The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by Nobody: 9:47pm On Jun 29, 2012 |
Atheists are free to express their religion – one of unbelief. They are also free to believe in Evolution. Both of these are expressions of their faith – making it a religion. If anyone honestly studied the theory of evolution, they would know this. Even the famous atheist Dawkins acknowledged that there was some outside force of intelligence in the creation, yet he refused to give God the glory. |

Master Piece !! |

I think it borders on cruel, barbaric and undeniably inhuman behavior that Atheism would be classified as a Religion by anyone. it is typical thinking for Religious folks to try to associate or leverage on a position that allows them to attack other religions or thinking on equal terms or better yet, at a perceived higher position. There are obviously many positive virtues in Religion, however there are three times as many vices, faults and dehumanizing values in Religion. The Argument is flawed from the beginning but that is not the real danger. The real danger is that severely closed-minded folks will latch on to this flawed position and make it a daily mantra for the rest of their lives. A sad travesty indeed. Christianity (even more than islam) thrusts itself on it unwilling audience and threatens you with eternal damnation and soul-death if you do not submit - I can only tolerate this because as closely-similar as it is to ISLAM, Christians hardly actualize their threat, it speaks volumes. Indeed it is a Master Piece. one that Hitler would have been proud of had he the time to come upon it. it is a potent composition for sub-human servitude and eternal stupidity. It bears the very seeds of dehumanization. You can lap it up like the obedient dog you are (well not you personally -the sheeple more like) - or pass it up for the regurgitated chaff that it truly is and practice the aspects of Religion that encourages Wisdom,Knowledge and Understanding - not this Meecrob. PEACE (See you in Church on Sunday) |

Many similarities exit between Christianity and Atheism |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by lagerwhenindoubt(m): 10:37pm On Jun 29, 2012 |
toba.: If you will agree to discount superficial similarities akin to saying because we both have eyes, then we are human. that line of reasoning is what is bringing about this uncomfortable association. When truly devout Christians (and there are some on Nairaland) encourage and practice humanizing injunctions in the Bible - it imbues their thinking and actions with elements that contribute meaningfully to the rest of humanity. (An Atheist is no less moral than a devout Christian who practices what he preaches) ISLAM is a Religion (of Peace) why is it not comparable to Athesim,let us work with ISLAM instead of Christianity after-all, they are both Religions are they not? |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by Nobody: 10:51pm On Jun 29, 2012 |
Not at all. Similarities exit in beliefs and practising the beliefs |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by lagerwhenindoubt(m): 10:56pm On Jun 29, 2012 |
toba.: Please proceed to explain. I must advice that you do not submit lists or articles that are cleverly sprinkled with unfounded assumptions and leveraged to cement the argument that atheism is a religion - I would gladly wish it were but it is simply a position in thought open to reason and the ever-growing evidence the previously unknown presents. you have kept me from my pillow |

Each man to his own, go do your thing, as our Muslim folk will say, there is no compulsion in religion. Suffice me to say, that Atheism , especially the new brand is a religion for all it's intents and purposes. There is a seething anger, something quite remarkably cruel about this religion, a mocking, intolerant and almost Stalinist attribute to it, seeking to suppress and oppress the faith of the new and the few, I say depart from us you all, practise your religion and leave us to practise ours. We will do what we deem fit for our salvation. All the articles that spam this beloved board of ours, day and night ,have almost turned this forum into a Nazi style camp with the brownshirts bullying, intimidating and mocking the sheeple. Go away y'all I say |

