thanks so much.

Anas09:
And if they allow you kiss and have sex with them afterwards, you shd know they are just Christians by name.

I keep saying this, "Sitting in Church doesn't make One a Christian, more than sitting in a garage makes One a Car.
Sooooo many don't even know what it means to be a Christian, so i won't be surprised if the so called Christians are reigning 'I love yous' on you.

I have turn down many a guy who while claiming to be Christians came to me with pretentious marriage proposals, then tried to kiss and handle. I just know, they are occupiers, they are not seekers. I dont have time for time corrupters.

If i can turn down a supposed brother, what will an athiest possibly tell me to even make me stand a minute longer listening to him?

We know Christians in the face of heat. When persecution comes, the ones who remain standing, are the Christians.

OK

but you should try to understand my angle of reasoning. I was against the opinion of why most people will think agnostic and atheist are unlucky as regards finding a date/relationship/mate.

you would surprise of how many ladies here on this forum would wish to hangout with outstanding atheist/agonist as oppose to the religious ones that comment on this forum.

plaetton:
Op Fail.

On the contrary.

Atheists enjoy a much better batting average with smart women than their religious counterparts.

Women tend to find atheists intriguing, smart, reality oriented and less pretentious.

Once you tell a woman that you're an atheist, it peaks her interest, her curiosity. You immediately stand out from the crowd.

Women married to atheists tend to be happier, because of the absence of that extra luggage.

let me elucidate on this

once I meet a gorgeous lady I adore and wish intelligence strikes me, and we happen to discuss around faith and religion, I am quick to tell about my agnostic stand.

fine, the evil spirit looking with are u mad type of look, overwhelms her, in fact she get so disgusted.

but u would be surprise how easy it is to get into the very heart and core of these ladies that they get so vulnerable with your flirtations especially the religionist.

u would be so surprise how many 'I love you' have received on just first encounter or romance.

what strikes them about us really, thought I was the only one

Very very romantically romantic i doff my hat for you

am I misguided, how is it romantic?

bigtt76:
Next time, massage your left side of your tummy down close to your waist. You should feel the accumulated poo in your large intestine. Keep massaging and poo will come. Try not to force it out though. Ensure you drink plenty water while chewing on food.

sounds logical. the descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum are all left part of the bowels.

thanks.

my plan was to visit the local market and have a good shopping, stock on my food items and ingredients.

then I saw this meat seller displaying biscuits bones and yellow bone marrows on his table. quite a cheap amount for a good source of calcium, and a something-someting to keep on chewing on while watching movie.

fast forward to my resident, made a good stew out of it. I chewed, crushed and swallowed every but of it. in fact, I should be getting more of this biscuit bone, I remarked.

was customary for me to visit the toilet every morning, this ensures my day-day activities will go smoothly without the thought of bowel movement. but this particular one was different. the thing refused to come out, I pushed and pushed hard that I fear my Amy's tearing.

The urge was there, but noting came out. was so hard, firm, and unyielding. I decided to drink some water and have a shower, at least so some water can drip down to aid lubrication. I screamed and screamed, couldn't push any more and I couldn't stop, it was pain all the way.

didn't know what else to do, was as if a hard mountain was trying to pass through. didn't know when I stuck my fingers to help break the hard faces in bits, this I did repeatedly for each turn of drinking water and shower. I kept on pushing hard and tears wear rolling down.

wit the 8glasses of water, showering Twelve times and finger breaking technique, I made through.

was a gory one.

lesson learnt, never eat so much biscuit bones

1). what stops u from being that man?

2). What says ur pastor or father or even her uncle can't be that man?

U're juz looking for trouble where it doesn't exist...Coz u seem to av a strange definition of who dat man must be

you havent said anything.

most times a girl with a level of conscience will ask from her guy about the advancement from this man that shows concern about her financial needs.

the point what will be your response, what will u tell her.

(this is strictly for atheist, agnostics, pantheist and other free thinkers )

my reason for stereotyping the class of people I indeed needed to answer this question is due to their acclaimed unbiased way of thinking and rationality.

a friend asked, 'Ken ,what will u do if ur girl has a family financial problem and there comes a man who really cares and want to help her with her finances?'

what will u say?

Basalt:
Bros I experienced it at crusade 2days ago.

The man of God pointed at me, mentioned my name and surname and called me out to the alter and started telling me everything about me.

I am still recovering from the shock because everything he said is true.

He even told me that I masturbated before coming to crusade which was so true.

Havnt you considered the followings;

The chibok girls are yet to be found

It took america through search, not excluding satellite/drone involvement, intelligence nd spies to detect where osmama was hiding.

