I call atheists fools because the Bible says
"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God..."
Psalms 14:1


Atheists are mistakes of environmental and cultural probabilism.
They are confused folks who think rejecting the rationality of a superior being would make them be considered as superior thinkers.

In a workplace, they should not be let to participate in any Spiritual deliberation before their godlessness brings the organization down.

Deep down even the atheist believe in something. They know there's a God but the arrogance of their human intelligence is their curse.

I'm sure you've lost "God-fearing" close relatives, friends and loved ones to the cold hands of death.

Talking about life, their lives were cut short. Right?

Why didn't your "God" keep their lives?

I'm sure that question crossed your mind too.



Your "God" doesn't exist, B*t*h!

Bring down which fuckin' wretched organization? grin

The world's most valuable companies are actually owned by Atheists, you d**t!

Alphabet's (Google) Larry Page and Sergey Brin are atheists.

Facebook's Mark Z. is an atheist.

Microsoft's Bill Gates is an atheist.

Warren Buffet, arguably one of the greatest philanthropists the world has seen is an atheist.

If only Nigerians channeled their energies into researches, more researches and factual intellectual endeavours instead of believing in a non-existing "God" and attending church programmes upandan, the country would be a better place.

Axelrod:


I do not pretend about my position on issues. I know my worth and it is not attached to my religious stance.
I was only employed because I am qualified to work there. So if knowing that I share no same belief with my employer will make me less qualified, then I take my leave.

At my work place currently, every Friday from 8:00am-9:00am ( 1 long hour), they hold fellowship where ''men of god'' are often invited to come minister. I had to communicate my boss, telling him where I stand in terms of religion. He weighed my inputs against the effect of having an Atheist in his organization. The outcome I resume work 9:00am every Fridays, and it has been that for exactly one year and three months today.

Do not pretend about who you are, because you fear you may get fired.
Hmmmn I admire your confidence.
Buts its just the way Nigerians see atheists.
they see you ass being influenced by a demonic spirit

Every Monday morning, the company I work with holds a meeting. Before the meeting starts, the Manager appoints someone to pray.
As an atheist, if you're called upon to pray, what would be your response? Considering how sensitive the topic of Religion is, especially in Nigeria. And also considering the fact that not everyone is open minded.

What would be your response?

Richard Dawkins addressed a similar issue in an interview recently, although in his case it's concerning dinner with colleagues where sometimes he is required to say Grace, and despite being a militant atheist he nevertheless always said it when called upon to do so, he justified his action by saying "I'll tell no lies, but I have no objection over saying some meaningless words" cheesy
So pray when called upon to do so, consider it a social activity, it's only rational to maintain social harmony, it takes nothing away from your atheism.

In as much as I am not an atheist, I do not support the idea of mixing religion with business is rubbish. Also, people's right to freedom of thought, religion should be respected.
In spite of being religious does not mean the boss would not cheat.
In market places u see traders organize fellowship yet they wud still cheat, sell fake or expired items.

Everybody is entitled to their opinions and views. religion is a personal thing... And you shouldn't feel those that aren't in the same sect as you are mentally deranged or some set of gullible believers...even if they are "in your head " respect their choice.. it's like a girl refusing to go on a date with you... Even if you are the best guy in town in your mind ... Going about calling her a fool just shows how wise you are.

With or without religion hope and faith does exist .. the thing is just that in the "order of your religion" you put your faith in to use ... It's a matter of "faith in what".. You can choose to have faith in yourself, cosmic powers , metaphysical energies, plain-consequencial sequence of events etc. Atheist also have hope.because everyone if alive has a time frame that can be viewed from a perspective of "yet to occur" scenario.

Op ..I'll rather you just play along since you aren't the boss yet. Except your boss is liberal . BT if you feel so uncomfortable with it.. You can humbly decline such personally with the handler if there is Time​ to meet such person in private. Not openly it looks like an attack when they say :
Mr x please lead us in prayer.. and you are like : I'm sorry y'all I can't do this.. you know how it will end that day

I'm not an atheist though.. .I believe in God . I embrace "a form" of the old Yoruba Religion... Love, peace , charity n Thanksgiving..I call it the 4 pillars.

well there is God somewhere.call it God,supreme being,supernatural being whatever...but if you deny religion,i might spare you,but denying the existence of God is something common sense cant deny.
question
the SUN has been existing for billions of years and has never defaulted so who or what is responsible for that?nature?
man dies the sun lives where is the nature?
sun is supposed to serve man but man dies living the sun,if nature were to spare any being it will be man not sun.that means there is aGod controlling the sun.goodluck.

Lol... this is the problem with you guys. You're always quick to anger. You don't shout to win arguments, you use facts/points that's why atheists always win you.

Atheists own companies and employ people too. They don't force their staff not to pray so i don't see why an atheist will be forced to pray if the boss is a theist. Live and let live, no need judging atheists, allow your god to do his job.

You call him atheist wannabe, are you sure you're not a theist wannabe? can you beat your chest and say you're 100% faithful to your god

You don't know jackshit, do you? Nature spare man? Not sun? This is the kind of anthropocentric bullcrap that makes religious folks dangerous, you honestly believe the sun is there to serve you, and that so therefore God put it there for you!

Is it the same God that established Coca-Cola?

Or Apple?

Or Shell?

Do they pray at these companies before they do anything and that is the source of their success?

The prayer companies are in Nigeria, and they are the "real global success".
