Most athiest are depressed. All those things the OP mentioned only gives temporal excitement.

Maybe the ones you know (that is even if you know any), anyone can be depressed. Most christians are depressed

Looooooool it doesnt even cover

According to google
Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon in which a person either during falling asleep (hypnagogia) or awakening (hypnopompia), temporarily experiences an inability to move, speak, or react.

It is a transitional state between wakefulness and sleep, characterized by muscle atonia (muscle weakness). It is often accompanied by terrifying hallucinations (such as an intruder in the room) to which one is unable to react due to paralysis, and physical experiences (such as strong current running through the upper body).

One hypothesis is that it results from disrupted REM sleep, which normally induces complete muscle atonia to prevent sleepers from acting out their dreams. Sleep paralysis has been linked to disorders such as narcolepsy, migraines, anxiety disorders, and obstructive sleep apnea; however, it can also occur in isolation.

I don't have to say anything more. This is what many call attack in their sleep. Dark age thinkers. As I said before, asthma is also very much like a spiritual attack but I am glad it has treatments that are absolutely scientific. People like you have nothing meaningful to contribute to humanity than spread superstitions instead of helping find scientific solutions that can be trusted. I am yoruba and chicken pox used to be considered a punishment from the demon-god shopona, but is it true? Why are there vaccines for chicken pox now? Does it mean humans can be vaccinated against attacks from demons using drugs made by scientists?
That you don't understand something does not mean you should mock people who try to understand them. When we scientifically understand things we experience we can always provide solutions that work to them. Just like solutions to asthma and chicken pox that seem mysterious have been understood and attended to

Speechless3:
I actually expect only wrong answers. I guess when you suddenly and strangely find yourself in the parlour when you crashed on your bed after the day's job it is sleep paralysis.

When you get tapped on the back, you turn back and you see no one. It is sleep paralysis.

Those are not proves of spiritual anything. Sleep walking is perfectly normal, tho it can be embarrassing. So you can slp at a place and find your self some where else and not know how. No big deal. Even if it is a big deal, it is not because some demons are involved. I am sure asthma most have been considered a spiritual attack in the past, cos the feeling can be very hopeless. Imagine choking and no one is holding your throat. You will definitely feel some demons were the cause. But if demons cause asthma attack, then the inhaler must be a spiritual device.
Thinking like yours can only drag humanity back to the stone age where we explain everything mysterious as spiritual.

Sleep paralysis my foot.
This is how people die in their sleep and nobody could explain what happened except the dead who is already dead.
Scientist call it sleep paralysis, but what I experienced was not sleep paralysis.

This happened to me back in school. I had just visited my mum who was in the village mourning my dad to give her money for her upkeep.

My uncle started asking me personal questions acting all nice to me. Requested for my school address, I told him and then he said he always pass that route that he ll stop by whenever he's going thru d route.
I said no problem.

I left that same day back to school.
That night I prayed, kept my Bible just above my head close to my pillow b4 I slept.

Then next thing I cud remember was a man dragging my right hand and pulling me away from my body.

I was struggling with him but he seem very powerful and me, weak.
I look beside me, my friends were sleeping, I kudnt see d face of dis man, he was all dark, he wore a dark robe, d room itself was dark, but d moon light reflection frm d window was wat I was using. All dis happened very fast.

While he was pulling my right hand, I remembered my Bible, so I stretched my left hand, got hold of my Bible, then hit d man with d Bible, and immediately he left me, I returned back and woke up.

No matter what any scientist tell me today about that, I know what I experienced, and I know there's God and there's Satan.

Ur free to believe what u wish.

You are even lucky you could open your eyes and move your hands. Sleep paralysis could be worse than what you described above. It is so close to death, you are totally helpless.

TheFakeMuyis:
sleep paralysis wont stop you from breathing....

It does. You find it difficult to control your body including breathing in many cases. You may even have problem opening your eyes or mouth. You are awake and fully conscious of your environment and body but can't do anything. This cld lead to anxiety and feeling of being pressed down, you begin to think you won't ever survive it

An2elect2:
The reason you explain everything you dont understand away is because of fear. Be man enough to agree that there are realities you cannot grasp.

