Nigerian rapper, Falz in a recent interview with Silverbird
Television revealed why he does not go to church saying
“I’m not an atheist. I believe there is a God. But I believe
in spirituality over religion. I have nothing against the church or going to
church. Everyone has the right to practice the religion they desire. It has
been a while that I have been to church. It does not make me less of a
Christian".
He went on to say,
“the reason is that I went to a few churches and, during
sermons, I was put under undue pressure. There was a time that a pastor called
me to the altar just to acknowledge my presence for being in church. In my
mind, I felt that the service was not about me.
I felt that everybody was there to worship God, yet they
were putting undue pressure on me. The pastor gave me the microphone to address
the congregation and I was puzzled; what did he expect me to say to the
congregation?”
