Musician Kwame Asare Obeng popularly known in showbiz as A Plus has descended heavily on churches for devising techniques to take money from their ignorant members through unfair means.
He said churches in the country have become money making ventures where Pastors “deceive” their followers and congregants in order to receive monies from them.
A Plus could not understand why church members will pay their tithe and the same money will be used to establish Universities but will be disallowed from writing exams in these same institutions when they are unable to pay their school fees.
“99% of the churches you see around are just a money making venture. ICGC, Action Chapel etc know the mindset of the elite/literate and have come up with strategies to take from them. Obinim goes for the masses…. mostly illiterates. The common purpose is to take money from people.
“That is why you pay your tithe, the church uses it to build a university but you are not allowed to write exams for non payment of fees and you still pay tithe hoping that God will give you money to pay fees. You are fooling yourself my friend!!!,”A Plus posted on Facebook.
The contentious Ghanaian strategic communicator intensively boiled with anger over a recent published article that claimed he does not believe in the existence of God.
In giving clarity to his beliefs and disbelieves, the NPP sympathizer indicated that he believes in the existence of God who created man but is a bone of contention has to do with religion.
In a lengthy post on Facebook, he said “My notice has been drawn to a publication about some Ghanaians who don’t believe in God which includes me. How? Let me make this very clear. Not being religious is totally different from not believing in God. People have created their own fake Adam and Eve and snake story around God to manipulate people and take their money
“You choose what to believe, I respect that. This is A free world. Just believe. As for me, I am not religious. Religion to me is the worse thing that happened to the world but There is A God!!!.”

@ kk & p Well said. A Plus, if I were you I wouldn't go that route. Leave God alone to judge his servants. And you can continue your consumer-focus activities.
Religion to me is the worse thing that happened to the world BAM!
@kk; God bless u.
My friend I bare you no grudge with your stand....but it will be fair to appreciate the fact that, tithe was for a purpose which is the christian's duty depending on where you stand. This comes with its attached blessings. Unfortunately, this has been misconstrued or diluted over time. The was purposely to take care of workers who have dedicated their lives to work solely for the house of faith. Secondly, this was also to ensure there is food always in the house of God.... so that those who do not have or cannot afford to provide for themselves can find or be taken care off. These were the main reasons for tithing. But as P said, a few lumps in the fufu and soup have diluted this basic principle. A-Plus......do not classify anybody as "fulling of oneself" but it is my duty to live by the tenets of the faith that I profess so I will not be found wanting one day when I am called upon to give an account of what I did here on earth (Judgement, if you believe that anyway)........ whoever I make good or pay my tithe to will be expected to account for what he or she used the tithe for!!! ........ "the word of the cross, is fulishness to the world". It will be very wise to live those who are religious alone and concentrate on your believe!!!
Waka Waka, 2 Timothy 1:7, ignorance, woomaam y3 babies, wopapa y3 criminals, I need money to reverse curses on you, oh pressure raisers, they should be jailed for spreading falsehood
My advice to everyone reading is that " it will be sad to reject Jesus and die to find out that He lives. A plus, i like u man, but my question is, what happens when u are eating a bowl of fufu and u come across a few lumps in it? Do u throw everything away or u get those lumps out as u enjoy ur meal? The same Jesus u and the lots are rejecting warned us of false prophets who will come in His name. He also told us to be wise as the serpent. The fact that u find a few pastors to be corrupt doesnt mean everything abt christianity is a hoax. So pls, if u guys are confused with the teachings of the illuminati, free masons, Hinduism and what have u, dont pollute the minds of those who are ready to serve God and His Son Jesus Christ. Thanks
A Plus I support your stand on the existence of God and creation of Religion to deceive people all in the name of Jesus Christ the Messiah. Elsewhere in Europe, people don't have time for these so called pastors who milk their pockets with payment of tithe from its members. There are two things that have failed the entire continent call Africa and these are Democracy and Christianity. Africa will remain as it is unless the way Christianity is delivered is changed. These pastors live in plush homes, their children attend ivy schools whilst their member lives in abject poverty and yet will contribute to the Church growth. What wrong has the black race done to deserve this backward thinking. A Plus, I salute you on this one, keep the fire burning.
3noaaaaa no no. Religion is man made to deceive the poor with cock and bull stories. But as for Otwedeampon de3 he is der fiili gadoochi.
