I Think I Am Threading The Path Of Atheism by Jode(m): 1:29pm On Sep 10, 2017 |
I was once a church loving boy. I could participate in all activities in church and yes everyone loved me. The zeal to attend church programmes was there and i always loved to be in the midst of believers and i can say i loved God. But as time went,I noticed all these were/are no longer there, i now believe science more and i now think science has an explanation for everything that happens. I no longer hold the things of God with esteem. I think i no longer believe in what God can do, and to be sincere i am very sad about this. I don't know what to do as i am losing it. I don't want to become an atheist,in fact i don't like atheism. I know there is a true God but it seems a force is pulling me back and wanting to give up my faith. The faith i have known for long, the faith i have believed. What can i do please. I don't want to become an atheist. Ps--No offense to atheists in here |

Jode, I'm an atheist onto your post, there's a bit of fallacy in your thinking right now that's called "False Dichotomy Fallacy" you're only considering 2 options which are Atheism and Christianity, whereas there are many others you seem not to be either aware of or are ignoring I think from your writeup, atheism repulses you but you don't see yourself remaining a Christian while being true to yourself, you're probably realising the claims of Christianity are not true but you can't take the jump from Christianity to atheism, why not learn about Deism? Pantheism? Panentheism? pandeism and many other labels and see which one fits you properly? 15 Likes 1 Share |

Jode: Hold on. He is a gentle saviour, present help in time of trouble. Ask him to help you. God is real. He is a wonderful God. Whatever you are going through, he understands. Read your Bible. If there are spirits, demons, there is a God. Watch what you read on nairaland religion section. The so called demons that cried out because of his authority will try to convince you that he doesn't exit. Go through my topics here on nairaland. God bless and keep you in his love. Amen. 2 Likes 1 Share |

hopefulLandlord:@op please don't listen to this man o.he is an example of what the bible calls seducers of men,those who practice vain doctrines and heresies. I understand perfectly how you feel especially studying science and seeing evidences and facts but remember Christianity and logic doesn't work hand in hand.the bible said without faith it is impossible to please God so you need to let go of whatever you know or think you know and come to God as if you're a stark illiterate in humility and reverence and tell him to reveal himself to you and show you he is real In times of trouble only Jesus will help,save, heal and deliver.all these people who are encouraging you to practice abominations won't be there |

you do not have to be an atheist if you do not want to. being skeptical of Christianity as a religion does not make you an atheist. https:///Christian_deism |

mrwonlasewonie: It is comments like this that make people lose their faith. So to be a Christian you have to lose your senses and become a slowpoke? : “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1). blind faith is not the answer. 6 Likes |

Jode: God bless you for coming out Sincere. Oga. Science is not atheism And atheism is not science. I can give u an endless list of scientists and nobel winners who believe in God. That is just the devil playing games with you. I have heard this talk from many young males before The devil wants to hook you on immorality Many times for young people like u, its either fornication, masturbation or pornography. Beware! He wants to silence your conscience He doesnt want you to be asking God for forgiveness any longer. So that one day, your soul departs from God That's just what is happening to you Dont feel as if you are trying to use science in the mind That is very far from the reality on Ground I pray for you right now Receive the grace to be steadfast And also the grace to study God's word. Amen I sense you dont study Gods word Please start doing Faith comes by hearing and hearing by Gods word.... It is well with you in Jesus Name. Amen 2 Likes |

Lol, funny atheists, don't even know what y'all want anymore. If I had adviced him to remain steadfast in the faith you would've equally criticized like you're doing now. Per the bolded, Forcing people into accepting Christ is not a criteria for making heaven. Ranchhoddas: |

I would be sincere and gentle with you. You were not a Christian. If you were those "church" people would not love you. You were just in a religious setting were people mumbled some scriptures from time to time and sang hymns and songs and were satisfied with themselves. They loved you because you were just like them. But now, you are drifting away and you are afraid it is God you are running away from. Not! Many men and women who got genuinely saved threaded this part of scepticism including me. Little did we know that it was God beckoning on us until we got saved! These "churches" that we revere took us far from God. They are stiff and powerless. They dull our minds and make us hate God and love them. How can you be a Christian and have no passion for God? I mean God not church-god or activities or the euphoria of being a "Christian from birth" (this doesnt even exist). When God calls people he calls them out of the grave not in the grave where everything is dead and were none sings His praise. |

@jode, I can easily explain what is happening to you!!! Your brain is rebelling against "indoctrination, inhumanity and imbecility", which are the 3 pillars holding up christianity today!!! As Hopefullandlord has said, there are other options, not just christianity or "Non Belief in imaginary dogs"!!! Do you know what is referred to as "The Black Flame"? Your "Black Flame" has finally been rekindled, after spending so many years of being dormant in your body!!! This is why you are finally rebelling against christianity, which stands for "herd-conformity", "zombiism", "brainlessness" and "pride in stupidity"!!! There is no going back from here!!! Embrace your trueself!!! You are a beast and not a "shameless sheep" like 4evergod!!! 1 Like |

Jode: Have you considered Jodeism for once? That's a kind of system involving following your own way rather than following the jargons written for you in the bible by some expired people. The three golden rules: Use your brain Worship no god Do good to humanity You are good to go if you observe these three golden rules. Life isn't about believing something, rather, it's about you and how best to interact with your environment. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

The wheel of cognitive dissonance is in motion Jode, let it run its course. Experience tells me that if you don't fight it, you will quickly get to a point of reconciliation, whatever that may be. If you fight it, you will still get to that point; but, just as friction causes a lot of heat and wear, it'll leave you mentally weary. As new truths begin to unfold, embrace them quickly and enjoy their collateral consequences. Your life is about to get a hell of a whole lot interesting! 4 Likes |

Jode: Fable should be taught as fable, myth as myth, and miracles as poetic fancies. To teach superstitions as truth is horrifying. The mind of a child accepts them and only through great pain, perhaps tragedy, can the child be relieved of them. __ Hypatia Men will fight for superstition as quickly as for the living truth -- even more so, since a superstition is intangible, you can't get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, as so is changeable. You are going through the pain and tragedy Hypatia was talking about. We all went through it! 5 Likes |
