any thing u see atheist doing in nairaland is called atheism evangelism,( to liberate the deluded mind of religios appologists)

Athest learned it from you appologist, for christian, they will come to the media and preach and show us miracles,they even go as far as staging a fake miracle all in an attempt to convert people,
As for islam they go as far as staging Jihad(holy war) killing people whoi refused to follow them,

Humblesoul,
don't waste ur cybertime with these self-annointed 'intellectuals'. Those of us who've been here long enuff have seen that they are mostly driven by hate and an insatiable desire to ridicule others and their religions. Most christians here don't even bother to read or reply their posts.

There are however a few reasonable, honest, warm and down-to-earth atheists here on NL, its too bad they don't post more often. The few bads eggs are giving all of them a bad rep.

you see the problem. . .go to the moslem section and see what your fellow christians are doing to the moslems. . .not that i care but. . .do christains not ridicule moslems and their religion? do they post not hateful post and insult moslems? why do you guys whine when you are being given a dose of your own medicine? long before atheist came to nairaland christains have ALWAYS been fighting and ridiculing each others sects. . .calling each others names and what not. . . it is always the catholics verse protestant. . the tithe verse the non tithe paying christians. . .the followers of pastor chris and tb joshus versus that of pastor adeboye and co. . . the only time christians agree with each other is when they are arguing with atheist. . .most christains don't bother to read or reply you say eh? is it because you have no better argument?

dear mazaje,

firstly i want to correct u, i am a muslim, but i grew up in the christian south amongst christians and i also have christain cousins, so i dont really agree with u that all christians are like that, in my family everyone is left to thier own faith and nobody is ridiculed or disrespected because of what they believe, my approach in life is that when one gets to a certain age u cant force religion down their throat so i just let everyone choose the path that he feels suits him, so if u don't beleive in God then that is your own piece of cake but like i said when i started this thread, some atheist come here and bug people who beilieve in God, i think that is not fair, we respect ur right be be who u are so please respect us too,

I have no problem with an atheist stating his/her case. The problem arises when an atheist proclaims delusion of the religious.

who is more deluded, the christian who defines his belief as "FAITH" in an uncreated GOD or is it an atheist, who cannot rationally explain his beliefs/disbeliefs?

on one hand it is impossible to have an "uncreated GOD" on the other hand, it is possible that life began from an "uncreated" big bang.

on one hand you must be "stupid" to believe that everything has its origin from GOD, but on the other hand it is intelligent to believe all things evolved, when there is no evidence of the pioneer micro-organisms that created life or an explanation for the first complex chemical reactions thet proposed life.

on one hand because of the death and misadventure of certain "christians" who practised the faith, there is therefore no GOD, on the other hand, for those who however did well, its just a coincidence.

I could go on and on, but it all bugs down to one thing. . . . .atheism is a delusion proud and foolish people live in.

atheists are fast denying christians their rights to conventional christian practices, in the name of offending disbelievers.

you have found it difficult to tell me

1. what the sacred convictions of atheism/naturalism is/are? if at all there are any?
2. what is nature's truth? what is the truth?
3. what is naturalism's explanation of the conception of life?

unless and until u answer these questions within the limits of intelligence (no long stories or unnecessary rubbish), my opinion of u as a misguided and uninformed, ranting ignoramus still holds. (no offence intended)
Re: I Don't Understand These Atheists! by huxley(m): 5:52pm On May 12, 2009
Activist atheists or better still naturalists are interested in religion and supernaturalism in the same way that a surgeon is interested in a cancerous growth.

@humblesoul et al

I am an atheist, I rarely come to nairaland these days mostly because I have been very busy grin , personally I only think it is natural to expect someone to attack what you believe in when you come to the religion section. A clashing of ideas is really one of the effective ways for one to check that which you believe in relation to that which we have on reality today.

It is a learning process brother, I have limited my criticisms to beliefs which affect our daily lives for instance, if we had someone here who believed in the ancient calabar practice of sacrificing twin kids to save the land from being defiled I am pretty sure your reaction to such a person would not be very subtle, in the same vain when I come in here and I see someone raising an thread about say homosexuality and I relaise that the persons position is not informed I try my best to point it out TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, I cannot know all neither can anyone here on earth so why not see it as a process to test that which you believe in by faith and that which you believe if it is the right thing to do by all regardless of religious affiliation?

I have learnt a lot from everyone here, I have had fun , laughed my ass out and also had heated arguments, in the end my friend always know that there is:
What you believe in
What I believe in,  

and there is

What is right

the part in bold above is what we should be talking about, the conditions that makes something right,

We live and we learn.

