OP as a doubter you are on step two of recovery: Church goer----->Doubter----->Deist---->Skeptic---->Agnostic---->Atheist Some people don't make it all the way to the last step but any progress is good progress. 2 Likes |

onetrack: You said "Church goer " - this clearly means he only takes perfunctory visits to the church and not that he knows Christ or has personal relationship with Christ . You can't become a recreant if you have the knowledge of God - no longer having a belief in God . Strike out "Deist" as a stage of transition - deism involves seeing God's existence from a different perspective , a more intellectual perspective .I strongly doubt that a mere church goer would become a deist . Also be specific about skepticism because deists and agnostics are usually religious skeptics . But in its general sense , agnostics are purely skeptics since they believe atheism should be questioned too . And I don't agree that agnosticism progresses to atheism . Agnosticism has to do with being ambivalent on God's existence . Since agnosticism questions both atheism and theism , an agnostic could become an atheist or a theist - a Christian in this case - or back to deism . If an agnostic becomes an atheist its more likely due to emotions or pressure . If he becomes a Christian , its more likely because he witnessed God's intervention and he is certain about his experience . If he becomes a deist , its more likely he admitted to the existence of God from a sapient perspective. A flow chart would be a more appropriate and logical but intricate representation of a probable transition . 1 Like 1 Share |

rexlims:From the beginning, to the present, with God, all scams are possible. It makes you wonder, if the religion, the belief and worship of God, is a tool for every conceivable scam and other evils, then obviously, the perpetrators of such scams would know within themselves that the very notion of God is itself a scam. In other words, the perpetrators of religious scams, from Prophets, pastors, imams, priests, gurus, etc, are the worst forms of atheists, because knowing that there is no skydaddy, they use pretences to scam the needy and gullible public. Therefore, we can't just ignore the scams and focus directly on belief in God. The scams are directly connected and speak soooo much about the belief in God and the very notion of the existence of God. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Mcowubaba: Ignorance of history is one of the things that keep Africans glued to these throw-away relics of European pasts. It only ignorant, badly educated Africans that still believe that religion is a force for good. History tells us the exact opposite. The history of Christianity is so shameful that the Europeans hardly talk about, let alone take Church and religion seriously in their day to day lives. The history of Islam, cantankerous, bloody, to say the least. Mangoes CANNOT grow from Desert Cactus tree. The modern day practice of Christianity must of necessity be true to its origins, its DNA. 2 Likes 1 Share |

onetrack: That's why I say that atheism is not a rejection , but an ACCEPTANCE, an acceptance of reality. And it takes a long process to come to that acceptance. Many never make it that far. But, it is not compulsory that they do. Unshackling oneself from the bandage of religious beliefs is good enough. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

OP these days I no longer advocate atheism rather I advocate rational thinking. Looking at the universe for what it really is and not what makes us feel good. Because there are somethings we don't yet understand does not give us liberty to believe anything anybody tells us. Else our brain would be up for grabs by any religious or political leader that comes around. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Justeenaleo:Error Actually being very logical and using ur sense is a great step towards Atheism... Because logically there are lots of Proposed redolent Fallacies in the Bible but Christians are indoctrinated not to doubt the Holy scriptures . For instance, logically: feeding of Four Thousand nd five Thousand people with few bread and fishes as recorded in Matthew Gospel is not feasible, but as Christians we are told that is MIRACLE Red sea division Walking on water Christians are taught not to doubt or reason cognitively about the Scripture.... 2 Likes |

Mcowubaba:every human created by God is blessed with clean sense and being logical is by default. just as atheists believe in whatever they believe in which is most times not logical too so do Christians believe in theirs. No need for one to claim their belief is as a result of their being logical. |
Re: Am I Becoming An Atheist ?? by Seun(m): 8:45pm On Sep 11, 2016 |
Justeenaleo:It does. There's no way you could logically come to believe that any holy book is a message from the creator of the universe. It's impossible. 4 Likes 1 Share |
