Everyone is not like you. Everyone is not strong like me. I have seen alot of threads on nairaland of people saying they want to commit suicide and for what? For things others sees as nothing. Everyone is not strong. Your breaking point is suicide for others. So I don't mind religion. We are not all strong and capable of being independent like you.

Being an Atheist is a gift. The ability to have the capacity to not believe in fairytale and still be able to face the oppositions of life is a gift. Religion gives hope, build faith and strengthen you in the midst of oppositions. We are not all strong like you. Don't deprive people of that.

I ADMIRE YOUR HONESTY ON HOW YOU CLING TO RELIGION BECAUSE OF "HOPE".

BUT THE HOPE ON RELIGION IS WORTHLESS. YOU THINK YOU'RE NOT STRONG BECAUSE YOU WERE RAISED TO BELIEVE YOUR GOD IS YOUR STRENGTH, AND NOW CANNOT IMAGINE YOUR LIFE WITHOUT GOD, YOUR STRENGTH.

HOPE ON RELIGION IS WORTHLESS. VERY WORTHLESS BECAUSE IN THE REALITY OF LIFE, WE CAN ARGUE FROM NOW TILL TOMORROW, THE FACT REMAINS THAT RELIGION DOES NOTHING TANGIBLE ASIDES PROVIDING THE EMPTY HOPE YOU CLING TO.
NOW THERE ARE 2 KINDS OF HOPE, AND ONE IS USELESS.
FOR EXAMPLE, I AM SO BROKE. I HAVE A HUNDRED NAIRA AS MY LAST CASH SO I GAMBLE WITH IT, WITH THE "HOPE" THAT IT MAY MULTIPLY. MY HOPE MAY PAY OFF IF MY FAVORITE TEAM DELIVERS, THEN I WIN. THAT IS WHEN HOPE IS USEFUL. OR WHEN WE HOPE FOR THE CURE FOR AIDS. IT'S USEFUL BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE WORKING FOR IT EVEN IF IT WILL TAKE A THOUSAND YEARS, WORK IS GOING ON FOR IT. SO WE KEEP THE HOPE ALIVE.
BUT YOU CANNOT HOPE IN RELIGION TO BUILD YOU A SCHOOL. YOU CAN'T TAKE TEN SHOTS TO THE HEAD HAVING HOPE THAT A DEITY WILL KEEP YOU ALIVE. YOU CAN'T HOPE THAT YOUR CANCER OR DAMAGED KIDNEY SUDDENLY GETS BETTER. SUCH HOPE NEVER PAYS. YOU KEEP HOPING FOR A GREAT TRIP WHEN THERE'S NO ASSURANCE THAT YOU WON'T DIE IN A CRASH, SO WHY CAN WE NOT ABANDON WORTHLESS HOPE AND FACE REALITY? AND PREPARE FOR WHATEVER COMES?

I WROTE EVERY EXAM WITH TWO THINGS ON MY MIND EITHER I FAIL OR I PASS; WHEN I FAIL I'LL WRITE AGAIN. WHEN I PASS I PROCEED TO THE NEXT LEVEL. AND THAT WAS HOW I COMPLETED COLLEGE WITHOUT A SINGLE FAILED COURSE. NEVER PRAYED FOR SHIT. NEVER FEARED FAILURE BECAUSE I'VE CONDITIONED MY HEART THAT IT'S THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS AND WINS AND LOSSES ARE PART OF THE GAME. PRESENTLY, I GO OUT EVERY DAY AND GO TO BED EVERYDAY WITH THE SAME TWO THINGS ON MY MIND, EITHER I GO THROUGH THIS DAY OR I DIE. I DO NOT LIVE WITH THE USELESS HOPE THAT I'M DESTINED FOR GREATNESS AND TRAGEDY IS NOT MY PORTION. THAT'S A FALSE HOPE BECAUSE EVERY DEAD RELIGIOUS MAN ONCE BELIEVED THAT. I JUST LIVE MY LIFE MAKING THE MOST OUT OF EVERY MOMENT WHILE PREPARING FOR TOMORROW.. BUT NEVER TO PUT HOPE IN THE DEITY OF ANY RELIGION TO PRESERVE ME.
I GET THAT WE ALL CANNOT BE THAT STRONG, AND THE REASON IS THAT WE WERE RAISED WITH SUCH SILLY HOPES. I GREW UP HOPING IN NOTHING, BECAUSE NOTHING IS PROMISED. IRRESPECTIVE OF WHAT YOU BELIEVE, WHEN IT'S THE MOMENT FOR YOUR BODY AS A LIVING ORGANISM TO SHUT DOWN AND GO TO REST PERMANENTLY, NOTHING WILL CHANGE ANYTHING. SO WHAT USE IS YOUR HOPE IN GOD, WHEN AS LITTLE AS A SNAKE VENOM OR A GAS LEAK CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE??

