A post circulating online recently sparked intense debate after a man openly criticized Christianity, not just the church as an institution, and explained why he no longer identifies with the faith. His message challenged religious assumptions and questioned why people feel entitled to “pray” others back into belief.
The post read:
“Always funny when I tell people I don’t go to church.. And next they say is ‘I’ll be praying for you, I pray you have an encounter with the Holy Spirit one day’
For something I was born in ?
Me wey be drummer boy for church ?
Choir Practice every saturday evening ?
You’re telling someone that was once a full time church boy till 15 and he notice the whole P is all gimmicks and decided to leave ?
The system wasn’t even as glaringly corrupt at the time compared to as it is now.. Yet, I was able to spot the bullcrap and bounce.”
Supporters interpreted his post as a rejection of Christianity itself, arguing that he was calling the entire belief system “bullcrap,” not merely criticizing corrupt church structures. Critics, however, said his tone was dismissive and insulting to sincere believers. The post reflects a broader cultural tension between personal belief, organized religion, and the right to abandon Christianity without being patronized or pressured to return.
