you're being coy, you said there's proof a pink unicorn doesn't exist, I said I have one with me and now you're pulling hominems

does google know what I ate yesterday? if no, how come you're implying every information is on google?

does google know the cocacola formula? if no, why then are you so sure anything that is on google is the truth and anything not there is a lie? can't there be truth outside google


I repeat, I have a pink unicorn with me right now

I was discussing with a friend recently and the topic unfortunately moved to the rising atheistic population of Nigeria (Nigeria has a shitload of atheists, no joke. You just need to know where to look).
He was of the opinion that the rise of atheism in Nigeria is a reaction.
A reaction to the flaws and excesses of especially Pentecostalism.
How true is this?
Let's have a civil discussion please.

Interesting, I am not sure that there has been a significant rise in atheism as a direct result of the perceived flaws of pentcostalism, I have seen no empirical evidence to suggest or support this. What I do think however is that there is a far wider platform to present atheistic views than ever before.

Once an atheist takes the decision to no longer believe in God then the whole shebang is over. It is usually for far deeper and existential reasons, the flaws of organised religion in general and the excessive and frankly garish behaviour of so called men-of-god in particular simply become a symptom of underlying issues. Still, I often ask myself why congregants put up with these excesses and I come to realise that it is because the congregants see in these charlatans what they aspire to, and that once the “penny has dropped” that religion is a form of a neurosis, you cannot then return to that state of being.

What we all want in this life is Freedom but sometimes fear is what prevent us from getting it! and that's what religion[Christiaanity & Islam] does to people.

Lol. Noticed that. Before people accuse Se.un of Atheism propaganda.

My primary science teacher is an atheist and i dont know why keep telling me what oxygen and carbon dioxide is.

Freedom. Education. Exposure.

I think at some point, every atheist before abandoning his/her god would have asked him/herself this questions...

1. Why do I even think there is god?

2. What makes my own version of god more authentic than others'?

3. Are the stories I've been fed from childhood really through? (Now my kid brother has been asking me this particular question for some thine now).

These are just some of the many questions whose answers lead many away from the god idea, some to deism, some to other religions and others to atheism.

Something we can all agree on is that the way religion is played in Nigeria leaves much to be desired, but that is not enough reason, the worse that can lead to is a rise in the number of irreligious theists.

Okay, I see your point though.

If "Goodluck Jonathan" happens to be your father but you don't want to see him, don't want to hear about him not to talk of going out with him, etal. your sole aim is how to send assassins after him, I'm sorry but a "stranger"that reads about his daily activities may need to lecture you about your father and even tell you that he once ruled Nigeria and you blame yourself for "opportunities"lost.
REPENT AND STOP DECEIVING YOURSELF AND NAIRALAND KIDS,U DEFINITELY WILL NOT LIKE THE OUTCOME AND SURELY WILL HAVE YASEF TO BLAME
