized

kokolet007:
Is it free? Cos I don't understand why people are praising him.. He just open another business for him and his family

Ibrahimmrfish:

So,Ife,Benin,Hausa cities, Igala kingdom,Oyo empire,Nupe kingdom,Borno empire all were not civilized?

ityP:


Sis, you don talk am finish. Satan has indeed blindly the eyes of the unbelievers. The Messiah medical centre is owned by Reverend S.O Academe, who does miracles on a weekly basis in his church; church of eternal life. I wonder whether he will suspend his miracles for now. Cause if the miracles continue, him hospital business go die be that

Amotolongbo:
argumentum ad ignorantium.

Civilization had started far back, a very long time before Christianity.

Pecuman:


I think you are ignoring where I wrote "every post-christianity", Yes anicient Greece and Egypt were Civilizations before Christianity but almost(in the historical sense) as soon as Christianity appeared, those regions became Christian and the projected quality of life of the inhabitants of those regions were better in that early Christianity period than during their ancient Civilization periods. (Although this is as much because of cumulative improvements in technology since the ancient period).

Most of these Civilizations in their ancient incarnations were worse places to live in for the average person than in their Christian incarnations. The majority of the population of Greece were slaves in Ancient times and Ancient Agricultural techniques that Egypt used were back breaking.

Benesis:


lols
you make it sound as if Christianity had anything yo do with the ending of slavery, far from it, Christianity supported slavery...
and the dark age in world civilization history where the period that Christians controlled the world, destroying anything (books, architectures and relics) and anyone (scientist, philosophers and independent thinkers) who stood in the way

Pecuman:


And you literally still believe renaissance dark age myth. Fine, "dark ages" Europe paled in comparison to alter eras but that is to be expected in a region that continued it growth from the "dark ages" without catastrophic invasions to disrupt them.

There was some intentional destruction of classical art works but much, much more was presented only by the intentional preservation work of Monks and Churches. Compare what we know of pre-dark age Europe vs pre-dark age Ancient Greece, pre-dark age Axum or pre-dark age Maurayan India and you will see the Stark difference in volume of what was preserved.

We literally have works from Aristotle, Caesar, Lucian of Samosarta and many, many other works that were preserved through dark ages Europe, while after ancient Greece went through its dark age, it libraries vanished and written language gone, when Axum went through a dark age almost all written down records of Axum went, when India went through a dark age, we basically forgot that one of its greatest Emperors, Ashoka the great, ever existed.

Without intentional and expensive work by the Church and monistaries to protect pre-christian knowledge, the same would have happened in Europe and we would barely know a thing about Rome.

Except at worst anything the Christian governments did was stop supporting Pagan schools, schools of which had stopped innovating for centuries, like name any Greek scientist that invented something or some new idea wasn't from the ancient Era, the closest we have was a Christian that gave our first recorded example of experimental methodology in knowledge (so closest ancient thing to a real scientist).

The Pagans weren't even banned in the East before they disappeared and in the West, they weren't the ones associate with any sort of "science". Like for example Charlemagne had to issue laws in the newly conquered Saxons territories to stop Witch accusations and lynchings. Is that the supposed "science" that was in opposition to Christianity?

By the time that there was any official law making Paganism illegal in Christian states in the West, was during Charlemagne's regin. Before then the worst was to be banished from the centres of power, even the first few examples of people killed by the state for exposing heretical thought were against the Church's recommendation and done under what was already considered illegal by secular authorities. (Usually accusation of using sorcery against people, which was a civil offence in the Roman court among many other peoples as well, including the Mongols and Chinese).

Or in other words, by the time that being one of your "anyone (scientist, philosophers and independent thinkers) who stood in the way" those practically didn't exist in the boundaries of Christian states and we're more subversive foreign elements.
