indadi:ummmm a day will come and it is very close when you will realize that you need God. things that you think are working for you now are bait from satan to take you away further from God. There is a vacuum in your heart that cannot be filled until you allow Jesus to be your lord and saviour. Peace be unto you. 3 Likes |

indadi: How do you expect people to give you a sound advice with an incomplete story. You are keeping the reason for your decision away from the people you wish to receive sincere advice from, how would that be possible? You kept mentioning working hard and it now seems that those who are attached to religion don't work hard and you making it also to look like your father isn't working hard because he belongs to a religious group. Make no mistake about life... Life Is lived more in the spirit realm than the physical. There is no man under the sun making impact who doesn't belong to a religion. They are all connected to a spirit being and they pay their dues to those spirits including the people that claim to be atheist. I am a christian and one of the fundamental Teachings of the Christian faith as propounded by Jesus Christ is hard work and maintaining timing. I don't think there's any religion that encourages laziness. However, if you don't want anyone to disturb you because of religion, move out of your parent's house, town and state. But don't end up suicidal when you learn you took a wrong decision. Try tracing your way back, I once thought just the way you are thinking now until I encountered something wey pass eye 1 Like |

Chigold101: The only reason you're a Christian is because your parents raised you as one. Of course, you'd consider yourself lucky and fortunate. But, I do have to wonder,though,how many people really give much though to the fact that they happened to be born to Christian parents,and if they had been born,for example,to jewish parents,they would likely follow judaism,and if they had been born to Hindus or Muslim parents,they would likely follow Hinduism or Islam,and so on. Across the globe,there are people who have absolute belief in their religion,and that religion is exactly the religion their parents chose for them. (And,most likely,their parents belong to the particular religion for the same reason.) And these people feel strongly that their religion is correct. 6 Likes |

. I guess your parents still have much says on you which means you're still under them. Phrased otherwise, they still believe you're not mature enough to know what is right for you and what is not. If ^ is the case, just continue to live life while subtly showing your displeasure towards their belief. If you think you're man enough, then call your parents and some other siblings when ever they all are around, sit them down, and tell them you don't feel any religion. That you're good being morally upright. They will get angry for sometimes but will still reconcile with you las las. Don't try it without proper arms and defence around if your family is a Muslim one though. There is no peace among those ones. . 1 Like |

CalmElder: Thank God for your recovery. Many people die too young to have the opportunity to realise God almighty and godliness in life. When you have your parents still living with you on earth you always feel free wheeling and behaving as you like until they depart. But if you can calm down and learn from others and attend social occasions with a view to understand the happening you will have a good insight into life and God works. Psalm 14 is appropriate for this brother to read solemnly and seek full understanding in a church Bible class 1 Like |

EmmaxKeys:Lol... I've heard that line many times before but do you know what's good about this whole thing is that apart from my natural right that allow me to choose whatever I want to belong to. I am also supported by the constitution. I have the Right to Conscience, Expression and Religion. I have the right to choose to belong and not to belong. Nobody has the right to comply others to follow their faith. I respect all faith but I want to be no part of their worship. It will only end in tears for me when I decided to live another person's life. 5 Likes 1 Share |

indadi:Hypocrisy in religions whether organized or not has lead many to this situation you found yourself, ever multiplying of evils perpetuated in the name of religion has cast doubts on the minds of many. The fact remain. Man is created with a desire to worship God, whether known or unknown. The worst is when one become so foolish to say there is no God. But when you search for God he himself let you to find, he is not far from you. The first to this is to ask God, who are you? Or Who is God? head to https://www.jw.org |

Don't get it twisted... Being religious is different from believing in God (either Christ or Allah).. Religiousity is different from spirituality as well. Life is not ordinary. Everyone needs spirituality to survive in this world. It's not only about having money, good job, properties alone. I know people who don't go to church but at least they pray at home,follow online churches, read the bible, fast when necessary and go o about their lives, and things are working well for them. Infact you won't know that they don't go to church because their ways even seem purer than the churchgoers. Whilst I'm not encouraging that, I can say it's still better than not doing anything or believing in anything. God has created us in his own image and he connects with us through our spirituality irrespective of whether we associate with any religion or not. Finally, let me tell you that Christ is the way. Read your Bible and pray regularly. May God himself reveal himself to you beyond whatever your parents can do.. Regards 3 Likes |

If you use your head to reason instead of praying, things will work out. But if you use your head to reason and you now pray, things work out better. You'll get to a level that you need help from above to solve problems below. When you enter am, nobody go tell you. |

Alas, look at the way they are massacering them in their home and churches. Be honest with yourself, do you think the Christians up north will be much safer if they arm themselves rather than praying fervently that never works. 3 Likes |

DON'T BE GIVEN IN TO THE DEPRAVITY OF THESE PEOPLE, IT IS EASY TO GET CAUGHT UP IN THE SNARE OF INTELLECTUALISM. OUR EXISTENCE WOULD BE ENTIRE SHAMBLES IF WE CHOOSE TO IGNORE GOD, "A FOOL SAYS IN HIS HEART, THERE IS NO GOD" THERE CAN BE NO GOOD IN US,ONLY PRETENCE AND PRIDE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE WEAK NATURE OUR FLESH, "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked." WHILE SOME ARE GIVEN IN TO THE EVIL OF THIS WORLD ALREADY,DON'T JOIN THE CREW Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. |

3minssex: Understood! Same goes for everything you've learnt , pre programming is part of human existence eg Jobs, family, money , status, art, culture etc...are all man systems...yet we embrace them. What I've learnt is that religion's are based on rules. Humans need rules.. the untamed Man is a beast. Embrace some type of faith based system, they provide guidance and wisdom. 1 Like |
