Maybe na him dey help am manage him faith record

Deicide:
You see me comment since?

Deicide:
Mark has noting to do with me I don't even like him as a programmer to begin with...

Pained for what?

niyihawking:
you are not making sense sir(sorry to say)

a Christian can stop being a Christian because his "lord in the father" who convinced him/her has stopped been a Christian(same for other religion)

but it takes months, sometimes years for a person to be atheistic.
why?. Cos one has to reflect and question every damn thing one has been programmed to believe in ...
it's a personal thing, and not what other people(your parents or whosoever) make you believe...
marks words or believe can not have any effect on seun(saying this with confidence)


I'm sure seun will be laughing his a$$ out at your comment wherever he is.

Deicide:
Does he believe in your jesus myth?

Deicide:
Mark was an Atheist it was even on his Facebook profile and even on the wall street....that was the reference Wikipedia used to conclude that Mark was Atheist...

Deicide:
Is mark not Going to Hell?

JhyMedex:
Ur comments clearly indicate u nt a very intelligent fella...
Merry Xmas

Lennycool:
Guy just imagine if a well known atheist like seun was asked if he were an atheist and he said "NO"
It would be pretty surprising now wouldn't it.
That's why I said we should let mark zuckerberg reveal more before we start jumping around.
If he's no longer an atheist. Its fine
But how would you feel after all this you gyrations and he reveals he still is?
Give the truth time

JhyMedex:
Seriously... U, talking abt excuses n delusions...
Wen ur whole belief system is sitted on dis two?..
Deluding urselves abt getting burned or singing nonstop after life n Finding excuses for y a prophet will order bears to maul children to death...

C'mon say sth else.. If u tryna feel intelligent...

Lennycool:
A simple no won't do.
He's been too long a public atheist for him to just say no. And that's that.
That's why I chose to see what more time will present to us.
Whether he be an atheist or not.
Life goes on

Deicide:
see as Mark day play table tennis with This Religious folk brain....most of the Pastors in Nigeria if not 80% are Atheist so yes I understand what mark is doing here...Religion however Remains the opium of the Masses

wirinet:
Please quit that "most scientists were scientist" nonsense. For most of recorded history, only religious organizations (monasteries) ran any form of educational institution, from primary education to tertiary institution. There was nothing like public or secular education. naturally all educated people whether, scientists or others are members of religious organizations, whether Christians, Buddhist, Shinto, shaolin, or Islamic. In fact it was from Islamic universities that science and technology of ancient Greece got revived into western Europe.

You must be joking to be quoting Galileo. Galileo who was almost kill for holding a contrary view to the church that the Sun was the center of the Universe and not the earth, you expect him to write that God does not exist? He would be beheaded the very next day.

I think we'll getore facts later on.
Maybe he's eyeing a political position. He is well loved but even at that he wouldn't go far politically as an atheist.
Only time will tell.
He's taking a page out of bill gates "Religion is important" book. Its what's best for the company

DeSepiero:
What if Mark lied?

Richie0974:
Mark would do anything to keep the facebook family from getting frenzied, that I think is the reason for his answer.

JhyMedex:

We won't expect Mark to explicitly say he's Atheist... His business might b at Risk...

Bt like u said.. He's most likely a closet-Atheist

Seun:
On facebook, in reply to his Christmas and Hanukkah greeting, someone asked Mark Zuckerberg, "but aren't you atheist?" He replied, "No. I was raised Jewish and then I went through a period where I questioned things, but now I believe religion is very important."

This is unfortunate. If not for the explicit "no", I would have said that he was dodging the question, but he said it. He threw atheism under the bus. He has made it very clear to everybody that he doesn't identify as an atheist and doesn't want to be considered as an atheist. Bless him. This doesn't mean he's not an atheist, of course; an atheist is simply someone who doesn't hold a belief in the existence of any God.

I don't believe for one second that Mark believes in the existence of the Jewish God. The one who forbade Jews from eating pork instead of teaching them how to cook it properly. Who created foreskins to protect the sensitive tips of male organs, but then ordered the Jews to cut them off their newborn babies. Who permitted Jews to enslave foreigners and treat them as property, even though he created all people. Who made women menstruate but then declared that a menstruating woman is unclean, and anyone who touches her - even her husband - is also unclean. Who banished children of single parents and their descendants from entering his temple for 400 years (the 10th generation).

I don't believe that Mark believes in that God. And since he hasn't talked about any other God, I continue to believe that he is an atheist. He may choose to call himself an agnostic, a cultural Jew, or whatever helps Facebook and his family, but that doesn't mean he's not an atheist.

So, Santa Claus is real?

hahn:
Why acknowledge something that has not been proven? By your logic, we might as well acknowledge the existence of Santa claus since that will be "a big step towards understanding Its nature"

KingEbukasBlog:

Ehya. My mom died in 2007. Never met my dad. Been on the streets since 14. Have my own business, married too. NO kids yet though but soon.

Wait, you are an atheist?

KingEbukasBlog:
Oooohhm

Brother Hahn this is simple

1. Atheists claim that

a. Physical reality is all there is with no creator - How did you people arrive at this conclusion ? How do you know ? This is a claim that needs to be proven .

b. The universe came from nothing/created itself - this is a logical absurdity it does not even require proof .

c The universe is eternal - observational data disproves this . The universe had a beginning

2. This is how to prove there is no God . I put this challenge up



If you can respond with details of your discovery concerning the two then we can discuss for real

Believe nothing is more illogical than bowing down before the image of a white man hanging from a cross with blood dripping all over his body and believing that man to be God.

And I am sure he lives with his mom

SirWere:
Actually, this tends to happen to quite a number of atheists worldwide as they grow old or become really successful...

They tend to change their views from "It makes no sense" to "Meh, this world is senseless anyways".

I think it's because when we grow old, we tend to understand more on the trappings of society. We become sentimental, our worldview tends to get tinged with irrationality. Things we would refute plainly on the grounds of making no sense tends to get accepted as we mature.

It's......really nor a new thing

Case in point from NL : hahn, who discovered he was God or something like that

hahn:
Lol. See depression. You post with 4evergod3 then like and share with 4evergod, 4evergod1, 4evergod2 and other monikers.

Keep it up

Na wa o. Why are Nairaland's Christian community so ecstatic about what Mark Zukerberg believes or not. Mark Zukerberg was never some sort of Atheist leader or guru, he does not have an atheist movement that he promotes, so i do not see how his one line sentence on his view on religion affects both atheists and theists the world over.

This is the statement that have gotten Christians excited here;


He never said anything about being a christian, he never even said he believed in any God, he only said he was raised a jew now believes religion is very important, he never said what type of religion he now believes in, and to whom is it important to, whether to himself personally, to his family or to the society at large.

I for one identify myself as an atheist but i also thing religion is very important, not the viscous and vitriolic type of religion exhibited by Nigerian Christians and muslims, but religion as a personal affair on how one achieve harmony with oneself and the universe as a whole.

Atheism is as varied as the leaves on a tree, no two atheists have identical set of beliefs, the only common denominator of atheism is in the lack of belief in any God as promoted by different societies throughout human history. If you do not believe in any God, to me you are an atheist.

So Christians are alright and happy with Buddhists, Muslims, hindus, Ifa worshipers or even devil worshipers, it seems that the only people they have a morbid hatred for are atheists[/s]

This response by Nairalands christians show that they are very insecure and afraid of atheists
