ALL CHURCHES IN GHANA SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY TAXES TO THE GOVERNMENT FOR SOCIAL PROGRAMS OR BE SHUT DOWN. ALL THE CHARLATAN PASTORS CAUGHT STEALING CHURCH MONEY SHOULD FACE SEVERE JAIL TERMS. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PUNISH AND CLOSE DOWN CHURCHES WITH FAKE PASTORS. THOSE WHO OPEN CHURCHES ONLY TO MAKE FALSE PROPHESIES STEALING FROM GULLIBLE GHANAIANS SHOULD BE JAILED. GHANA SHOULD BE THE FIRST COUNTRY IN AFRICA TO PROSECUTE FALSE PROPHETS WHO LIE AND STEAL WITH IMPUNITY. EUROPEAN MISSIONARY EDUCATION IS THE CAUSE OF THIS EVIL TRADITION WHICH IS NOT HELPING GHANA. OUR ILLITERATE ANCESTORS WERE DOING A BETTER JOB SEARCHING FOR GOD WITH0UT CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM WHICH HAS BROUGHT WAR AND CONFUSION All OVER THE CONTINENT AND THE WORLD AT LARGE.

EVACUATE AND DEMOLISH ALL THESE STRUCTURES!

The filth, lies, blasphemy, adultery, stealing is far more rampant in these institutions than outside. God doesn't even speak or understand Twi, but these people almost want to think so. Twi has done to religion precisely what it has done to our educational system, BASTARDIZE!!!

Religion is a great mystery to many people but the fact is that there is no god. Evolution has uprooted the foundation of religion. The creation story of Garden of Eden is a big fat lie. It is an ancient persian fairy tale. There is no evidence of god, devil, heaven, hell, angels and ghosts etc. Religion is an institutionalized hype, that has lasted for centuries. There is no after life but this life is real and that's what matters.

Very true and the next question is how come these churches and their teachings are not reflecting positively on their followers?
It's just dogmatic and face saving at it's best.
When are black people (Ghanaians)going to realise and accept that there's no secret power or magic coming from anywhere to redeem Ghana from the sufferings and chaos in the country except to amend our dubious ways and start having the country's wellbeing at heart?
Until then keep believing in impossibles foolishly.
Positive changes are happening everywhere except Ghana (Africa)where people live on dreams and wishful thinking.

I don't care about how people worship but many of them have become nuisance, especially when they have their all nights. They drum and shout on top of their voices that people find it difficult to preach. They quote the bible and make false interpretations some of which are meant to frighten congregation to pay more collection and tithes or you will not go to heaven but burn in Hell fire. That is shameful. If there is Hell fire, it such pastors who shall burn in them. The poor shall rather go to heaven.
I think there should be legislation to prevent some of these classrooms to be used as churches. Those who use them must be made to pay rent towards that. Those who pray by the roadsides using loudspeakers should be banned because what they do constitute noise pollution and a public nuisance.
All churches must be registered and be made to pay taxes.
The noise they make should not exceed a required decibel in residential areas.
Where they carry out all night session should be made not to sing and drum after 10 PM.
Churches who disobey these rules must be closed down. We are tired of them taking advantage of the gullible and disturbing our ears when we want to sleep after a day's hard work.

Until that Africans get away foreign religions and burn down all churches and mosque,Africa will ever remain confuse,corrupt and under developmment.Imagine how it would be if we spend all the wasteul hours on sunday and friday that we use for worshipping to work on some farms instead,Imagine if all the government appointees are even sworn in by our anceint Africa traditional believes before asumming office instead of bible and koran which has no efect on the people's corrupt attitudes.The creator knows best and it is in the wisdom of the creator that people live within the wonders of their enviroins and that is why some countries like Japan and China are developing.Look at some farmer with religious-slave-mentality praising the the God of israel or calling Allahu Akbar in his cocoa or cassava farm in Kasapee or Damango intead of to praising the wonders of nature surrounding or found within his enviroins which the missionaries have termed as gods or Abosom;meanwhile the language and the message don't even corresponds since we also neeed to communicate with the creator with our mother tongues.No wonder we pray too much and no answer except coincedentally and the pastors take credit of it.Can some one tell me the difference between the Black box in mecca and the moslem Tasabia,the Roman crosses and their rosary and that of theaditional shrines and bansere?Lol!

Just a word or two to support the former President comment. It is high time we as a Country ask ourselves if at all the Churches especially the numerous new creations are contributing anything to the growth of this Nation. Apart from causing hardship to the already poor who thinks manner will come from the Pastors. The noise is deafing but people in this areas are afread to point out only to sit up to listen to these noise. Ghana will be a better Nation without most of these Churches so we need to wake up

THEY ARE NOT CHURCHES. THEY ARE TOOLS USED TO ROB INNOCENT AND IGNORANT GHANAIANS, ESPECIALLY, WOMEN. AND FOR FORNICATION AND ADULTERY. THE GOV'T HAS TO STAND UP AND SHUT MOST OF THESE SO-CALLED CHURCHES DOWN. FROM WHAT I SEE, IT APPEARS NO WING OF THE GOV'T OR GOV'T OFFICIALS WANT 'TO BELL THE CAT.' THE GOV'T DOES NOT WANT TO BE SEEN AS 'THE BAD GUY.' THE GHANA GOV'T HAS TO STAND UP ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE AND SAVE THEM FROM EXPLOITATION BY THESE CROOK-PASTORS.

We have too many fake churches with fake pastors. 95% of the churches are commercial churches, they are there for business. I don't blame them because the so call Christians are sooo lazy that, they don't read their BIBLE and find it difficult to even pray for the HOLY SPIRIT to guide them. For lack of knowledge my people perish. That is what is happening now, many people are perishing. The fake pastors are increasing everyday.

More than 10,000 churches is better than 10,000 mosques who will one day turn the country into an Islamic state

Why complain now? It was rumoured that jj was going to stop all those using God's name to gain riches, he was also going to sweep aside the 'king/queen' nonsense. Ghana would have developed by now if you were 'man' enough, but you failed because you are a coward.

i agree with the biblical prophecy 'go ye therefore into the world and preach the Gospel. It's quiet clear that a lot of pastors in Ghana these days are not called by God.i don't want to mention names.tune in to our radio stations you will find out that preaching of repentance is completely absent.worshipers are interested in riches,prosperity,miracles and 'your mother is a witch' etc.papa J is not condemning churches but he believes there should be sanity.

Examining the content of the article, it is clear the writer is pushing for a rage against the church.
The only faith movement that receives attacks and critical scrutiny is Christianity. Find better things to do with your pen than to write baseless articles
