I think you are getting me wrong. I am not prophecying doom for your relationship. I don't have the right!

I am just pointing out an issue that "hot love" overlook until reality sets in. I hope then, you would not say that you are putting down your foot on religious issues.

What happens along the line if your wife becomes religiously "fanatical" over "what doesn't exist!".


I can also ask "what happens if two Christians marry and calling the line, the husband or wife becomes an atheist?

Let me tell u what happens becasue like life, shiiiit always happens.... People must learn to deal with it.

Big fallacy of over generalisation. So a tiny sampling from a top 10 list of porn people who claim to believe in God is somehow representative of the millions of people who worship God earnestly and strive to do His Will according to His Word?

Simple logic my friend. An aberration to a general rule does not negate that general rule. If 10 pornstars call themselves believers in spite of the overwhelming evidence that porn is anything but Christian, how does that affect Christian credibility?

To use this example, there is a general rule that most basketball players are over 6 feet tall. "Most" does not mean "all". So if a FEW bballers under 6 feet tall are found, it doesn't negate the general rule that MOST basketballers are over 6 feet tall!!!

This is simple logic. I thought logic was supposed to be the atheists bread and butter.

The 10 people in your Youtube video are not typical examples and are NOT consistent with Christian teachings and doctrines. So how come you have made them the standard bearers of Christianity? Is that logical?

Are all atheists as d.u.m.b as you?

TruthHurts1:
The truth is that an atheist has no moral compass.
For an atheist anything goes. Because he doesn't believe in a Higher Power to whom he will be accountable at the end of his life, he is free to indulge and even over-indulge every excessive urge for selfish gratification that comes over him.
Is it any wonder that the biggest producers of pornography in the world, like Larry Flint and Hugh Heffner are staunch atheists?
It takes discipline to subordinate yourself to a Higher Ideal. Atheists will NEVER have such discipline.

Let me also generalize the same way you had generalized in your earlier post because I doubt if you have really taken any class called Advanced Linear Algebra:

For a Christian anything goes. Because he believes in a Higher Supernatural Power with barbaric history of killing children and approving the rape of women, to whom he will be accountable at the end of his life. He is free to indulge and even over-indulge every excessive urge for selfish gratification that comes over him. His God even had sex with the virgin Mary with his tiny mo.f.uck.ing d.ick.
Is it any wonder that popular pastors who had been involved in sex scandals , like Biodun Oguntoyinbo of COZA, Chris Oyakhilome of Christ Embassy, and Chris Okotie of dumba.ss assembly are staunch Christians?
It takes ignorance to subordinate yourself to a Higher Supernatural Ideal. Christians will NEVER be wise to set themselves free.

Now if I had intentionally said that, wouldn't that be a hasty generalization?. Because you had said "For an Atheist" in your earlier post. However If you had said "For an average atheist" I wouldn't have bothered with replying you. And Nothing in my earlier link to christian pornstars said all christians were pornstars. It was just a link to show you there are Christians with no morals(according to you). The same way there are good and bad Christians is the same we have good and bad Atheists.

With the way you reason,I guess you might have to go get an advanced degree at a top school outside Nigeria.

Anyway, I gotta go do some shopping with my wife and kids and from there we go to the movies. Have a lovely weekend bro!

For instance in Nigeria, everyone can attest to thr fanatic and destructive nature of many hausa-fulani muslims compared to the yoruba and middlebelt muslims who are more liberal.

@ seun

The church does not know he is an atheist. The condition his wife gave him before agreeing to marry him was that he must be coming to church. He said okay. His wife also begged him to not reveal his non believe to the church for her sake and he accepted.
But in our work place he fully unveils himself and tears into us. I simply enjoy religious discussions with him. At least with him, being an atheist there is no threat to my life and I feel very free to exchange views with him.

The atheist very likely does not believe in any of this. The agnostic would only be swayed by objective evidence completely devoid of foul play. Not hearsay or fear mongering. Any suspicion of attempts to deceive contaminates the evidence. So far, many agnostics have seen no objective and repeatable evidence.



What exactly is a spiritual encounter? Hallucination may actually be a credible explanation for what many influenced by fear interpret as spiritual encounters. I'm no expert here, but psychologists know today that influence of drugs and malfunctions in the brain for some reason can lead to what could be perceived as paranormal encounters. It is far more logical to believe explanations that use premises with repeatable outcomes, as can be seen with experiments using hallucination inducing drugs, than to believe in some indefensible explanation that thrives mostly in the presence of fear.



As of today, right and wrong is determined by the law. Granted, the law may have some roots in religious principles. However in advanced countries, the laws have evolved in an attempt to ensure everyone gets justice and fairness. Am I saying just legal systems supersede popular religion? Yes of course. For example, neither Christianity or Islam condemn slavery. Both the quran and the bible's Old Testament encourage slavery. The New Testament admonishes slaves on how to be better slaves. But a completely earthly body in the form of UN has been working very hard to eradicate slavery! Legal codes recognize that justice and fairness to all provides the best environment for collective human progress, and there lies the basis for morality.

Ok, thank u for ur response.

