I dont think angry is the correct word, bro....itz 'pity' d fellow.
talking from experience, i pity whoever think/blv there is no God.
how can u watch the intelligent design of the earth and all itz skies, the plants and man and still think there is no intelligent brain(God) behind all that...'a fool say to themselves, there is no God' psalm 14:1...

Very good question whenever I call Nigeria on a Sunday am always asked the question "Did you go to Church today?" Whenever I say no or give them an excuse for not going to Church the tone in the person's voice changes. "Why didn't you go to church? You have monday to saturday for yourself. Sunday is the day you suppose to thank God for keeping you alive" The thing tire me sad

My brother I really wonder why. I have a friend whose father happened to be a pastor. This my friend told me that there was a day his father threatened to kill him if he dared not go to church or express any form of disbelief in Christ.

I myself have been lambasted in public for showing some scepticism about Christian beliefs. Its very difficult being yourself in this our society.

'cause...uh...'cause, 'cause it's pure insanity for one 2 think there's no God. I won't call it anger just like a poster said up there, more like pity. You must be mentally derange 2 think there's no God.

Well, it's normal to be scared of what you do not understand. To some, their "idea" of God is the very foundation on which they base their life. They view all morality relative to his word/laws.

To tell one you do not accept this ''idea'' especially in a country where to be religious is the norm(like corruption) is to strike that very foundation. And most Nigerians really do not know what/who they worship. They've never put much thought into it, just like we do with almost everything else.

"You don't believe in God? So who protects you from sms texting demons and the evils that fly at night? What do you pray to? Are you a Satanist? How do you survive? So you don't believe in Jesus?""

Just as their God is a jealous and vindictive one(for the Abrahamic religions), they begin to despise and hate everything about you. Even when you do good, they'd say it's the devil's way of tempting people. They hate you because they fear you may be right. That will collapse their whole world view.

Why would you pity us? What exactly are we missing out on by not believing in God or a skydaddy? Is there some kind of slumber party for the believers that we aren't privileged to attend? grin

O, so much dirty words from a "holy mouth"..

Most of us are ex-christians, we know more about Christianity than Islam or other religions. But it's not just Christianity we attack. Check nairaland threads very well, we attack Islam too.

You can continue hating and cursing now.. I bet your yahweh will be proud of you fighting his battles dirty for him.. Lol

We are not obsessed with christianity. We bash all religions. Islam on nairaland is quarantined so what do you expect? I can boldly tell you islam must have also been attacked the same way we attack christianity when they still shared the same general religious section.

Frustration?

Where did you get that from?
Most atheists are living better lives than most of you religious folks who are either busing praying everyday against imaginary demons of anti-success and commanding your imaginary enemies to fall down and die, but unfortunately those imaginary demons keep resurrecting and tormenting you people. Lol.

We are free from those mind games being played on religious minds.

So where is frustration you're talking about?

That's cos like someone told you, we are mostly ex christians. You can't attack what you don't know.

Islam has a way of enslaving its adherents in fear that makes it very difficult to reject the faith.

Anytime I see a muslim who dumps islam, I doff my hat for him or her cos I know how difficult it is
