So Mark Zuckerberg, just like Bull Gates, threw atheism under a bus by saying that he is not an atheist.

When Zuckerberg made the comment that he is not an atheist on facebook, a lot of Nigerian christians ran to Nairaland to mock atheists and laugh. Seun Osewa, whom I respect so much, made the mistake of answering the christians- who then rejoiced at his "painment"/"butthurt".

However, the joke still remains on christians or religious Nigerians. The reason I say this is because most Nigerians are not intelligent enough to ask "WHAT RELIGION OR BELIEF DOES MARK ZUCKERBERG NOW FOLLOW SINCE HE IS NOT AN ATHEIST"?


I truly wonder why so many christians do not realise that in rushing to mock atheists over Zuckerberg, they have shown their insecurity and ignorance over what belief entails.

One should realise that Zuckerberg never stated what his beliefs are clearly.

-Mark Zuckerberg could be a satanist
-Mark Zuckerberg could be a sango worshipper
-Mark Zuckerberg could be a Buddhist
-Mark Zuckerberg could be a Shintoist.
-Mark Zuckerberg could be a Deist.

Mark Zuckerberg could be a secular humanist as well (a secular religion/philosophy?)- which would not put him far from atheism/agnosticism.


To all the christians and religious folks that rushed to mock atheists, please learn to have the intelligence to read between the lines. Many people make diplomatic comments just to avoid conflicts. Also learn to have the patience and intelligence to learn how to ask important questions- because, a further question should have been put to Zuckerberg- "What are your beliefs"?


As for the issue of "reading between the lines", Zuckerberg lives in a religious (heavily christian populated) country and was asked a question about religion, at a religious time (Christmas holiday)- did you expect him to make an irreligious statement and lose customers?
Even I would deny atheism if i had many christian customers at christmas! Just like how many christians piss their pants and deny Jesus when ISIS comes knocking on their door


Shalom! Happy new year in advance!

you know the bible says not to be evenly yoked with unbelivers 4evergod3 and KingEbukasBlog used this clever comment as an excuse to fufill their sexual fantasies with the dude
Afterall he's technically not an "unbeliever"

JackBizzle:


People love technicalities when it suits them. Zuckerberg never said that he was a christian

kodded:

Let's scrutinize this :

Mark Zuckerberg's initial post was : "Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah from Priscilla, Max, Beast and me!"

Then his response to a Facebook user when asked if he were an atheist : "No. I was raised jewish and then I went through a period where I questioned things, but now I believe religion is very important."

He mentions Judaism as the religion he was raised in , then states clearly that he went through a period where he questions things but now he believes religion is very important .

The most logical conclusion is that Mark Zuckerberg has reverted to Judaism . Hannukkah and Christmas are celebrated on the same day . His wife is a Buddhist and that could have changed his perception of religion .

I would have thought of him as a Buddhist assuming his response when asked if he were an atheist was : "Yes , I was raised jewish and then I went through a period where I questioned things, but now I believe religion is very important" because Buddhism is indifferent towards the belief in God(s) and his wife may have persuaded him to become one .

Mark isn't a pantheist because pantheism is associated with very few religions like in African traditional religions and in Confucianism which he does not adhere to and Modern Pantheism is irreligious in nature and not even popular . He must have questioned pantheism too though less likely "then I went through a period where I questioned things.... " .

Like I said earlier , the most logical conclusion is the Mark Zuckerberg has reverted to Judaism , the religion he was brought up in .

Its funny how you quickly accept any bs spewed by these atheists without being incisive

You are an embarrassment to logical thinking bro

JackBizzle:


Pained?

Why would i be pained?

My beliefs are not based on Mark Zuckerberg.


And guess what? Atheism is only one side of a person. I am also a secular humanist. Mark Zuckerberg's views are close to humanism.

So please, get some sense

4kings:

So logical thinking would only be to accept that he is definitely back to Judaism.
