When Will We Have The First Organised Theist/Atheist physical Debate In Nigeria? by hopefulLandlord: 8:39pm On Jan 29, 2017 |
We've done lots of debates on the internet, we've won many and lost many, we've learnt a lot in the process, we've helped many deconvert, many have had their faith shaken and unstable due to our online activities on one hand it fells good having to air opinions that would've been almost impossible to air on another hand however is that we are restricting this to online debates and it doesn't look like it would progress to physical debates anytime soon this is robbing us of OUR Christopher Hitchens, Matt Dillhaunty, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins etc yes it's hard, yes there are many who wouldn't wanna bear the risk of being known as atheist eg pastor's and deacon's children or those whose means of livelihood and/or Safety is connected to giving appearances; I'm not talking about such people I'm talking those who can take the risk or those who don't see it as risk at all getting a theist to engage wouldn't be that difficult cuz we know there's nothing to lose for them could this be possible? oh yes How long before it happens? or has it been happening and I'm not aware? 3 Likes 2 Shares |

I currently don't think of revealing myself offline cuz I don't want my religious family and country to play a religious stunts on me. They are killing those that believe in God....

mrmrmister: I understand how it feels to be surrounded by religious folks and the threat they pose but hiding doesn't help either. It's time atheists brought the real true to the fore and one of the ways by which this can be done effectively is through the gospel of oneself. |

The reason Y this will be very difficult is simple. Once you come out in the open for such debates, Yahoo-Yahoo G.Os such as Adeboye, Oyedepo, Kumuyi, DK Olukoya, TB Joshua & Oyakhilome who proclaim Jesus & Yahweh's name in the broad-day while making sacrifices to the spiritual authority that backs their ministries at night (e.g Ifa, Ogun, Eshu, Obatala etc) will go to any length just to make a scape-goat out of you for attempting to pour sand-sand into their garri (i.e blocking their sources of income). Enoch Adeboye alone can afford to sacfrifice more than 6 Cows & 6 Pigs to his "Ifa" which he keeps at Ogere (confirmed from a reliable source) or even offer 6 Alsatian or Tibetan mastiff dogs to Ogun Lakaaye Oshimale just to fvck up your life - and trust me, things will start going wrong for such a scape-goat unless such person is also wealthy & ready to spend twice the amount to make sacrifices to those orishas inorder to counter the attacks from the Yahoo-Yahoo GOs. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

hopefulLandlord:Our society isn't that that yet value or consider intellectual debate, as a cardinal factor in pushing the frontier of knowledge and understanding. Even in our universities, forum for regular intellectual debate is scarce. Atheists/theists debate on air will become regular with time, how soon will depend on how soon the theists will become VERY angry at the onslaught of atheists on their faith. The theists will be the challenger. |

Zoharariel:well, this is the type of fear that binds folks to religion. An atheist, worth that name have no regard for irrational fears. Prof douglas anele, of the unilag, has been on for years publicly, through his atheistic articles in newspapers, been pain in the neck of theists. Nothing do am. 5 Likes |

akintom: Well, you maybe right. I do not know Prof. Douglas Anele and nobody knows whether he has Ifa or any other traditional orisha that he offers sacrifices to - for fortification. Take Prof. Wole Soyinka for instance, he is a known atheist who has never shied away from proclaiming his atheistic views - yet he is an ardent worshipper of Ogun Lakaaye Oshimale. Infact, his email address is (eniogun@aol.com). Eni Ogun in yoruba literarily means the one of Ogun. 2 Likes |
