ifeness:

Besides a lot of brainwash was done at school. Apart from going to religious Sunday schools, christian/ islamic religious knowledge are being taught at school from a very little age. Such a person will grow up to be an educated mentally derailed fellow who have been severely abused with the constant threats of hell fire.

rudedough:

Your types are the Christians who will advocate for a new thread, and later run away when you realize that an Atheist know a lot more than you do about your bible and religion.

Have you read your bible thoroughly? I don't mean memorizing bible verses, i mean reading your bible thoroughly before you engage an Atheist in a religious debate?

Uyi Iredia:

Don't you think men have found peace and meaning in life millennia before Jesus came ? And what makes u sure or religion is true above others ?

Babymumsy: An antichrist thread....what am I doing here?

rudedough: Your mum must be a gentle woman, she was pleading with you After my mum discovered i was an Atheist, i was still in bed one good morning when some men came into my room. Mehn come see prayer, casting out devil from who dey sleep... The Pastor just poured heavy "OIL" on my head... i come go vex oo, na there the prayer come worse.. Even my mum was at the corner, shouting "Holy Ghost Fire".

Man in case they bring those Prayer warriors to your house, i beg you, don't ever show any sign of aggression... Just relax and let them do their prayer and leave jeje, or else... Someone's gonna get hurt...

peterphd:

If atheism is a religion then abstinence is a se.xual position.

Ishilove: I wish I could see the op's mum to speak with her one to one. I would tell her to leave her son be because we war not with the flesh. She should go back to God who gave her that son and ask Him to reveal Himself to the boy. Just one experience with the God that he has rejected and his life will be changed forever.

Op, tell your mum to that she should continue to pray for you and if her God is real, He will reveal Himself. As for you, one day, when you feel inclined to, just casually address the air around you. Say from the depth of your heart: "If you are real Yahweh, show yourself." And leave it that.

You are in for a surprise. It won't be instantaneous, but it will come when you least expect it.

Erelu_Y: @ incrediblestev: Sad but true. This reminds me of an ex-Roman Catholic priest who after ditching his faith and vocation decided to go down the route of lecturing in the university. This guy, who received his MPhil from Cambridge and DPhil from Oxford, couldn't get lecturing jobs in Nigerian religious studies departments because he was considered an apostate. When he finally got a job offer in one university where he wasn't previously known, he had to throw in the towel in the end because he simply couldn't tow their crooked, uncultured, intellectually impotent paths. He left Nigeria in the end and is now an Assistant Professor of Religious Studies in the US. What an absolute SHAME! Nigeria is irredeemably lost.

Okija_juju:


Well...


People need God to explain the the that are beyond their comprehension and that they are too lazy to investigate..

I may not be the type to say their is no God, but all I can say is that if he indeed exists, I have not seen a darn thing he has done..

Babymumsy: An antichrist thread....what am I doing here?

oluafolabi:
LOL.
NL must be an antichrist website too

jewel4Hiscrown:

1. The fact that you love your mom (and are this concerned about her) proves that there is a God. Think about it.

DJDOLA: U can never see a muslim become an atheist..but see a good christian dat will turn 2 atheist

Ishilove:
Lol. The bolded is the reason why I will NEVER date or marry an atheist.

Like the late obadiah777 will say: "I aint getting nuked for no gaddem heathen" lwkmd

muhamm3d: Am nt trying to b critical here bt i actually dd alot of research b4 i stayed a muslim...wen i read d bible i saw dt dere were too many confusions really. Jesus died on d cross and rose after 3days to were. How dd he fly? Wings or broom? Another fin is he died fr my sins how com if i do bad i stil get to enter hell fire? Another fin is hw com wen he ws on d cross he prayed to God and asked him y h hs forsaken him? If he ws lord who ws he ptaying to himself? Christmas is nt in d bible how com all xtians celeb crismas? Jesus never said anywhr in d bible dt he ws d lord God and wen he goes pray to me! He nver said, hw com xtians refer to him as d lord? Jesus is Gods son? Who is Gods wife? Or dd he just appear? U see too many unxplainable fins.... dere are too mny magics in d bible pls i cnt comprehend. Bt wen i read d quran it sounds real and everyday wen i do dat i thank God fr atlist trying it out. Muhammed(s.a.w) ws concieved and he ws born just lik a nomal person. Nobody worships him we worship Allah, hes just human and nofin seems lik outta d ordinary,he married and had children jus lik u and i...as per d many wives he ws actually just shelterin most of ds women were just sheltered by him and nt dt dey hv kids fr him contrary to popular beliefs. Due to d war den most of ds women lost deir husbnds and kids and bcame homless so he housed dem...its jus lik dangote saying he wnts to house all d widows in sudan does dt mean he wnts to sleep with all of dem? I cn relate wth dat cs its actually wt i can do. As per op am nt gonna ever say u shd chnge to muslim or xtian or pagan or stay ath, i wil jst ask u to pick a copy of d quran just read it azin jus read dnt read cs u wana chnge to islam just read it lik u wana evn knw wt dey shout about and see. As fr me wd hv said dere is no God or Allah too bt hw com wen i ask him fr wt i want he gves me almost imediately. Dt means hes dere now abi or if its d power of universe hw com wen i dnt ask it doesnt happn? And fr d freethinkers on nairaland y spend so much tim trying to convinc dt dere is no God do u knw by doin dt dt mkes it a religion? U shouldnt try cajole any1 dt he shd stay unbelievin cos dt doesnt mk u better dn d xtians and muslims cos we all trying to convince each other fr wat we believe in.

muscar: Hmm How funny a world. Some people are christains by name, some others by birth and some by influence. To be candid, an alarming amount of people that go to church are not christains, some don't even know they are not,for all they know they were born into a christain family and had to follow the footsteps of their parents.

You will ALWAYS get nothing out of nothing.

Religion is a personal thing. If you as a person have not felt that 'feeling', the kind that comes from internal revelation and stability,then my dear you, whether you are a regular church-goer, pastor or a chior mistress...

You are not yet a christain. You never were.

You are just a follower of a religious society not a follower of christ.

Op, the choice you have made,I respect it as every other religious groups.

Open your mind,soul and body and try to be born-again for your own self, But if you still choose to remain who you are...

Who am I to judge you? A nobody.

Though tough,try to sit and have a heart to heart conversation with Mom. It is just one of a scared mother's empty threats...she for one knows what the bible says about commiting suicide.


...And lastly, as for people asking for a physical picture or a video clip of a 'living God', I am sorry that I have none to present other than myself, for I am a Living proof of a living God.

Mazi_Omenuko:



Would luv to try that new position out

Legit: 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

If u r not OK with d Bible and it inconsistencies, then try Islam and read d Quran (with English translation), u will find out it makes more sense!- my personal opinion since am a Muslim.

mazaje:

I always prefer christains than muslims when it comes to this. . .My family had to leave in the dead of the night when my mum converted us back to christianity after my dad died. . .A muslim father will happily kill his son for becoming an atheist. . .Muslims see atheist less than animals. . .islam is a very dangerous religion when it comes to such issues. . .