Quit telling yourselves lies.

You are now a mind reader to know him so well?
What realities? So your sleep paralysis is now evidence of another realm.
I experience sleep paralysis, I don't panic, I stay calm and allow my brain to be fully awake and regain control of my body. Funny thing is it does not happen to me any more, I NEVER prayed about it, cos I already knew what I was experiencing based on research. My pastor claims it's demonic attack, I always smile when he calls people under such attack to come out for deliverance. Here I am now, 5 yrs since the last "attack" and I never prayed about it

CoolUsername:
Most likely sleep paralysis.

Slp paralysis definitely.
I used to experience it a lot before. Usually if I don't sleep well enough. Nothing spiritual about it even though you may feel as if you are about to die, it's not a spiritual attack.

JackBizzle:
Great men at times make great mistakes, and this is one of those times. I can't believe the silliness that you are typing.


You see, verbal abuse is harmful whether you give a fvck or not. That is where you are quite mistaken. In civilized countries, verbal abuse will get you fired from your job if you are the abuser and the abused can sue for compensation. You are thinking like the average Nigerian who has been trained to take abuse.


-Some of those people in the video are rich people who are also employers. Imagine you working hard at your job and your boss insulting you for your atheism in front of employees every time he gets to see you. Even if you don't give a fvck, your work rate will suffer. The other employees will avoid you in order to avoid being on the bad side of the boss.

-Psychologically, children who are verbally abused become emotionally distant and tend to fail in areas where the abuse comes from. Go and read about the racism of low expectations and how black american kids are less likely to do well when their teachers tell them that they are going nowhere. This is still true for adults but on a lesser scale.

-Following from the earlier point, you not giving a fvck is a symptom of emotional distance. Hardness and coldness to the world.

-Just even look at Nigerian low level employees- a lot of them come to nairaland to abuse and swear for their bosses and their jobs. How many threads have we seen where a man/woman is complaining about the abuse that they are getting from their bosses and want to quit?

-Even in relationships and marriage- a nagging wife or husband kills the vibe. Some men rather stay at beer parlour for peace.




Atheists face the worst of verbal abuse- death threats, "burn in hell", accusations of treason ("you're not a true Nigerian/American) etc

============================================


In summary, you are only seeing the abuse from a myopic point of view. Sure, if some religious fool insults atheists on TV or on the road, it doesnt affect me directly.

However, this abuse also happens in family meetings, at school, at work, at gatherings, at parties and events. I'd like to see you not give a fvck if you get publicly embarrassed and shamed by a religious bigot at your place of work or school with other religious people nodding in agreement.

Applause*
Deep, so deep. I clearly understand you now. So unfortunate. Reason why atheists fight back with engaging theists on their ignorance and sometimes it is mistaken as obsession from the atheist

Txonyi:
think about this people
when we drank from the stream we had no cholera

There has always been cholera drinking polluted water is never safe.

houses built with clad dont burn instead they bake and become harder

Houses built with blocks don't burn too, it is the wood that burns. So the grasses used as roofing for mud houses don't burn? Or what are you saying?

when we cooked with firewood etal we lived healthier and longer

What is the relation between cooking with firewood and long life ?

now we drink eva bottled water et al yet see water disease everywhere

What water disease has eva water given anyone you know. Have you forgotten typhod cholera etc can be gotten from fruits, food and even putting your hand in your mouth? So how sure are you that it is the eva water that is causing the "diseases"?

we build houses with "better" materials that burn
we cook with gas et al yet food poisoning
seriously, hygiene is good we should be health conscious but, we should not buy every crap these white people tell us
next now, they will recommend a specie of catfish bred in europe and of course africans will start importing them
mad stupid whites

Tilapia fish that was recommended is indigenous to africa. You need to see the way tilapia is sort after in England.
Guy get your facts right and stop being sentimental.
