AngelsAndStars:
thank you very much. people think its stupid when I hold this opinion and still pray.

during that period I really did lots of brain storming and I reached a point of "Madness" then I slowed down. now I don't shove opinion on theists and atheists but I like to call off their ignorance.

The path to Self-hood is all about you and how you can harness your hidden potentials. Ignore people's opinions,they don't count. They don't even exist.

AngelsAndStars:
I understand both point of view and they get it wrongly. they forget to look deeper and see the drive from a psychological point of view.

they are both hypocrites, and too stupid to see who we really are. the creator cannot be so petty the way religious people describe the concept. each group golds a great deal if stupidity as the truth.

the creator plats along. Lolz.

For religion,they are misunderstanding the psychological meaning of their holy book. "I AM THE WAY".....I wish people can study that phrase deeply and they will understand what religious was meant to be about.

As for Atheists,they are too in touch with the physical/material which is only a product of psychology. The only good thing about this mindset is that it negates the idea of a separate God the Christians/Muslims and other worship.

People need to make an efford to re-educate themselves. No one can do it for them except themselves.

Queenbeee:
The bible does not talk about courtship, so I believe it's more of a personal belief. My question is, why do churches make the whole courtship stuff compulsory?

Religion itself is a creation of a society to reform or contain their society. The only way they could make it accepted by their people is to add God. The addition of an all invincible man who watches you all the time even when you are alone makes people reluctantly do bad deeds.

And as you can see Courtship is another invention that is meant to let the couple get used to each other to avoid family breakdown. It was a good invention of humans but years and years down the line the flaws gets exposed.

The church is an institution of indoctrination. It's job is to impose the ideas given to it and not to check if they made sense or not. The Church is gonna make Courtship compulsory because that is what it has been programmed to....even when it has stopped working and outdated.

AngelsAndStars:
When i finally decided to not believe in God i felt empty. i began to ask many more questions.

Ok what am i doing here?
Oh, am just going to come, suffer and die? what for?
where the hell did we all pop out from?
Out of nothing?
Just like that?
Could i be more intelligent than all philosopher and people of old?
if Albert the great scientists could believe in God(not religion) as knowledgeable as he is. could he be wrong?


i had many questions.

then the most important one

whats the need of life?

this period gave me enlightenment, my IQ increased beyond my imagination and i felt like God,
during his period i studied my character, thinking pattern.
i practically perceived my self as dangerous, i had no inner conscience again. i saw life like in the jungle. kill or be killed. even my philosopher friend became "enemy within"
my instinct change and i thought like a wild animal. at a time i was even afraid of myself. i looked at my fellow human as just a pile of flesh nothing else.
i was fighting within me a war of "who am i" and "what tha fvck am i doing here"
i saw no need in the nysc scheme anymore, i became "too smart" i almost ran mad.

i read a lot of articles on God, religion, atheism and different fairytale of different cultures


But one day

i asked myself, do i really need to live like this?
generations have come and gone, same question, same problem.
why dont goats worry? or the dogs? why only man?

i cant possible be wiser than every other person. i came up with a quote...

"It is foolish to believe there's a god but it is more foolish to believe there's no god"

I decided to skip so many questions and moments just so i wont bore you from reading a very long epistle but during this period of IQ boom i realized something about humans.

Last post coming..

You did not become an Atheist,instead you sort for answers you couldn't find in religion. You were after your missing piece,the missing piece of the puzzle that bothers the religious folks,even Atheists......The question; WHO AM I?

But being religious and Atheist are two sides of a coin. Both are coming from a wrong angle,hence the dilemma they find themselves. "WHO AM I" is the question both failed to answer. I call it the fight between the Left and Right parts of the brain. A full understanding of both will lead you to a good answer.

Acidosis:
There is a huge difference between Witchcraft and Psychosis madam.



You need to read more on Psychosis, Schizophrenia, Personality disorders, Depression... These stuffs vary from Witchcraft.


If you have ever seen psychotic patients, you should know the likely consequences of labelling them "WITCHES". You'd almost get your face burnt. Unless your pastor is dum.b, he should know the differences between a schizo and a very normal human being whose only problem is flying ONLY in the dream and holding meetings underworld (witchcraft manipulations).


