I agree with you on some points religion didn't have to wreck a relationship however it has a strong probability of causing serious crises.

If a Christian find herself marrying an atheist, the bible do not support divorce so, she must learn to live with whatever consequence that may come up without throwing up a fuss.

Religious views are radical by their nature..it is people -theists who are not radical. The Bible equivocally says that one should not marry a non believer. However, the bible also says if you had marry an non-believer, you must NOT divorce him because of that.

If aChristian girl will violate the first command because she doesn't really subscribe to what her religion says..do we say thatshe is really practicing her faith?

Love isn't a feeling
Love is a choice
You have said it all, religious views are radical by their nature . That's taking the bull by the horn I agree with you 100%. But don't forget about grace, it supersedes commands don't it?
Love to me ain't a choice but that's a discussion for another thread

your brain has been blocked. wtfk

if there is unconditional love there would be no punishment.

look at the pics attached. unconditional love is loving someone without what you get(worship,obidience,etc) from them.
Christian God wants to get worshipped, prayers, fasting etc. those are the conditions.

your low thinking faculty is beginning to annoy me. or you are probably doing it purposely.

am done here.

What interests me most about this thread is how people seem to think you need a religion to have a moral compass. SMH.

Your understanding of the babble is broad, Psalm 139:7 |
"How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your
little ones against the rock.".

Guess what? It's the same bible we pulling out yours and my absurdity.
First off, the passage is Psalm 137:9 and not what you quoted above. The funniest thing is, atheists think they know a lot and are capable of reasoning things out when in reality it's clearly the opposite. What you quoted is off topic because you would have seen that the passage is about warfare and not about what you think it is, particularly if you read from verse 5 down.
- Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones; i.e. that brings on thee the worst calamities of war (see 2 Kings 8:12; Isaiah 12:16-18; Hosea 10:14; Hosea 13:16; Nahum 3:10).

Op Fail.

On the contrary.

Atheists enjoy a much better batting average with smart women than their religious counterparts.

Women tend to find atheists intriguing, smart, reality oriented and less pretentious.

Once you tell a woman that you're an atheist, it peaks her interest, her curiosity. You immediately stand out from the crowd.

Women married to atheists tend to be happier, because of the absence of that extra luggage.

Shut up and stop deceiving yourself. You are smart, intelligent etc just because you don't believe in God? Nah.. you are deceiving yourself. Only the fools among women will have this notion about atheists.
Tell me tangible things that you have achieved in life as a result of your atheism that no Christian can achieve. I mean how has atheism helped you to make a unique mark in your career, business or field of endeavour that no Christian can make?
If your claims of intelligence and smartness ends only in unbelief in God and making ridicule of the bible then you are stupid.

You see the thing with atheists is that they really don't care one way or the other. They won't go around trying to change your mind or ensure their children become like them, I notice that is more of a Christian thing. But you right though, one should not marry an atheist. There may come a time when you're sorely tried and need the support of a Christian husband and you're stuck with someone who doesn't even believe in God.

Grace!
Its a big spiritual grammer but its far much deeper. An aspect of grace is not breaking up under sustained unwanted pain or discomfort.

...from this we find the scripture "My grace is sufficient for you.." Could there be Sustained Pain? Yes! Could there be a sustained discomfort? Yes!

Did she count the cost puting this factor in view?

We choose to Love: What is the correct definition of Love? Well maybe another day...

[s]Pls i have to disagree with this abeg. I am a christian but
How many times have u heard of atheists forming terrorist groups to defend allah like the muslim fanatics do? Atheists are far more peaceful than religious fanatics in a religion like Islam.[/s]
If u tell me that atheists are not better than comitted born again christians and liberal muslims, i may accept, but for atheists not being better than all religious people (both liberals, fanatic, extremist), then capital NO.

My only problem with atheists is the way they ridicule God and other people's religion, some words from them can be so shocking and have no boundaries, but i must confess that these people called atheists are very intelligent people.



Stop deceiving people out of yer ignorance, Muslim has nothing to do with terror attacks.Terrorist attacks Muslims mostly nd they had killed more Muslims than people from any other religion in the world.Pls don't come here nd paint Islam black in the name of justifying atheism. How many times av u seen Muslim on this forum open thread to against atheism or write something bad about atheist. So pls,stop tanish the image of Islam.

Ignorance. If God doesn't love you, you won't be alive. He doesn't just love Christians or else He wouldn't have died for sinners. So as Christians, we love you too and it is not wrong or unbibilical to marry an Atheist. But, for the sake of a peaceful marriage, I rather not.
Your point is so nonsensical paradox, how? You started with "Ignorance" and went on to exhibit the ignorance by stating, "If God doesn't love me, i won't be alive. So what you trying to say is God is aware of sick people who are currently bedridden and about to die but won't do nothing to keep them alive and he also don't love people who are in the mortuary right now because if he does, they wouldn't die.

Ignorance at its peak. OP go get objectively inclined if you think an atheist will be subjective.

Christianity preach love with no condition , so when you said "no be this kind love" are you remixing the teaching of Christ?

If you detest Christian - atheist marriage then you will not promote Christian - Islam or Christian - Buddhist marriage which just confides your small brain to your village.

DoctorAlien:


I just felt compelled to explain things to you.

1. GOD created you. He owns you.

And so what I never begged him to create me.

2. GOD demands that you pay due obedience and respect to Him, as the Creator.

And if I refuses to do so. I will burn to infinity for doing so. it means that is no agape love in his type of love.

