How Does One Become An Atheist? by Depsui(m): 10:44am On Apr 18, 2021
Is atheism for only the academics? What are the qualifications and procedures to become an atheist?
Re: How Does One Become An Atheist? by Ammishaddai: 10:49am On Apr 18, 2021
To me, the qualifications to be an Atheist are three :

1. Steal from God and claim His moral standards are yours without giving credit to Him.

2. Have a shallow sense of reasoning when it comes to the theory of " the God of the Gaps"

3. Trying to place the burden of proof on theist by constantly shying from the burden of proof that is shared by all

Nothing special in been an Athiest the Moment you stop believing in a supreme being and other superstitious things you Become an Athiest. There are stupid Athiest and there are Smart Athiest but Majority of Athiest are Smart especially Those who use Logic and reasoning To decipher The reality of this world Because it takes a Good Brain to figure and snap out of Manipulative and Complex Doctrine engraved in your System since birth. You can be an Athiest by either Trying to find the truth about religion, God and The universe or by denying God and religion. Either way, you gonna find loads of sensless bullshit attached to each and every religion in this world.

This is a not-too-bright answer. Whether you accept it or not, atheisim is a form of belief. The choice not to believe in a god is a belief system in itself. So cast that idea that Athesim is not a belief.


Another thing is atheist are not really smart people. Rather, the bulk of them believe in things that are founded on assumptions. And to believe in assumptions doesn't really sit well with the word "smart".

I believe that a God exists because of the theory of cause and effect. So how about you, do you believe that there was a cause for the universe to exist? Or are we just here by a cosmic accident?
Re: How Does One Become An Atheist? by Eriokanmi: 11:12am On Apr 18, 2021
Firstly, you must share in the vague and unfunded belief of theory of the evolution of man which says man evolved from homo erectus to homo habilis and homo sapiens but the same homo sapiens had stopped revolving into another feature like a man having 3 heads or 4 legs and apes had remained apes till today without going through the same theory of evolution phase ever since.

Secondly, you must have a belief that your forebears jumped from the skies and nobody created you.

Lastly, you must think there's no God and the heaven and earth existed on its own and there's no God.

Lol, funny question.
"procedures to be become an atheist".
First of all, you have to purchase the registration form from our headquarters in Abuja, but before you purchase the form, you should have carried out various blood tests which you'll present. You'll be interviewd by one of our high members who'll then decide if you're qualified or not. So good luck. cheesy

Everything you see in Nature and in this world Never never ever created themselves.

Some Other Person whether Camry, Chair, Phone, man, rock, tree, animal etc created them!

And Every Creator, is Separate and Distinct and Outside His creation!

Thus, Our Creator Who created both this Toy House that we call World and us the Toys, Whom we call God, is Beyond and Outside us, His creations.
