We all ask the same question, all the time.

Seun:
Why not talk to your pastors at Dunamis Abuja? They just might mention it on Sunday if you inform them.

LordScent:






That was insensitive of you seun... Your sarcasm is duly noted. There is only so much one can expect from an atheist anyway.

That was not sarcasm. That was a nice piece of advice or suggestion as the OP demanded. Don't get infected with the regular religion section trolls' penchant for seeing every NL atheist comment as ''them vs Us'' comment.Dude could have informed his pastors first instead of rushing down to expose the inadequacies of his fellow (christian) church members on a large forum as Nairaland.

Thank you for your observation.A person's belief hasnt and will not determine my mode of interaction simply because, as human we all have equal rights to belief whatever / whomever we deem worthy. And its no one's fault if certain people doesnt even belief in anything at all.



Back to your observation, i think to a small extent you are right but a larger percentage of your thought were based on purposeful misinterpretation of the op's true intention. I could be wrong on this though



.Examine this ..



As an fashion enthusiast for example, seeing the new craze of distressed jean being the order of the day, i found it logically awkward why i would prefer a torn clothing to a neatly pressed pair. Here is the catch, i could choose to ask my boss (the designer) but i choose to ask on nairaland what the motive behind such vogue was simply because I NEED THE OPINNION OF PEOPLE THAT REALLY UNDERSTANDS THE "FASHIONISTIC FACTORS" behind the new trend. Definitely not the opinnions of an ELEHA (for example) that has no bussiness with fashion trends to start with.


Sorry if i lost you there.


But in the context of the example cited, opinnions of church workers, evangelist, pastors and ministers on NAIRALAND count just as much as the op's pastor back in the church.


So seun's comment might be right and just, it still doesnt take away the sarcasm and pile of bile it carried with it. In a simpler version, he was saying " why you dey tell us, no be una people wey dey go church get una problem. Abeg carry your wahala back go give ya pastor jaree "

Seun nitori olorun. I wanna ask you lots of questions pls!




Sarcasm at the highest point noted

Driving out of church today (dunamis abuja) long traffic out, and i stopped for few secs for people to cross the road and the lady behind me, who also just left church started honking loudly and screaming at me. Was on the virge of screaming back when i just decided not to fall to her level. Took me real effort to not just park and give her a piece of my mind.

Whats my point? churches preach so much about loving God.. Yada yada yada... And almost nothing about loving ur neighbor no more. Disagree with me all u will, but we nigerian Christian suck in morals. It doesn't take an Einstein to knw this.

Patience, tolerance, honesty, truthfulness, meekness, kindness. If right after chruch smone cannot give a lift to a fellow church member going same way, how much more a total, non Christian stranger on a week day

Question: how can we Christians (nigerians in general) drop our useless, face value, empty spirituality and for once just be moral. If smone tries to cheat u... And so what? If everyone is jumping the queue, or beating traffic, and so what, must we too? (ps: i really really get pissed when people, Christian with a big a.s.s sticker in a hold up just drive off the queue/road just to beat everyone else tho)

Here is my proposal, (suggestions are highly welcomed). Starting a movement #JUST DO RIGHT!!

Ps: this also goes for Muslims and traditionalists, just that Christianity is my immediate constituency

How many Churches have you visited? Rubbish. So because dunamis abuja doesn't teach you well, then everyone is like the woman that shouted at you? Nonsense. You hear me? Big nonsense

I was going to give u an "appropriate" response... Then i saw this

"Today, I am suffering because of my disobedience.
My dad told me to read law in school. I loved law and wanted law for a course, but soon I changed my mind because of the things I heard about lawyers when I was in primary 6. I left my dream of becoming a lawyer and chose banking. I read finance and banking. To cut the long story short, this is 3 years without a job. I am 26 and all my effort in trying to land myself a job has failed. I feel so empty and broke. Still under momma's roof and eating her meal...Feeling ashamed... But why?"

U either knw nothing aka dumb or just bitter and in denial. Are majoroty of nigerians not dishonest? Are majority not intolerant, are we not largely lawless? Yet come sundays and the churches are filled up all shouting to high heavens.

Little advice to u... Take ur head out of ur a.s.s and maybe, just maybe u wld leave under ir mommas roof soon.

Sorry dude.. This is going to be my last response to u dear. Dnt take this as an insult or anything please... Ur opinion doesnt count on this thread... As far as i am consigned sir... U are not knowledgeable or experienced enough to understand my point of view.. So please dnt take up space for those that can make reasonable arguments. Thnk you

Oh. Thats cool.. Bit i doubt its hving the desired results just yet, Or how else do u explain the disposition of the average nigerian. Maybe other churches need to do more.. Right?

Coz all we actually need.. In my opinion is 5 oit of 10 people doing right (morally) and others wld fall in line naturally, or dnt u think so. Case in point..

How well behaved we get when we travel to saner countries
