@boyfriend or be who yu r  If you think your girlfriend Sia goofed you also did not handled the issue like a man.  You provided so many personal side to Sia story that we did not know before (very childish).  However, this STRANGERLAND and your secret are safe except for Labake.  About Labake, do you think she has your interest at heart fro referring you to this thread? think again!  Call Sia and sort things out in private.

The idea was to give the total story so people can judge / take sides. Have you observed that the rate of post / replies have droped droppedthen.
Why because she told us her own truth which was half the truth and trust people now they wanted to eat the guy raw. Stoning him with any verse from the bible they could draw.
Now people have heard his side, every one has entered the house. Some now say he did not handle it like a man. That they should go and discuss in private.

Adconline said: , Argue facts not emotions.  The premise of this post is that her BF is a non-follower of any religious teachings and she is a Christian. Do you think that her family would have accepted  him if he were a Muslim or Buddhist? Her family's objection stems from his non-Christian faith. Any evidence to show that people who follow  "this path are the most dangerous beings alive". We have seen religiousity in Nigeria and where it has led us. Most folks in Sweden about 80%- do not believe in anything, yet they live longer and better than power drunk Nigerians who live in Aso Rock.  Most Scandavian countries have high percentage of atheists, yet  they contribute a lot of their resources to war,famine, natural disasters in developing countries,

And to support your postulation: Those who perpetuated and are still encouraging "SLAVERY" in Africa were and are mostly Allah-Mongers and Jesus-obsessed people. The a lot of the humanists that fought for the abolition of Slavery were actually Atheist. It is a pity that Africans atleast Nigerian students are not thought about the suffereing of their people carted away by the Arabs and the Europeans.

And during the recent event in Haiti, the most dreadful "do not help Haiti, we got our own problems too" propagators are mostly the socalled believers who pray day in day out and should be their brothers keeper.

Anyway, let me attend to the topic: Hey girl, I tell you to pray as some suggested to you. However, at the end of the prayer sessions and all the "isojis" you would not have solved your problem. The greatest problem we are facing as Africans is our feeble mind. If we are thoroughly enlightened, we would not have such massive devotion to the bible and quoran in the first place.

The guy, on your account seems to be a responsible lad and a well principled person. My advice to you is to convince your dad to talk to the guy. However, I am afraid it would really be easier for the camel to pass through the needle hole; because he already formed his opinion about the guy being a "devil". Though nothing is impossibel. Give it a try! When they eventually get to talk, religion should be taken out of the agenda. The most important thing actually should be your WELFARE. Let everybody including your family and pastor know that it your OWN believe that will eventually save your sinnful SOUL. Not that of your husband, certainly not that of your dear father, mother, brothers, sisters and pastor. Only you can save or lost your soul. And marrying this guy will definitely not make you lost your soul. You are already a sinner the moment you were born just like many millions other people. I did not say that; it is written in your scripture.

Life is about taking risk. You will not find out how lovely or devilish the marriage with your guy will be if you do not marry him. Therefore, go ahead and marry him.

And concerning your offsprings: I think they should and will find their own truth thelmseves. I hope neither you nor the potential father should force your religious doctrines on them o.

I dont even know what to do again. Something so harmless as a post to ask for a personal advise in respect of an issue i was trying to clarify has turned into a nightmare for me. Since yesterday i have been calling him he is not answering. My Parents have heard through my brother and while i was expecting them to be elated, they have kept an uneasy silence. My brother has been accusing me of trying to poision his future since my boyfriend assisted him with his NYSC runs and am in the middle of all these things that i cant even lay my finger on what i have done and i have been trying to make him know i meant no harm humilating him in public. Worst still i went to his house this morning and he instructed the Mallam not to allow me access. He sent me a text stating since i have told the world he is an atheist, he will be better off mingling with his fellow atheists than for him to be subjected to such condemnations publicly when we both agreed to keep things private. Am a total wreck since yesterday and am gradually losing my mind.

If he is reading this or if any one can help connect with him to tell him that it was not intended the way he is seeing it. I have never seen him so upset like this before and worse things have happened that he hasnt even remotely acted like this. I really dont know what to do again and what triggered him to be so angry and upset ! i didnt wake up 2 days ago planning to destroy our future but i was looking for a way to strengthen it but it has turned into a total reversal. Where do i start from. The Devil really knows how to worm his way into people's heart. I have never posted on Nairaland and against my better judgement i decided to do it rather it leading into a crisis of immense proportion. Nobody would understand what he has done for me over the years and i never expected people to criticiize him the way they did thats why i asked for mature comments not insults. What do i do now.

Your man will come back to you he is really heart broken now and needs some space but it will take a little time (it will not be 1 or 2 hours like you were used to). Continue to reach out to him through what ever means you can wink wink wink

I actually share the trait of not getting angry very easily with him and it tends to astound people. Women more often than not now take this for granted almost as if taunting people like us. The only problem is that when we truly get angry it is often caused by the slightest issues (built up issues which severally causes him to go for 1 or 2 hours to clear his head accumulates).