The bolded are the major reasons why you and your kind embraced atheism.
YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHING.

Who is stoning anyone today for being gay?
DON'T WORRY. ONCE CORONAVIRUS PASSES WE'LL GO BACK TO SEEING IT IN THE NEWS.

Women are admonished to obey and submit to their husbands. There is a reason for this. This in no way makes women/wives inferior.
WHY WOULD MEN NOT OBEY AND SUBMIT? WHO PUT YOU IN CHARGE OF ANYTHING?

The husband is the head of the family. There is a reason for this.
WHAT IS THE REASON? AND WHO MADE THIS "RULE"?

The violation of all these rules has consequences.
WHAT CONSEQUENCES? WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF A WOMAN DISOBEYS HER HUSBAND AND BUYS THAT FINE DRESS OR SOMETHING?

Those who use religion to steal are just thieves. It is not religion that made them thieves. They are taking advantage of something as important as religion. I don't think there is any religion that advocates stealing.
YOUR BIBLE ADVOCATES STEALING, MURDER, KIDNAP, RAPE, SLAVERY.. DON'T LET ME START.


No one will ever be able to eradicate religion.
MANY RELIGIONS HAVE BEEN ERADICATED THROUGHOUT HISTORY. EVERYTHING HAS ITS TIME.

2. He got the whole world in his hands and he loves us all no matter our colour: lol, this is the most ridiculous of them all....first yahweh did not hide his special love for the Israelites as out of all the different races he created on earth, he chose the Israelites to be bis chosen people...he led series of battles on behalf of the israelites...destroyed cities for his chosen ones, if we leave the affairs of the world unto yahweh, there will surely be world wars every year. Because no one is more racist than yahweh the god of the Jews.
He got the whole world in his hands and the world is ravaged by diseases, war, poverty, hunger, deaths...

3. God loves all the little children, he said they should come to him gringrin

1.Now go and strike Amalek and completely destroy everything that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’
2. His prophet elisha did not hesitate to spare the kids mocking him, then two female bears came out of the woods and mauled 42 of the children.”
3. He destroyed the first borns of Egypt ...what a loving merciful slow to anger god

YAHVEH loves all his children. He chose the Israelites as his inheritance for a purpose. Through one of the tribes he sent his begotten Son into the world. However, today he has set apart all those who come to him through his Son as his chosen people, including Israelites.

YAHVEH is not responsible for diseases, war, poverty, hunger, death, ravaging the world. Human beings are responsible for such activities. In fact, it is the activities of humans that bring about the destruction of the earth. Take for example, homosexuality. Can you feed on your excreta? The human anus has been referred to as the dirtiest part of the human body. Yet people feast on it with the tongue and insert penis into it. What about the food laws? The Creator of heaven and earth has given to man the list of things to eat and things not to eat. If man disregards this, should he then be held accountable for the consequences?


That land was polluted through demon worship. The children had already been contaminated. Such events serve as lessons today. On the day YAHVEH will destroy this world, both young and old on the part of wickedness will be destroyed. Again, children were also held accountable for the sins of their fathers. But now, every soul that sins is the one that will die. You better choose your part now while you can.

