So, my thread has been derailed to a point of no return? Well, all is not lost- at least, the thread was graced by our esteemed Ishilove. Who am I to stand in the way of love? |

God could well exist as the explanation to "existence" (eg deism), but to jump from that to Christianity requires a leap of faith. Faith by definition does not have a solid foundation. Its only backup is a book. So it is normal that your faith will be challenged if you have an open mind. Your faith is immovable only if you close your mind. So do you want to be challenged or do you want to stay within the confines of your religious indoctrination. I think you should embrace the challenge and keep thinking critically. Eventually you will overcome the challenge and find peace of mind. Either by leaving your religion to a freethinking one where not having all the answers is ok (ie one which is not governed by a holy book) or by being locked tighter in Christianity. Obviously, my wish for you is the former. |

Redlyn: I see. So you list your faith? I don't think I can ever become an atheist |
Re: Has Your Faith In God Or Religion Ever Been Seriously Challenged? by Redlyn: 9:11pm On Jan 03, 2015 |
AllNaijaBlogger: Yeah not asking you to become an atheist There are many positions between "God does not exist" and "God sent his only son to save you from yourself". There is a theological position which says: "I dont know for sure if God exists or not. I believe he does but his ways remain a mystery". Some form of agnostic theism. You have to find your comfort zone for yourself. |
Re: Has Your Faith In God Or Religion Ever Been Seriously Challenged? by AllNaijaBlogger(m): 12:10pm On Jan 05, 2015 |
Redlyn: Okay but are you saying that you are an agnostic theist? |
Re: Has Your Faith In God Or Religion Ever Been Seriously Challenged? by Redlyn: 3:17pm On Jan 05, 2015 |
AllNaijaBlogger: No way. My belief is complex. I would precisely call myself an agnostic atheist and a secular humanist. Basically I dont believe in a god (atheist) but I dont think that right now there is enough evidence to be 100% sure either way (agnostic) and believe that humans have the capability and the responsibility to live moral lives without depending on a god (secular humanist). |
Re: Has Your Faith In God Or Religion Ever Been Seriously Challenged? by AllNaijaBlogger(m): 9:01pm On Jan 05, 2015 |
Redlyn: Sounds complex enough. How do you explain such to a pastor? When I was questioning my beliefs, there was this my pastor friend who was already assigning spiritual madness to me. Just for questioning. It was a mix of listening to a christian scientist and some soul searching that solidified my faith in God |
Re: Has Your Faith In God Or Religion Ever Been Seriously Challenged? by Redlyn: 3:34pm On Jan 06, 2015 |
AllNaijaBlogger: Would never try to explain that to a pastor unless I was deliberately looking for a long boring lecture. So what kind of Christian are you? Any particular denomination? I was raised catholic before backsliding to a point of no return. |
Re: Has Your Faith In God Or Religion Ever Been Seriously Challenged? by AllNaijaBlogger(m): 7:31pm On Jan 06, 2015 |
Redlyn: Baptist. |

elantraceey:So, ehn, do i still have a chance? |
Re: Has Your Faith In God Or Religion Ever Been Seriously Challenged? by Nobody: 6:50pm On Aug 29, 2015 |
AllNaijaBlogger:Lol. I trolled hard. Most epic was fighting alongside logicboy againts one of ishilove's numerous bans. Good times.. |

sonOfLucifer: So fukkin true. I find Muslims more commendable because they don't just talk the talk. A Muslim is so convinced that Allah is almighty God, to the extent where he doesn't mind blowing himself up to go join him. It's the kind of faith that Abraham had before he almost murdered his only child. Christians are fake. Islam is rubbish too, but at least they believe in their own rubbish. |
Re: Has Your Faith In God Or Religion Ever Been Seriously Challenged? by AllNaijaBlogger(m): 9:08am On Sep 03, 2015 |
Weah96: I could say atheists are fake too. A guy called folykaze has been touting that you atheists ran away from his juju power despite the fact that you guys say you don't believe in it. There are many Christians with differing levels of faith. Some work with lepers because of their faith, some do charity in hostile places like iraq, some preach with venomous snakes etc. |
Re: Has Your Faith In God Or Religion Ever Been Seriously Challenged? by Weah96: 10:22am On Sep 03, 2015 |
AllNaijaBlogger: According to Folykaze, I'm not an atheist. No one is. Do you see the dilemma? |

Ishilove:From behind just so happens to be sonOfLucifer's favourite position. |
Re: Has Your Faith In God Or Religion Ever Been Seriously Challenged? by FOLYKAZE(m): 12:22pm On Sep 03, 2015 |
Weah96: You are hateist. On the contrary, you are anti-theist |