3. Sin is refusing to obey GOD.

4. GOD hates sin. His eyes are too pure to behold iniquity.

5. Sin pollutes GOD's creation. Disaster and death exist today because of sin. For the people who obey GOD, the presence of sin and its effect is enough torture.

6. GOD wants to rid His creation of sin and its effect, so that peace will reign.

7. It follows then that GOD will also get rid of those who have vowed to continue to practise sin, despite all the pleas and warnings from GOD.

At least speak like an educated person. I want to assume you are. If God doesn't love you, you won't be alive doesn't mean he hates those that are dead. He loves you but do you love Him back? That's where your problem is. He will give you chance after chance to change that's why He loves you. As for those that aren't alive, everyone has to die one day right including you and me. So my brother, Christianity is a choice so is Atheism. I have made mine, you have made yours. Leave us suffer the consequences of our choices. After all is being a Christian taking anything from you? No? Then leave us the hell alone!

SpicyJosBabe:
Pls i have some few personal questions i want atheists here to answer, i will really appreciate your responses cos i really want to understand how all of u guys see life and probably learn a thing or two.

1) Do u atheists completely disbelieve the existence of the spiritual realm or spiritual powers?
If yes, then are u guys saying spiritual practices like witchcraft, Occultism, Herbalist practices and prophecies are completely non-existent or completely powerless?

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.

SpicyJosBabe:
2) What if u guys had a spiritual attack or encounter?
What will you do?
Who will you go to for counsel?
How will you inteprete it?
Or will you guys say you have never had such encounters before?
If negative, then what about those who have had spiritual encounters? will you guys say such people are all lying or are just hallucinating?

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.

SpicyJosBabe:

3) Since you atheists don't have an officially unified code of guideliness or scriptural stipulations guiding your ways of life, do you guys personally define your own personal codes of conduct?
If yes, how do u know what is wrong or right?
If you say you depend on your conscience for what is wrong or right, how sure are you that a conscience may never go wrong, be broken or be hardened and hereby deliver wrong judgements?

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.

Hey bro, thx for the measured and thoughtful response.

I have written down different versions of my story on NL including this long writeup about my journey into disbelief, this short post about my disillusionment with Christianity, this post about my views on prophecies and miracles, this response to a Nairalander on the revisionist history of Christianity, and this brief conclusion on the idea of god/gods. Writing out these posts was therapeutic and cathartic for me.

DoctorAlien:
Antiparticle,

I understand where you're coming from, and I must admit that for an atheist(or someone who doesn't believe in GOD), you're really civil and ready to reason.

Well, I cannot presume to say that I have represented Christ's love as good as I should have done it. However, I know I have tried to reason with many a skeptic from the "Christ's love" point of view. The fact remains, unfortunately, that many will still not believe. The Bible has to be true in Psalm 14:1.

I'm somewhat intrigued that you, a person who had found "Christ's love", no longer believes in Jesus Christ.

Why did you abandon Christianity? What questions shook your faith in Christ? What discoveries did you make? What was the last straw that broke the camel's back?

Oh! Hearing that is good news for your relationship if and only if you won't change your mind in the future.

Your second paragraph:
Everyone going into any marriage should count the cost and choose not to fret over the consequence of their choices. If a girl marries me even though she knows I have a low sperm count, then down in the marriage if no child comes up, she mustn't fret for that will kill whatever love that brought them together. So it is for both of you..count the cost and discuss about it. No two ways about communication that revolve around this.

My normal self will not encourage the union (strictly from christian point of view) but if the cost has been well factored into the relationship then the marriage will work very well.

Love is NOT a feeling
Love is a CHOICE

Don't worry, to me, it's just a believe in something that does not exist... I grew up around many people like that, I know how to handle u guys than u know how to handle people like me.

I love my baby and nothing u say can stop that.

this guy is so full of love, which was what really attracted his wife to him and he is one of my best friends. A man i can always rely on when i need help. he gives love without discrimination even to the christians in our work place who keeps telling him to his face that he is going to hell.

Unless you are ready to be an atheist yourself, don't ever believe you guys will be able to tolerate each other for long. Forget about the "bullshit" about both of you, loving yourselves and being tolerant to one another. That assertion can never work. How can u spend your life with somebody who thinks that your "belief" is delusional and plain foolishness?

How can you train your children in such a man's house? What if he decides that his children will become atheists too? What will happen when both of you are supposed to pray and come together as a family? Do you think such a person will tolerate ur pastors or church members visiting you in his house?

Avoid atheists like plagues. Don't ever think you can change or convert him, once you people are married. There is no any good quality that any atheist possesses, that is not found among the Christian brothers. Just pray hard and God will give you a good believer that will give you more happiness than any atheist can ever think of giving you.
and then you get upset when atheists think most religious people are brain dead scumbags.

so Christians should not marry Muslims or any other person from another religion?
how can spouses deal with their kids choosing the right religion when both are from different religions?
the same reasons you stated apply to people from different religions getting married.
more so please don't mistake our disbelief and tag it that we take you believers as being stupid..
do you take a Muslim as being stupid
so why would think such about us
.
you guys fail to understand atheist, we simply don't care, about you going to church everyday, about you praying, we don't bother!

listen to this about parenting, atheism is not a religion!! atheists are not converts, although we where all born atheists. parents can choose how to raise their kids in love.
