Religion!

I've Been A Member Of The Deeper Life Bible Church Since 2005.

TBH,
The Church Is Built On The Word Of God And It Holds High The Mantra "HOLINESS".
People Outside The Church Have The Narrative Of Deeper Life Members Exhibiting The "Holier Than Thou" Attitude.
And To Some Extent It Is True.

I've Been Judged Right Inside The Church Many Times Because Of The Way I Cut My Hair (Neat Afro And Shaven Edges).
I've Seen Someone Tell A Convert That with The Way He's Behaving,
He Won't Make Heaven.
For Christ's Sake,
This Is Someone You're Trying To Convert.

But That Being Said,
They're Some Cool Ones Out There.
I Inclusive ☺️.
I'd Like To Ask This Question,
Why Is It That Doctrines Practiced Here In Nigeria and Most African Countries Ain't Practised In Other European Countries.

For Example In The UK,
Women Wear Hats To Church.

But Here,
If You Try It,
You'll Be Frowned At.
Is It That Religion Differs From Continent To Continent?

Are We More Righteous Than They Are?
In Summary,
Do What Suits You,
You're Serving God And Not Man.

I Hear Worry About What People In Church Will Say, If You Do Something Wrong.

If You Go To A Church With Members That's Talk Bad About You Instead Of Correcting You,
You're In The Wrong Place.
Do Your Thing,
Read Your Bible/Qur'an As The Case May Be,
Serve Your God,
Practise Humanity.

For Me,
That's All.

I'm Typing From A Place of emotion Right Now,
And It's Making Me Ask Myself If This Thread Actually Makes Sense.

But,
Err.
We Move.

Regardless!
P.S
This Thread Was Made In Connection To The Church I Attended/Attend.

It's Not My Intention To Force Any Of These Narratives On People.
