You know what my opinion is? If this isn't a joke at all, then in one silent corner of your mind you had always believed in a jesus, or a god, or a holi cow. Your previous tirades had always been to get back at something torturing you deep inside. Why, so it is absolutely no strange thing that you should revert back to what had always been an old order for you. You have merely gone back (and not started anew as a born-whatever xtian, as you would have us believe). people or atheists like you are many all over the globe. While some talk of some theistic, overwhelming, spiritual experience a la Anthony Flew, some talk of outright conversion a la Paul (who became Saul). It boils down to one thing, you guys are all deluded in the first place and had never believed anything!!
Don't bore me with your story, cos it changes nothing. Why you hadn't believed so long in this jesus, is the question am asking; not why you have suddenly converted to "theism"
Has it ever occured to you why it was jesus you chose? I'll tell u. Because you have always chosen him. When you go into mediation again some time, please come out believing in Islam or Mohammed or Zarathustra or Confucius; that would be much more appealing/credible!!

@ sauer

Again this thread will keep growing in size due to folks like you who are hell bent on making this a propaganda driven conversion.
Lets face it, our guy seems to have chosen to thread a new path and the honest truth is that its only right path believe it or not,

WEN DID APOSTACY IN ATHEISM BECOME A CRIME

sauer:

There has never been APOSTACY in atheism, since it's not a religion, but only an opinion. I just had to attack the poster's sudden "conversion"
BTW, how much voice had he in the atheist circle on NL before he was stopped on his road to damascus?

gidson12:

which kind topic dey even make front page 4 nairaland, imagine
so this is wat we would be discussing, somebody coming to open a thread
about his religious problem

mavenbox:

@wirinet: Ever since you became an atheist, how many tangible answers to your numerous questions about life have you garnered? Let me answer for you: very few, and they are at best unfounded speculations based on some physically available evidence.

So for once, I have to agree with AIO. Most atheists do not have answers in themselves, they spend most of their time bringing down religion. They do not have the same answers that they keep claiming that followers of religion do not possess.

wirinet:

Pastor, you are now turning davidistic. How can you know what is in the mind of every atheist? Yes given that some "former atheist" like Banom hinged their brief stint with atheism on anger directed at God for not saving his father, how can you use that as a template for others.

Me on the other hand, i have never been angry at any God, Christian, Muslim or Ifa. I just cant make sense of all the religions. It is as simple as that.

@poster, thank God for you jare, hope you wouldn't pull back out.

Any person from any religion is invited, keep your beliefs to yourself and donate a book.(abeg)

@Wirinet

Let me give you a slight analogy.
Imagine for one moment a set of twins in their 's womb.

One twin says : "Hey, we have a [/b]. She is responsible for all that we are. We exist because she allowed some guy somewhere between her legs.We are alive because she eats and drinks. She cares so much for us that she goes regularly to a guy called doctor for something called ante-natal".
"Sometimes I hear her speak to us. She calls us babies. She loves us so much that she would do anything for us.
She says we give her joy. I hear it. She keeps thinking about us every moment".

The other twin replies. "What are you talking about. You are just imagining things. There is nothing like . Have you ever seen her? If you say she speaks to us, how come I never hear her? Hey fella, I am on the side of "what you see, is what you get" No hidden charges or bonuses. I wouldn't waste my time thinking about some   that you've just imagined up".
"If truly we have a , why can't she come get us out of this blood soaked tight sac that we've been locked up in since conception".

Twin one says": If only you understood you wouldn't speak like this. She loves us so much that she is going to endure the most grueling pain of her life just to get us out of here. It won't be long, we would be out of here in her arms, free to move around and at the same time feel her love.
She would give us bosom to suck, food to eat, she would bathe us and put us to bed. So much love she would give to us.

The other twin: All this your talk looks too good to be true. However, I only believe in things I see. I don't see a , So I know I don't have one. I'll rather wait till that 9 months you keep talking about is over, then maybe I'll believe.


This analogy gives you a perfect picture on our relationship with God. You don't have to see to believe. The mere fact that a baby can't see or feel the presence of it's  doesn't mean the  doesn't exist.
For me, I know for sure that I didn't make my digestive system, neither did I do anything to ensure that my lungs process oxygen. I know for sure that it has all been regulated by my creator.

Hey Atheists, we all know atheism is a ruse and it exists solely because God exists. If believers in God are wrong, then there should be no need for such a thing as atheism.
