braithwaite:lol.you are talking about the utopian home.in a real chritian family your parents religion is your religion whether you like it or not.if they see you want to think out of the box they'll use threats,emotional blackmail and psychological abuse to make you comply as long as you're still living under their roof and they're the ones paying your school fees Solution live the kind of life they want you to live. If it's to go to church every day go,iF its to dress like a spirikoko dress it.when you finally get a job and move out live the life you want to live and if they start making noise give it to them back because They have nothing which They can use to force you into a life that you don't want 2 Likes 1 Share |

@op, what really motivate you to be Atheist? i believe that you are still a young man, first of have that conviction of what you believe and what you don't believe. You have to weigh your parent religion and if there anything you can learn. You have to be careful of what you believe. For me God is still in the business of saving lives. Talking from experience. I don't think your parent will lead you wrongly |

Greenbullet:I'm a Christian by choice and not because My parents forced their religion down my throat but I can say some Christians aggressive behaviours and utterances while preaching and using hell as threats has made atheist. You should worship God because of your conviction and not because you don't want to go to hell Secondly I had a friend who was telling me that her father was a pastor of xyz church and her mom an envangelist.They forced her to be in the choir against her wish as a child. When she became more matured and older with a source of income she was still in the choir but was looking for a way to quit because she saw a lot of hypocrisy going on. So on a faithful Sunday she was supposed to be the lead chorister and all of a sudden the assistant pastor snatched the microphone from her hands saying she cannot stand on a holy pulpit to sing with painted nails and lipstick. That was when she got angry,went to her sit,picked up her bags and left. Right at the altar.her mother ran after her demanding explanations of what went on there. She called the mother's bluff,went home packed het stuffs and left.if you see het you can never say she's a pastor's daughter and she's an atheist Bottom line is that extremism and force used by religious parents often make their kids end up as atheists Especially When They discover the hypocrisy that goes on in the church. If a child is allowed to choose his religion and think outside THE box I'm telling you he will be more dedicated and passionate about his religion Religion isn't something you can force on a child. The child will only pretend for a while to satisfy you and rebel when you can't force him again Therefore personal conviction ANd good character will influence him to become a Christian rather than force and emotional abuse |

Elohim1: Call it an expansion of energy or whatever you want, however, alternative nomenclature does not make it an endothermic phenomenon, rather anything that lets out energy (as is the case with energy expansion here) is an exothermic phenomenon and is normally associated with blast or explosions. And believe me, any expansion that has to bring about change, a change like establishment of new life can never be endothermic, such energy can never be contained by anything whatsoever, so we are left with the only option of the energy expansion (as you term it) being an exothermic phenomenon which in turn is not acceptable scientifically or logically because an energy of a magnitude of such that can bring about life is simply impossible, if it was, its products I.e man, should be able to withstand an energy of trillions of degrees of heat which is a form of energy , just one of the forms of energy itself!. It is funny how a person that does not understand something as simple as the principle of physics approve of the disputed "big bang theory' and oh, last time I checked, 'bang' actually means explosion and not expansion. |

Atheists or those questioning their faith are usually advised to keep their status secret while they are still dependent on their parents or other family members. You should not reveal your preference/status from a point of view which puts those you depend upon on the defensive. Don't even try to create religious arguments if the result is to prove them wrong immediately. Always start with simple, non argumentative questions, learn about their stance. If they appear to be dogmatic, be extra careful. If OP isn't dependent on his/her parents, no need to worry. Stop arguing religion with them, stop making fun of them if you are, instead, start asking questions (smart questions that makes them feel like you really want to learn) and listen to what they have to say. Tell them you will think about it and do. You don't need to come back with something that makes them look foolish, instead, point out that their point may be valid but non universal, etc, and put in your own experience and why you have your own views. Don't argue, strive for peace. If OP is still dependent however, keep things on the down low. If you've told them they are wrong, misinformed etc, apologise. Tell them you are sorry and would love to learn about their perspectives but that you won't like to be forced to accept what they believe without giving you explanations on why they believe it and time to consider their explanations. If they tell you that the bible or Quran is the only proof they need, don't argue. Tell them about the history of how books like the bible and Quran were written, the oral traditions and time lags, the difficulties in translation, the differences in opinion/translation and tell them that is why you have trouble believing it immediately. If they are smart parents who are capable of learning, they will understand and also try to learn why you think the way you do. If they are dogmatic however, shut up, participate in non-harmful events they force you to, bide your time, and one day, you'll be independent and free to do what you like. 4 Likes 1 Share |

only a stupidly ignorant person will find himself in a place and not want to know how it was created. it's just like going into a room, you find a Tv, you successfully turned it on, then you study the remote well to learn other functions, without giving a thought to know how that TV got there. no matter how you see christianity or the bible, it is the only proof that come close enough towards explaining the existence of human and the world as whole, or do you believe in the theory that says the early man and animals EVOLVED(4real nigga?) into what they are today? BS!! the bible is older than your great grandmother, world renown scientist and everyone in the world today. so who are you to say God doesn't exist and what makes you even qualified to say such? what do you know about creation? what do you know about death? have you even read through your Bible form Genesis to Revelation? how far have you researched to find out the truth for yourself? Nothing! Nothing!! Nothing!!! Atheists( especially Nigerians) are the most ignorant people i've ever seen. most of them don't want to know about what happens beyond them, all they want to know is what is happening around them and they give you that "Let's face reality" BS, without considering that the only thing actually REAL in this world Is DEATH. yes, death! that empty being right there is the true state of man. No life, no memory of his kids, doesn't know he has a company, doesn't even he once wedded a woman named Lola and has a kid named Ada. Everything wiped away! |
