MizMyColi: We can never lose the connection entirely but not all of us are profoundly connected. Even people who consciously aspire to staying deeply connected have a stronger or weaker connection on different days. Whatever the case may be, for me there is nothing more beautiful than this connection. There's no person we meet on Life's way that we didn't agree to meet before we came down here. Very true. The inner purpose, for me, is to stay deeply connected. From there everything is easy. I and him are one. If the blue statement is true - and I believe it is - then the green one must be true too. If you are him, you can only be light and love too. + You must first feel it. It feels really good. Sometimes, I blend into christian circles so well, that those who know me really well'd think I'm a hypocrite. Ireelevant what people say on the days when you feel deeply connected. I see my horizon expanding. This is why I love cherry-picking. I could go on and on, I'll stop here. Things can only get better. This is so true. |

MizMyColi: Your belief is actually confusing but I wanna know... Do you clearly deny being a christian? Do you believe the bible is the word of the god u believe in? From whence did you form your belief or opinion about the God u believe in? The bible? Not trying to judge but seriously your post sounds like someone who is losing faith but is struggling with her previous beliefs as a christian. You cant accept the fact that all what you know or all what u have always known is false. You are cherry picking from your first belief to a comfort zone where you tell yourself you are there but not there. 1 Like 1 Share |

menesheh: Am judging from the way you started the post by making jest of believes and then later switched by telling us how you love a creator. Read my next comment, it is just a contribution not meant to upset you. I'm sorry if you felt that your God or that of anyone else was being made jest of. I did not intend to jest at anyone. I made that position because 1. I'm a human being. I'm not God. I cannot say I've created anything before.... 2. This God told me that as he is, so am I. 3. I started out a very born again Christian. 4. If he kills and creates at will, and my bible told me that as he is, so am I...Why do I feel restraint when I want to harm someone either by using an object or my words. 5. Why can't I kill and feel like nothing happened. 6. Why do I desire to pursue peace with those whom I am very very sure hate me? 7. Why do I still have a heart to love those who have scarred me emotionally and psychologically. 8. Why do I find it easy to pray and speak God's light and blessings over those whom I'm told did Juju and worth nots for me? Why why why? Something is not adding up? Because, I find within me, as much as I want to do Good, there is also the urge to do bad? Does it mean that God is responsible for both feelings? Why does Good keep winning in the long run? Why does the urge to do bad keep fading at a geometrical rate? Why did Jesus talk about an enemy that comes to steal, kill and destroy? And why did he talk about himself coming to give life abundantly? Why did he call himself the way, the truth and the light? I apologise in advance to all who will feel offended at this statement.... Any God that Kills and Maims out of despicability is my devil. I don't know that God, I want nothing to do with such a God. The eternal being I know, the one who lives and reigns supreme within me has never ever made me think of him in that light. History must have gotten things screwed up somewhere. If it's what makes me an Atheist...No problem. my next question is, "which of the concepts of god are you into and why? I cannot say exactly. I believe I have a rapport with my creator...that's enough for me. |

frank317: let's say for once that I'm cherry picking... Isn't this my one life I have to live? Don't I have the inalienable right to feel good? To feel comfortable and at peace? Shouldn't I dwell more on the things that gives me these? What's the use of believing my creator is a killer when even if I can't prove to anyone, I know for a fact he isn't? I am wise enough to know when I choose things to hold onto and things to let go of. I am also wise enough to know when a deep seated truth has been awakened within and resonates with the very core of my being. |

Mindfulness: We can never lose the connection entirely but not all of us are profoundly connected.

Whatever the case may be, for me there is nothing more beautiful than this connection. True talk. You're actually a breath of fresh air here. Very true. The inner purpose, for me, is to stay deeply connected. From there everything is easy. Not different from mine. I use the words, "deep relationship" If the blue statement is true - and I believe it is - then the green one must be true too. If you are him, you can only be light and love too. + You must first feel it. It feels really good. trust me, I have. I do. I look forward to those days when the feeling's at its peak Irrelevant what people say on the days when you feel deeply connected. Turns out this is the first time I've give attention to the word "Cherry-Picking" It's not a bad thing to cherry pick na, or is it?

Guys, get off MizmyColi's case. She has had a rough time getting here. The scars will heal evetually. She'll find her own path. I remember reading from FaithFreedom.org, how Dr Alisina, went from being a Muslim to an Atheist, then to a Christian who believe in Jesus, but didn't believe in the Bible. But today he calls the Bible a Gold mind. He quotes freely from it and directs others to it. Its a walk. If I remember correctly, Mizmycoli was a JW, today, I hear her talking about speaking in other Tongues. Guys leave her to her God. She'll get there. I was a Catholic once, who was seriously against what the pentecostals do, because I wasn't reading my Bible, so I was ignorant. When I started my walk, I found my Path. Its personal. He that seeketh shall find. You have not received because you have not asked. Ask that you may receive that your Joy May be full. (Jesus Christ). 3 Likes |

Thank you Anas90 I appreciate your understanding that it's a walk. I've never been a JW member though. I was actually a non-churced believer when I joined this forum. |

Intellectualism is a deceiver, it persuades intellectuals to establish for themselves a belief system which deviates from, and makes inferior, some core or all of GOD'S sanctioned tenets. Once upon a time I had a spacious luxury apartment there. It endears people to you, but it's in actuality a inevitable path to eternal loss. 3 Likes |

MizMyColi: This is kinda rigmarole As you said previously that there are pretty much things we never understand or may not understand but that doesn't mean that each of us have to invent personal ideology whether abstract or real as personal deity without any good reasons and justifications. I follow your replies to comments here, i find no valid reasons you gave to justify your personal believe. After-all you intentionally decided to share with us how you are not an atheist. That's why it seemed as if we are pretty concern about your position in connection with Christianity, religion, agnosticism, deism, solipsism, atheism etc. 2 Likes 1 Share |

menesheh: Not really. Sometimes there are not enough words to express how one truly feels. Following blindly the abrahamic religions , as we all did, sooner or later, leads to a crisis of meaning for every individual. I see nothing wrong in her trying to independently seek and find her own meanings within the framework of her experiences and environment. At one time or another , we all went through those stages. 2 Likes |

Re: Dear Nairalanders; I Am Not An Atheist. by Nobody: 11:35am On Nov 26, 2015 |
MizMyColi:Sure. If you will let me pull those cute cheeks Ok. Quick short lessons. - Treat all God as the same. Yahweh, Allah, Sango, Ekwensu, Thor, Odin. They are either ALL TRUE or ALL BULLSHIT. - Respect the universe. In it, we dwell, exist and have our being. - Embrace, not worship, your ignorance. To "BE IGNORANT" is better than being "FALSELY KNOWLEDGEABLE". - Doubt your senses. The heart is a beast, that's why its behind cages. Above all, remember that one day, you will die. I will die. Everyone we know on this site will be dead. Everyone living right now will be all dead at some point. But the human race will keep spreading, and they will exchange new ideas,new thoughts, new thinkings. And we would look primitive to them. And one day, it will be their turn on the cosmic cycle. Life is amazing, mysterious, beautiful, ugly, sexy, burning, mysterious. Stop trying to figure it out. Enjoy it. Love. Have sex. Make babies. Smile. Eat. Travel. Explore. Seek peace. "TRUE PEACE" comes from within. You are now a full-fledged Born again Ogboni like me. Come be my Jezebel booboo.. 6 Likes 2 Shares |
