ndu_chucks: The idea that one stops believing that there is a God because one believes that God is cruel, is the dummest idea ever. If you believe that God allows bad things to happen to good people, and thus conclude that God does not exist, then you should be enlightened that believing that something does not exist, in of itself, confirms the existence of such a thing.

Conclusion: you must be a lazy mumu who decides that God does not exist because your analysis, done, with your limited brain, is fundamentally flawed.

I can't believe a thinking human presented this as an Argument!!

mazaje:

Why do you keep telling lies, the one and only true god is allah. . .Believe in him and his last messenger mohammed or perish, you are own your own. . .if you need more information go get a copy of the words of allah(the koran) and be his slave. . .Don't say i didn't warn you about the impending danger you will face when you die for not accepting the only true religion and revelation that was given to mankind. . .. . .
mohammed ko, abdulahi ni. I hate mohammed, i hate his life. He was a womaniser, he could not control his sexual drive. His life is not different from a thugs. Thats y i'm sure he is burning in hell, unless of course he accepted Jesus before his mysterious death. angry

My advice:

1. Attend new comers and believers class
2. Attend baptismal class
3. Read the bible, attend bible classes and sunday services

Ask Jesus to come and take control of your life.

And see how God would manifest greatly upon your life. .

Then you would realise, that God has given you the greatest mum on earth. .

Kneel down, take a moment, forget who you were, just concentrate on nothing, let nothing fill your mind, close your eyes and meditate on each words you'll be saying. Start by telling GOD that you're sorry for living the way you have been living, that you're sorry and will like to know Him and serve Him. Tell Him that you didnt grow up to learn to pray to Him, or study the Bible, or believe in Him but you're ready to do all of that now. Say "JESUS, you are the way, the truth and the light please come into my life and change me for good. I repent of my past mistakes, teach me your way and prove to me that you are GOD" say the prayer by faith, for He is the GOD that answers prayer. In your heart, be ready to accept Christ and His teaching, the HOLY SPIRIT help you. Attend a true church as the Deeper Life Bible Church. It'll help you. I wish you the very best. I thank GOD for using your mum to make you realise your stance. GOD bless you

@OP;

Of course I believe your mum has a reason for believing there's a God which she wants you to see and she's not 'deluded' as atheists see theists.

Since you have once been a theist and you did not see those reasons/find them worthy, I think you should not just pretend to be one because it is of no use and besides, it won't make a difference perhaps, it will make things worse in the long-run
.


@ other Atheists,
I think you haven't still understood the concept of a God who wasn't created but created all things.



P.S.
Atheists, Open a thread and invite me for a dialogue.

GeneralShepherd: Since I officially dumped the idea of a god, I haven't seen my parents. I went home this christmas,it was a wonderful holiday for me,little did I know my mum was hurting deep down inside!

She called me today being the 1st of January 2014 and started telling me how she asked Yahweh to give her a son after she had four girls(who are all married) which He did according to her. She told me how she has barely slept most nights in the pasy year because of my atheism. Also said it might lead her to her early grave if I continue living without god.

My dilemma is I can't pretend about god and the bible,yet I don't want my mum to die or have sleepless nights! When people read the bible the smile on face shows I don't believe any of it, when I try to pray I feel like I'm mad talking to myself or like a kid talking to Barney and friends!

How do I undo what has been done! How do I unknow what I know about god and religion? How do I ignore the inconsistencies?

I love my mum so much and will gladly become a sheeple for her to be happy

God loves you and there is no sin that He cannot forgive hence He gave His begotten Son, Jesus to die for you and me.

If you love your mum as you prophecy, please submit yourself to God and He will give you an EVERLASTING Joy that NOBODY can take away.

PAGAN 9JA:
OP convert to Traditional Religion and tell your mother to be initiated as well.

She can continue serving God.

The only difference is that she will be doing so in her language.
Excellent advice!

Re: My Atheism And Its Effect On My Mum! by redsun(m): 9:36pm On Jan 04, 2014
We all have different realities that we call life at every given time of our lives.Yours mum's is totally opposite of yours and both of you seems to get on with it and she is been inconsiderate or rather delusional in african style,i don't mean to be rude,to think that being dogmatically religious is the only way to salvation.

You got to make her understand the truth and freedom of self belief and free thinking.She has been schooled to think that jesus is the only way and nobody seems to prove to her other wise that it is not true.We know know better than our parents most times and it is our responsibility to educate them.

You didn't even need too tell her what you believe,all you need to do is just try to get along with her as much as you can as a capable son.Prove to her that there is freedom and joy in self belief.

you must know that biblical sentences are constructed in ambiguity. Jesus is Lord, in him is no darkness or confusion. He is in fact, God. Yes!!
