Church And The Crime Capital Of The World! by Elev82014: 7:12pm On May 12, 2023
China is currently the world's leading economic power. In China, there is almost Zero Church presence. Prosperity preachers are useless in China.

Finland has the most stable economy in the world today. There are less than twenty churches in Finland. Sow-to-prosper doesn't work in Finland.

Switzerland has the second most stable economy in the world.
Switzerland has fewer than thirty churches. Miracle money is not welcome in Switzerland.

Denmark is the third most stable economy in the world, there are about 23 churches in Denmark. Denmark doesn't pray for it's economic stability.
These countries are considered to have the highest number of atheists, but they are prosperous!

Let's go to #Africa...
There are more than 10,000 churches per region including 4,000 churches in the city of Yaoundé alone! Yet poverty is driving Cameroonians to even other poor countries.

About 4100 churches in only the city of Abidjan!

7000 churches in only the city of Kinshasa!

Over 20,000 churches in only the city of Lagos in Nigeria! Lagos is just one state out of 36 states that make up Nigeria. Yet Nigerians are leading the world in corruption and crimes.

In Africa, there are more churches than schools and hospitals combined! More pastors than doctors.

Everyone is born again yet crimes are on the increase.

Everyone is covered with the blood of Jesus yet accidents happen on our bad roads.

Everyone is filled with the Holy Spirit yet our morals are depreciating in geometric progression.

Africa's religiosity does not reflect the morals that are hoped for in a society.


We are among the most deceiving, the most corrupt, the most hypocritical, the most hateful on the planet today, Our people need to distinguish between religion and stupidity or between spirituality and brainwashing! Meditate on this before you start running off your mouth.

We are being deceived that Americans are not churchy and not spiritual, it’s a lie!

I live in the US and have travelled far and wide within the country to know that they have big churches that get jam packed during service and worship hours.

The bad leadership structure in Nigeria is the main reason for castigating the church and Christianity.

Are you trying to say that Churches are the problem?
Most of you nonsensical people do not have the gut to say the same about Islam.
Because of Christian believe in love and freedom, some of you are trampling on Christianity. Church is not the problem of Nigeria. Church is not the cause of Boko haram in Nigeria, Church is not the cause of Ansaru in Nigeria, Church is not the cause of unknown gunmen in Nigeria, Church is not the cause of Corruption and maladministration in Nigeria. Church is not the cause of technology dearth in Nigeria.
Op, stop your nonsense. If you want to be atheist, so be it. Nobody cares much.

You're a freaking M0R0N! You need to stop this foolishness of "What aboutism?"
1. Who are the ones scamming their members by making false predictions about their future? Your so-called men of God.
2. Who are the ones winning and dining with your crooked politicians? Your Pastors
3. Who are the ones giving front-row seats in their churches to crooked and fraudulent politicians who had impoverished the citizens? Your daddy G.Os
4. Who are the ones that accept millions of naira in donations from murderers and armed robbers to pray for them? Your men of God.
5. Who are the ones that would be telling their members to buy olive oil for their security while they drive around in a bulletproof convoy with armed security men? Your Pastors.
6. Who are the ones living opulent lifestyles while their members are living in abject poverty? Your men of God. I can go on and on and on.

So, please do NOT come here with this bullshit about Christianity and all that jazz. You fools mistake Christianity for something else. If you actually read the Bible, you need to ask yourself whether Jesus Christ lived the way your Pastors and Daddy G.Os live today. Let me say it once again, your pastors and so-called men of God are scammers and they have no conscience otherwise they would NOT be doing what they are doing. Jesus Christ in the Bible spoke truth to power. He spoke out against injustice, He lived amongst the poor and the downtrodden and He never took money to pray for fraudsters or anyone for that matter. But your men of God are silent when evil is being perpetrated against the people. They offer crooked politicians, thieves, and armed robbers front-row seats in their churches and pray for them just for monetary benefit. I am NOT an advocate for any religion but since you're comparing your pastors to imams, could you please tell me any imams acting in the manners that I listed above?

You have lost your mind. You probably think I would toe your direction of thought or reasoning in responding to you.
Nigeria has problems which are well noted by all except criminals who are quick to rile idi0ts into their manner of reasoning__church blaming. The idi0ts who blame churches do not blame other religion especially Islam. It is noted that religious riots and terrorism
instigated by Fanatical Muslims has cost Nigeria so much in life and properties and even in peace and tranquility. Today, millions of Nigerians from Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Kaduna, Taraba etc are living in IDP camps courtesy of Islamists. The idi0ts who blame churches for selling anointed oil or make prophecy would turn a blind eye to the above.
For the past 8 years and indeed, since independence, so much measured in hundreds of billions of dollars has been lost to official corruption and civil wars and different conflict in Nigeria. Non of these conflicts or embezzlement of public funds was caused by church. None of these were caused by men of God.
President Buhari's regime dragged more than 50million Nigerians back into poverty within 8years, but to you, it is church selling anointing oil that is your problem.
You go about listing isolated cases and magnifying it while avoiding the real issue in your deep hatred for Christianity. You are frustrated and you should take you frustration elsewhere.
I do not support any church, which are deceptive. But unfortunately, people are turning to church business and prayer trading because of evils I have already mentioned. Nigeria is bleeding and church is not the cause. We will not continue to join criminals to attack the church because they found it a soft target.

You are beyond pathetic! I did NOT expect you to tow my line of reasoning even if you try because your ignorance is beyond comprehension. You could not even articulate your thoughts well enough to respond to the questions posed to you, instead, you are relying on your wilful ignorance as always to spew garbage and defend the indefensible. First, I do NOT venture into areas I am not versed in. I delve into issues and areas that I know well enough to engage in intelligent discourse.