frosbel: [size=18pt] Hitler was a catholic. Frosbel why do you and your copy and paste thread LIE?[/size] |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by Nobody: 11:15pm On Jun 29, 2012 |
logicboy01: Hitler was not a catholic some may say , others say he was, the point is , he was not a Christian , period. History however points to his character as a godless tyrant who was an atheist in deeds. But in case he does not fit the Jigsaw, you may want to boast about your Stalin and Chairman Mao, quite exemplary characters they were , both ardent atheists and mass murderers The copy and paste exercise was one of agreement and alignment in principle. |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by logicboy01: 11:30pm On Jun 29, 2012 |
frosbel: Hitler was a catholic who was celebrated by the catholic church. Do not be stupid. Mao was a communist- communism is a state religion. Mao even had some Bhuddist support. Stalin was a communist. |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by Nobody: 7:43am On Jun 30, 2012 |
frosbel:Can you elucidate further on the highlighted? |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by Nobody: 10:20am On Jun 30, 2012 |
lagerwhenindoubt:I've always been very carefull not to tag atheism as a religion same way i wouldnt want to tag Christianity as one. the similarities abound. An adamant christian would require a very strong conviction to accept no god exist same way an atheist would require more than the bible to accept God exist |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by logicboy01: 10:33am On Jun 30, 2012 |
toba.: Bullsh1t! Atheism is based on a simple factual statement; not enough evidence to believe in a god. A christian runs on faith in God. Christianity is a religion. Only a disingenuous person would say it isnt |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by Nobody: 11:11am On Jun 30, 2012 |
logicboy01: Atheism is a religion Pal. A religion with a belief in the concept of nothingness or evolution or both . |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by logicboy01: 11:13am On Jun 30, 2012 |
frosbel: Huh? Not all atheists even believe in evolution. I was an atheist before I even understood evolution What is this concept of nothingness? Why do you lie so much? |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by Nobody: 11:16am On Jun 30, 2012 |
logicboy01: But enough evidence to believe in the delusion of some unexplained universal processes. Atheists have been looking for the answers for eons and still have not arrived at the truth, they seem to be going round in circles, almost as if under a spell, talking about things they know not, trying to make sense out of nonsense and then accusing others of a belief in the spaghetti monster. Who is confused here, at least we are rock solid in our belief, call it a blind leap of faith, but you and your cohorts are still in uncertain territory, you cannot explain anything but you attack anyone who accuses you of the inability to explain anything. "Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools." - Romans 1:22 1 Corinthians 1:20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by Enigma(m): 11:17am On Jun 30, 2012 |
frosbel: No matter how much anyone denies it or makes convoluted but ultimately false arguments, (evangelical) atheism is now certainly a religion (a daft religion but no less a religion) as has been confirmed in various ways --- including intellectually and legally. |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by Nobody: 11:24am On Jun 30, 2012 |
Enigma: Absolutely agree ! |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by Nobody: 11:30am On Jun 30, 2012 |
logicboy01:what made u believe that there's no god? are u strongly convinced that there's no god? what are the scientific evidence that there's no God? |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by Nobody: 11:32am On Jun 30, 2012 |
toba:] What makes you believe there's no Santa Claus? Are you strongly convinced that there's no Santa Claus? What are the scientific evidence that there's no Santa Claus? |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by Nobody: 11:37am On Jun 30, 2012 |
musKeeto: ] Santa Claus if I may add is not a Christian figure , so this line is getting quite boring ! Besides what have you guys discovered that is new ? Please let us know . |

Enigma: Where is the legal confirmation of atheism being a religion in Nigeria? |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by Enigma(m): 11:53am On Jun 30, 2012 |
^^^Do you believe that there should be freedom of religion in Nigeria? Should atheists in Nigeria have freedom of "conscience"? |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by dalaman: 12:09pm On Jun 30, 2012 |
Enigma: ^^^Do you believe that there should be freedom of religion in Nigeria? I am asking you a question and you are replying me with more questions. Where is the legal confirmation of atheism being a religion in Nigeria? That is what I want you to show me. |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by Nobody: 12:10pm On Jun 30, 2012 |
frosbel:What new mystery has the Holy Spirit unravelled to you? Please share... |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by Enigma(m): 12:16pm On Jun 30, 2012 |
dalaman: Interesting; I thought I was doing you a favour and had intended to take it even further but OK let me play your game then: point to where I claimed that atheism had been legally confirmed as a religion in Nigeria. |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by Nobody: 12:19pm On Jun 30, 2012 |
oh no u atheists are at it again, with ur usual opt out musKeeto: ]what has santa Claus got to do with the universe? has santa claus being linked with the creation of the universe as much as the christian God has been? since im dwelling on the similarities between christianity and atheism, how does ur introducing santa Claus to these make anysense? |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by Nobody: 12:21pm On Jun 30, 2012 |
dalaman:depends on which 'God' u are talking about |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by Nobody: 12:21pm On Jun 30, 2012 |
error |
Re: The Religion of Atheism by a Brother by dalaman: 12:23pm On Jun 30, 2012 |
Enigma: That means atheism is not a religion in Nigeria then. If it were you would have provided the legal backing already. |