Meanwhile, your post lack scientific references, it sounds so incoherent and clumsy. How could you call insomnia witchcraft? You've largely described hallucination, and that again isn't witchcraft.

Please check the internet, read, read, and read wide, you will be amazed to know that the WHITES (who gave you education and everything you are/know today) believe and practice witchcraft! Go and read your books, I can assure you that a larger percentage of your Doctors in the human behavioural sciences believe in Witchcraft.

Thank you for this post. It is obvious a lot of people misunderstand what witchcraft is. I chose not say much on it because majority of the people here both so called Athiest and religious folk are incredibly ignorant.

Irritating and negative country

rhektor:
It's OK, doctored mind

It's normal when you are in the land of the blind. The reason why some people only understand parables. They still don't understand the parables. Instead people like you worship the messanger and totally ignore the message.

Indoctrinated mind.

rhektor:
You would have ignored me in the first place but now you can't just wield the big stick and think you'll go free

That is me being polite. I wouldn't engage a narrow mind in certain discussions .It will be arrogant of me to say you don't sound intelligent enough. An early indoctrinated mind at best.

KingEbukasBlog:
Can you provide a link where I can really understand your position . It seems nebulous

Depending on the level of education and self education, these stuff should come naturally. Not through links brother. Those are other people's work.

rhektor:
If what you call bright minds are those who accept whatever you say without raising opinions hence you should stick to those set of dumies, I forgot one will never be a part of it

You quoted me, I didn't quote you, I never engaged you in any discussion have I ? You need to ignore me..... I don't think that should be hard for you

rhektor:
So what you mean is that your reflection in the mirror is yourself? No problem you are this technically daft to assume that you are not different from what is in the mirror? Continue.

Ignore my comments if you have nothing to say. I need bright minds to talk to.

ever811:
cahii....drink a cup of water rest for 5 minutes then read this you comments again.

I think you should save it and show your pastor since your brain is with him.

rhektor:
.


You are very wrong here, the man in the mirror is just a mere shadow of the man standing before the mirror.
The real man standing before the mirror can and will influence the man in the mirror whatever he does is what the man in the mirror will do. Do you get that?
Next time use some reasonable analogy

You mean you see your shadow in the mirror when you look at it? Don't quote me if cannot read what I said properly before misquoting me.

The man in the mirror is the reflection of the man looking into the mirror. That is exactly what I said. Move away!

@ ifenes

Something like this

The blue whatever shows how everything is of It including the universe and It is the One who is eternal

The ball in the hand of the girl is a reflection of her mind. This brings us back to the Prime Radiant. The One is the All and the All are the One. The world is a reflection of the God mind. If the world is evil,God mind is Evil.

If we go by what you said about God being a different entity who created a bad world,you have just described a bad God/Human. But that is far from it. God is within you,your Mind. Creation is continuous and spontaneous. The Mind is forever functioning through imaginations, painting,song writing, building will continue to exist.

I doubt you will be able to link the christian god with anything good.

The Human God/Human Being can only be his own God.

KingEbukasBlog:
God's divine presence encompasses everything that exists . https://www.nairaland.com/2973792/atheism-dead-logic-god-everything

So there's a separate conscious entity with his its essence permeating through the universe . I don't know how to describe it , I hope you understand .

The man in the mirror is not different from the man looking into the mirror. God cannot be different to the reflections. If Human's are it's reflection,humans are God looking at itself in a hall of mirror,having infinite reflections.

As for reincarnation,which is an illusion of Time. Time doesn't exist,which means everything is happening simultaneously,according to Einstein. But reincarnation is just like Motion and Time, they are not real but makes you experience different Nows in different time. This is advance metaphysics.

Everyone is I and you know you are You. If you die now,other people are born and they are all You. Cycle of life which never ends.

KingEbukasBlog:
Ifenes , this guy says atheists do not believe in reincarnation . Atheism is simply the belief there is no god . You can hold whatever beliefs you want . Confucianism is a religion without deists and they venerate ancestral spirits . Confucians can be Atheists




"There is no God" is a declaration showing omniscience . Have you embarked on a peregrination to all possible dimensions , outside the universe to ascertain there is no God ? The answer is no . So its a belief .



Atheism is not a natural state . If it were everyone would quickly dump religion instead atheism has the lowest retention rate in the world . The deists acknowledge the existence of God through Reason , Nature and Science .