I am NOT a Muslim and NOT well adept to talk about Islam other than the superficial knowledge I have of the religion from reading and the physical manifestation of what I see happening especially in Nigeria, which is not good either. But Christianity is what I know well enough because I was born and raised in it. Having said that, I have every right to talk about your pastors who are using their so-called "Calling" to scam desperate, poor, naive, and gullible members of their congregation.

Yes, you stated how churches are being burned by Muslim terrorists, the question then is how many of your Pastors have the balls to speak out against the maiming and killing of their parishioners? Absolutely NONE! And why is that? Because they are in cahoots with the crooked politicians and do NOT want to mess up their gravy train. And the sad part about it is that those of you who profess to be Christians in name only would justify albeit blindly and ignorantly any bad behavior by your pastors and men of God.

Your pastors have used religion and Christianity to impoverish the masses who themselves are too ignorant and gullible to reason for themselves. They had been taught by the pastors that the reason they are in the condition that they are in is that they are either NOT sowing enough seed or NOT paying enough tithe. They are also told that prayer is the ONLY answer to whatever problem they have. These scammers blatantly lie to them that if they desire good roads, security, electricity, a job, and a better life all they need is PRAYER..

So, please get it thru your head, I am NOT blaming the church, instead, I am blaming the scammers who go by various names: Pastors, Men of God, and Daddy G.Os! Now, watch the video at the link below and see if you would get a better insight.

You are still struggling to push your thoughts through.

Yes, Society do not pray their way out of poverty. Society also do not riot their way out of their problem.
The economic problems and other problem of the society are always solved with good political leadership. You can never expect the church to solve Nigeria problem because it is beyond them and that is why they ask people to pray. The church plays a lot of role in in the welfare of their member. One of such role is the 'opium' role; where the church helps people to bear the pains. The problems that led people to churches were not created by Pastors, instead by bad leadership.
The church and church leaders contributes their quota to the promotion of the good political leadership and welfare of the society. One of the leading voices against oppression and bad leadership in Nigeria are Arch Mattew Kukah, Bishop Chukwuma, Bishop Oyedepo and many more like them. The Christian religious leaders, under CAN, has repeatedly condemned all sort of killings that targets innocents and Christians in Nigeria. The CAN has also mounted pressure on governments to acts.
You must stop looking at the bad things. Your eyes only see some bad isolated cases. The church has been a champion of education, health, human right and freedom.
You claim to delve into areas you are versed in, but unfortunately, your eyes sees only the things you want to see. Nothing stops you also from reading about the contributions of Islam and other religious groups to the current security problems, economic hardships and human right abuses bedevilling Nigeria.
Churches and Pastors has never impoverished the masses. In fact, the church is a great promoter of hard work. Every church wants their members to pay tithes and tithes has to come from your earnings. Can church impoverish people in order to get tithes? What kind of logic is that? Which research claim that church impoverished people? In Nigeria, the Christian dominated areas performs better in education, health and poverty alleviation. If church impoverishes people, why are the Christian majority states doing better? You must open your mind to learning and critique the nonsense you scripted above.
I am not acquitting some Pastors of scams, but to gather church together for condemnation because of the bad conduct of few people is unacceptable.
You guys that are too critical of churches should just be the atheist you want to be instead of pretending to be fighting bad Christian practices. The major problems of Christians and Nigerians are terrorism and bad leadership/corruption, not Pastors.

OH LAWD! I just DON'T do dumb and can NOT dignify ignorance and lack of reasoning. You keep talking about the church (inanimate object) as if I am blaming the church per se. I guess you can NOT differentiate the churches as an entity and the humans (Pastors) who run them. You really need to get a grip and STOP conflating the two. The church as an inanimate object does NOT make decisions but your pastors, daddy G.Os and the so-called men of God who run them are the ones I am talking about. They are the ones that I have a problem with because they are the ones scamming and deceiving their congregants. And if you have a problem with that, you know what to do, don't you?

China is currently the world's leading economic power. In China, there is almost Zero Church presence. Prosperity preachers are useless in China.

Finland has the most stable economy in the world today. There are less than twenty churches in Finland. Sow-to-prosper doesn't work in Finland.

Switzerland has the second most stable economy in the world.
Switzerland has fewer than thirty churches. Miracle money is not welcome in Switzerland.

Denmark is the third most stable economy in the world, there are about 23 churches in Denmark. Denmark doesn't pray for it's economic stability.
These countries are considered to have the highest number of atheists, but they are prosperous!

Let's go to #Africa...
There are more than 10,000 churches per region including 4,000 churches in the city of Yaoundé alone! Yet poverty is driving Cameroonians to even other poor countries.

About 4100 churches in only the city of Abidjan!

7000 churches in only the city of Kinshasa!

Over 20,000 churches in only the city of Lagos in Nigeria! Lagos is just one state out of 36 states that make up Nigeria. Yet Nigerians are leading the world in corruption and crimes.

In Africa, there are more churches than schools and hospitals combined! More pastors than doctors.

Everyone is born again yet crimes are on the increase.

Everyone is covered with the blood of Jesus yet accidents happen on our bad roads.

Everyone is filled with the Holy Spirit yet our morals are depreciating in geometric progression.

Africa's religiosity does not reflect the morals that are hoped for in a society.


We are among the most deceiving, the most corrupt, the most hypocritical, the most hateful on the planet today, Our people need to distinguish between religion and stupidity or between spirituality and brainwashing! Meditate on this before you start running off your mouth.