[size=15pt]Another very logical response. Love your use of analogy. We currently have a generation of certificated yet uneducated Nigerians who are products of intellectually-impoverished universities where some dubious teachers with no creditable academic outputs hold professorial chairs. Simple google search would show you that doctoral degrees and professorial chairs in some Nigerian universities are awarded on highly questionable and dubious grounds. Shame! Any wonder people cannot think critically and rationally with a view to emancipating themselves from the shackles of religious claims (Christianity and Islam) derived from Ancient Near Eastern myths and folklores.[/size]

Antiparticle,

I read the long piece you wrote on your journey to atheism. You said you started to become aware of the genocidal acts of GOD. This is the same reason why I wrote that seven-point article you quoted. An understanding of the fact that GOD created and owns humanity will make the motives behind His relationship with humanity clearer.

To the issue of miracles, I can tell you categorically that I have witnessed miracles in my life. Miracles, however, are not a standard for measuring GOD. Satan can do miracles too.

Concerning the slave trade, I'm a bit surprised you focused only on Africans. Do you know that slave trade is as old as man? I was expecting you to ask "why did GOD even allow slave trade to originate?" Asking this question will then lead us into asking "why is there evil today?"

On the historicity of Jesus, it is rather unfortunate that you stumbled upon only biased materials. You can read up Tacitus' piece on Jesus.

I wouldn't mind discussing all this with you on a new thread.

They are just wrong. Prayer only works when not praying would also have worked. If you pray for the sun to rise tomorrow morning, your prayer will be answered, but if you pray for something that requires supernatural intervention, it simply won't happen. 2000 years ago, Jesus promised that Christians would be able to pick mountains up and cast them into the sea at will. Till date, nothing like this has ever happened. A thoughtful spouse is worth a thousand prayer warriors.

I stumbled on the topic a little late and have taken my time to read up the entire 10 pages. I have written much on this topic on NL in time past so I'd just add a tit bit.

Anyone who hates, anyone who preaches hatred, anyone who segregates, anyone who can't stand another, anyone who ostracize and campaign for a group to be ostracized, anyone who loathes another...may I never be eager to share the same abode with them.

The level of hatred tolerated by religion, particularly the three so-called Abrahamic religions, is beyond acceptable to a rational mind.

@OP, your original post is nothing but bile and pure unadulterated hatred towards atheists. Not content with your hate of atheists, you took it online hopefully to raise a mob to finish them off.

Praying works but a step must be taking. And that's FAITH

I have never seen someone that pray concerning a problem and get miracle without taking a practical step in solving the problem. If something like that happen, it's just meant to happen naturally (nature).

I just want a clear thought from you. Ordinarily I thought the biblical directive to "love one's neighbour" was absolute and you have smartly shown that's not the case

And where one is not loving his neighbour one is either hating or being indifferent about his neighbour. The connecting string here is that Christians are either indifferent or hateful towards neighbors not of a Christian conviction. And there is a small community of less than a billion humans they can engage and connect with through marriage and community.

Op Abeg shift.

Who asked you to hate atheists and avoid them like plagues? The advice was that you should not marry them. As a serious Christian, you shouldn't even marry a man that is not more spiritual than you not to talk of an atheist.

The Bible says that, be not unequally yoked with unbelievers, what fellowship has darkness with light?

What will you do when faced with situations that need divine intervention? What will you do children decide not to go to church like their father? What will you do when he starts complaining that you spend too much time in religious matters?

Where in the Bible did it say that God had sexual contact with anyone? Is making up lies the new atheist pastime?

Kindly go for a lobotomy to sort out your mental health issues before coming on NL to embarass yourself.
I did not generalise about atheists in my first post. I merely pointed out that because an atheist does not subscribe to a specifice value system, he is free to do whatever he wants without any qualms. His decision-making lacks a sense of focus or direction. As Martin Luther King Jnr put it:" A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything."
A person who never attended lawschool or medical school who passes himself off as lawyer or doctor is a fraud. Likewise a so called "Christian" who practices adultery inspite of "Thou shalt not commit adultery" is also a fraud.
He is not a "Christian without morals" as you s.t.upidly believe. The difference between you and him is that he is a non-believer who thinks he is a believer, while you are a non-believer who knows he is a non-believer. At the end of the day a IndecentStar who has deceived himself into thinking he is a Christian is no different from a non-believer.

no you got it all wrong, God commands us to love even our own enemies, but that doesnt mean that we should share in their ideologies. For that same scripture of love ur neighbour u ve been basing ur arguments on also warns us sternly to not be equally yoked with unbelievers; light and darkness cannot co-habit, like the op said, marriage involving two persons with different ideologies does not work in the longrun atleast 99% at a time.

Also errmm , Imagine a couple trying to have a baby . They take numerous tests and discover they are infertile . No matter the effort /work they put - that's continually having sex - there will be no baby . They now pray to God . If they stopped having sex or "working" after the prayer , will they conceive a baby ? No . They need to continue having sex coupled with their faith/prayer to God - God's intervention - for it to be effective . Then they conceive and now have a baby even though various tests have shown they are both infertile .

There are numerous testimonies like this .

Strive for the bigger picture. Marriage is just one of the means of forming community. Community between families and strangers is the goal of marriage. So when you say believers and children of light ( Which now stands for Christians) should not yoke with unbelievers and darkness ( Which stands for non Christians) you are implying that these groups of people should not commune or unite as a single community.

So aside from marriage, you are in essence saying Christians should not adopt unbelievers or welcome them or commit to a deeper relationship with them.

Being in a healthy community does not undermine your individuality. Secular nations show brilliant experiments with multiculturalism. People of various ideological backgrounds can coexist even in a marriage.
