How I Nearly Got Mobbed Because Of My Belief!!! by oyewolestephen(m): 12:15pm On Apr 24, 2016
On one fateful afternoon I left my house to cut my hair, on getting to the entrance some guys there were playing in a rough manner accidentally I was hit via body contact and my phone fell down from my hand and the screen broke.
instantly the boys apologised and I gave up.. A man that was very close to there said the screen broke for a purpose that certainly God will provide a better one for me(what I don't like to hear in such scenario)
I politely reply him that I don't Believe in his theory because I don't need to believe in any imaginary God before I forgive my fellow human being. Unbelievably the man started looking me asif I am not a human being.the man said Imaginary god? I said "Yes" am I not a Christian? "Yes ", Muslim? "No" traditionalists? "No" what are you then? just a humanist. so I briefly expatiate on what I mean by that.so you don't believe in existence of God? Yes!!, why? because I have never seen a concrete evidence to believe. The man sigh and said he would disown me if it happens that I am one of is children. Really?
So I observed that the man was still looking me in an annoying way(who cares?) so I faced my business.
Due to my current mood I was unable to wait for my turn because 3 people were ahead of me to barb so I decided to go and come back.
On getting there, Only one person remained so I have to wait. While waiting the same man walk up to me and angrily told me that if I don't want god to punish me even down to my offspring I shouldn't utter such statement again I replied him by saying he should keep that intimidating speech for is fellow religious folks. The man got more angry and raised an alarm by calling the passers-by to come and see the person that said God does not exist, at the arrival of those people I felt so embarrassed, and they started calling me all sorts of wicked name including a fool, not that only I was also bombard with numerous expected questions like:
who brought you to this earth? I answered them by saying "I was not brought but I was given birth" another question If I die where am I going? I honourably answer them by saying" I will go back to where I was before birth" which place? I don't know!! beside, why is it necessary to know where am going when I don't know where I came from? And some other ridiculous questions are: what is responsible for rainfall?
Why is there day and night?
How did I grew up to this my current stage?
Who created the heaven and earth?etc.
What surprised me most was when the shop owner chase me out of his shop branding me as a satanic weapon (meanwhile I don't even believe in existence of satan too)
After all these mess I became angry too and I told them that all what they are doing or saying is really abnormal and they shouldn't take it personal, because everyone has freedom of belief and expression they should also leave me for their god to judge and face the consequences of my statement, therefore all what they are doing is irrelevant.At the time of speaking a street guy even holding cigarette ,heard about this to my surprise he took it to the next level by coming up with an action to engage in physical combat with me,also hearing a voice from afar, deal with that guy, teach him a lesson!! Who is his father?Now I need no pessimist to tell me am in trouble imagine only me at the midpoint of those religious fanatics. To cut the story short when I discovered they've started showing excessive grievance I stylishly and shamefully work away from the area to avoid further problems.
Due to the awful experience have decided not to share my thought(as far as Nigeria is concern) openly, to avoid being hurt or stigmatised. Hmmmmm Nigerians are extremely religious not a home for philosophical minded. A victims advices!!!

So because he neither believes in God nor Satan, he should be mobbed and killed?
How does his believing in nothingness or somethingness affect your life?

Last, time i checked freedom of religious beliefs or non belief is a fundamental human right.

No difference between the people that almost mobbed the OP, this commentator (dazzle101) and Boko Haram or ISIS.

If you don't believe in anything that's no problem @all! But that everyone was against you should give u cause for concern especially when you thought u were obviously in the right!

OP, I don't think it's right for anyone to do you harm for what you believe in, happy now

Hahahahaha boko haram, isis, alqueeeda or howeva it's spelt! U didn't even understand the basis for the post rather than ask for clarity you take d stance of zeus...


Now, whether you understand my post or not I'm not here to make you! So if God doesn't exist, why did his belief seem outrageous to just about everyone who heard him speak!

Please take a long shot, I'm not big on who believes in what or not, you all have a right of choice and it's all up to you, now that's my take!!!

So don't bother me no more!

Why don't you do us a favour and explain the basis of the post. The OP said he was almost lynched for expressing his non belief in God and you say i do not understand the basis of the post.
His beliefs seem outrageous to everyone who heard him speak just like your religious belief would seem outrageous in an ISIS dominated crowd, the same way Hindu beliefs would appear outrageous to a christian dominated crowd and the same way the belief that God begot a son who is in fact himself seem outrageous to a Muslim dominated crowd. The fact that a certain belief seem outrageous to a particular crowd does not justify hatred and intolerance, that is the very definition of fanaticism.

You lie when you say you are not big on who believes in what. You exhibit hatred for Muslims, Pagans, Hindus and especially atheists. I am sure you you think converting them to your religion or eliminating them altogether would be a religious obligation.
