TrapQueen77:Those hypocrites disgust me. I always feel like pulling a spiritual koboko on them. carnal minds have invaded the church of God! It takes me less than five minutes to see through them. The church is under serious assault from the marine to corrupt,dilute and erode spirituality totally from the church of God. |

hahn:When i typed religion, it wasn't restricted to christians only. Unless you've discovered another meaning of that word. |

It was a long and slow process, no one thing pushed me. But as i got smarter and read more I started to question the bibles teachings and finally I became an atheist. 2 Likes |

hahn: The bolded is golden. That is your Buddha moment. You were indeed talking to yourself. But the truth is modern religion does not allow one to talk to oneself. It encourages so much noisemaking and manta that one cannot hear oneself, thereby making people disconnect from your innerself and malleable to control by pastors, priests and imams. My best quote from the Bible is " Man know thyself." 2 Likes 1 Share |

ChemicalReaction:So former Christians turned atheist should not comment? In that case you should have added excluding Christians in your heading. |

ChemicalReaction:Ahhh. I once thought the same, as did most ex religious atheist. The first time I even saw an atheist was in a Hollywood movie, I've forgotten the name, where the character said he didn't believe in God or Jesus. And I was like "for real" I seriously couldn't imagine anyone not believing in God, Religious indoctrination is an immense thing. The word atheist wasn't even in my vocabulary, in my world atheist didn't exist except in Hollywood movies, they were like aliens and Santa clause. Anyway that was a long time ago and I've only ever met three atheist in real life(one I personally converted) all in the last two years. Atheist are coming out more in nigeria and I hope the trend continues. So the next kid will now that being an atheist is also an option and not just Christianity or Islam. 3 Likes |

Seun:Because you couldn't find answers to your supposed 'difficult questtions' |
Re: Why & When Did You Decide To Dump Religion? by coolbreezy01: 7:55am On Oct 25, 2016 |
Seun:Because you couldn't find answers to your supposed 'difficult questions' you gave up on religion so soon...its either you were just a sideline christian or you just never wanted to admit to all the goodness God has done to your lives because of the bigger picture you were looking for, the answers to question that should not be asked but because off our always wantind to know mind you checked and you not finding it just made you a conclusion that 'THERE IS NO GOD'...wow what a way to bacome an atheist... |

coolbreezy01:He was approaching organised religion to magically solve his needs. He should attempt Islam,traditional worship,Buddha,Satanism etc before he concludes. A runaway nun never speaks good of her convent. seun has been forged a rebel due to his not getting manna from all the ills that plagued him. How far has he gone in solving all those ills with his acts of rebellion against the kingdom of God? |

ChemicalReaction:I've met three now. Like I said, I didn't start meeting them till recently, I make it a point now to inform anyone I care to that I'm an atheist, so atheism will be more visible. You'll meet more atheist in more Intellectual circles. 3 Likes |
