A former church minister has opened up about the two things she misses after stepping away from Christianity.
The Kano-born woman, known on TikTok as @thatbirkinbad, shared her experience of leaving the faith, stating that she no longer misses Christianity as a religion.
She explained that her Christian beliefs were strongly influenced by her pastor when she returned to Nigeria. However, over time, she embarked on a personal spiritual journey that led her away from Christianity.
Having read the Bible twice and preparing for a third reading, she ultimately lost her faith. Reflecting on her past, she admitted to missing two aspects of her Christian life: the concept of the “Christian God,” whom she once perceived as a powerful and judgmental figure, and the act of ministering to others, which she found deeply fulfilling.
“…I used to study the Bible for like 2, 3, 4 hours. I have read the Bible from scratch two times. As a matter of fact, I was in the middle of repeating the Bible again just before I lost my faith and I just couldn’t continue after that.”
“I went from seeing the Christian God as this big scary guy that was judging me all the time, and that is as a result of starting off in a fire fire church when I was young, to developing an inti.mate relationship with the Christian God and knowing him as father, as abaa. That is a more int.imate term for the Christian God…”.
