Nice Thread!

I recommend the title changed to "Abrahamic religion" though because there are many religions being practiced in Nigeria outside Allah/Yahweh

but that's not taking anything away from this beautifully crafted OP

thumbs up bro

DeRay98:
No need to harass or insult him. His words will be evidence against him when its his time account. Let him spill his bitterness and hatred against Christ its the spirit of the anti-Christ but his soul is still redeemable by the same Christ he loves to hate...

I am sure god has an account here on nairaland and is secretly storing my messages.

I hope he is using 100TB storage because more are loading

johnlegend01:
You are very daft.
How many times was MOHAMMED mentioned in the Quran and how many times was YISA mentioned in the same Quran 4 & 25 respectively, please confirm. You are the illitrate and ill-knowledged here.

You mean Mohammed the serial pedophile?

I advise you go learn your holy book well and have deep knowledge of what you believe in before defending it. You are even defending it, you are only being an idiot who wishes to start a religious heat up.

Keep the insults coming. Jesus will be proud of you

dijas:
how a tradition demand for the heads of people which will be used to bury a king eludes me

Localamos:
He might not... Remember Saul did worse. But when he had an encounter with Jesus Christ, his life became transformed.

Instead of cursing him, you rather pray.

Prayer is useless and a waste of time

oglalasioux:
You should be ashamed of this outburst. Which hell fire is he going to? Your hell fire or the Islamic, Hindu, Shinto...

Remember that because you don't believe in Mohammed you'll burn in hell for a thousand years. Then the moslem will burn in the hell of the Hindus for ten thousand years for not believing in their own god.

Hungerbad doesn't have shame na. He has made more useless comment here on nairaland.

But na my boss sha

ibnjarir93:
Disputing that Jesus christ( Isa A.S) existed is like disputing all histories. Disputing his Divinity is one thing; questioning his existence is another.
You are simply a history denier.

did Julius Caesar existed.?


or did d Roman empire existed.?

Answer my question first. Didn't your parents teach you that it is not right to reply a question with another question?

"Why do you keep disturbing us and our beliefs?"

That is what Christians and Muslims, Christians more though, always say whenever I challenge their "beliefs".

As an atheist, it might make perfect sense why religion is bad but also theists can also justify why they feel their religion is the best.

So, just have to this on record, I will go ahead to list exactly why I feel religion is bad for us as a nation and why it should be dumped in the trash can.

1) Religious people impose their beliefs on others: And they do that with threats . "Believe in my god or you will go to hell. Believe in my god so you can become successful." What exactly gives anyone the right to go around threatening people with eternal damnation and feel it is right really baffles me. Unfortunately, we will live in a country where people do exactly that. Imagine if your parents tell you, "respect me or I will burn you up", or if as a woman a guy approaches you and says, "baby, I like you and I will like to date you. If you don't I will kill you and burn you up".

This is a message of blackmail and not love. And these same people will cry "persecution" when you tell them to prove their claim

Christians happily "evangelize" to people in the hospital saying "accept Jesus Christ so you do not suffer for eternity in the afterlife" but I wonder how they would feel if I, as an atheist, was to go around telling Christians about to die in hospital beds that, "remember everything your pastor told you? It is all bullshit and they have been exploiting you all your life"

2) Religion divides us: It is not enough that, as Africans, we are divided into thousands of tribal groups and villages but we now have to add the religious divide to it. Christians have over 30,000 denominations and Muslims are also divided into Sunnis and Shiites. The recent killings of Muslims going on in the North is as a result of this division and is proof of what I mean.

As a nation, we will never be able to unite and stand as a voice or for any cause based on this reason. Whenever there is a political campaign, our politicians happily bring up religion to fool the people. The Christian/Muslim or Muslim/Christian proposal tag team is way more important to Nigerians than the credibility, integrity, the vision and potential of the candidates and merit is word that is alien to us.