@ poster, everything we do in life is a compromise. You knew that this man was an atheist when you chose to start with him. Even at that point you were not unaware of the kind of reactions that the relationship would engender among your family and friends. No doubt, having weighed up the pros and cons you decided that it was worth having a relationship with him. What has changed? Why did you feel the need to expose your relationship now?
I have written about the arrogance of the believer. You have now been exposed to that arrogance that tells us that that we alone know the truth and we alone have the answers. You have seen people who know absolutely nothing about you and your boyfriend condemn both of you because you dared to break the mould.
If this post is true, and if my contributions have contributed to the difficulty you now find yourself in, I apologise.
Certain things are better off dealt with in private. This is one of them. I suspect that you knew all along what you had to do. Now go do it in private. What you need is the strength to do what is right, without people using your situation as a proxy to fight their own battles.
Good luck, and may your god be with you.

Here i was sitting quietly in my office until my life was altered due to something silly my supposedly fiancee wrote exposing ourlives for no just cause and setting me up for christians who dont know me to insult me to the highest heavens. If she even spoke to me about this, i wont be this demoralized and shakey at work reading all these evil statements made by people calling me this things. Why would she go this far to do it. And your saying i shouldnt blame her. You all forget the 6 pages of insults that strangers from no where have been pouring on me and the people that know me reading this. How far this write up would go is something else. From all your advices she is getting married to a devil because i am not a christian, why should i just let her be in peace since that would stop all these slanderous statements and let me be. We have done so many things together as a couple and this issue of the christian or no christian thing has never cropped up until now on the internet. How would you feel if it were you that you just woke up one morning and found your life being the centre of the storm for no just cause. Do you guys forget things easily? Have you not gone through all the name calling and atheist bashing due to her story. Why should she do this and your telling me i should chill and am childish because she praised me. What sort of praise is that? If she truely loved me why should she lay me out bare for people to castigate me because of my views and these people dont even know me. What sort of advice is she looking for that we havent weathered together for 4 years and we are still going on. In fact what ever. Am done with this episode. Whatever. I will fulfill her wishes so that this castigations will end and i will be in peace. Because there is no way i can ever forgive her for this humilation and if we are even together back, this issue will now truely rise every now and then. It was never an issue to me but it will now be an issue to me. I will have to accept that religious discrimination is truely alive and i am an endangered specie because of my views. I was deluded it will work and was planning to make sure it works to prove people wrong. I accept i was betting on the wrong horse and for those insulting Labake, she has done more for me today that i could imagine. Showing me this website makes me appreciate her more. I could have continued living a false life with Sia and not knowing she had the capacity to stab me in front of strangers. Now i know better and who i can truely call my friends

I so much understand how you feel and I am advising that you take your time to cool down and never react based on what you read in these fewer minutes. It is what you have read that is making you react and you are not taking a wholistic view of what is happening. Sia wasn't really confused but only needed to hear more opinion. By her initial post, I can conclude she's made up her mind to marry you and her fears were just her friends and relatives which is African. As such, as an atheist, you should have prepared your mind for reactions from her folks because we are highly religious people which we all know. One thing I know is that your conclusion is being an atheist is based on some personal experiences in the past and I know one day, God can still change you even if you don't believe so. Salvation is by grace and not of works or our reasonings. God's own ways are different from ours and he is the only one who knows how best to reach us in his own time. The challenge of Christianity in dis part of our world is that we are highly religious and I guess that is why you are pissed off by our professions. However, I will suggest you take out your time and reason out how you came to being because I know we all know there is a supreme being / force that supersedes all human reasonings.

@ Jumie

The Plot has gotten thicker with the introduction of Be who u Are


I have followed this thread keenly and can't help but comment at this point.

@ Poster (Sia),

Wow! I must confess, this whole thing has boomeranged back at you!

When you knew you had already made up your mind about marrying the guy why come to a public forum like this to discuss the issue? I see that you are distraught about his decision to call it quits with you. I could detect from your posts that you were not in anyway confused but wanted justification for going ahead with the marriage.


If you truly were a Christian, you would have first sought the face of God privately to know if he truly is His choice for you before getting yourself immersed in his love for 4 years. You went ahead with the relationship knowing you will have problems with his religious beliefs only for you to come crying out at the end of it. Was it because of the material gains? I am not in anyway surprised at his decisions.


Sia, am so sorry, but you have shot yourself in the foot!!!

Sincerely, I sometimes wonder what is meant by seeking the face of God in this regards. I have examples of people who claimed God spoke to them and all sorts but sincerely, their marriages are worse off than those who never claimed God chose for them. I know one thing certainly is that we all must be ready to make sacrifices before our marriages can work. Moreso, being the hypocrites we are in most cases, we need not keep lying on God over issues. Most times you discover that even amongst brethrens, we fornicate and just because we do it wisely by ensuring we are protected we abuse those who through their mistakes or ignorance get hooked by their actions. To worsen our situation, we are always too proud to restitute our ways when we fall and rather we all keep claiming God understands.

