Me, I am sold out to Jesus and I have my peace. Religion is bondage as Jesus didn't ask Christians to be religionists!

Thank God you knew and confessed you were under religion before. There is difference between being under religion and being under the truth of God's word. I know your plight. The truth is, everyone under the shackles of religion will someday leave religion and receive the light of God's word.

Yet there are few who the stronghold of religion has successfully derailed and claimed to have left God because of this afterwards. Actually it's from dark to dark, just a change of direction. False teaching in the name of Religion share so much in common as Athiesm especially in Nigeria. They are driven by same ideology, but in opposite direction.


Hence, I am glad to tell you this, that there is the truth of God's word you were never exposed to, even though you have been exposed to the Bible under religion. I pray it surely come, even though it may tarry, the light will come.


Let me copy my distance Brother MaxInDHouse.

Nice one, OP. But I advise you live wisely if you're based in Nigeria because religious people in this country can make one's life a living hell for being a freethinker.

There is this sense of freedom that comes when you free yourself from the shackles of organized religion, you live your life the way you want and not according to the dictates of some hypocritical fellows , you get to see the world differently and see how you have wasted precious time practicing religion.

Truth is there are principle that governs this our world, learn them and put them into practice and you will live a happy and successful life.

And as they say successful is relative, what is success for me may not be your own success, know your own success and work to achieve it.

I wish you the best

Ever wondered that the same people that brought this religion to us are the same people that enslaved our forefathers

Well thinking about the whole thing was how I broke free from religion and I am glad I did

Lol!
Christianity is religion. Those who follow Jesus Christ are members of Christianity.
Therefore Jesus followers are religious people.

There is nothing wrong with being religious. It’s a good thing. I am proud to be a follower of Jesus Christ. I know I can be called a religious person. There is no negative connotation with it.

What the Bible condemns is hypocritical acts in the name of religion. Or impure religion. Or being religious and not helping other humans in need of help.

The pictures and your talk about science and technology are laughable. Is science another name for atheism or skepticism or godlessness?

Is it possible for you to defend your worldview without hiding behind science and technology?

Are you aware that the surgery would have had theists or Christians among them? What does that tell you about your post and claims ?

What exactly happened?
Why did you believe in religion before? What informed your convictions then?

Why did your opinions change now? Can you let us discuss it ?

Yes, there are many surgeons who are religionists but none of them operate on patients successfully by only praying.

They do so by applying the principles and concepts in medical science and technology.

That means, having belief in a god and praying is of no use to any surgeon, whether religious or not, to operate successfully. All that's required is to follow the principles of medical science and technology.

These principles don't require a belief in a god or prayers to work.

Your argument is on science and God and not on prayer and science. Stop committing category errors.

Science and God aren’t alternatives.
Science never made such claims.
Only humans like you who would like to speak for science will make such bogus claims.

Again, is atheism or skepticism same as science?

Why would most skeptics erroneous hide behind science arguments to talk about their godlessness? That’s wrong. Or perhaps you are ashamed of your skeptical worldview that you can’t even defend it without hiding behind science ? Or maybe you have no reasons to back up your worldview?

Science and skepticism or atheism aren’t synonyms.

And who told you they're synonyms? But skepticism (questioning things) is a key part of science.

Or you don't know that?

Then, when talking about God, you need to mention the specific one you're referring to because there are over 5000 of Gods in history with different traits.

And who's speaking for science? Is science a human to be spoken for?

Go through the content of the pictures again and tell me the specific points you're making. Because so far, I've not seen any.

No, it's not possible. What made me stick with the worldview of agnosticism is science, philosophy, and history.

Christianity can stand on its own.
Theism can stand on its own.
Arguments for Christian or theistic views can be made on their own.
Christians and other theists are also scientists.

Thus being a Christian doesn’t alienate one from being a scientist.

It therefore implies that science didn’t make you agnostic or atheistic.

You don’t really know why you are a skeptic, do you? Lol

By the way science, philosophy and history are extensively studied by Christians. Philosophy is the bedrock of religion.

Again , why are you leaning on subjects that are denominators for all men to argue for your skepticism.

Can you just for once tell me why you have your worldview without saying science.

You are already loosing track so soon.
And who told you Christians do not question things?

Why would you ask me about specifics when my response mentioned Christianity severally?
Stop leaning on science and defend your worldview on its own for once.

Tell me exactly what science said about God. If you can’t, then I conclude you are the one speaking and not science
