Karl Marx said religion is the opium of the oppressed and the exploited. The current generation of believers makes it easy for me to accept his words.
God does not exist in one particular country and one particular church.
Why do people flock to other countries to seek the Lord, as if in their own countries there is no God? I am tempted to think that the South Africans who went to Nigeria did not go there to seek for the Kingdom of Heaven, but rather the kingdom of earth.
They don't go there to worship God but for the blessing of TB Joshua.
It pains me that believers have lost faith in God but choose to worship pastors. This is one reason why you find people eating grass and drinking petrol in church. T hey worship their pastors so much that they can't think. What kind of a God would allow His beloved children to eat grass and drink poison ?
Something must be done to curb this abuse of the name of God.
When these people get sick, pastors' prayers won't help.
This concept of religion must be re-examined, especially when we have pastors who have bodyguards with AK-47s in church.
