“There Is More Wickedness in the Church Than in Bars,” Says Pastor Moise Mbiye

HomePeopleReligion"There Is More Wickedness in the Church Than in Bars," Says Pastor Moise Mbiye

Pastor Moise Mbiye has sparked a major controversy by addressing the reality of human relationships within religious communities.

In a recent media appearance, the man of God did not hesitate to state: “There is more wickedness in the church than in bars. In a bar, someone will easily share their beer and cigarette with you, but in church, they might even refuse to lend you a pen to write down a Bible verse.”

This statement, widely circulated on social media, has been perceived by many as a harsh critique of the behaviors sometimes seen among believers. According to Pastor Mbiye, the church—meant to be a place of sharing, support, and brotherhood—seems paradoxically to have become an environment where individualism and a lack of empathy prevail.

“This observation profoundly challenges the true nature of the fraternal relationships that are supposed to exist within churches,” commented one social media user. Others agreed with the pastor, highlighting the urgent need for deep introspection within religious communities.

However, some religious leaders have responded by offering a more nuanced view. They argue that while such shortcomings do exist, it would be unfair to generalize or to suggest that bars are morally superior to places of worship.
