Some are ignorant of the age we are into. This new age started from the year 2000. And it is call the AGE OF TRUTH. So in years ahead, i will be seeing many atheist, satanist etc given their life to christ . Blessings

Bless you my Good friend.
@op.
Nairaland does not strengthen my faith, ever since I had encounter with God , my faith was strengthen. The simple thing I learn is that Nigeria atheists are different from the rest of the world. they say God is a Nigeria and I say Satan too is a Nigeria. Nairaland atheists think people who have faith are stup*id because they believe in God but doesent really understand most thing behind science BUT believe in it anyway, what's the different ?

If you are as intelligent and intellectual
as you think you are you would see the
wisdom of being civil and polite. It would cost you nothing. People will actually listen to you. You would do more good to atheism if instead of saying, I don’t believe in unicorns, you talk to people and listen. Listen to why they have faith and then go on and speak your mind.
What's really funny is Only disbelief in God makes one that silly.

I've said this before in a thread I created, "what I've learn about atheism"
they use the terms "free thinker" a lot but that implies that have choice. In a universe where every succeeding action comes from a preceding event. there is no true free will, or choice. Choice within itself is an ILLUSION and is
only the result of molecular anarchy and natural processes.

Very funny thread ...

Its funnier how plaetton wins arguments with his relations and random people but never on Nairaland . cool

Atheists will believe anything as far as you are one of them

The urge for evidences to substantiate claims just disappears shocked

cc : Johnydon22 , kay17 , hahn , davien , frank317 etc I'm surprised no one asked him to prove these stories

Hei ! A christian is labelled a liar or seen as self-deluded if he tells this same story of miracles and atheists turning to Christ

Its obvious who the real gullible ones are cheesy

Bunch of hypocrites !

Am so sure i never commented on plaetton's story to assert the affirmative but somehow your wild imagination pulled a flimsy assertion based on your assumption out so you can rant...

If you can show me a post where i applauded plaetton's story or asserted i believe the story then i will take you serious but if you can't then its obvious

You sound very angry and frustrated.... why? Again you are comparing claims of supernatural and a day to day tale?...lol..

I think you have an issue with plaetton's story why don't you take it up with him.

You have once pulled out a link on an atheist woman that turned christian during one of our discussions, i never disputed the story i only pointed out millions of christians turn atheistic everyday.

For plaetton's story, i am not disputing it because he never claimed preternatural feat just like i didn't dispute yours... If he made a supernatural claim you would have seen me rubbish it outright but it was not.

If he had made a preternatural claim and no one disputed it then your rants would have been justified but obviously people actually may take you to be clowning around raising unnecessary rants... Sometimes some things are not just worth being discussed...After all i too had been to the seminary

Lmao ... Stop exaggerating . People are turning secular not atheistic . Even the Kardashians , Nicki Minaj and their likes go to church but they do what they do embarassed

. Belief , and belief and practice are just the same.

I was stating the obvious .... so tell me if a christian tells a story of how he turned many atheists he preached to , to Christians... will you believe it without questions . Be sincere undecided

Re: What Have You Learned From The Religion Section ? by Nobody: 1:30am On Jul 08, 2015

I enjoy making research, and this board helps me do so. It also gives me opportunity to preach, so as to save any life who wish to be saved.

God wants all to be saved, both those in Nairaland. But we do what we can, and live them to make there decisions.

The section has its setbacks, many may not agree on a point cause, they are shy how others will view them. That I ve observed. Private discussion might be best.

Many here too, may find it hard to know which side to believe cos of meager knowledge of the whole issue involved or cos of twist from one discussant.

Some too might follow a popular opinion or follow one whom he thinks command grammar. Not knowing that that does not mean that the writer is correct.

Many run from faith, and take a stand that require more faith.

Ubenedictus, emusan, pastorolut and more that I can't remember. I did for once had discussion I particularly enjoyed with them.

Some also benefit from our points even without we being aware. Biblespeaks, trugun, dolphinheart, are some of these. There is one guy called Scholar-something. I can't remember his handle. He made one interesting comment, i did enjoy.

My dad is a pastor and I was brought up in a deep religious deeper life kind of way. I always hated church and was always fascinated by atheistic comments. Yet I never thought I would ever doubt the existence of a creator.
[b]I am a deep thinker [/b]and a fiction writer... I thought religious stories would make nice interesting stories hence my stories always betrays this thought.
Religious section opened my eyes and paved the way for my thoughts. Here I meet intelligent atheist who are constructive in their way of talking and who actually make use of their brains.
I also met very few intelligent theists which is quite interesting.
Finally... Nigeria is a crazy country where even the well educated behave like adamant illiterate. Nairaland religious section is my escape from the stupidity of Nigerians who think just believing in God makes u perfect hence they wallow in ignorance and accept their sufferings while they die slowly. Here u find people who reason and actually make use of their brains which is a great relief from the delusion people around me swim in. Now I miss pple like crexx, logic boy, amanfrommars, etc. Well the new once are doing perfectly great too.
And ohhh.... Theist just help make me understand that a disbelieve in Gos makes perfect sense. How? Read such silly questions like...how are u sure God don't exist? Or how did u come to this world??

I learnt that atheists think their lack of religion makes them "deep thinkers".

Re: What Have You Learned From The Religion Section ? by Nobody: 1:56am On Jul 08, 2015

I learned a lot things in my years here and i will outline below:

1. that there really is nothing like a moderate muslim. the average muslim will kill you if he/she feels they can get away with it.

2. most nigerian atheists are stupendously ignorant about science... they merely use it as a crutch to justify their lack of religion.

3. Many who claim to be christian really are not convinced of what they believe... they are easily swayed by carefully packaged "arguments" that are basically just a mishmash of word salad in flowery language.

4. Nigerians mostly live on the extremes when it comes to religion - they are either extreme atheists or extreme christians... middle of the road pragmatic christianity is not allowed.

5. Extreme christians are a sight to behold... these ones have turned their churches and "papas" into mini god and will defend them to death.

You should learn not to take David seriously. He seems to be angry that the atheist are free from accepting the hogwash any mythical narrative he was indoctrinated to accept. He has said it himself long ago that christianity has nothing to do with reason or logic but just faith. It is the debates between davidylan and the muslims back in the days that made me start to think about (not question) the existence of God.

That's a wrong assertion. You have to become a free thinker, even while practising a religion, before you decide to ignore religion. Most atheists don't really see themselves as "atheists", that's only a word used to describe people who don't follow any religios system.

Its not as if one gets paid for claiming to be "atheists". Being a "free thinker" only implies that one chooses to think without any dogmatic bias
