Doesn't matter what you think.

The spiritual side of human is mysterious and can only be known by connecting with God

plaetton:

BS.
What else is there to know about Christianity?
Is there a new revelation that we have not heard about?

The guy is saying, just like many of have stated repeatedly in the past, that he is allergic to Bullshyt.
Many of us were simply born that way, though it takes longer for some people to come to that realization and accept it.
No amount of Bullshyt can penetrate his mind.

Simple.

My Dad called me this evening to tell me the essence of praying. The thing is that I don't believe praying solves anything Atleast to me. the day I stopped believing and started working more on myself, I found out that things started getting better for me than those who goes to the Church and Mosques.

When I think about a lot of things I have read and what I have experienced I feel like I have always been deceived all my life.

The Pastors and Prophets with their fake miracles or the Boko Haram and their suicide with the reasons of going to heaven to get virgins.

I currently live with them though I plan on moving to my own place by the end of this year or early next year.

I really want to tell them in a polite way so they can accept my way.

My Dad won't accept this, as he believes that it is God or nothing.

donbenie:
I discarded Christianity and its Tales By Moonlight.
As soon as I was old enough to realize all the Bible movies,that they show during Christmas festivities was just make believe sh1t..
More than 3 decades later,am still allergic to Bullsh1t.

Welcome to the Rationalists club.
You hv just liberated yourself mentally.
Every religion is a cult. They all view themselves as serving God the right way.
The Muslims,the Christians,the Hindus,the Buhdists etc each believe theirs is the only way to God .
Offering prayers to God in your own format is best and should be a personal thing.
God knows your problems more than you or anyone else do.
We have seen countries like Nigeria who believe their religion are the only ones chosen by God but the go cap in hands to the Chinese and Japanese asking for aids.
Self deceit!

Gilbertkwabena:


Lol... and those who doesn't follow ur so called doesn't know this mystery? or those who lives in deep forest that refuse to be known up till date don't know these mystery? stop fooling urself, b4 ur god was invented, people have always connected nd known mysteries... in fact the invention d religion u follow is rather taking ppl away from God rather than letting them know God.

sotall:


You need a personal encounter with God.
I didn't say you should go to church or mosque. Just search deeper within your heart and be sincere with your desire for God and he will shew himself to you.

You have taken a bold decision by wanting to stay away from religion but then you still have to battle with the mystery of the spiritual nature of man.
To answer that question, you need God.

To find God, you need a sincere and honest desire of your heart and will.

Remember science cannot answer the spiritual nature of man and this mystery is what all humans must confront and solve someday while you are alive on earth.
My advise is dont wait for life issues to make you running looking for your creator.

I always remember my biological class when we learnt about the theory of cells. Cells are the basic unit of life including humans.
Now one fact that was stated during that class is that " all cells come from previously-existing cells".
This means you have a creator. Take your time and find him.

Calibrator:
Same way I did.


By pointing out the obvious plot holes in the stories contained in the story books of whatever religion they practice.



They will start avoiding you themselves when they don't have any logical answers to your enquiries then you will have the freedom to do as you please.

litaninja:
**yawn**
Who created the creator of the existing cells?

rosalieene:

the birth of an Atheist.
Just like your dad said, ITS GOD OR NOTHING!!
HE HAS SEEN LIFE. HE KNOWS NO ONE CAN DO WITHOUT GOD.
EVER WONDERED WHY PEOPLE AT OLD AGE RUN TO GOD?
HOW MANY OLDER PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY ARE ATHEISTS?
HAVE YOU PONDERED OVER THIS?

WHEN LIFE HITS YOU SO HARD, THEN YOU WILL REALISE THAT ITS GOD OR NOTHING.

aribisala0:

I got you to be saying that people need to work and pray . Together
I am not sure if you get me though

I am saying that you can only say that for yourself
Many people do well without any prayer at all

Pelecius:

Of course, people do well without prayers, by just following the right principles. Which was why I said DILIGENCE is the primary principle for economic freedom. Anyone who's diligent in what he does will climb high (it's a Biblical principle also. Prov 22:29)

Prayers is an added advantage on such case.

Professorcplus:
@op indadi. Welcome to reality... It only takes one with a bold mind to take such bold decision.... I was once like you... But I will share you with few life skills... Because, religion is embedded in our society.

A. You have to create a purpose for yourself to fill into those your over religion era. Truly one of the purpose of religion is to create purpose and meanings to this meaningless life. If the meaning becomes obscure, you create one for yourself...

B. Not being religious doesn't mean you have to become bad and lost your humanity in you. You have just over grown doing good thing for religion/heavenly rewards, instead, you do then for doing sake, out of good will regardless.

C. You need to recreate yourself, listen to podcasts, topic you seem interested, read book, you can even start exploring other religions book/bible, listen to the christian sermon. There are good lessons and life principles you can pick up from them all discarding the unirrelevant ones.

D. No doubt, you will always found yourself among the religious one, learn to get along with then, you don't necessarily need agree with then, Afterall everyone has a belief of disbelief in something.. Just stick to what you belief in. As for your parents, play along till they get the drift.

E. Learn to know that your destiny is in your hand. Do what you can do within your capacity/hand and do not leave everything to changes just like majority of xtains, they pray, pray more than they work.. and abandon major life principles...

F. Regardless of what you are, who you are, life can be hard, and funny enough, it doesn't give sh!t about anyone. People stick to religion because it simple make then feel good during trying times... You might as well have overgrown solidarity in the concept of God/religion but attimes, we need to keep our imagination higher. Find what give you that high fantasy. One of mine is casting crown songs and other good lyrics, I watch how superman save the world, I day dream even though I don't believe but it makes me feel better.

G. Lastly, don't waist all your youthful time, trying to make a point to people especially people of different faith, keep your faith to yourself, and let your actions do the talking. everyone can't agree with you. Just like most xtains don't associates with unbelivers, just like other religions doesn't associates with other. Move with those that accept you and leave those who doesn't just like King Solomon in the bible.

Religion put you in cage, you have to liberate yourself from man-made concept

CALCULUS16:
You don't want to belong to any religion or you don't believe in God. The purpose of religion is to reconnect you back to your creator. Its not about success. Most people think being successful is equal to having everything, becoming a billionaire, see you cant do anything beside God, if u have to be irreligious then try and be spiritual, but if u have to be spiritual then u need a part of religion.
I pray you don't see problems that will bring you down to the extent of seeking solutions until you pray. Prayer is our weapon, for those who believe in the power of the Almighty God
