Towards Uniting Theist And Atheist by tobechi74: 4:33pm On Feb 13, 2013
Literates and iliterates differ in their ability to read and write. Whites and black differ in their skin colour.yet, they all work together.


Theist and atheist differ in their belief in God, but they find it hard to work together. They would rather find reasons to argue, debate in order to prove that each is right. At times, insulting and calling each other names


arent we tired of arguing, debating, fighting?

Am a theist who believe in God and yet hold no grudge or anger against them. I think we are at liberty to belive what we want. Ur belief mustnt correspond with mine and i shoujdnt attack you for it.

I can see a goat and call it a hen. You can call the goat a cow. It doesnt matter. I mustnt force u to belive the goat is a hen.


My belief doesnt always reflect my action. An atheist can be gud,bad, evil. A theist can be good bad evil. An atheist may suport gay, abortion etc. A theist can do same.

Lets put our individual belief aside and work together.lets throw down our weapon and shake hands.
Re: Towards Uniting Theist And Atheist by MacDaddy01: 4:46pm On Feb 13, 2013
I was like you when I first became an atheist. But this is a pipe dream. Only secular christians (christians who dont believe in the supernatural/miracles/everything in the bible) can ally with atheists


The problem lies with your christian brothers and your bible.

The moment you accept psalm 14;1 as true, you cant unite with atheists.


How can you talk about uniting with atheists when you are not a secular christian and your bible says;


psalm14;1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.


2Corinthians 6;14
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?





So, are you a secular christian?

My advice, don't bother. This is a uniquely personal journey, which you can not and should not legislate for others or undertake on their behalf...

Re: Towards Uniting Theist And Atheist by ooman(m): 11:42pm On Feb 13, 2013
about science and nature -NEVER will I agree with xtians(muslims are out of question)

about building africa -MAYBE (but not always, its for africa and when that is done, bye to xtians)
Re: Towards Uniting Theist And Atheist by alexleo(m): 11:45pm On Feb 13, 2013
I cannot in this life agree with atheists. I will Never seek to unite with any of them except if it is the one that repents and come to Jesus. We are two parallel lines that can never meet as long as they are atheists. OP if you want to unite with them thats your business.
This post is irrelevant. Uniting with atheists has nothing to add in my account so i couldnt be bothered.
I have said it that the very day atheists starts agreeing with me, one of this two things might have happened- Its either i ve derailed in my faith in God( God forbid) or they have repented and bowed down to God.

you are a deranged psychopath, and an impaired sociopath.
Re: Towards Uniting Theist And Atheist by Nobody: 12:09am On Feb 14, 2013
Good evening Tobe,

I agree with you to the extent that a Theist and an Atheist can work together. Difference in beliefs does not imply a lack of the ability to do things in common.

Atheists, Christians, Muslims, Agnostics, Pagans etc have been known to work together. It is not just practical for this not to take place.

I have had teams where everyone had a separate belief. After arguing over lunch, we go back together to work as a team. It's just like saying because Ahmed Musa is Muslim then Emenike should not pass the ball to him when he has the better scoring chance.

Disagreement is normal, even Christians disagree over a number of things, what matters is that people diagree as friends and not as enemies.


Thank you!

Thank you!

.....and they all lived happily ever after!


I also wish that to be true but christianity breeds both positive spirituality and fundamentalism. So you have the extremist christians on one side and the good christians on the other.


So, Atheists can get along with secular christians just fine but for fundamentalist- which majority of Nigerian christians are, impossible!

If Christians really want nothing to do with atheist/agnostics, they should immediately stop using nairaland (owned by an atheist) stop using windows OS (created by an agnostic) and stop using Facebook (owned by an atheist)

The bible said it waz foolish to think there is no God.
However, the bible dint ask us to call them fools. IF YOU CALL UR BROTHER A FOOL FOR NO CAUSE, U ARE GUILTY...

The bible recognises atheist, diviners, prostitutes, and body who doesnt do Gods wil as SINNERS.

The bible hasnt asked the righteous to isolate them. Even Jesus ate with tax collector. He didnt condem the prostitute

mumumugu: but you can shake hands with an atheist

yesofcourse. atheists dont force us to convert to their disbelief. neither do they talk senseless things. neither do they strive to destroy our cultures, hold our nations backward, extort money in the name of religion/irreligion,etc.

they focus only upon the material realm and they do it rightly. xtians on the other hand, try to poke their nose in both areas and end up messing everything up.

for, e.g., what does laws on gays got to do with spirituality?

And you too stop using things produced by christians. And of course you know that if christians pull out from nairaland, seun's business will nose dive into obsurity. If nairaland is owned by you would you advice your largest customers to leave? selfish thinker.

Good morning LB,

He can only defend that when he does not know how to interpret and apply sacred scriptures. It seems to me that he is driven by emotions.
