I totally agree with OP. Most Churches are set up to alleviate the life of founders
They really don't care about the welfare of .

femi4:
That’s why you're uninformed

The church is the gathering of believers to share all manner of resources

so as I no dey church I no believe, that's the lies they are telling you, I go church u before

I have peace of mind since I stopped this
two things
1) going to church
2)trying hard to impress people

Most of these modern churches don't have God In them, it's just business and slavery,they set up these churches for the sole purpose of profit tithes,offering and the are slaves or stepping stones,they keep pressuring you to bring more to the church in guise of soul winning you will just waste all your time and productive years if you are not careful.

As for the latter,you can never impress people impossible! Stop trying to impress people because it is an endless journey you want to embark on,you will never impress them, I personally don't give a damn! Sometimes last year a lot of my friend and family always insult me saying I am lazy and ambition less they say it the reason why I am not doing well in life .
I heard their advice and became hardworking God willing things started to change for me financially ,money started coming in,did you know most of these my friends and family started becoming envious and jealous ,these are the same people that always advise me in the past now what happened?
My observation about people is that humans love bad news more than good news,people will more excited to hear you went to steal and got caught than to hear you bought a new car,so why worry yourself over people who are mostly sadists ...

I started having peace of mind since I stopped playing Bet9ja Virtual game.... ..... Stopping virtual game made me believe we have the power to decide how we want to live our lives...... I've always known I can stop it. ..

Wait, lemmi ask you this, who in your family has disability caused by Sheria? Have you forgotten flogging is usually the penalty for minor crimes? Before disability will be caused, there must have been harden crime committed.

Note; It is better your hand is cut for a crime committed here than facing the penalty thereafter.

Wow, so a homo sapien can actually reason like this? OMG!

Sonnobax15:

Op,I sincerely and totally understand your point...

But my own peace of mind came and still comes from the fact that, since I realized that no one is coming to save me,since then,I said to myself I'll work my assss out just to make my life better than what and how it used to be these previous years+++my peace of mind comes first before any other thing............

From your post, it's also clear that you are competing with your former self; to become better than your former self, rather than competing with anyone else or other people. That's a very good attitude and a very healthy competition that will also give you additional peace of mind. There won't be anything like jealousy or unhealthy rivalry if everybody thinks like this. Very good principle.

You can always turn it down instead of not going to church completely

Going to church doesn't means anything to someone life. You can pray privately and leave your normal life, most of those pastors are criminals in humans.

Oga that ur no 1 no sharp at all
To serve God no be by force and also the not all churches are like that it depends on the church you dey attend

Smartwave:

They're all the same

churches are not the same

izombie:

Bro shut tf up

Marc3500:
churches are not the same

Prove it. Mind you, I am a Christian too.

Smartwave:

Prove it. Mind you, I am a Christian too.

I'm a Catholic christian it's different from other churches

Marc3500:
I'm a Catholic christian it's different from other churches

You have not provide evidence, you are just mentioning a church name.

Smartwave:

You have not provide evidence, you are just mentioning a church name.

I no get strength to dey type evidence for nairaland and u are just looking for an excuse not to go to church if you want evidence go to a Catholic church or Anglican church to confirm and also ask questions so u will understand how those churches operate and generally to give tithe no be by force nobody dey force you if you no wan give no give
Besides no be stone Dem use build church na money Dem dey use build church and ppl dey donate willingly so it's not by force
And nobody dey force you go church either so peace

Wisdom you dropped here

Talismann:

you really are slow. So why not go to church and make connections with prospective business partners.

Na poverty dey confuse all of una.

ArcSEMPECJ:


Prayer has been even in the days of your ancestors, when they were ignorantly seeking God through a mini god....pouring libations and all that so you don't have a say when it comes to prayers...

Prayer is never and can't be a waste of time, is true you plan your life, but it is equally true you were not born on earth as an adult, so why will you now come and be claiming what you don't know?

As you were born as a child , so you are until you leave this Earth....

But growing up one needs directions and guidance inorder not to fail in life because you can as well plan to fail...

So Prayer is a communication exercise with him who brought you to earth when you knew nothing and even as an adult when you still don't know anything....

Because even as you claim you have grown and known alot because you are now an adult, please can you tell me how after life is

What happens immediately one dies, don't tell me about any morphological write up, just come with your personal experience of death after life...

If you feel like am talking what I don't know, just tell me the story of how you were born even from your mother's womb..... , don't narrate to me what you were told, tell me exactly what you know about your birth as a child you were then...

As we were born on Earth so ignorant, we can only attain some level of knowledge if we PRAY to him that brought us to Earth....

Also know that you didn't just come to this Earth, there is something you need to to solve, may be telling people that Prayer is the key to open doors...

God bless you more....

can you prove there's life after death, any concrete evidence to backup your claims?

Can you prove that prayers works?

You're a Christian because you're born in a Christian home, if you're born in a Muslim or Buddhist home you will become one.

Is obvious that praying is a waste of time, you can never get anything through prayers.

And as of the God aspect, such doesn't exist! there's no iota of evidence to backup that he surely exist. You rely on bible as evidence which is wrong, bible is just a concocted story a book that claimed that a virgin gave birth and donkey talked like a human can be classified as a pure fable.
