Thanks.
Well, I have not given up yet and I don't intend to. I hate unfinished projects. I must convince at least one atheist on Nairaland; there are still some who have hope. Some I would rather ignore. I don't think that bizarre experience comes to everyone; some dose of good talking, some hope and some prayers are my only alternatives.

If you are determined to carry on, my advise will be to try and train your sights on the most reasonable and sincere ones. Mazaje comes to mind. Perhaps one or two others. The rest are a complete waste of time, and this includes many useless theists too. So before wasting your time, try to first separate the wheat from the chaff.

Uyi has turned out to be the most schizophrenic of all the goddists on NL.

One can see that this poor fellow is clearly mired in great portracted conflicts with his mind,... and it's hard to say which side is winning at any given time.

His only hope is that he is young and might find himself someday.

That you take this this pitifully tangled mind seriously, perhaps as your young acolyte, bespeaks much about your own mind, O' eloquent sire. cheesy

When you create an entire universe with words alone, I can see how one can easily get lost in that tangled web of words.

@op, I think we are very gradually shedding ties to these imported religions. There are signs of deeper thinking among many of our people, as the years and effects of islamic invasions, and later western colonization, fade into distant memory. I give it another 20 - 30 years and we will surely see a genuine revival in indigenous religion and philosophy.

From what is on ground, It's probably going to take more that 30yrs unless we take a very drastic spiritual mass reorientation which more people will definitely fight against than fight for.

Traditional religons wiill NEVER make a significant come-back in Nigeria. That ship has long sailed when our ancestors naively gobbled up foreign religions roots and all. In the South East where I'm from, they're much more likely to destroy shrines than to erect them. Only in the SW, of the major groups, is there a significant but still small proportion of those with a consciousness of their religious roots. It's not like a China or India who never abandoned their roots the way we did.
