Ishilove: If I can hide it from my parents and the holy spirit didn't reveal it to them, I don't think its difficult to hide it from you. And you didn't answer the other part of the question. Like he was a christian as at when you got married and for some strange reasons, turned an atheist. What will you do? 1 Like |

As always, the Christian Crusaders with their hoighty-toighty ignorant and arrogant attitude fail to make sense. All I can see are inane ramblings and rantings of myopic, half-baked religious followers whose arguments fall like a pack of cards when faced with a superior intellect. You mean to tell me of all the billions of galaxies and planets in the Universe, your Jewish God by-passed other races and picked out a Jew to save all of mankind? You see the reason why there can never be world peace? 11 Likes |

Damn,Op you are lucky o,you have the best mum in the world...No sane parents will want to see their wards perishing like that. I am a christain and if Jesus tarries my children are gonna be christains from their mother's womb(like someone said),bcus right from the womb,i will be feeding them with prayers and d Word of God=thats what most parents dnt knw... As a parents,if any of my children forsake Jesus(God forbid) and embrace one 'spagetti mosquito',then i have failed,as a parent. What your mother needs to do now is to leave you and PRAY HARD...we are in a spiritual welfare. |

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! You seriously need Jesus. You think your flawed human reasoning is all there is in life, well let me bring you to reality, it isn't. Jesus is the alpha and the omega of existence. The sooner you realise this the sooner you will find peace and meaning in life. |

chronique: To everyone who says there is no God: all I need y'all to do is to prove to me how man was created/came into existence. If you can tell me how man's flesh was made,how your respiratory system was designed,how your brain was programmed,how the concept of blood being the soul of a man,was achieved,etc;I'd believe there's no God. It's only a fool that will claim He knows for sure,and can give you adequate info on what happened in a place He has never been to. It's only a fool that will come out and contradict historical events that occurred before his/her birth. It's only a fool that will wake up and say a way of life that has been observed by thousands of generations in the past,is false,without giving concrete evidences to prove it. You cannot explain how you came into existence,yet you claim there's no creator or God? Smh. The difference between the fool and the wise is that,the wise will believe there's God,only to find out at the end that there is no God. But the foolish will assume there's no GOD,only to discover at the end,that there is a God that created heaven and earth. I won't claim knowledge to these details but evolutionary biologists in many fields from botany to zoology are working such out. What you do is what religions usually do over time ? See a gap and ascribe it to God. Such thinking gets you nowhere which is developed nations with many atheist work, and a religious Nigeria thrives on superstition and corruption. 2 Likes |

Pls God is using your mom to give you one more chance; pls & pls open up your heart. Faith is now; salvation is today; Jesus loves you! Well, I could give a few reasons why there may not be a god or any gods for that matter. As you are a Christian, let's kick it in with Jehovah, if you don't mind: 1) In the stories, he destroyed Ba'al & all her worshippers & burned down Soddom & Gomorah for their sins...in real life, he has done absolutely nothing to fight Allah or Buddha nor has he destroyed Las Vegas or any sin city!! 2) In the stories, he created the rainbow as a pact with man not to destroy the world with water again...in rea life, rainbows have been seen on planet Mars! Does Yahweh have a pact going on with some aliens there too? 3) In the stories, he tests his best friend Abraham's faith by demanding him to sacrifice his only son...With common sense, if Yahweh is omnipotent as supposed, why would he need such test to confirm his friend's faith? 4) In the stories, he demands the Hebrews to invade Canaan & to perpetuate genocide on the indeginous populations...By today's standards, Moses, Aaron & Joshua, the Hebrew leaders, would have been tried at the ICJ & hanged as criminals! Ultimately, to answer why there may not be a god? The best answer may be to ask you, why should there be a god? 3 Likes |

Okija_juju: Welcome home to atheism then, my dear brother. To hasten your step out of that "god" thing, consider discontinuing usage of the English generic word "god" which can refer to any god or group of deities & insist on addressing these gods by their individual known names. You will soon see more clearly the futility of holding dear to religious notions of deity. |

Just like Buddha rightly said : believe nothing,question everything even if i told you. Everyone has an opinion,including Jesus,doesn't mean they are right. Make use of your common sense, that is why you are human. OP you need to follow your own path,not your mum's. She has her path,you have yours. 2 Likes |

Alfa Seltzer: op, I think that whatever you decide, your mum will eventually die one day anyway. My mum has tried this approach with me severally but has now accepted that this is my opinion. Just yesterday, my wife was in tears in attempt to force church into my 2014 resolutions. A few bosses & colleagues at work has tried to talk (& also threaten) me back to religion. Some neighbours discontinued every interaction with me on this matter. I am not obstinate nor am I just stiff-necked. I have clearly explained my position to everyone I encounter. Which is that "a human being is responsible for ALL his acts". At any rate, most people who have disagreed with my opinion have had cause to respect me for my humane & caring behaviour. And that includes my wife who is a worker in her church but wouldn't ever consider to leave me for any of those brothers in the lord! Some brothers they really are as a pastor Fatoyinbo comes to mind immediately!! 1 Like |
