Shaattaap is Buddhism a Religion? Mark said Religion is important which is him distancing himself from Buddhism. Try again

claremont:
As an atheist, I consider religion to be as important to the believer as opium is important to the drug addict. Religion gives the believers hope, and without it, they believe they would lack direction in their lives.

So, yes, I agree with MZ in saying that religion is very important.

MrMontella:

dude...not an atheist...

2) i did not leave christianity because of laxities nowadays...im not like you who doesnt know history

3)i do not claim ominiknowest..i never do..
Ironically..it is you christians who do so

4)decieve yourself atheists do not dare muslims....its because you do not research...
Unlike you i research...

Au revior'

felixomor:


Bros, its not really "laxity"

Many of them became atheists to justify their sin and fornications.
They dont want to feel the burdens of always asking God for forgiveness.

So they look for every possible reason to deny God
They even go as far as denying the supernatural.

They become desperate.
Many of them force themselves to believe theory of evolution. Anything goes.

Smh

hopefulLandlord:


I don't know any Nairalander that became atheist because of Zuckerberg

MrMontella:

this is ludicrous..

Even the ''gods'' would be amazed!

Buddhism is what then?

A system of government?

randomperson:

So Mark is a Christian.... Because that's the only way the orga.sm u are having right now makes sense. So is he a Christian

ZoneBslayer:

who is Dawkins? can't YOU think and reason for yourself dammit! one doesn't need a book to realise that man was put here by design and NOT by random dumb luck! Infact the more one delves into science and the wonders of nature, you will realise the absurdity of atheism...

4everGod:


Religion is very important but when asked if he is an atheist he said NO. So on that i agree with MZ

ZoneBslayer:

exactly.. they don't want to be held responsible for their actions..the only way to satisfy their lusts is to pledge allegiance to a rebellious cause.. but deep in their soul they know..

hopefulLandlord:


may I ask why you wanna become one?

AngelsAndStars:
it does t really matter.

I was once an "atheist" too so I know how it feels. you cannot beat God.

like I said, atheists are just angry with the religious description of God.

am religious but I don't believe in most attributes of God presented by religion.

think about it

MrMontella:

hopefulLandlord:


can you read?

felixomor:


U just made baseless claims.
Some people here were even disowned by their parents because of Christianity.

Try again.
I can feel ur pain.

Padipadi:

Waka pass. We don hear you. You ll still come back to your senses.
I know history & the greatest reason an atheist can give. But I don't blame you cos Revelations predicted your endtime actions.

claremont:


Why is the religious/non-religious persuasion of a man you have never met important to you guys?!

You should be more worried about how religion in Nigerua correlates with corruption.

DangotePikin:
Seun, amokeme, feran15, kingebukasblog, ishilove

Padipadi:

all those confused guys you mentioned there are not 100% atheists. Most were even raised as Christians including Seun. But because of some laxities in Christianity nowadays which was caused by allowing sin to roam in the Church, those confused wannabe atheists now form ominiknowest on Nairaland confusing the ignorant ones in their religion to be disobedient to God. Especially to Christians. The most annoying thing is they don't dare Muslims because they know those ones can be violent to them

WestAfricanGoon:


Okay. I don't understand how your statement negates any claim I have just made.. Are you trying to say the number of Christians in Nigeria today who of their own volition and free thought became Christians are more than those born into the religion? You cannot even compare.

4everGod:


There are only 2 options.

Either he has returned to Judaism or he is now a theist. Either way is good because Judaism is a step away from Christianity which means he is now open to the light of Gods word and can find his way to him easier unlike atheism which denies God in every way.

He is one step from Christianity and 10 trillion steps from atheism. Go figure!

Curb your enthusiasm.
Now let's dissect his reply religiously.

He *was* raised Jewish is different from he's presently Jewish.

We were all raised Christians or Muslims in this clime, but here we are, some are atheists while some Muslims are now Xtians and vice versa.

He also said Religion is very important.

This is different from saying he believes in religion.
Religion is opium of the masses.
Thanks to religion, people who should revolt against the govt or even him out of anger are too busy going to Monday to Sunday church services or crying to their deities instead.
So you see, Religion is very important.lol

Now you've been enlightened.
But I can only show you to the door, it is up to you to enter.

hopefulLandlord:


you've not even read the book but you've already started making assumptions on what's in there

"design"? "dumb luck"?

4everGod:


You are so wrong!

Who attaches atheism or atheists here on nairaland to zuckerberg? They are the ones always identifying with him when it comes to listing atheist achievements like on this thread

https://www.nairaland.com/3403438/notable-atheists-achievements-undiluted

They are the ones who need to get their head checked and their low self esteem fixed.

hopefulLandlord:


nope you your previous comment shows how gods are made to fill gaps brought about by man's ignorance



I'm not competing against any god, maybe you were competing with a god when you were one but speak for yourself


that's generalisation again, atheists don't believe any god exists simple
your prerogative

think about it

you think about it

Edenoscar:


so how many jews have converted

felixomor:


Now u are manifesting chameleon behavior.

randomperson:

U are just grasping at straws here... How many people convert from Judaism to Christianity... There's even no reason to do that since Jews are more successful than Christians...
BTW, u always try to distance yourself from Judaism especially when we identify barbaric acts of your god in the old testament