Cheers  grin

If you look in the middle of the word Be[b]lie[/b]f and Be[b]lie[/b]ve, you will see the word lie. Belief is ignorance. If one has to believe, it means he or she does not know, and if one does not know, that is ignorance. Hence, belief is ignorance. The most deceptive word in religion is the word BELIEVE or BELIEF, because a person can believe anything, and this means that a person can believe and be one hundred per cent wrong. But knowledge is KNOWING. Knowledge is CORRECT INFORMATION. TO KNOW gives one confidence, but belief infers doubt. Knowledge can be checked out by one or more of three tests (1) Experience (2) Evidence or (3) Reason.

I never used to bother with the religious section until i came across a topic by JeSoul called The Problem With The Atheist which to me was a bloody insult to my intelligence coz as far as am concerned i don't have a problem. But that topic made me realise that the reason why nigeria is not progressing is because of RELIGION.

The masses {or millions} will rather go to those big massive prayer conventions and pray for wealth health jobs etc. They think that an invisible man is going to come from the sky to solve thier problems. When instead the millions should just march down to Aso Rock and demand change. If change donsen't come then they should riot. Even if 50 or 100 of them get shot or killed its better you die for a cause instead of fighting the Hausas.

i understand how you feel about religion, as u said religion has caused a lot of problems and has given a lot of people excuses but you have to admit there are good muslims, christians, hindus, buhdists etc out there who just go about their normal lives without bugging anyone, and a lot of people also find peace and love in their hearts thru religion!!!

A very pertinent fact that many of our atheist brethren here on NL refuse to acknowledge. There is so much good that is done in the name of religion whether christian or muslim YET most of the atheists here only choose to focus on the bad and paint all religious people with the same tainted brush.

@jesoul are u a broadcaster,  shocked cool, wats with u forgeting ur lines.

@topic
Atheists are humans they are not aliens hence they also feel the need to be right, and unfortunately since no one can prove or disprove the existence of a Creator the only way they can have peace of mind is by "proactively" trying to engage people in discussions so that those people would try to give them an evidence of the existence or non existence of a Creator.
Hence the best way to inflict pain on atheists is to ignore them, cus that way they would never be able to justify themselves or their reasoning. Atheists need an audience, just make sure you don't give them one.

Its cool when a christian goes on the muslim threads, insult Mohammed and Allah, make rubbish of the doctrines of the Holy Quoran and basically attack the muslim faith, but you have a problem when Atheists attack your christian doctrines!!

Its o.k for the muslims to blast their chants and call for prayers from loudspeakers mounted on the to of their mosques, disregarding the fact that it is even in Arabic and that it constitutes a nuissance to non-muslims. But if an Atheist opens a thread questoning the doctrine of Jihad or Sharia then we are labelled infidels.

Its cool for a Jehovas witness to trespass my property, to propagate their religion, but when an atheist raises a question on a christian thread, we are called names.

PULEEEZE!!

Its like Chrisbengor said above "blah . . . . . BlAh       . . .    BLAH!. . .  It is a learning process brother  . . . . Blah!".

Please did you just say: atheists give me headache  grin grin grin abegi.

I just find it boring and repititive repeating the same answers to their questions considering that most of their questions have been answered from the logical and scientific point of view ,

From experience as a wanabe closet atheist i have come to realise that ignoring atheists can be more effective than actually giving them an audience, cus atheists have no reference frame whatsoever hence they need an audience to justify and validate themselves. Hence once that audience is taking away from them, it becomes extremely painful for them to bear.

I just cant stop laughing at both those words. Are you sure you dont want to modify your post?!
Nothing personal, but there is nothing logical or scientfic about any religion, so how then could you have defended yours from those standpoint?!
What scientific bout Jesus walking on water or logical about a fish swallowing Jonah!! ROFL grin

I'm just saying, lets all chill out and learn from each other. Nobody is forcing anyone to convert. Like Banom said, call it "Atheist Evangelism".

You should be thanking us atheists,we're trying to deliver you from the eternal curse of stupidity.There's nothing logical or rational about a carpenter ressurecting or immaculate conception. . .when will religious people open their eyes and see reason? Why can't god just show himself,the suspense is really killing!

humblesoul:

i understand how you feel about religion, as u said religion has caused a lot of problems and has given a lot of people excuses but you have to admit there are good muslims, christians, hindus, buhdists etc out there who just go about their normal lives without bugging anyone, and a lot of people also find peace and love in their hearts thru religion!!!
As far as Nigeria is concerned Religion is doing more harm than good. Obasanjo once said when asked about our nepa problem that nigerians should leave everything to god? (who as far as am concerned dosen't exist) He's just evading his responsibiliy as a leader. That is the problem with Nigeria when u talk to the ordinary man in the street he will say "e dey gods hand oh" or "only god can save us" Only Nigerians will solve Nigeria's problems no invisible man will come down from the sky to solve our problems.
