religion has really dealt with me negatively in the past. I will always be afraid of what is not real, doubting my intelligence because i believe I need holy spirit to interpret things to me before I take a step. I became lazy believing my own intelligence is not worth it. My confidence has been completely taken away. Miracles only take place in the bible. No physical miracle done any pastor in jesus name. I pity those still believing the nonsense

It's not about black and white my friend, over religious countries are usually dirt poor. Check out South America, Latin America, the Middle East, some European countries you'd see the pattern.

I did not go to church because I have come to realize that it is a business for some people.

True religion is loving your neighbour as yourself irrespective of whether they are christians, muslims, atheists, gays, lesbians or heterosexuals.

Where did Jesus say we should go to church? What is really in the church? Going there to listen to stories from the so call men of God telling u how God bless them financially? how they raised death, make cripple to walk, yet mortuaries are full with dead bodies? Going to church to give money and tithe to enrich one man and his family? Those men will preach on what they are good at and hide the area they are found vulnerable.

Thanks for that input


Dangrace01:
Listening to Eckhart Tolle Life is now.

Just thinking of how wonderful Life is. He says there is nothing like past or future, life is happening now even when you think of the past you can only think of it now. The future exist as thought forms just an illusion

So my friends live life now!! now!! now!! now!!

Anything you want to do do it now.


Life is more deeper than doing things religiously.


Steve job once said knowing Im going to die is
Best way I know I have nothing to loose. So why are you living a limited life Go out and fight for your dreams nothing on Earth can stop you.

Happy Sunday

[b][/b][quote author=Zetty177x post=94358300] I think I have many reasons:

First I have issues with pastors and certain members. The Pastors think they are holier than thou. They feel they are closer to God..than you. Many pastors n their followers don't have the fruit of the spirit. We have seen their behavior can I start to mention? See the way Ibiyiemi behaved recently?...some xtians will tell u not to look at them but Christ. But when they want to collect tithe , they won't ask Christ directly for the tithe.. I remember I went to Mountain of Fire at Igbefun Round about Lekki..the ushers removed chair from my waist..I almost fell on the ground...I was waiting after closing for friend inside...not even up to 5mins, they came like rioters, dragging chairs...na wa for those people

Another reason is offering n tithe.i prefer to give to the poor than these jet and Aeroplane, designer wearing pastors. They are so worldly ..
they fry their hair and marry fair and the most beautiful ladies. They hardly marry the ugly ones.

Summary..in Nigeria, church is business.

I prefer to worship God at home and do good deeds. He lives in me. I love my God. I don't need a fellow human to tell me he sees God ..or God spoke to him[/quote]

The bolded is so true.
That's my reason also.

I examined my belief and realized it does not hold up to reality. I was a Christian because I was born into it, I could easily have been born Muslim or Hindu or to one of the many other religions.
welcome to the sane community. I did same to the Islam that I was born into.

Only critical, unbias, and lack of fear of the imaginary hell fire in these religions can set one free.

RELIGION IS NOT FOR EVERY HUMAN. I THINK I'VE EVOLVED ABOVE RELIGION

I discovered it will hard for a religious man to be successful in this life...I mean religious man, not a spiritual man unless if you're rich already or have helpers.

Why?

Church of nowadays demand for almost everything that you have.

The little money you have, the time you should be investing for bettering your life, your unending commitment and so on.

And if you fail at any point to meet their requirements, you're seen as a fool or a betrayal...it's like a contest or competition.

More like members are trying to prove themselves.

Some will still be pompous as if they are the most spiritual. Church is complicated nowadays and we need restructuring.

Another thing is that pastors brainwash people anyhow without knowing the effect on their members...today, they will tell you money is not everything... Don't waste your life chasing it...another time, they will be like You're not meant to be poor...and I will be like

people are still in this delusional state (especially sunni Muslims). They trust revelation (Qur'an) more than their own brain. Thus, they're stuck in the delusion forever.

I stopped believing in religion when I started using my brain properly without indoctrination interference.

[quote author=jesusjnr2020 post=94357159]I haven't yet found the kind of church in the book of Acts yet.

I'm still searching... Maybe one day because that my kind of church, my kind of mindset, my kind of commitment, my kind of focus, my kind of Word which is the Words Of Jesus!

I hope to find one soon, if I don't find one, it means I might have to start one.

But in the meantime, I'd keep preaching the Words of Jesus and i'm doing great because God's with me so I don't need to be in church building to feel His presence.

God bless.[/quote

Can we start one? what are you looking for in Church gathering?

Going to church is not my thing from day one. I had lots of problem with mumsy back then while I was still under her roof because she always forced me to go to church.

I am now staying alone and I can't even remember the last time I went to church. I believe in one on one relationship with my creator.....These pastors and over sabi hypocritical fvcking church members annoy me. "I have a short fuse" Make I nor go vex oneday burst person head for church. It's better I stay at home.

We shall keep educating you guys, not because we want you to be extremely wise and confident like us (and thus leave religion), but because we want you to have some doubts about the validity of your religion.

Having doubt however little will help yo to be less judgemental about other people's perspectives such as other religions, other sexual orientations etc.

It will also help some of you with great empathy not to worry too much about the afterlife of your loved ones who don't follow your religion. You will accept the possibility of your loved ones not ending in the eternal Lake of fire despite his/her religion believe.

Lord have mercy on me. I will go to church next Sunday to feel the word,
meditate the word.just feel lazy today.

Some times studying and understanding scripture is difficult for me but when I listen to preaching , I understood more.

Anything to build my christian life. Me l like it.
The other day, pastor preached about when Job saw that his prayer was not answered,he stop praying for himself and instead pray for his friends and his prayer was answered. I usually ponder over bible stories.

Another story I head a pastor preached that moved me was about Nebuchadnezzar.
When Nebuchadnezzar ordered 3 men of God into fire. He then shouted and asked: I ordered 3 men ( Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego) into fire but how come am seen 4? The fourth was an angel.

Seen that they were not hot and amazed.

Therefore he issue this decree: Anyone anywhere, of any race, color, or creed, who says anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego will be ripped to pieces, limb from limb, and their houses torn down. There has never been a god who can pull off a rescue like this.”

Listening to bible stories lifted my spirits and I set tears listening to those stories.

No wonder the bible says faith cometh by hearing.
