What's Your First Thought When You Hear Someone Say They Atheist? by Nobody: 8:26pm On Jun 07, 2015
Have been atheist since back in day I discovered the truth about religion,its relevance, irrelevance and why its been institutionalized into human race,human life and human co-existence.

I'm gonna try as much as possible not to disrespect or bash the believers or their acceptance of religion because I was once one when I was young and dumb but prior to a curious and empirical fact seeking mind I possess,have been able to outgrow the religion phase of my life some years back.

That been said,As a proud atheist which I am,I carry myself with that attitude like seeing myself as been different, wherever and whenever the roll call is been taken,at any gathering am present in. Now,being atheist is almost synonymous as you being a student of life with no acceptance of the metaphysical or supreme being,keeping an open mind to learn about you and man co-existence but in the school of life,there isn't graduation,according to Henry Ford,"man begins to die the day he stops learning". So,to get to where am at,I sacrificed things like no sleep,reading whatever I laid my hands on and staying open minded. Right,As proud atheist that I am I tell it to whomever tries to slam their religion down my throat or in the middle of discussions affiliating to religion stories and theirs looks, response would tell me they feel irritated by it and in most case start to question my faith,origin and wanting to know more about me like I was some rapper off the chain who just sold 5million LP copies in just one week.
One time,I had an argument with a pastor in school(uniben) after I admitted being atheist and I was shock after out talking him intelligently,he said,he's tired of his pastoring work,he don't get money but only gifts like suits,bibles,olive oil e.t.c and am like dang! people are crazy and till date,he still blow up my phone for us to talk more about religion and its shortcoming.I also get pissed off looks from other people but I don't like it get to me.
So house what's yours?

Here is a country that is full of hypocrites. you rarely see people admitting they are atheists. Therefore, Nigeria atheists also go to Church or Mosque.

Antheist!!!!!! I always tell them to be pure in heart and to do things to others the way that they themselves will also wished to be treated........ Its only when we die that we will all know the truth.... Muslim, christian, antheist, pagan...... Living good is always good... You need a good conscience to survive this earth and not purely religion

How do you know with certainty the becoming of you or him after death.

Live your life to the fullest and avoid doing stuff capable of harming your fellow human or even yourself knowing fully well that it all ends here the way other animal species die without invoking the super natural.

False hope is one of the great misconception and delusion delusion human ever invented via their complex cognitive brain.

Great... Atheists are a step closer to the truth than Christians and Muslims.

Someone may wonder "what truth?"

The truth is;

We are all connected, nothing happens by chance, everything happens as we want them to happen (knowingly or unknowingly).

There's only one God. And that God can't exist without us, we can't exist without It too. That God is you, and you're him. That God is in everything you do. God is not a being, it's not evil or righteous. We just don't know the power we possess.


The choice is yours to be good or bad(good and bad is relative tho').


Finally, your connection to your real self(GOD) are your thoughts.

Take it or leave it. There's no truth greater than this.

All people or atheists? You sounded so confident and knowing a lot of what he/we might be missing but all of a sudden matter don change .

Respect? Ok. Challenging? Definitely! You can not say you are telling me solemnly, that I am a missing a lot. And then choose to avoid the question of what you mean by a lot.

You have challenged my awareness(concerning atheism) already ! Don't go away I want to learn!
