The two are religions of politics

As a born again Christian who is meant to speak the truth at all times, i commend governor El-rufai for this bold move. Christianity especially needs serious regulations from authorities nationwide.

In every street of the federation especially in the south, there are minimum of 5 churches per street yet our ways and morals are steadily declining. We are a bunch of religious bigot but UnGodly people. Many fake pastors are springing up daily giving fake prophecies and commercializing the gospel of our lord Jesus. The principles of true Christianity has been bastardized by the money conscious hawks parading as pastors.

All they preach is money and prosperity, the teaching of love, tolerance and soul winning has been abandoned for commercial Christianity, Yet we wonder why our society is morally bankrupt. We Christians are not tolerant of other religion. We forget Nigeria is a secular state and the Nigerian constitution allows for freedom of worship. Any seperate beliefs from ours is considered evil and our intolerance is likely to spring up religious crisis if not checked by the government.

Our extremist views are the reasons why a pastor will just wake up and set fire on a traditional worshippers shrine because he considers the shrine as Evil yet we hypocritically condemn such if a church is attacked by non Christians. What happens to the concept of live and let live? Why can't we Christians mind our business for Christ sake? Why do we threaten any one with a contrary view and belief with Hell fire and destruction?

An Ogun, IFA, Sango or other forms of traditional worship is automatically hated and labeled Evil spirit by we Christians yet we pretend to preach love and tolerance. The bible admonishes us to love our neighbors as ourselves but all we do is pray for the destruction of contrary views and beliefs shouting Fire fire fire up and down. What is the definition of religious extremist? Look in the mirror my fellow Christian brothers.

We are a selfish bunch who doesn't care about the convenience and health of our neighbors as long as we worship in noise pollution. How do you explain blaring loud speakers in the middle of the night in the name of night vigil when others are sleeping after a long day's work? Must everybody be a Christian? Why can't we look inward and be considerate for Christ sake and stop the massive noise pollution associated with our mode of worship in this part of the world? Why do we portray God as a deaf and dumb who must be shouted at before our prayers are answered? Can't we worship and pray in minimal noise or perhaps silence?

We Christians need a massive reorientation to restore sanity because our present ways and values is not Christ like. I hope the Federal government and other states emulate kaduna state government and pass laws to regulate religious rascality in churches and mosques. Enough is enough

May the holy Spirit forgive you. Judge not my anointed and do my Prophet no harm. Read your Bible well before you judge and condemn your fellow Christian brothers
