Lol...There are only two

The believer
The unbeliever.

If you do not believe 100%, you are an unbeliever. If you believe 1%, you are an unbeliever.

So what level of believer/unbeliever are you?

So Babagida is the father of tboss?

Is only a fool that says there's no God.

Only a fool create fools

I'm 6

1. Strong Theist: I do not question the existence of God, I KNOW he exists.

2. De-facto Theist: I cannot know for certain but I strongly believe in God and I live my life on the assumption that he is there.

3. Weak Theist: I am very uncertain, but I am inclined to believe in God.

4. Pure Agnostic: God’s existence and non-existence are exactly equiprobable.

5. Weak Atheist: I do not know whether God exists but I’m inclined to be skeptical.

6. De-facto Atheist: I cannot know for certain but I think God is very improbable and I live my life under the assumption that he is not there.

7. Strong Atheist: I am 100% sure that there is no God.

OP you are right! God came by chance and created man

orisa37:
We have God given Consciences and our so called free Will is therefore subject to The Instructions, Directions and Discernment of God. The Atheists don't want to hear this 'cos they're mad.

So you mean god instruct and direct us to do both good and evil?

Babacele:
until we understand the mysticism of Christianity we shall continue to find it difficult to understand some of the beautiful teachings in the Bible. For example the story of creation is an allegory. abi you know where garden of Eden dey?

You that understand tell us na

The last time i attended church service was around February 2016.
Before then, It was around December 2013.
In fact, since 2009 till date, i dont think i have attended church up to 10times.

So tell us about yours

idris4r83:
if God came by accident then he is not God. My God is eternal, he begets not and non is he begotten. He is there even before time and will be there after time cos he created the time. The Genesis of my God and his nature is totally beyond human comprehension. If u can understand the genesis of God, then he seizes to be God.

So god started existing suddenly from nothing and from nowhere? Perfect sense indeed. A god who created evil and still punish people for doing evil, is that one god?

MrPresident1:
Read again, slowly, maybe you will understand.

No thanks, i have wasted 2mins of my life already, cant afford to waste more on same thing

idris4r83:
so funny

And your god that came into existence by accident makes perfect sense to you abi?

We have no divine arms to lean on yet we have each other? Yet we are godless? Very very interesting.

When people provide their arms and shoulders for others to lean on, that is divine, and that is love, and that is God.

You my friend are only irreligious, you are not godless! Your godlessness begins on the day you withdraw your shoulder from your fellow human being.

Are you typing to make sense or just for attacking sake?

Seun:
We are all godless, really, whether we realize it or not. We have no divine arms to lean on, but we have each other, and that's good enough.

Quote of the year!

Atheists are the most peace loving people on earth.

when all the nigeria customers dey move abroad go treat themselves wetin you expect?

Seun:
I used to have a don't ask don't tell policy as I was more focused on business, but now religion is one of my favorite topics to talk about. I'm tired of people assuming that I'm a Christian and then being 'disappointed' on learning the truth. I want everybody I meet to already know.

Na wa o, oga seun, don't you think this will affect your business dealings? Judging from my own side, I am open to telling people i don't go to church, and that's the most i can say. Most of them start keeping distance from me (especially the female folks). I don't even know how i can start telling people i don't believe in god. Dem fit even shoot me

johnydon22:
Yes and none have ostracized me too. Most rather have immense respect for me

Na wa o, you must be living in another planet then

Hati13:
When someone asks me, what is your religion or if we are discussing things related to religion, I will tell them.

I'm an Ethiopian and people here are very religious, but I won't face that much criticism . Both my parents are non-believers.

You mean your parents are atheist?
@boldText: You mean people there don't criticize you when you tell them you don't believe in god?

felixomor:
As u can see,
No answer is forthcoming.

Actually, many of them are keyboard atheists only.

hopefulLandlord is here already

hopefulLandlord:
this is also a good one https://www.nairaland.com/3498161/does-family-know-atheist-what

Very nice thread

hopefulLandlord:
Visit this thread https://www.nairaland.com/3638370/freethinkers-nigeria-fear-nigerians

It's a nice thread advising freethinkers to be outspoken no matter the odds. Now, i want to know how outspoken freethinkers are out there and how they cope with being ostracized. This is because i tend not to meet any in real life except on nairaland.

Atheist in the house, do you make your believes known openly and publicly asides on social media or anonymous forum?

If no, Why?

If yes? How do you cope with being ostracized?

cc: seun

nice move

Nice thread. Please how do i join?

Sometimes i just wish scientist didn't put a single effort to make our world a better place.
Somehow, they made life difficult for us.

And now, one now need to go to hospital when one is sick to receive treatment whereas we could just pray and get healed immediately

Science made the eradication of ebola possible after so much struggles. Something we could just pray and ebola will just flee

Science made us to spend to drill boreholes when we could just pray, and then use one long stick and hit on the ground and water will start gushing out.

There are lots and lots of them.
Science is evil!

If average calorie intake is less than average calories burn, you lose weight

If average calorie intake is greater than average calories burn, you gain weight


If average calorie intake is equal to average calories burn, you neither lose nor gain weight

So work around what you take in and your daily activities

hopefulLandlord:
The other problem with the "free will" argument, of course, is that the Bible makes it plain that God is no respecter of free will.

Probably the most egregious example is Exodus, wherein multiple times we are told, "But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go" (and variations upon that theme). God repeatedly forced Pharaoh to refuse, then punished Pharaoh (for the coerced refusal) by sending various plagues, up to and including murdering all the firstborn children of Egypt.

And to add insult to injury, after he had slaughtered the children and permitted Pharaoh to free the Israelites, "the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians." So, at any time, God could have simply moved them to let the Israelites go, without need for inflicting rains of frogs and bloody rivers, killing all their livestock, and murdering their children. But he waited to do that until after he had mostly sated his sadistic tendencies.

(I say "mostly", for a couple of chapters later, he once again abrogated Pharaoh's free will, "hardening his heart" to make him pursue the Israelites.)

hmmmmn, this one is strong!
