Luke 19
11. While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. 12. He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13. So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’
14. “But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’
15. “He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it.
16. “The first one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’
17. “‘Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’
18. “The second came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned five more.’
19. “His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’ . 20. “Then another servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. 21. I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’
22. “His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow? 23. Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’
24. “Then he said to those standing by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
25. “‘Sir,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’
26. “He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 27. But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.’”

Na so we see am
Greetings brother

OP, you're confused like your fellow Atheists and I will tell you why. What do they want to evagelise? They have no Constitution. They have have no principles. They have nothing to sell. They have no unique selling point.

Their reason for existence is majorly based on pulling Christianity down. You can't grow with that kind of negative philosophy. You have nothing positive to sell.

Confused elements minus my friend Frank317 and Seun who's working round the clock to resolve my issue.

[quote author=superhumanist post=59337675]
I must first state that I am not an atheist but I am a deist. I was enlightened by an atheist when I was a christian and I left the religion.

Having grown up in a religious village, I was exposed to a lot of superstitious beliefs which were sometimes harmful to innocent people. It was an atheist roommate in the city who helped me to understand that life is not kind to ignorant superstitions. I will never forget this roommate of mine who fought with me tirelessly in order to get me to stop doing ignorant things in the name of religion. I hated him in the beginning and now I really respect him.

I still believe in a god but not the christian god or personal god.


I believe that atheists have a role to play in Nigeria even if it only begins on the internet. Atheists could save many people from superstitious rubbish. What if I told you that I regret beating up a child who I thought was a witch? An innocent child. That was who I was when I was deeply religious. My point is that atheists should keep up the arguments and debates. You never know who you could change.

I know some people will disagree with me and that is fine. It is a free world. Peace.[/quote) Congrat on ur new found ignorance....What makes u think that ur new found god is not full of superstitious believes too.

Lol were you a strict christian?

Yes, though partially. I've preached to muslims, been harassed physically by muslims for doing morning cry, etc. The way I turned around and faced my mission overnight is still a mystery to those who knows me offline till date. As in, a fervent Christian slept a Christian, a lover of fictitious Jesus and woke up as a non-Christian and an oppser of fictitious Jesus. My case is similar to this case:

DOCTUFOS: Otem Erectus 94:1-13
1. A homo of the land of Somore-ika named Ituno awoke suddenly from sleep and said, the king Eneyufo was foolish. And the homos of the land gathered to hear Ituno. For they thought that he had become mad.
2. And Ituno said, do not look at me as if I have become mad. For I flew out of this land and out of this time into another time. And I saw how those who had two heads live together with those who have one head peacefully.
3. How do you now judge Eneyufo as a great king when he was so full of ignorance? For the child whom he killed for having two heads and four legs were actually two children who were such together from the womb.
4. Now the elders of the land came together and said among themselves, have we not warned everyone in the town to keep the ugly story away from their children? But some of you have gone to make it known.
5. And the father of Ituno went before them and said, we have told him no story at all. And it is a mystery to us how he got to know of the story. For it was the year when the king died that he was born.
6. And no one told him anything of such.
7. And they invited Ituno to the council of the elders. And they asked him, saying, tell us how did you hear the story of Eneyufo the great king? And Ituno said, Eneyufo was a fool and an ignorant king who did not understand knowledge and he used ignorance to explain deep things.
8. He is evil and deserving of a cruel death for killing the innocent homos in his ignorance while he pretended as if he was wise.
9. Truly no one told me of the story of that wicked king, but I knew it myself when I felt my soul coming out of my body. And I floated and descended upon the hill of Somore-ika. And I saw how the king was killing a creature which has two heads and four legs. And I asked, saying, why do you kill this creature?
10. And he said to me, who are you to question me, Eneyufo the greatest king of Gara? And I said, tell me why you kill this creature. And he came towards me to take me, but I floated away.
11. And I saw myself among those who had those kinds of abnormal creatures in their place. And they said to me that it was an accident in the womb of the mother that is the cause of it and not the curse of the gods.
12. And when I awoke, I told these things to my parents. And when I asked whom Eneyufo was, they said he was the greatest king of this land. And I said, surely, he is the greatest in ignorance and foolishness.
13. Now when Ituno had ended his talk, the elders kicked against him and said, we know that you are not yourself anymore. For you are now mad. Do you need to be told how our great king Eneyufo gathered fifty witches and killed them until they had confessed their evil deeds?

The atheist only reject the existence of God, they however do not know the origin of the universe, neither can they claim certainty in God's inexistence(because they're not certain). I don't think an ideology like that deserves to be spread, evangelism is done by people who are confident in what They believe not the confused.

we don't argue with folks about Santa, the Easter Bunny, or the Tooth Fairy, because we don't find entire religious movements dedicated to deifying - let alone worshiping - the main characters at the center of any of THESE fables, like we do with the God myth. And the reason we concern ourselves with this myth at all is because of the impact it has - through the great numbers of adherents - on the legal and social landscape of the larger social culture, that we share.
If you lived in a country where the majority of people believed in Santa Claus, you really wouldn't say something about it!?

I have never denied the existence of Santa Claus. I personally prefer him. He's married and treats his wife with respect. I'm pretty sure he brings toys to straight, gay, lesbian and Trans kids. If you are naughty the worst is you get nothing in your stocking.

What you are simply saying is that you do not agree with the God of Christians because He is Authoritative, Unpliable and Controlling.

You will rather prefer Christians to parade a Toy and Pliable weakling: then there would be peace knowing that the Christian God is of the rank of the Santa Clause.

They want God to be how they decide he should be in their minds as if God is beneath them. God must dance when they say so and cry when they say so. I just laugh at them when I read their comments.

Even our earthly children whom we raised o and sent to school o and paid all the way till they were fully grown end up frequently rebelling against our old fashioned ideas and have a mind of their own even as little children but here he is wanted a diety to submit to him unconditionally.

You just have to laugh at these guys.
