Do People Really Choose To Remain Slaves? by Nobody: 2:38pm On Feb 02, 2013
Goodness knows that I have tried and tried to explain why Nairalanders should think about these religions that are racist and enslaving to them. How a black man can accept religions that have been used to put their ancestors in chains and demeans them is beyond me.

I have used reason and evidence tirelessly and I am at my wits end. What have I or any other atheist not done? We have shown that morality is not from God rather based on evolution and reason. We have shown that the bible and quran support slavery. We have shown that christianity and islam came to Nigeria through slavery. We have shown that both christianity is a Jewish religion and Islam is an Arab religion. We have shown that religious people are not in any shape better than non religious people.


I am not saying anyone should just leave their religion like that but at least, reason out your religion. Think about it. I am still very surprised that after ayear with atheists some people still repeat the same failed dogma in their religion- even dogmas that their own religions have moved past. Take for instance, evolution many christians have moved past their fear of evolution but no, the African american churches and my Nigerian christians remain at the bottom of the pile in accepting evolution. Must be a coincidence that these two groups suffer from illiteracy.

Yep.. And all i 'saw' was a failed attempt in making yourself sound like an almighty.

Dr. Gregory House said “If you could
reason with religious people , there
would be no religious people.”

People are not reasoned into religion. It's almost impossible to reason them out of it.

Just keep presenting your facts, logic and reason. The seeds will germinate one day. That, I am sure of.

In my own case, I started questioning my religion about 5 years ago. But I didn't drop religion till around last year. Thanks to Avicenna and his epic thread about giving up on religion and God.

So don't get tired. The seeds will germinate. Slowly but SURELY.

Can you explain how you are not a slave to this foriegn religion of christainity? Why do you accept this Jewish pagan religion? Why you accept a religion that was clearly in favour of the enslavement of your fellow Nigerians?

Agreed

It creates a paradox- how do you tell a mad man that he is mad? cheesy



The sickening thing about religions is that it is a virus that tells a victim that it is not a virus but a cure.

Now that needs serious inception to undo-

it doesn't matter how religion came to africa.what matters to me is the undeniable infallible conviction i have about my Religion.No human is perfect,But i perfectly believe the Quran is not a work of conjecture.our ancestors were whisked away for financial gains,you know that too well.in as much as people hide under the guise of religion to perpetrate heinous acts does not give you the justification to label sincere adherents Ignorant.
its a fact i cant make God appear to you or other Atheist,but its also a fact that the (bible and Quran) contains works that are beyond human composition,even atheist attest to this facts.The Quran is one book that gives me relief,succour.

Lol...calling me a hypocrite coz you're one is dayum funny. Nobody is enslaved unless they choose. I know am not a slave.

A slave who doesn't know he is a slave.

If you are not a slave, you wont dedicate a particular day of the week to go worshiping your master and get raped repeatedly off your hard earned money by his pastors

Wow...I became an atheist before I even knew who Dawkins was. I wonder how many atheists in Japan even know who Dawkins is. Fallacy of equivocation Dawkins = atheism.


As for you, you know deep down that you are a slave. The next time you go to church, look at the Jesus on the cross and ask why your church has a white European Jesus when we know that Jesus likely had dark skin.

Furthermore ask yourself why you follow this Jewish pagan religion. Ask yourself why A smart God would choose some barbaric middle eastern people rather than the chinese who were more civilized at the time. Also ask yourself why your God is true and others false. Ask yourself


. I can not follow a god or religion that has no evidence for its claims. You are the slave.

Japan is a capitalist country.

Communism is a great idea that has many practical problems. Why would I have to deny communism? Did I accept them or associate with them in the first place.

Unfortunately for you, you belong to a denomination of christianity that does have pictures in their churches.



As for your claims of racism, you are very STOOPID. Foolish.

1) Middle eastern is not a race
2) The middle easterners were as barbaric as most of the rest of the world at biblical times
3) I called them barbaric because they were barbaric with stonings and crucifixions and not because they were middle easterners.



YOU ARE AN IGNORANT SLAVE. I AM HAPPY TO SERVE YOU SOME HARD, UNAPOLOGETIC FREEDOM AND COMMON SENSE. THANK YOU!

The whole video where your guy is talking about the greatness of Quranic Arabic. How foolish. I am not an Arab slave like you. If your God truly exists and is all powerful, you really think that he speaks one langauge (Arabic)?



Or if your Allah had any sense, his words would have easily been sent around in many languages. But no, we are left with some archaic form of Arabic in which the Quran can only be reasonably understood. If anyone has a problem with the Quran, they are told to try to understand Arabic or meet someone versed in the Quran and Arabic. Reeks of Arab slavery to me.

When it is time, you will soon go and face the Arab land of Mecca 5 times a day like an Arab slave. The same Arabs that spread islam by conquering your African ancestors and enslaving many of them.

Whether Arabic,chinese or swahili,can u disprove any of his facts?lol
The quran was revealed to muhammad,to convey to the world.nuhammad practically understood Arabic better.

lol, you're probably thinking about China....@LB the biggest barrier in the average Nigerian christian (tbf, its a problem with the average religious Nigerian and non religious) is the lack of awareness of the world and what is going on in it. The other day, i tried educating a friend on the possible advantages of nano techology, at first he looked lost, then he just outrightly dismissed nano technology as fantasy and that humans were trying to play god.

There is another dimension to that also. I showed my friend that many atheistic countries have better life and health statistics than religious ones. I showed him the peace index and human development index.