@ OP Sia,

I will suggest you give him sometime to get over it because I know it really pained him because of his views that he was being labeled an anti-christ. I will suggest you forgive Labake and let go what she has done. It is of no use saying you will sort her out because it won't really help your case here. She has done her worst and thank God because it has only shown you the kind of friend she is. In conclusion, I am of the opinion that "All things work together for good for them who love God and are called according to his purpose". Keep an open mind on what is currently on going and permit me to give you this simple prayer point that "God if he is not your will for me, no matter what anybody tries to make it work, it shouldn't work" and moreso, keep praying that God should reveal himself to your fiance. This is not because of your marriage but because you know his soul is precious to God.

I wish you the very best of God in life.

Regards,

Davidylan, at times you are so annoying and insensitive that it is a wonder you advertise yourself as a christian. If you are an example of a christian, i thank god i am not one. You see a lady going through an emotional turmoil and all that blinds you is your morbid hatred for atheist. I think you might make it as a suicide bomber against atheists.

@ Sia fuller,

I blame you greatly for the predicament you are passing through now, you should not have brought such important personal matter to an internet forum like this, because as you have painfully found out, you cannot control the outcome of things. The best you should have done once you made the mistake of posting was to at least moderate the forum so as to protect your loved one from insults and abuses. Me for one cannot take insults.

If religion was an issue bothering you, you should have had a heart to heart with your man. And if it is your Parents that is the problem, you should have talked to your mother or close aunties to take care of the family aspect. Although i do not understand the stance of your family, since you have been together for 4 years and he had help them a lot in taking care of some of their responsibilities. If it your pastor that is the problem, you should have ignored them, a lot of pastors have been responsible for lots of broken relationships and marriages, most times either the pastor or someone close to the pastor has vested interest in ending the relationship, especially when the church member is a promising young fine lady or gentleman, while the other party is from another church denomination or religion.

Sia Fuller:

I dont even know what to do again. Something so harmless as a post to ask for a personal advise in respect of an issue i was trying to clarify has turned into a nightmare for me. Since yesterday i have been calling him he is not answering. My Parents have heard through my brother and while i was expecting them to be elated, they have kept an uneasy silence. My brother has been accusing me of trying to poision his future since my boyfriend assisted him with his NYSC runs and am in the middle of all these things that i cant even lay my finger on what i have done and i have been trying to make him know i meant no harm humilating him in public. Worst still i went to his house this morning and he instructed the Mallam not to allow me access. He sent me a text stating since i have told the world he is an atheist, he will be better off mingling with his fellow atheists than for him to be subjected to such condemnations publicly when we both agreed to keep things private. Am a total wreck since yesterday and am gradually losing my mind.

If he is reading this or if any one can help connect with him to tell him that it was not intended the way he is seeing it. I have never seen him so upset like this before and worse things have happened that he hasnt even remotely acted like this. I really dont know what to do again and what triggered him to be so angry and upset ! i didnt wake up 2 days ago planning to destroy our future but i was looking for a way to strengthen it but it has turned into a total reversal. Where do i start from. The Devil really knows how to worm his way into people's heart. I have never posted on Nairaland and against my better judgement i decided to do it rather it leading into a crisis of immense proportion. Nobody would understand what he has done for me over the years and i never expected people to criticiize him the way they did thats why i asked for mature comments not insults. What do i do now.

I am a bit disappointed by what i highlighted above. You mean to say that you did not know what made him to be so upset? So you claim ignorance of the emotional trauma of what your post has caused someone you claim to love. Even your Bible which you claim to believe says you must admit your mistakes and then ask to be forgiven. If it was me that is made to endure so much insult and ridicule by strangers on very personal emotional issue, i honestly do not know i will react.

If you really love him, then you have to make up your mind if you really want to marry him ( i am almost certain your pastor has a candidate for you). If the answer is yes, then you have t fight to have him back. You will have to ask you mother or a prominent aunty for assistance. If you guys are to get married, then you will need to practice some conflict resolution. If you enlist your mother or a prominent aunt to follow you to his house, at least he will grant you audience, to allow you mend things.

wirinet, i'm sorry but this is extreme and blind stu.pidity from you. you talked about "morbid hatred" for the atheist . . . where did you observe that in this line?

the signs were there all along. your bf has a serious aversion to anything christianity.

I based that claim on sia fuller's own comments and that is a FACT. He gets unecessarily angry and agitated whenever she makes the mistake of bringing up a christian discussion . . . an attitude he does not display towards anything else.

So WHERE did you find the "morbid hatred" against the atheist there?

Seriously many of you have a severe psychological problem bothering on your own spiritual confusion. Trying to blame that on everyone else who has a different opinion of you is a FARCE.