Those cursed youths got exactly what they deserved. It would have been an abomination if Elisha had spared those bastards. Did they not know that he was a prophet of the Most High? They knew what they were doing. YAHVEH Almighty will never acquit the guilty or condemn the innocent. Had it been not justice, he would not have answered Elisha's prayer. How was his baldness their problem?


The Egyptians deserved exactly what they got. Prior to that, they had killed the sons of the Israelites. Did the Egyptians stop their pharoah when he ordered the killing of the male infants of the Israelites? It was justice.


YAHVEH is a merciful and benevolent God. He is slow to anger abounding in love and faithfulness. But he will not leave the guilty unpunished. He will never condemn the innocent. To those who love him, he showers his love. Those who hate him he will repay to their face.

You ain't better because they are better than you in one aspect. The belief in spirituality. I have seen enough to know that it ain't only the universe that is built logically, the relationship that exist between man is based on logic. And religion discovered that first.

Completely false. We build our society on mutual need and aid not on religion. Religion is not what determines how a city should be planned for example. It is pure fantasy to say that you cannot build a working society without religion when there are many segments of society that work absolutely well without religion.

This was emotional, it's the first time I've ever read something like this, most Christians usually lie to themselves till they start believing it, then proceed lying to others and get angry when they refuse to believe this lie.

First of all let me explain spirituality to you. Spirituality is the need that exist in every man to be happy and to be at peace. It's the hunger for a purpose. It's knowing that there's more to you than the materiality of this world. It is the hunger to believe that there is more to this world.

Civilisation was not built religion, don't be deceived. Civilisation was built on the realisation that cooperation was more beneficial than in-fighting. Religion is an attempt to stop people from arbitrarily changing societies laws by giving it the laws a veneer of divine approval. There were laws before any of the major religions surfaced. The development of religion came as a result of an attempt to deal with the sorrow of death. Even elephants have been shown to gather together to mourn the passing of one of them.

We have all manner of sub-societies that work well without religion. Professional bodies, all your law enforcement bodies, financial institutions, etc.

There can't be a country that is 100% irreligious neither can there be a country that is 100% religious.

Since you claimed how a country is religious is the factor that determine how it would be peaceful, orderly...

Then we should expect countries with 90% adherents to religion to be more peaceful, orderly... Than a country with 40,50, 60, 70% population that are irreligious.

But no the reverse is the case. Nigeria, Afghanistan, somalia, congo... are extremely religious probably more than 90%. Are this countries peaceful and orderly?

While countries like Estonia, Netherland, Denmark, Sweden, Czech... That have good number of atheist and irreligious people tend to be more peaceful and orderly. Or are this countries not peaceful and orderly?

It shows you don't need religion to be peaceful and orderly!

LoL! I am surprised at myself that all this end time talk is like water off a duck. I used to eat this stuff up. I even speculated that Obama was the antichrist. SMH. LoL!

Lol, there is no limit to what indoctrination can make you think or believe.

What keep people is fear. Fear to even reason and question what they had been made to believe.

When I was living the shackles of religion and the idea of a God, I sometimes rebuke myself to stop thinking about stuffs that didn't add up. I'll even pray for forgiveness, I fear that thunder might strick me death grin

My thought then was how can God exist?
If there is no god and the universe didnt exist what would be present? If is nothing, then what is nothing? In fact I knew and worry about infinite regression since at an early age. Probably @ 13. Mine came very hard because didn't even care about religion but the origin or how god and the universe came to exist.

There can't be a country that is 100% irreligious neither can there be a country that is 100% religious.

Since you claimed how a country is religious is the factor that determine how it would be peaceful, orderly...

Then we should expect countries with 90% adherents to religion to be more peaceful, orderly... Than a country with 40,50, 60, 70% population that are irreligious.

But no the reverse is the case. Nigeria, Afghanistan, somalia, congo... are extremely religious probably more than 90%. Are this countries peaceful and orderly?

You are absolutely missing my point. The problem of Nigeria is not religion. It's failure of governance. We have no government. We have no institutions. If other countries are succeeding despite been religious, then religion is not the problem.

If not for religion Nigerians would be far worst than this.
