Idrismusty97: Sure they are, They all go to your churches/Mosques because of societal pressure. Deep down they know they don't care about religion. The Internet is the best medium to express their opinions. With the pressure of hypocrites and brainwashed fanatics everywhere Nigeria is not a place to openly be an atheists.My dear what's d essence? Muslims,Christians et al are all proud of who they are,so y can't they do same? They only come to d internet to attack Christians and Muslims. Who is deceiving who? |

messpero90: i pity ur children because uve given them free ticket to HELL.You're funny oh. What makes you think the child is getting free ticket to hell? You stay within the confines of your room and conclude. Tomorrow, you wonder why people hate your belief. Peter in the bible that stayed in a gentile's house, did he go to hell even when then, the intolerance was pretty much? Instead of you to spend your time teaching about Jesus' love, you threaten people with hell. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Feraz: Haba bros!!! Isn't that too far fetched? aaahh! You think I am joking? Atheist? They gonna kill you! In Nigeria, it is better to believe in Guru Maharaji than open your mouth and say there is no God at all. If you are gay, guys might not talk to you but some girls would still be friends with you. If you are atheist, nobody will come near you, even other atheists wont come near you for fear of exposure. Even if you are in a danfo, people will say make you come down so that the bus wont have accident. You don't know Nigeria . 8 Likes 1 Share |

priscaoge: That's a risk. I can't let them brainwash my kids. With the rate Atheists are aggressivelyRefer to the bolded Feraz: Of course, there are atheists in this country. For the fact that some don't profess their beliefs due to stigmatization in job opportunities doesn't mean there aren't. I have lectures that are atheists.In addition, I don't think you can grow in your belief if you haven't questioned certain parts of your belief. When you question it, and answers are found, it helps you grow more and hold your belief strongly. 3 Likes 1 Share |

priscaoge:Atheists in this country won't have equal opportunities if they make their beliefs known so you can't blame them for not coming out with their beliefs. The only time you'll be listened to is if you've carved a niche for yourself. Though, these days, people are beginning to accept the fact that there are atheists. 4 Likes |

GodMode: Yes, they will definately meet people with different beliefs but not when as children. But when they are adults, they can decide what is good from what is bad. But i'm sure i would have grounded them in the word that they cant change their belief. |

Feraz: Refer to the boldedThat is why it is important to lay a solid foundation of truth for our kids so that they can always be ready to give a defence to everyone who asks them a reason for the hope that is in them, with meekness and fear just as 1Peter 3:15 instructs! But my point is this,Children are easily brainwashed,they are easily influenced by their fellow kids and that might make them to deviate! Isn't that a risk? |

Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go, so when he is old he will not depart from it." Christians need to read the Bible and follow the advice given. A parent that has to choose the playmates of the child is a parent who is failing in their basic parental responsibility....training the child. In the market....at the store...does this very parent first find out if the seller is an atheist? .....before getting on a bus or into a taxi does this very parent find out if the driver or any one of the passengers is an atheist?...when going for US visa..would the very parent.....?? I know they wouldn't. Hypocrite! 2 Likes 2 Shares |

My then 12 year old cousin, lets call him Andy, from a very Christian home had a friend in school who was from an atheist home. Now in my aunt's home, there is bible reading every night, thanksgiving and discussions on the bible passages read. So Andy goes to school and his atheist friend says something about there being no god. The boy is not coming from a place of personal belief, just what he heard from his parents. Now Andy being well versed in his faith and well taught by his parents goes on to explain God's love to his unbelieving friend. Andy's parents invite him to their home, there is love of God. It doesn't change the boys beliefs yet, but a seed has been sown. Discrimination is what causes problems in our society. Discrimination based on skin color, religion, tribe, weight, sexual orientation, even height(another thread). But all these things are so secondary if you truly love God. Do you love God? If you do, you do as his word commands and love your neighbour. Even if they don't love him or believe in him. Love them and your love might just be what brings them to Christ. 4 Likes |
