Finland has the most stable economy in the world today. And there are less than 20 churches in Finland.
Switzerland has the second most stable economy in the world. And Switzerland has less than 30 churches.
Denmark is the third most stable economy in the world. And Denmark has about 23 churches in all.
And all the above are countries considered to be largely atheist in nature, but yet so blessed.
But come to Owerri town, SE Nigeria, from MCC junction to Toronto junction, there are 36 churches. That stretch of about 5 km harbours 36 churches, more churches than the entire Switzerland. And between Owerri and Mgbidi, there are more than 97 churches.
According to CAC, Nigeria has over 23,000 registered churches; which means,
* Nigeria has more churches than schools and hospitals combined.
* Nigeria has more pastors than doctors and teachers combined.
* In Nigeria, everyone is born again.
* All Nigerians are covered in the blood of Jesus.
* And all Nigerians are filled with the Holy Spirit.
Yet none of those claims, reflects in the expected moral elevation of the society. We are still one of the greediest, laziest, ignorant, corrupt, deceitful, gullible hypocritical and hateful set of humans on the planet today, with all our Christ and Holy spirit.
"May we be be granted the grace to draw the line between religiosity and spirituality; that all forms of greed, ignorance and gullibility may be abhorred."
