Hi thread; just need an input from you all, at what age did you really realise as an adult, religion and superstitious doesn't put food on the table, but the work of your hands? That in fact they are only ideologies sold to cover for the ignorance of humans. For me I'll say 26/7 , at 28 I understood better. I'm 32 now. What about you? 3 Likes |

Madibah:Evidently, the more knowledge you get, the more it relegates religion and superstition to its rightful place of irrelevance; as you answer those ignorance religion had covered you begin to shift it to where it belongs... Not surprised bro, since u mentioned knowledge being imparted to u.. welldone. 2 Likes |

Thinking they are wise they become fools says the scripture. Life isn't just about food on the table. Knowledge that does not reveal the creator is seriously deficient. 1 Like |

AT AGE 7, I REALIZED NOTHING MADE SENSE TO ME. THE NEXT TEN YEARS I FORCED MYSELF TO PRETEND THAT I UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS GOING ON JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. BUT SINCE REALITY CAN'T LIE, I HAD TO EMBRACE WHAT I WAS SINCE I WAS A CHILD. AN UNBELIEVER OF NONSENSICAL SUPERSTITIONS. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

At age18 I started having doubts, especially when my prayers weren't answered, irrespective of how devoted and how strong my faith was. But by 19, I was convinced I no longer believed in religion or imaginary beings 2 Likes |

properties4sale: I was about 8years old when God did a visible miracle in the house i lived. Before then i used to hear about God doing miracles pretty much like everyone else. Didn't have to think much about it though since i probably didn't need one or didn't think i needed one. But there was this relative of mine who needed one obviously because one of her legs was shorter than the other. She was using crutches or special shoes. Then she was taken to church(though not the first time) and came back with her obvious miracle. It didn't make me any more or less serious but it was something i evidently witnessed in my own house. It was years later on before i took God serious. And of course, i have continued to see His faithfulness in my life and in many other lives. Luckily for me, i have always known that religion does not put food on tables. We have always been taught the value and importance of the works of our hands. i also grew up in a setting where pastors and other MOGs had their proper secular work. 1 Like |

9jamustchange: If life isn't about that, why do you folks go to church every Sunday, praying for these same things like your lives depends on it? The rich prays for good health and long life. The average and poor pray for wealth and food. Sadly, it still doesn't work. Religion is useless when it comes to the everyday needs of man. 3 Likes |

properties4sale: it is religious to eat, masturbate, penetrate, work, play etc why because you can not escape doing certain things continuously which is the meaning of religion. |

Angelnath: I am always baffled and thankful when I see that people really hung on to every word and acts of their pastor rather than on the word of God. Therefore, they stopped listening to their pastors and then they say that they are giving up on religion. You are not given up on religion, and you can not but you have rather given up on listening to your pastor.. All these while they still do not read the Bible, anyway I understand, "the Bible"burns" them when they read it, which is why they are dependent on someone else who may have read it, to tell them what it says. |

Dtruthspeaker:@Dtruthspeaker one thing i know is the church was actually created to build the weak in spirit but our religious leader has splundered that. No difference btw our pastors nowadays and the pharisees of jesus time. |

I was 23 when I started questioning the teachings of Christianity. I later decided to experiment by praying to a pole in my street. Everyday, I'll go and pray to this pole, amazingly, my prayer came to pass. At that point, i realized that if i pray to God and it doesn't come to pass, I'll say, God knows best, if it did come to pass, I'll praise God. I applied this same strategy to the pole and got the same results. "Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool" Mark Twain 3 Likes |

Judybash93: That is what we mean when we say that God is Good and He is Not Just Good but What we evil.people call Too Good! He is so Good that He even oftentimes grants the requests of those who Hate Him, even if they do not ask of Him. No Man has ever done that and No man will ever Ever Do it Purely! So you evil people can never say that you did not enjoy the goodness of the Lord. You All verily Did! |
