But many folks that were 'reasonable atheists' later came back to become strong Christians and even apologists, what do u think turn their reason.

Certain theists are willing to physically harm.. or ostracize unbelievers if they have the opportunity. The constitution doesn't protect religious freedom as much as it should. If Nigeria could have open debates like they do in America where you won't be worried about your safety afterwards.. then I'll be the first to jump on it

Show me evidence of atheists attacking christians in Nigeria. I can show you evidence of muslims attacking (and even killing) non-believers. I can show you evidence of Christians destroying the properties of traditional worshippers. Show me evidence of atheists attacking non-atheists in Nigeria.

Of course everyone is born an atheist.
Ask a 6 baby what does “god” mean.

No one is born an atheist. The idea that everyone is born an atheist is a false narrative being pushed forward by some atheist who don't want to accept responsibility for the decision they have taken not to believe in a god without evidence.

They also want to create the impression that being an atheist is natural since we were all born that way. But this is not true.

I see it has shifting the blame for what they have chosen to become, and one needs to ask ,why? There's nothing really wrong in towing the part of reason over religious indoctrination.


Being an atheist is the personal conviction that deities do not exist and there is enough reason to take that postion.

Babies don't have such conviction yet. They're
born neutral and so can't be labelled as atheist, theist or anything else.

Apart from the religious God or gods presented to use by the different religion in our midst, nobody is sure if something that be liken to a God doesn't exist

So the correct thing is that babies are born neutral and not atheist

My bad, i meant everyone is born an agnostic.
They can’t believe or disbelieve in what they know NOTHING about.

If religion is LOGICAL and based on reason, then why is it called FAITH?

Believe in God existed tens of thousands of years before Christianity. Christianity is a relatively new religion. Get your facts right.

Claiming You Don't know that EVERYTHING has a SOURCE is like an Ostrich burying its head in the Sand.

Do you really think everything we see plus all their programmings is a mere spectacular accident?

You mean Christians created the term “god” which you’ve been conditioned to put capital g as “God”?

Is it wise to play along with been a Christian as an Atheist? I am finding it difficult to fake, it seems like a major blow to myself to lie to myself.

I came to the age of reason.
So where has the reason got you dear? Are you more enlightened now? Do you now know the meaning of life? Do you now know how you came to be? Or you just assume the big bang theory, you just materialized from thin air?

I don't think this has to do with your family or people around you. It has everything to do with you.
Deep inside you, you know that atheism is the real "living a lie." How can you not believe in a supreme being that designed the wonderful universe as we know it. And you as a human being, have you even taken the time to study your body? You think that is all just come accident.

My dear lady, you are not yet an atheist. Infact you are very much theist. When you an atheist, even you will know.

Not my intention and at the same time I don't think there is a mild way to put it. As a practicing Catholic for more than 20 years before seeing and reading arguement from the other side, I don't think any reasonable person would not question things further.

If you are at the stage of questioning things then you can say you are a sceptic or agnostic.

You haven't yet assumed atheism yet.

The best form of religion is to know your maker on your own. Decide within yourself if you want to believe in a supreme God who created the universe. And who directs your life, or otherwise.

I'm not so good at talking. But you must make up your mind.

Take a moment to sit down and ask yourself this question: What is nothing?
Re: Do You Fake Being A Christian As An Atheist In Nigeria? by LeHMaR(m): 2:01pm On Aug 14, 2022
If any Christian or Muslim can be true to themselves. Answer this. If you were born into a Buddhist family or Hindu family?? Whay are the chances that you'll be Christian or Muslim today?? You might lie to yourself and think you'll still believe in your current religion..
But think for a moment, Hypothetically, let's say the Buddhist god is the real God and no other Religion is allowed into heaven. Wouldn't you ask what kind of God would allow you to be born into a non-bhuddist family if he knows it'll influence your religion?
But we both know that your God will punish you for thinking that even if Hypothetically, despite the fact that he made your brain capable of thinking that.

Atheist is not a belief. Is abstinence a sex position?

You're are wrong actually because atheism by definition can either be described as a lack of belief in the existence of any deity or divine being or the belief that God(s) doesn't (do not) exist.

I think the analogy you were looking to make applies more to religion vis-a-vis sex positions, and not to belief systems. Because even even a lack of belief in a concept is also a form of belief.

That's not a fair answer. It's almost as if we're fighting. Your answer suggests that every theist is unreasonable or immature in terms of reasoning faculty. I believe you should be able to make your point without trying to bring down others at the same time.

Pls where exactly did she bring anyone down here?

Sorry to ask sir, are you trying guilt trip her or what?
