It's nice talking with you. Keep this up

onumadu:
No, feminism is NOT a belief in the EQUALITY of the sexes.
As for your other choice of words in addressing GOD, clearly you hate or despise the idea of a GOD. lol
It is well.
What I would tell you is that humans can really do whatever they want on this earth ... BUT there are consequences.
You will never see God debating man on these things. The "natural order of things" (AKA GOD'S LAWS) will simply whip you back in line each time you deviate.
That is why there have been MANY extinct nations in the history of the world. I was shocked to learn about THOUSANDS of nations and languages that ceased to exist in the vicissitudes of human sojourning on this planet.
Do the research yourself. You'd be shocked too.

So you're telling me men and women existing together would make your God destroy mankind like the days of Noah

onumadu:
I concede the point that a feminist can be anyone...

Next point about equal rights is that it is a human construct which religion simply "flow" with.
if majority of humans today think that women are superior to men (never mind equality), religions will likely co-opt that.
Spirituality is a different matter because it only recognizes TRUTHS.

Personally I think that feminism is a form of religion, and any religion has the potentials to become dangerous.

God and religion are not one and the same thing, though they often appear so.

A religion is practice of believing in something immortal. Feminism is again
The equal treatment of sexes and being awarded the same equal rights. I believe God's not stupid to the point he'll say that there shouldn't be equality of human rights.
Racism is acceptable in the bible if you're to mention about god's words why's racism not acceptable now and treating females as not equals acceptable?
It's because we humans have evolved with a greater thinking capacity than the previous generations

MaxInDHouse:
I doubt if you know the indepth meaning of the term "peaceful" because if you do you won't say the above.

Let me ask you: do these so called peaceful countries live together without using weapons to threaten one another into abiding by rules?

Peace means completely trusting your neighbour without anyone forcing what all of you agree upon as standard for right and wrong. In the case where some are PAID to serve as law enforcement agents in any society then there's no peace because it's the weapons that replaces the supreme being making those issuing orders to the law enforcement agents gods in disguise!

So you believe in religion there's absolutely peace. Quite interesting.
What you're bringing up is entirely another topic. Do i have to believe in the same thing as my neighbor before we can live peacefully? Or we must both believe in God before we live together in peace?
You claim in places there's no religion weapons replace the religion which is quite an interesting opinion. .
So I'm going to let you give me your reference fact checked by international organizations

Onucs:
I don't care about your believes bro

But do you honestly think a woman especially, these 21st century women have what it takes to make crucial decisions in leadership?

I don't think so.

Yes and yes
They have what it takes to make crucial leadership
And what leadership are we talking about?
Their lives! Do you think men ought to dictate how a lady should live her life in the 21st century?

onumadu:
For saying these bolded words, you've identified why most Nigerians don't want to hear the word "feminist" because feminism and atheism tend to go hand in hand.
Love them or hate them Nigerians are spiritual people and by spiritual I mean they believe in GOD.
Hope you've got your answer.

A feminist can be anyone
Is believing in equal rights a sin in your religion?
Or does your religion believes women are nothing important?

general111:
I have met quite a number of them, believe me, nigerian feminist are just bitter females who are just taking it out in males.

What do you mean by bitter?
Could you explain further please?

Onucs:
Feminism is trash bro

God made man head for a reason.

I don't believe in "God" Mr man
It's a primitive thinking that man is the head and woman is the neck taken from a book that has no relevance to todays culture.
And even if we were to refer to the primitive time, men were the head because they were risk takers for the clan and women take care of the children. It was a time of the most powerful would survive.
We're in the information age, the smartest person survives now not the most physically capable person. So to say man was a head for a reason is nothing but a primitive thinking

Feminism is the advocacy of equal rights as human beings and not conforming to gender stereotypes.
Women are actually persecuted in nigeria for standing out or thinking for themselves.
Because you're guys not women doesn't mean this thing doesn't exists. For example
As a guy, you go out to get somethings you don't have to worry about getting raped or getting catcalled by people
However women have to worry about that every single day.
So because you're not aware or you don't know about the discrimination means you should classify feminism as trash
That's a very insensitive thing to say

We need more feminists in this country,
Why're the ladies mostly quiet?

Snitch24:
can there be a god without a religion

No. They're basically the same.
religion revolves around the idea of a God

MaxInDHouse:
Please i will give you more than a year (if you want) to meditate thoroughly before answering this question:

Just one question: in the absence of a supreme being what logic do you think can be of help to make human beings cohabit peacefully!

Humans can cohabit peacefully without having to refer to a supreme being.
The most peaceful countries in the world are countries where the majority doesn't believe in a supreme being.
In the name of religion more harms have been done to the world than any genocide or war.
From the crusades in middle east to the terrorism in Africa.
There's this believe" if I do this, my god would reward me"
However the absence of religion signifies you come to fact with your mortality.
You see no sense why someone should be killed or why there should be any argument about a thing or war.
Iceland is a country where 99% of its youth population doesn't believe in God and it's among the most peaceful countries in the world

Got any questions for atheists?
Bring it on
Ask what's on your mind

No sé porque... Me prohibieron en mi primera cuenta porque estaba hablando en español.

Naijaspanishguy:
Pues, depende de tí y donde vives.
Español es bastante popular en todo el mundo y si vives en EE. UU encuentras mucha hispano hablantes allá.

Entonces, de donde estás chateando?

Hasta luego, Chulo.

Vivo en Nigeria