Even when you want to get a job, your religious beliefs, in some cases, determines if you will get it or not. Are you Mulsim or Christian? What church do you attend? What parish do you attend? These questions are way more important than, "can you execute the job efficiently?" in some cases.

3) It appeals to our meanness and our selfishness: So, you happen to be in a bus with 24 passengers and you get in an accident and everyone else dies but you survive. After treatment, you head to church to give a "testimony" on how your god protected you and everyone sings "praise the lord". No one cares about the people that have died. Some people will even brag that "my god is a living god". So, even despite the fact that god allegedly created all of us, we are happy that it seems to favor some of us over other.

Lots of theists will happily tell you that as a non-believer you will go to hell and burn in eternity. The concept of hell is quite broad as not only will "unbelievers" go to hell but other people who do not believe in your particular version of god will also go to hell. In fact, over 80% of Christians and Muslims will go to hell because the guidelines to even qualify for heaven are not only ridiculous but also quite impossible to attain. Read your holy book properly to understand this.

The idea of an all-loving entity comfortable with burning humans for eternity is not bad enough, it is savage, cruel and condescending that, as humans, we love the idea and are actually looking forward to the day we will say "told you so!" and laugh while we watch billions of people burn in hell as we sing boring hymns for eternity.

4) Their claims are unverifiable and contradictory: Christians say that Jesus is the way while Muslims say Allah is the way. Aside from the fact that they cannot prove that either of these gods even exists, isn't it ridiculous that we have a Muslim president and a Christian vice president? Is no one concerned that one of them will burn in hell forever?

I am derailing.

None of the characters in the bible existed outside of the bible. They are all fairytales. Jesus, Solomon, David, heaven, hell etc never existed and there are no tangible evidence for their existences.

Islam is not better. So, god appeared to Mohammed the illiterate war lord and serial pedophile and decided to place all of humanity's faith on the message delivered in Arabic. And the angel Gabriel also speaks Arabic is utter bs. None of these things are verifiable.

We are all required to "believe". Seriously, if someone told you to believe that there is a house somewhere and asks you to pay for it without seeing it and just believe you now have a house, won't you punch the person in the face for taking you for a mugu? But for our religious folks, the promise of an afterlife that has never been proven to exist is a cool ideology to believe in.

As regards contradictions, I will leave you to read your holy book for once to figure that out for yourself.

5) It makes us unpatriotic: Christians happily declare themselves to be children of Israel and Muslims will claim that Mecca is the holy land. Apparently, none of these people feel that Nigeria is even worth it and still complain when the immigration in other countries disrespect us when they see our passports. How will people respect us when we do not respect ourselves?

How can we put in the effort to make Nigeria a better place when we are taught that "all is vanity" and that we will "inherit the kingdom of god or allah" after we die ?

Theists will happily tell you that Africa is cursed forgetting that the Europe and America we hold in high esteem also went through economic recession, experienced times of barbarism and extreme ignorance. The kind that we face now! No where in the history of developed nations did we read that there was a mass exodus of their citizens to go "abroad" in search of "greener pastures" (some people even give testimonies after getting visas) as we seem to have a high tendency of doing. Nigerians always come out the best in whatever field we find ourselves in abroad. We lead in academics, business, professional niches and even crime but we cannot seem to replicate the same thing here on our own soil.

Our leaders, mostly Christians or Muslims, will rather steal and loot our resources and go abroad to buy houses and stuff the funds in foreign accounts. Our "celebrities" feel they have achieved the pinnacle of success when they celebrate weddings, birthdays or even go shopping abroad. You will see them smiling like they have gotten to heaven when they get to Dubai. But these same people will come back home and throw away empty nylons out of their car windows

6) It kills our will to become better as a nation: "Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the kingdom of god". The same kingdom that has not been proven to exist. "All is vanity upon vanity". "Blessed is the man who has not seen(verified) but believes".

