Irreligious person? Yes!
Outspoken? No!
Lolz, this is the reason why it's difficult to find irreligious single ladies in Naija.

Pray tell, why wouldn't you have been outspoken if you were in Naija?

OP, aren't you open to dating Christians?


I am tired of dating Christians. I want something different.

I want a babe who wouldn't mind a court wedding. I want a babe who can discuss with me on an intellectual level.

Imagine being oppressed with religion at work only to find that your partner is planning tor you to go to a vigil. You actually dont have a partner tha can comfort you in this overreligious country.


If your babe has ever tithed her full first month salary and became a dull time financially dependent baby on your account, you would think twice.

Some Christians aren't they bad. They won't project their beliefs on you.

A lack of belief in god. cool

grin whirelotus how come fieryy too did not state otherwise? It only means there is a principle and in every belief system there are principles which defines that system. The moment you stop adapting to the principle which defines that belief system you are no longer considered a part of it. A LACK OF BELIEF IN GOD IS A PRINCIPLE THAT PROPELS THE BELIEF SYSTEM CALLED ATHEISM. It is a mind setting, a conditioning.

When I revealed I'm an atheist to my cousin, she took it personal and was angry about some statements I made. That's just one instance.

So I imagine I wouldn't have been outspoken.

Also in Nigeria, people will literally hate you if you don't agree with the norm.

Re: Any Hope For Atheist Dating In Nigeria? by Nobody: 6:49pm On Dec 28, 2019
Since this is gradually turning into a rant thread. I want to rant about those, who always feel the need to preach to me.

I went to afroshop the other day, started talking to a guy who then asked me: 'Are you going to church tomorrow?'

I told him I was an atheist. This idiot accused me of worshipping the devil, said I was adapting a western belief and started quoting the bible up and down.

How am I adapting a western belief? HOOOOW?! When Christianity itself is not African!!!!

That's hard o. But you know being an atheist is literally normal. It doesn't mean that person will tick all the boxes for you. She could be an atheist and still be dependent on you.

You are right sha.

I guess the stigma or "hate" is most likely more for girls than guys like us...

Naija sha.

I'm meant to believe there are 'progressive Christians'. Don't they exist in Nigeria?
Those ones are difficult to find, just like atheists are somewhat difficult to find in Nigeria. undecided

Maybe it's normal for men to be irreligious in Nigeria. Go to prayer houses, it's mostly filled with women.

Also, women are the 'prayer warriors ' in most families grin.

Agreed.

There are good and bad people in every belief.


There are other things I want in a partner besides atheism. Intelligence- knows international politics. Loves travelling. Ready to try new things etc

Really?

Maybe so. But believe the difference in religious orientation will spring up from time to time. It's inescapable.

So that means you are open to dating a progressive Christain?. I know it's hard to find.

So with that mindset, you could look into progressive Christians instead in terms of dating?.

The environment you are in makes it hard for you to easily find an atheist who is female.

They definitely will, just like so many other things that have nothing to do with religion. I think as long as boundaries are set and you respect each other, you guys would be fine.

I personally wouldn't completely shut down Christians cheesy

The bold is but a form of deductive reasoning and logic.

If you dont have car papers, then you dont have a car. Simple and short.


The premises meet the conclusion.


The first premise is false, and false premise Will only give you a false conclusion. That's my point
Re: Any Hope For Atheist Dating In Nigeria? by Apination(m): 7:16pm On Dec 28, 2019

No.

By the modern definition, atheism is not a belief system: it is a lack of belief
Is there an ancient definition? What's a belief system?

Nah! I gave up on that chance. I mean, I tried that recently and it backfired. Things were going smoothly with this Christian girl, boundaries were set and agreed. Then one day suddenly she thought to invite me for a church programme.

Nah! I wasn't buying that shit. I declined and that was where things went downhill. This was recently. This year.

I've tried that before and got burnt. I ain't trying that anymore, anytime soon. embarassed

Nope, the suckling is an innate Knowledge to act that way when the breast is placed in the baby's mouth. The mother is in no way teaching the baby how to suckle by impressing her breast into the babies mouth. He is already born with the knowledge to do so. Unlike being taught with time how to use a chop stick to eat spaghetti.
Hope you know not all babies are able to suckle? And that's why I put it as a biological function that's impressed with time. What if I tell you that my knowledge of God is innate, would you agree?
