@OP you are not truly convinced of your belief...If you are truly an Atheist you will not be disturbed by the emotional tantrum of your Mum. A convinced Atheist would help his/her Mum to stop wasting her time in fairy tale of a friend in heaven..I went through similar situation after my conviction that god does not exist and up until now everyone including my Mum respects my non belief in a god and I have nothing against their belief in god.

adsonstone: @OP;

Of course I believe your mum has a reason for believing there's a God which she wants you to see and she's not 'deluded' as atheists see theists.

Since you have once been a theist and you did not see those reasons/find them worthy, I think you should not just pretend to be one because it is of no use and besides, it won't make a difference perhaps, it will make things worse in the long-run
.


@ other Atheists,
I think you haven't still understood the concept of a God who wasn't created but created all things.



P.S.
Atheists, Open a thread and invite me for a dialogue.
why don't you open a thread and explain the concept of god

Now I get your drift, eternal condemnation? how? where? You mean eternal condemnation to people that do not believe in that god of yours, I laugh you. Think about this; what if Mohammed, Budha or Krishna happen to be the right way to the almighty; alas, we will enjoy that eternal condemnation together, if it's real anyways.

Then quite bluntly your mother does not love you. If she did, she would respect your beliefs. You are willing to change for her but she is not willing to change for you. Can't you see she is using the tatic of making you feel guilty by inciting fear into you because she's insecure about her religion so she needs to convert you to reassure herself of her salvation?
My advice: tell her the day you go to god, you will go to an early grave as well. Tell her not to worry her salvation is already secure.
I beg you, stick to your belief. Religion has been the cause of many wars in this world.
smh... A woman that carried him for 9 whole months, took care of him at infant, fed him etc does not love him?

Its not about belief..

God alleged is the author of the bible.. And if his 'words' contradict itself, you shouldn't expect me to turn a blind eye..


Assuming God really created us, I'm sure he gave us out brains for a reason.

Your mom should have trained you in the way of Christ right from your child hood.


I've been listening to the message of Christ right from my mother's womb..

100Billion atheists and 100 Billion demons cannot change my decision to follow Christ. Blame/Thank my Parents smiley
It is not a myth..
Personally, I've discovered, experienced, lived and ate the gospel. smiley


All I have to tell you is to open your mind.. do not pretend to serve a God you do not know...


Sit down and ask God to reveal himself to you. smiley
Salvation is gotten by the effort of NO man, but the Holy Spirit.

Once again, open your mind and be neutral... Ask HIM (The creator of Heaven & Earth) for a real revelation. Ask him in your silent moment...







What you're about to Experience will shock you.

No wahala. Sebi we'll all die one day. You people think we christians don't know what we are talking about when we talk of this Jesus. He is the image of the invisible God.

Nice one solanke. Muslim's are busy wearing themselves out with long list of rules that lead to a dead end, instead of coming to grace & freedom.

How can you just believe in something that you dont understand nor makes sense to you..

Do you believe in the tooth fairy? Or Santa clause? Or the Easter bunny? If NO, then the next question is why? They are just as real as God, Thor, Hercules, e.t.c..


No disrespect intended..

And it's Sir to you not Boy.. Even the bible you believe in talks about respect..

Thank your god for you, you said it yourself, invisible god but I'll help you a little, it should have been imaginary god. Trust me my brother, you christians don't know what you are talking about. when you die you can't know where you will be, because you don't know where you were before you were born.

GeneralShepherd: Since I officially dumped the idea of a god, I haven't seen my parents. I went home this christmas,it was a wonderful holiday for me,little did I know my mum was hurting deep down inside!

She called me today being the 1st of January 2014 and started telling me how she asked Yahweh to give her a son after she had four girls(who are all married) which He did according to her. She told me how she has barely slept most nights in the pasy year because of my atheism. Also said it might lead her to her early grave if I continue living without god.

My dilemma is I can't pretend about god and the bible,yet I don't want my mum to die or have sleepless nights! When people read the bible the smile on face shows I don't believe any of it, when I try to pray I feel like I'm mad talking to myself or like a kid talking to Barney and friends!

How do I undo what has been done! How do I unknow what I know about god and religion? How do I ignore the inconsistencies?

I love my mum so much and will gladly become a sheeple for her to be happy

Organise religion is confusing and causing so many division, among families and ppl of the world. The truth is nobody knows the truth, we are all following our parents doctrine. There are many religion in the world, all of them claimed they are the right path, hence, we are ALL confused. I think we should follow our conscience as our guide, because no matter your religion, somebody will tell say you are on the wrong path. Atheism is an absolute that there's no god, they don't know either. The best and honest following is Agnostic, who believe that nobody know, they are on the fence per se, and that is the only honest assesment. So, follow your conscience and let your mom know, she cannot save you on the judgment day, if there's one. Everywo/man for him/her self. My 2cents
