What rubbish! Was it not the same Africans who walked around with loincloths long before the "massas" ever set foot here? Don't know about other parts of Africa, but in most Southern regions of Africa, nudity is considered the most natural & uncorrupted state of every human. Dare I say, "traditional". We are all born nekkid after all. And so was that guy & chic in Eden.

It's sometimes even used to rebel against western culture. Sorry but I don't see the correlation here. Those people were probably skimpily clad because this IS Africa 1)it's damn hot & 2) it just was what it was way back then.

UyiIredia:
Yeah. Most theists but not all theists. I'm sorry for the wrongs done to you and I can't say it will bve better but you should stay strong. If atheists on Nairaland changed your mind by taking advantage of your doubts perhaps I may show you another way. First you'll have to come clean about your doubts and ask whatever questions are most important to you.

hahn:
Good luck witht that

hahn:
Not at all. I also have interest in zobo drink manufacturing and I thought it might give you ideas. I got the pics on the internet

hahn:
Don't mention. Did you check out the pics I attached?

hahn:
Well, the sooner the better.

hahn:
What happened to this idea?

UyiIredia:
Interesting. I will catch up with u later.

why do you make a decision (if God exist or not) via a faceless forum? Do you know the people you are reading there post? If you want to be convinced, God does not exist, you have to do the research yourself.

I tell you the truth my sister, God is there, God exist, believe me, do not allowed the devil to manipulate you. Trust me when I say God exist. Come back home, come back to Christianity. Bible say remember your creator when you are young, or is it when you grow old and life is not pleasurable anymore that you will remember God? Thank you

Antiparticle:
Ok. Thanks so much for responding.
I, too, go to church sometimes (with friends for the social factor) but I only listen to messages I agree with, otherwise I just browse my phone or think about other things the whole time.

But when I don't go to church, I am totally unapologetic about it. However I have to avoid the issue with parents or family (thankfully I live far away) because it could cause a mini-civil war! I wonder how long this can stay concealed.

Also, I am curious to hear your story of how you arrived at disbelief. Here's mine. There's a much shorter personal analysis here.

Btw, I like your locks.

malvisguy212:
were did you become an atheist ? Nairaland or were ?

I know sane dogs hardly attack children, i didnt say fhe dog was attacking them i meant it was playing with them especially running after the ones that are too scared to come close lol

There is something I have noticed and I don't know if others noticed it in their dogs too. Dogs love eyes service , they will do anything just to please you.
I noticed of recent that my dog doesn't finish or sometimes doesn't eat her food except I stand there to watch her.
Yesterday I woke up pretty late, quickly prepared it food and didn't even have the time for our early morning play. So I just gave her the food and off I went, guess what? by the time I came back hours later , I met the food the way I gave her, at first I thought something was wrong with her , I took the food , looked at it , gave it back to her and in my presence , this dog ate it all, I was like han han but this thing was in your front all day now,
Again if I let t it play around in the compound while I stay outside she doesn't get destructive infact she acts innocent but immediately I leave her alone , she scatters anything scatterable once I come out she runs to me and act all innocent again. And she has this funny look whenever I call her eye service
Also she acts like she plays with other kids when I'm around but if I leave her alone she runs after then knowing they will be scared but for her she is catching her fun , once I come out again she is back to miss innocent ,

Dogs and eye service sha , you can't question their loyalty cos they just wanna please you

How would d ebony skinned lady feel, when guys are constantly getting attracted to d light skinned girls?

Antiparticle:
Wow. That's crazy. He is indeed similar to Boko Haram.

So, since you now avoid discussing your disbelief, how do you respond if/when people ask you why you don't/didn't go to church? (Assuming you stopped going to church.)

Assuming you still go to church (for understandable reasons), how do you respond when people ask you questions like: "what did you like about the pastor's preaching today?" Do you ever catch yourself almost instinctively answer such questions truthfully but then reroute your answer?

How do you hold yourself back (from rebutting) when people talk about church and God all the time?

Ma'am, with all due respect, please quit being a sentimental jerk. Be urself and stop trying to hide behind someone else's personalty.

If u say he was trying to pull a joke, I totally understand that, but trying to justify his motive is totally out of sense.

Please don't try to utter more, the more u try to defend urself, the more blasphemy u speak...

I'm not the religious type, my hands are so filled with sins to be one. As a matter of factly, I can't remember the last time I attended church, but I'm too wise to utter such blasphemy against the Holy one.

If the two holy books acknowledge HIS power and glory, who then are we to speak sh1t?

arcbay:
But seriously, did u just type that? I weep for u!!!

bstringz:
I Don't think it's our place to be objective with what someone just shared with an honest open mind. This is how we discourage people from sharing things like this.
I think if she was hungry she would have said it in her post. Just because you haven't had that kinda experience doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

And even if one don't believe in it... Then I think it's best the person just ignores the post than to post something so derogatory as that.. If that was suppose to be humorous then am sorry it's a failed attempt at humour. Let's be reasonable for once. Now with that kinda "objectivity" do you guys think she would share stuff like dis again.
Plus this is the religion part of this forum right?? Then she has every right to post her "spiritual" experience here without unnecessary subjection to objective thinking. Thank you.
