you see, your confusion still reeks , I didn't say religion, I said RELIGIOUS GROUPS. Christians are different from these because of our encounter with Christ. religious groups only worship their deities from vagueness. But when you get close to Jesus Christ you will know what a LIVING God is

Definite religion. Define Christianity.

Kai madam Dolemite you no try 4 us jare. Are you trying to say that statistically speaking most of my atheist brothers wooh-wooh? Explain yourself o. These are the kind of statements make me check display picture. You hot no be small sha.

A true christian won't marry an atheist. They think we're all blind fools. And again, our own atheist bible says "do not be unequally yorked with believers" tongue. Thinkam, there will be a lot of clashes, eg child rearing, what will you teach your kids, creationism or big bang/abiogenesis? Bigotry or freethinking?

Atheists using big big words they cannot articulate. I'm interested in knowing what exactly you wish to teach your kids about abiogenesis. Even biology professors are not wasting time with such a subject.

Definite religion. Define Christianity.
according to Wikipedia : Christianity (from the Ancient Greek word
Χριστός, Christos, a translation of the Hebrew
מָשִׁיחַ , Māšîăḥ, meaning "the anointed one", [1]
together with the Latin suffixes -ian and -itas )
is an Abrahamic , monotheistic [2] religion
based on the life and oral teachings of Jesus
of Nazareth as presented in the New
Testament . Christianity is the world's largest
religion , [3][4] with approximately 2.2 billion
adherents, known as Christians . [5][6][7][8]
Most Christians believe that Jesus is the Son
of God , fully divine and fully human , and the
saviour of humanity whose coming was
prophesied in the Old Testament.
Consequently, Christians refer to Jesus as
Christ or the Messiah .

But you can experience true Christianity when you have personal relationship with Christ

I personally wouldn't probably teach them that. Sunday school with its stories/tales is kinda cute, I had a swell time there grin Maybe they'll go, maybe not...but for me parenthood is a long shot away so I think I have enough time to figure what kind of things I want to teach my children. The most important thing I think is to groom them to have an open thinking mind of their own. To know both sides of the story and choose which one makes the most sense to them. Once they can make their own decision and they choose to be Christians, voila! If Buddhists, great! Atheists, fine!

What do you teach your kids davidylan?

I'm not sure what all the rambling is about. You mentioned abiogenesis as one of the things to teach your kids, i asked you what exactly you intend to tell them about that and you're here telling me about cute sunday school stories? I think many of you younger "atheists" are simply unserious and intellectually lazy. You have no idea what theories you subscribe to other than the fact that you think someone smarter than you parrots them too.

Let's not run ahead of ourselves here. It was a part of a question I was asking someone else. I didn't explicitly say I was going to teach my kids anything as you're implying. Neither abiogenesis or "cute sunday school stories". About the being lazy and unserious, speaking for myself though (and not necessarily representing all younger atheists), I'd say I'm still learning and investigating stuff with an open mind, without yet drawing definitive conclusions about most things, and if you term that as intellectual laziness, well then.

I'd still be in the secure coziness of Christianity if the bible made the most sense.

Again, I ask, what do you teach your own kids (if you have any)?

Dolemite: As an atheist can you marry a Christian, especially those of you in Nigeria where most people are religious, when I was a Christian we were warned never to be yoked with unbelievers, and it's hard to find a good looking guy who isn't a Christian, when you tell them you're a non believer they look at you like a devil worshiper. grin

P.S
Does anyone know if Seun Osewa is a believer? because I'm really digging him right now. grin grin kiss kiss

It is not just about two people co-existing, rather it is a statement you are making about yourself as a Christian and how your religion governs your relationship with other people of different faiths and convictions.

Obviously yes, ow can I board the same boat with one when we headed different direction? There is bound to be conflict.

Just take a look at nature.
Sameness means regression. Diversity means progress. This is manifest in biology, physics, chemistry, psychology and sociology.

Nature favors opposites and diversity.

Infact I can make the argument that the reason sub-sahara Africa lagged behind in progress was because we late in infusion of variety and diversity into our civilizations.

Therefore, your bible is wrong on that count.

Hey man, we talking about marraige, spending the rest of ur life with someone?

Re: Mr/miss Atheist Can You Marry A Christian? by ooman(m): 3:13pm On Sep 23, 2014
People mistake their belief or lack of it for who they really are... religion does not determine the success of a relationship. America has about 95% religious population (only about 5% are atheist/irreligious/agnostic) and still, 50% of marriages end in divorce. That's greater than the total number of all nonbelievers in the country.

What determines success of a relationship is the people involved. So in the end, it doesn't matter if one is an atheist and the other is a believer in some sort of god when it comes to marriages.

Some religious ladies are just good in all aspects (including in bed), some around me knows about my atheism and they don't care. I can definitely pick anyone of those.......