There is God without Religion , and There is Religion without God .

He is rejecting the bible god which I completely agree with. However, God,if I will use a religious term is a state a highly enhanced and upgraded human will reach if all potentials are used. God is an advanced term for a state of disciplined and well developed mind.

KingEbukasBlog:
Humans are entities because they can function independently . I have my body and so do you !

God an entity,Humans are entities who function independently,according to you. So what makes God special if it shares the same attributes with Humans? A Being has no beginning or an end. It's function is to be in a continuous state. What brought about a different entity?

KingEbukasBlog:
I hope this is not going where I think is going . You are trying to view God as some kind of formless force who exists outside space and time .

Being is used to address entities or could mean existence .

What are you scared of?

If Being means Entities or Existence, what would you call a Human-Being? Mind you,you have already said God is an entity.

KingEbukasBlog:
Since the universe has a beginning and a cause it must have a creator . And this creator is eternal or else it would progress into infinite regression which is very illogical .

What is the meaning of "Being"?

KingEbukasBlog:
It has always existed .

How did you know?

Your answer should be as fast as my question,except you are looking up the internet for answers.

KingEbukasBlog:
Because It is an entity

An Entity? How did it come about?

KingEbukasBlog:
A transcendent separate conscious being who created the universe .

Why is it separate?

ever811:
I have come across this comment made by African atheist several times..../ the white man sold lies to you by giving you religion which claim there is a creator (God) of all things and you accepted it. they even accused the believers for not having sense of reasoning. but this same white man brought education to them which also claim there is no creator (God) they accept it and claim they have brain. and i Wonder where there brain is located.if the white man has given you reasons trough scientific findings that there is no God..which by instincts, your ancestors never accepted. and the same white man gave me the bible to understand better what my ancestors already knew by instincts there are gods which of this two shows the presence of sense of reasoning? our ancestors already knew there is the supernatural even before the coming of the white mans religion..they never accepted to be dependent on there brains,but instincts showed them the presence of the supernatural.that is why they had different traditional gods.everything an atheist claim to know about the non existance of God comes from the same white man he accuses the African religious man of learning from. religious text's were written thousands of years before the first foolish man who will letter spread atheist ignorance came to exist. the bible has its first verse ..Gen 1:1..in the begin God created the heaven and the earth.. note:-(God is the course) because he is an external force as it is..but no atheist texts has ever started with the beginning of creations.. they must prove its non inspirational.. by talking a lot of nonsense b/4 they jump to the middle were matter and energy created all things. the same set of creatures would agreed to the law of course and effect but there brains will reformat within a second and they will come up with another theory that matter and energy defile the law of course and effect.I still ask there brain location.. ..hypocrisy... hypocrisy.. and need of brain cleanser..

But you are still a christian who believes that the white man's god died for you. Are you not a hypocrite as well? You are quoting from Genesis,the same book that encouraged the enslavement of your ancestors. Kettle calling the pot black!

KingEbukasBlog:
Atheism has never been a natural state in humans - this explains its extreme low retention rate . God created man with the propensity to seek knowledge of Him .

Can you define God please?

JuicyLucy:
ifenes hi... I'd really like to converse with you offline. If it's ok with you please could I send you a Pm? Or I could give you my email.

I'm really absurd by your threads and you reasoning as far as religion and faith, I'd like you to guide me to reading materials ect. Sorry to intrude.

Yes sure that's fine. I use whatsapp mostly if that's okay. I hardly check emails.

JuicyLucy:
Wow. I found my home on this thread. I wish people wouldn't just argue for the sake of arguing though.
If you talk more than you hear then you will find yourself talking to yourself. We have 2 ears and 1 mouth so those religion nuts should do maths first.

@ifenes and plaetton thank you for sharing your knowledge. Please continue. I wish I had questions to ask but all this makes perfect sense to me.

Thank you!

You are on the right path. First thing you have done right is to get out of that prison- religion and start the process to awaking your Genius. It is okay to be an Atheist but do know you have only opened a door. Do not stand at the door because if you did you will be a stagnant Athiest. You need to find out more about the Mental Universe and how it can work for you.

KingEbukaNaija:
ifenes , how about I open a thread and we discuss The Prime Radiant Theory ? Should I ?

Go ahead
