Yep!

There are many devils here eg LORDREED, TAMARATONYE1, JUDAS1X, KOBOJUNKIE, CHRYSSANTHE, and many high quality atheists.

Look at you. Running scared of your own shadow. We scare you, don't we? Atheists are your worst nightmare . That's why you sleep on Nairaland attacking atheists hoping one day they'll go away

Judas1X:

Hahahahahaha. The coward doesn't even have the balls to mention my moniker properly. I have now taken the liberty to correctly spell...

Dtruthspeaker:


Shows how 'little' I acknowledge that you guys exist!

Yeah it's so little that you're bitching behind their backs about how they're causing you pain. A grown man moaning about people who don't even bother with him

Slowly becoming an atheist? What are you slowing for? It is that slowly in the title that really interest me. You are either a believer or not, there is nothing like "slowly becoming". And when did going to church become a necessary and/or sufficient sign of belief in the supernatural. People go to church for a lot of reasons - from earning a living to hunting for the next victim. And if leaving the church has granted you a lot of freedom then you need to question your sanity in the first place. How did you wind up in a place called "church" where your life wasn't going well, huh? A lot of people attend cult gatherings but call it a church you know! But if indeed you left a bible believing church, I hope you will be courageous and morally upright enough to stick to your new found love for atheism when you hit a brick wall and all hope seems to be lost! Because na that time people dey like remember GOD the most.

Abegi leave story. I was facing potential death on the surgeon's table and I didn't once call on your Jewish deity, yet here I am. The vagaries of life are just that, vagaries. Some of the richest billionaires of this world are either atheist or agnostic so your Jewish deity has no influence on who thrives or not. LoLz.

efficiencie:


Well you've got a point there and I respect your opinion. Perhaps my Jewish deity has no influence whatsoever in your life and perhaps in your own lens there is no deity anywhere but even you will have to agree at some point that there are areas or aspects of life that have defied some of the best analytical minds. For example neurological researchers suggest that it is possible for you to be conscious even in a coma (https://www.sciencefocus.com/the-human-body/comas-conscious-communicate/) and there is this notion of "being trapped in one's body" which makes anyone question the nature of human existence, evolution and materialistic worldview. Now this is just one aspect of life. For some others they look back at their lives, see how ordered it is even though in their past moments their life seemed subject to un-directed random events. These persons tend to attribute that order in their life to the GOD they serve. Now people who are exposed to these aspects of life and its many questions are also subject to the same doubts as you only that they decided to believe in the possibility that the existence of a GOD somewhere could explain or provide answers to the many questions that they have. So in as much as I do not blame you for taking your stance in a world of uncertainty, I also expect you to understand why some others choose to believe.

LordReed:


I don't begrudge anyone their desire to believe in a Jewish or any other type of deity. What I will stand against though is bad ideas that are borne on belief such as the idea that a deity is required to thrive successfully in this world. That idea is nothing but bunkum. So believe all you want but if you try to spread bunkum I am gonna say no.

Ajay7411:
It's been a little over 4 years since I stopped going to church and my life has been going well as I got a lot of freedom and whatnot. As I'm now irreligious, atheism is slowly creeping in and I don't know what to do.

Lord of the Reed
Happy New Year.
Trust you have been good.

We re plenty in this group, someone re just hiding, pretending as all is well.

One ll go to church, instead of coming back holier, u ll go home worst.

MaxInDHouse:

It's because you lack accurate knowledge of God's word that's why you think the God of the Bible may not have influence on some people. For your information as long as a person wakes up each morning to have one thing or another with his/her fellow human the God of the Bible has influence on you!

Please tell me who amongst mankind is not working seriously to put food on his table?
Or who hasn't lost a loved on in death?
Or who doesn't feel the effects of religious activities around him or her? Genesis 3:19

For the fact that someone is here discussing about God alone is an indisputable evidence that the God of the Bible has influence in what he or she is doing because it costs you time, data and exerting of your brains to be here arguing about God!

When you leave God out of your mind he leaves you to a reprobate mind nothing looks bad to you again you will be free from your conscience

People define their perception based on their characteristics. No amount of debate will convince a blind who doesn't know that he is blind that the color of everything that exists is black. It doesn't matter how intelligently you convey your argument such a person will never "see" things the way you do. This is why I respect people's opinion when they are adamant. As for me I have my beliefs based on my experience through life and as far as the belief in the supernatural is concerned everyone's journey is unique to them.

efficiencie:


...but it is okay to spread your own "bunkum", right? That's unethical. Everyone has the right to promote what they believe to be true and it is up to others either denounce it or accept it. It is bunkum to you that a deity is needed to be "successful" in this world but in your reasoning you failed to realize that success is a very subjective term measured differently by different people over time. There are as many definitions of success as there are people if we were to allow for the nuanced realities of every individual faces over time. Some "successes" may be attributed to a "deity" somewhere while some others may not be. So you may have to rethink your position. However, I will always find it impossible to accept the random, undirected and unguided events led to the creation of all reality. This profoundly stupid idea is believed strongly by some of the smartest minds on the planet and they hold on to it religiously. How on earth will anyone be able to convince me that intelligence, information, order, space and time all resulted out of nothing by sheer accident and yet the people who hold this view find it absolutely appalling that some people believe that a highly intelligent super being was responsible for all reality.