These lines are hammered in churches and mosques around the nation and the butterfly effect is that we have become a country whose populace depend on wishful thinking, "god will do it" "only god can save us" "god will punish our leaders", and are psychologically unmotivated to be the change we seek. We are still incapable of providing ourselves with basic infrastructure for ourselves. Our Muslim president travels to Germany(an atheist country) to treat ear infections while leaving our country's health care system in shambles.

We have one of the highest birth mortality rates in the world and are also one of the worst countries when it comes to waste management among other things.

And we still have a church on every street and shout "god dey" at every opportunity.

7) It is a form of exploitation: Theists are encouraged to not only attend their house of worships regularly but these people who earn less than N18,000 minimum wage are asked to pay 10% of this and pay offerings and make donations for the "work of the Lord" or "for Allah's intervention" and in most cases, these people face the same problems, fears and disappointments like every other human who does not believe in their version of god. A lot of Christians cannot eat three square meals but will donate to their pastor with the little they have.

Imagine you donate N100 every Sunday and there are N1,000 members in your church. That is N100,000 every Sunday. Now, multiply that by all the branches of your church nationwide and you can easily understand why your pastor/imam wears so much shiny suits or drives the best cars or lives in a big mansion or flies private jets and maybe, just maybe, understand why you still live in that face me I face you apartment in the ghetto where you have to queue to take your bath before going for service or to pray at the mosque. It is a pure scam. How can an invincible, lol, god have need for millions of naira. A god that created the universe cannot build a house to ease it's ego itself? Does this even make sense?

Many Christians donate millions that have been used to build schools they will never be able to afford to send their kids to. Seriously?

From the few points I have listed, I know I didn't do much justice to them, it is safe to come to the conclusion that religion is of no particular benefit to us as a nation.

Note: This does not in any way mean that religion is totally bad. Religion has helped many people become upright and become better people in the society. Many people have been able to achieve their dreams through religion and many great achievements in the world were made by very religious people. Personally, I have many role models who are religious and I look up to them for inspiration, knowledge and wisdom.

However, the points I have raised cannot be ignored completely.

Feel free to challenge or add to the points raised. Please do so with maturity and be polite or else all the 4,200 gods will punish you and you generation

Woman Leaves Husband Because of His Video Game Addiction.


When most people think of addiction, they often associate alcohol, painkillers, cigarettes and gambling with it.

In recent times, video game addiction has become a serious problem for many people, especially for younger men. In fact, many marriages and relationships falter because of it.

A London woman said that her husband played computer games such as World of WarCraft, over eight hours a day. She constantly called him out on it, and eventually it came to a point where she just couldn’t take it anymore. This kicks off at number twelve because video game addiction is relatively common, and it has hindered many marriages.

All these "boys" wey no wan grow

Something that doesn't exist cannot be illiterate na. You have to prove it exists first and then we will go from there

gabng:
No, You village babalawo/Dibia/shaman will intervene for those in captivity.

The purpose of my ascertions is simple. The Nigerian state failed to protect its citizens & as a result same citizens got abducted.

Well, the FG is useless. I cannot argue with that

Sorry about that.

Take heart

gabng:
Did you read anywhere I mentioned '21' Chibok Girls?

Say Amen or Forever hold your peace. Or intellectually prove my assertion's wrong.

So you mean to say god has intervened for the girls in captivity?

delishpot:
Anybody can ask for anything from anybody. She asked. The fact that a girl asks a guy for something doesn't mean she must spread her legs for him. And if the reverse is the case, It doesnt mean the guy must date her.
If you can not give, tell her so. If you feel like you are being used, do not give her. No one is forcing you to give when a girl asks you. This is why our society is so bad. A man expects sex for helping a woman. Our women now expect to give sex in exchange for favours. Wrong mindset wrong mentality.

Just as women now expect men to spend on her while she goes around telling her friends what a mugu he is. Invite her for lunch and she comes with her whole village.

Since she has nothing important to offer im exchange for food, she might as well make a peace sign
