Avraham Ben Moshe, the leader of Common Sense Family, claims that most Ghanaians are still poor due to the concept of religion.
According to him, religion has instilled in Christians the mentality of not pursuing worldly goods in this life, and as a result, they would rather suffer on earth than enjoy paradise, but this should not be the case.
Christians have become accustomed to being penniless, he claims, since they believe they will have a better fate than earth after they die.
Avraham Ben Moshe said in an interview with Rev. Nyansa Boakwa on Happy 98.9FM’s,
Avraham Ben Moshe said, “They’ve been made to understand that it is useless working and making money to enjoy in the world because someday, it will be destroyed and they will die leaving everything they were working so hard for so, they should rather focus on making it to heaven where they will be eternally rewarded”.
‘this type of thinking is also obvious in the sort of roads we construct’.
“We create our roadways as the world will be ending in 3 days and that we are anticipating the second coming of Christ so they may travel with him to enjoy in paradise as they’ve been told” he added.
Avraham underlined that, this mentality is making most Christians comfortable living with poverty, adding that ‘until it is altered, we will continue being poor as a country’.
“The whites keep progressing while we keep retrogressing. Until when shall we continue to live like this? They keep becoming inventive daily while we’re stationary waiting for the return of Christ. We need to modify our mindset” he suggested.
