tintingz:Good statement. Christians normally think atheists are frustrated people that hate God. The funny truth is that we don't believe in God. So how can we hate him? Atheism is not harmful to society we make decisions according to observation of our study. An atheist make decisions that will benefit humanity but Christians makes decisions according to a book of over 2000years written by some uneducated jews. 1 Like |

segunojo866:Religion is good, even necessary, for humans! Every group of people (society) has had a religion and still have religions. Even developed nations have religions. You have read on here somewhere that humans evolved from apes. I am not going to assert the truth of this statement, just that there were times when humans grunted. In those days, and for a long time after, they looked up at the sky, saw a big ball of light and bowed down in awe and worshipped it. At night a different ball of light waxed and waned in the sky and humans bowed down in awe and worshipped it. Some looked at the birds flying, bowed down in awe and worshipped it. Some looked at the swiftness of the cheetah or the largeness of the mammoth and worshipped it. Some worshipped the thunder, some the lightening and so on and worshipped it. They had offspring and told them to worship what they worshipped and over generations large groups of people grouped together to form societies and worshipped things in common. Over very long periods of times, the form of worship was codified and that today is what we call religion. Religion is a consequence of ignorance and an attempt to know more. In the beginning we seek to explain, but knowing so little we accept the simplest explanation (the entire abode of humans is my village, the earth is flat, God created it in 6 days etc), as passed down by those who went before us. As humans have grown they go to the moon to check if God really lives there and adjust their religion as more understanding comes along. Eventually we kill off the old Gods and adopt more sophisticated ones and as the Gods evolve so do humans (or more appropriately, as human understanding evolves so do our Gods. In time religion is abandoned and seeking out the truth takes over and more people will seek evidence for what they accept as true. They will abandon belief for evidence. They will abandon faith for proof. Indoctrination will give way to education in the real sense of teaching people to question and then Nigeria will depart from the dark state its in and become an enlightened nation like those so called developed nations. All so called developed nations have followed this path and so will Nigeria and all those other nation you mentioned. |

OLAADEGBU:funny Christians many of those people you mentioned where never atheist or Christians. They are group of selfminded people. Adolf Hitler was never an atheist but he was never into religion. He is just a normal pagan that don't really care about Religion or God. Atheists don't believe in God existence at all. Let talk about atheists of the 21century like Richard Dawkins not some unproven atheists of the past. |
