Reyginus: Google is your friend. I don't like engaging in religious arguments with minds that has been programmed with one book or another. |

plaetton: [b]That's not true. The female poets may not be that popular like the men, but there are quite a number of them. At least I have about 3 of them as friends on the most popular social media hub. But we are talking about poetry in Islam and not Islamic female poets. Just incase you're not satisfied with what I am saying and would want to argue further, here is a piece of poem by a Muslim lady, her name is Jenne Zaghloul (a Convert) and her poem is tagged "I am a Muslim Woman" I am a Muslim woman Feel free to ask me why When I walk, I walk with dignity When I speak I do not lie I am a Muslim woman Not all of me you'll see But what you should appreciate Is that the choice I make is free I'm not plagued with depression I'm neither cheated nor abused I don't envy other women And I'm certainly not confused Note, I speak perfect English Et un petit peu de Francais aussi I'm majoring in Linguistics So you need not speak slowly I run my own small business Every cent I earn is mine I drive my Chevy to school & work And no, that's not a crime! You often stare as I walk by You don't understand my veil But peace and power I have found As I am equal to any male! I am a Muslim woman So please don't pity me For God has guided me to truth And now I'm finally free! There are countless of them, just because you don't know one does not mean they don't exist. Even little Malana (I hope she forgives me for calling her that) writes and speak poetry (though I can't find any now, not as if all poetry are written). Lastly, the religion is not aversive, just that they are mostly conservative. Permit me to ask, have you listened to there songs or you are just basking on your perception about them? [/b] 2 Likes |

ireneony2: Actually, my post is based on the premise of Seun's assertion that religious rules make people unhappy. I just expanded his principle for him in a way he will understand. The standards that religion sets is for the adherents to determine if they want to abide by not a certain person called Seun to tell us whether or not it makes us happy. |

Acidosis: And you claim to be educated? It was at the emboldened I stopped reading your tripe. For you, the History of your people sarted with the advent of the colonialist and life became better for you with the European incursion. Many of us know, prior to the period of renaissance, scientific revolution and industrial revolution on Europe - there were no 'universities' or any social or political or economic progress. When Europe began to question religion & shed religion then it began to grow astronomically in all spheres. Europe had long dropped religion from the top of its head to the sole of its feet before bringing it to you in Africa. They gave you: I. Religion to distort your mind & whip you in line. A foreign religion that condemns the ways of its adoptors not onl creates dividion amongs them but create a personal conflict of self hate where we see anything natural to us prior to foreign religion as an abomination. II Education to further help you think in line of how they want you to not how you want to. European education do not necessarily add value to Africans; look at languages fast dying & look at supposed science graduates who have, after 50 years of university presence, are unable to invent anything but wait on Europe. Why? It is an European education designed along the lines of European language(s) which makes for easier understanding for them but creates confusion & struggle for those here. Ever wondered why Japa n & China took the system and flipped it in their respective languages? The two factors above are tools of conditioning. Rather than give Africa a level of renaissance they had considering the many developments (poiticsl., economic & social) in Africa already, they set us backto their own pre-renaissance years --- lookat Africa in shambles. As for deityworship & killings, you may want to flip through earpy European history. 3 Likes 1 Share |

ireneony2: People can be very nice to anyone for different reasons . Only a true christian can be munificent for the right reasons .
God is the source of morality , without God everything is permitted Christians, Muslims, jews are outspoken. Pls allow atheist to voice her opinion. A rabid atheist is worse than a fanatical religious person . History does not lie Atheism is falsehood - promulgating lies can be very deleterious to the society .

naijababe: Nigerians and bandwagons. Seems atheism is the new wagon in town. The most irritating thing about atheists is the sheer arrogance. If they are way smart than us why don't they prove to us that there is no God, instead of asking us to prove that there is a God. Or atleast they should go and invent a new drug or technology or something to help humanity instead of parading around like the greatest minds around. |

KingEbukasBlog: You are a local embarrassment that still denies that christianity was brought to Nigeria through our colonial slavemasters- the British. The very british that have thrown most of their christianity in the dustbin 1 Like |
Re: Every Nigerian Atheist Should Be Outspoken by KingEbukasBlog(m): 8:24pm On Aug 14, 2016 |
JackBizzle: Ignorance ! Christianity was brought to Nigeria by the Portuguese not the British . The Britons only took part in slave trade for 300 years - this ended in the 1700s . They became fully involved with Nigeria from the 19th century . Do you know that Africans enslaved the Europeans too during the Barbary Slave trade ? Britain has been with Christianity for close to 2,000 years and only became arguably non religious in 2016 . This means that deists are preponderant in Britain . Only 7 - 10 percent of Europe's population are atheists . Let this sink in . Take your time |

ValentineMary:I don't understand. How can one believe that the believe there's God is false but still say she's not sure there's no God? Or isn't this the definition of atheism according to Wikipedia correct? 'Atheism is, in the broadest sense, the absence of belief in the existence of deities. Less broadly, atheism is the rejection of belief that any deities exist' How can one reject the existence of a statement that something exists but still say that he's not sure of what he's saying? Isn't that a logical contradiction? 3 Likes 2 Shares |
