Well, that is your opinion. I am not hopeless. I am striving for something better.

Keep living your hopeful life that involves judging people anyhow.

she sounds dumb

hakeem4:
i have seen quite a few female non believers.

I remember when i was talking to my crush and she was telling me that she cannot date someone who does not believe in jesus. Then i asked her why? she said because they are not morally upright. There is this stigma many people have against ATHEIST, like we are one virus or something like that

Geminita1:
There is no hope for you guys in anything. Remember you believe in a hopeless idea of life. You will die hopeless too.

Reality11:


Look at what is emanating from this one

Let me give you a life hack.
Speak when you have something to say, don't speak because others are speaking

whitelotus:


Yes. There is an older definition that means someone who says there is no god.

A belief system is an ideology used to discern things

Iloveu2:





Even in the medical field, not every illness is subjected to a laboratory test in order to make a proof. Ordinary symptoms makes a dictation as to what the problem is. We don't have to make a complexity of a simplicity just to project ourselves as men of knowledge. Such amounts to EGOCENTRICITY.

Babies instinctively know that their cry will draw attention and not their smiles if there is a problem they want to be attended to. What proof is there to look for in this?

whitelotus:


But the first premise isnt false.

Apination:

Let's put this argument to bed, do you know what the theory of cause and effect states?

Ardar:
I am not a hundred percent atheist, I still believe there is a God but that is changing slowly.

Apination:

I don't believe you understand what it means to KNOW. Instincts are not knowledge, they do not in certain terms determine the outcome of a particular action. According to you its common knowledge and thus I believe there is or are scientific studies in relation to it, so get the data and then make a strong statement on the basis of that.

Iloveu2:


What are you saying?!

Iloveu2:


What does it state with respect to our argument. And by the way, a theory is very subjective not the same as a law.

Ardar:


It means am not fully an atheist yet, atheists don't believe in God right?

Iloveu2:


You are not up to date. That position has shifted to THE LACK OF BELIEVE IN GOD .

Iloveu2:


Knowledge indeed is as well instinctive, it's something you know from the inside, very much a genetical programming and not a biological function because of the cognitive system involved in such action, which emanates from the mind.

True talks...
I myself is an apatheist... Quiet different from atheism in some way sha.. Just that apatheism is about, "if there is a God or not, we are not interested". I stopped disclosing my identity when people started avoiding me in school. One time last month, a guy called me a lost soul. I laff sha. Can't someone practice what he believes in peace? Nigerian Christians are the highest hypocrites in this world.. No Muslim will look at you like a demon when you tell them your belief...

Apination:

Sorry, its a law not a theory.
You said when a baby needs attention, he or she cries. That's a general statement to begin with, which is actually false since there's no proof for it. Subjecting babies cries as the effect of having a need to be attended to is rather, a wild conclusion. It begs the question why do babies cry? If I beat a baby and he starts crying, is that based on a need? In that case the principle of causation based on your position which is a definite conclusion has not been met and falters when we put the cause and effect side by side.

Ardar:


Isn't that the same thing?

Apination:

You are indifferent to such knowledge, there is nothing like apatheism. You are simply indifferent

Apination:

Bro. Please stop using terminologies you don't understand. You can You are putting up one faulty argument after another. There's no instinctive knowledge, instinct is one thing, knowledge is something else. Do you know what it means to be genetically programmed? That's simply saying the person is a biological machine, humans are not programmed, if so we all will have the same level of knowledge.

Geminita1:
Sorry but you are hopeless and deep down in your heart you know it. Remember all you are doing would come to naught, so in a real sense you are just wasting time. Your existence, ''progress'' makes no difference. Same as my judging you, whether i judge, condemn it doesn't matter anyway. The end is the same as the beginning, hopeless.

Reality11:


The chances to meet an atheist here in Nigeria is very very slim, even in the more secular western world where atheism is common what's the percentage of its adherent?

Then think of Nigeria the overall over religious capital of the world, lol what would the atheist population be? Only a small fraction I guess!

To add more to this, atheist here are not outspoken due to fear of stigmatization. Me in particular, I've been an atheist for over 10 years but not more than 5 persons know of it, in fact I've never meet an atheist offline all my life.

But the funny thing is that your neighbour might be an atheist too but you won't know due to the aforementioned

Beside I go to church sometimes, same with some atheist, agnostic, deist here. so it would to very hard to tell if one is or not.

janettee:


Yea from my experience, most white people are atheist. I understand how you must have felt.

Apination:

A belief system is not an ideology, that's something else entirely. A belief system involves principles or tenets on which a Philosophy, religion or Moral code is built on. What's the difference between saying there's no good and saying there's no proof for the existence of God? It's just change of language. Atheism is a belief system because it involves principles on which a certain belief is held.

Agnostic people do not deny the existence of God, but they cannot relate with Him on a personal level.
