Why I no longer believe in God — Kemi Badenoch

UK Conservative Party Leader, Kemi Badenoch




Leader of the United Kingdom (UK) Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, has disclosed that she has stop believing in God.

The controversial politician made this known recently while featuring on a podcast hosted by Free Press editor, Bari Weiss.

Kemi Badenoch, however, clarified that she is not an “atheist”, adding that she identifies as “agnostic”.

While opening up about her faith, she emphasised that she is now a “cultural Christian.”

Badenoch said, “I don’t believe in God anymore. But I am not an atheist, I am agnostic. I used to believe in God very much but now I describe myself as a cultural Christian.

“I don’t think it matters if people believe in God or not. What matters is what they do with the belief or the lack of it.”

Recall that Badenoch accused the Nigeria Police of robbing citizens instead of protecting them.

Asked her if she trusted the UK police, she responded: “I do. My experience with the Nigeria Police was very negative. Coming to the UK, my experience with the British Police was very positive.

“The police in Nigeria will rob us (laughter). When people say I have this bad experience with the police because I’m black, I say well…I remember the police stole my brother’s shoe and his watch.” (Sunday Vanguard: Text, Excluding Headline)

I want to remind him of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon who ate grass for 7 months in the forest and king Herod who was eaten up by worms. She is free to believe whatever she wants to believe and boast about it. Time shall tell. There is nothing she has

If you believed in God at some point, what exactly made you change your mind? Is your reason based on anything God has done or did your environment and exposure influence your relationship with God?

What a pity! I pray you will not die in this condition... It is written: "What will it profit a man (or a woman) if he (or she) gains the whole world (becomes UK PM) and loses his (her) soul???" "What will you give in exchange for your soul???" It

Kemi, one day, you will come face-to-face with the ALMIGHTY GOD, THE CREATOR, except HE is not the GOD I know. Your background makes you ignore where you came from.

Many had tried God as you're doing now, but how did they end their lives like Pharaoh, King Nebuchadnezzar,etc. Their end were disastrous. Pride the bible says goes before destruction, you better humble yourself before God if not, you'll be begging like King Nebuchadnezzar and exalt God yourself that

Some of you won't check the meaning of a word before you ooze out the odorous statement. She said she is an agnostic and the meaning is simple, trying to know the nature of God or non bekiev in His existence. If you look at what your pastors and leaders