The missing plane saga!

If only one of these prophets can give a trail as regard the above, nigeria will be devoid of atheist.

Well, I only hear claims of that, personally, the ones have experienced only make random guesses which are most times ambiguous.

As regards that, I stumbled upon a particular sect of religionist(the grail messengers). They believes actions/deeds we do in the past take form and then clinch on our body. For those having the gift to unmask this forms decode and then mistify it.

Nigga, u got it all wrong.

I am a proud agnostic, but I can say with all sincerity that, 'u got it all twisted.'

Let me share my own experience.
I traveled a time ago to write an entrance exam into an higher institution, in this south western part of nigeria called, Osun state.

upon my arrival, my plan was to sleep in a garage until the morning for my exam. But I noticed quite a number of my age bracket were also moving around in search of where to slEep.

ASAP! I joined these fellas in search of shelter. WHat saved us that day was a brother(also an applicant) who took us to a catholic church and identified himself as a member.

We(both catholics and non catholics) were ushered in and given the best hospitality I could ever imagine, from night shower - dinner - good sofa..., to hot yam and egg as our breakfast. We prayed, sang, read bible passages and were motivated as regards our exams. For once in my crude life, I had faith, hope and trust in humanity.

Oh yes! Some priest/pastors/imams can be wolves in sheep clothing, still, the occurrence of unjust act(s) should not justify absolute demeaning of person(s

Brigance:
Does this hold sway for "mechanic tries, but God repairs"?

Lol

U are a mother fucking comedian...I so much love that quote. Being laughing since

HardMirror:
Are you through displaying your stupidiity?

No LeT's GET DOWN TO BUSINESS!

This was on front page today. A BOY BORN WITHOUT ANUS! www.nairaland.com/3091779/baby-born-without-anus-jos

Open the thread and see the stuppid prayers christians are praying there. Even saying God has a purpose for the child not having an anus.


Please kindly explain to us. If God exists why should he allow a child to be born without anus?
1. Are we supposed to pray for the boy?

2. Are we supposed to take the boy for surgery?

The correct answer is obvious.

So if God exists why create a boy without anus ony for doctors to be the ones putting effort to fix the boy.

Note this is a very simple surgery for doctors to perform, yet TOTALLY IMPOSSiBLE FOR PRAYER TO FIX.

How long shall we lie to our selves?

Now can you shut the fvck up!!! This thread is not for stupiid people!

At this point it only makes sense to open a church and take advantage of you fooools.

I am so pissed of right now with your level of stvpidity.

My brother!

I'll advice you take it cool with the religionist here.

People can be so absurd in course of defending a god, when they false fully believe an eternal reward await them.

It aint easy to be free, thus I advice u get calm with their mudane remarks

dablazor:
HardMirror, this is a really nice thread, you should know I read from Part 1 without skipping a single page, read most as guest, I was forced to recall my Nairaland password as I had forgot it.
I have to admit, your story is a little similar to mine, though on a rather smaller scale, I wasn't into the evangelism brouhaha but I have read the bible over 30 times growing up back to back (although wasn't a good read because of some absurdity, most parts I try not to understand, because questions would keep pouring in)
I was born into a Christian family, brought up a Christian, from catholic to deeper life, to winners, redeem, seventh day adventist, and back to redeem I think the only denomination I never attended was a white garment church.
Growing up as a Christian was challenging because I was a curious child who applies logic, I could recall even before I was thirteen the bible confuses me a lot because somethings don't just add up, but I was so scared to ask questions, I was too scared to think, and I have to admit, I felt trapped.
 I once went to my pastor when I was a teenager with some questions about Christ's sacrifice, which doesn't make sense to me, I ended up having the devil casted out of me, as my pastor could only justify my superior argument with my being possesed by the devil, I was given a special prayer session and I was convinced I was possessed too(funny). Ever since then, I never wanted to question God for I fear that's the devil tempting me, I used the 'get thee behind me satan' clause a lot back then growing up saying it silently to myself anytime these thoughts flood my mind, I felt it was the devil talking to me, I couldn't even question my belief because I always felt the devil is the only reason i'd question christianity, am sure a lot of Christians can relate to this fear if they are being honest. 
Am pretty sure if we were all brought up free of religion and was then introduced to Christianity after puberty, Christianity would be extinct.
Altogether I dropped religion last year towards the end of my masters before my PhD and I wished i'd done earlier, I felt so free, I could think about anything and ask questions, I felt like I have being caged for twenty-five years, I never took cocaine before but I can tell the euphoric sensation is quite similar to that of coke fiends.
Am sure a lot of Christians are familiar with John 8:32 "For ye shall know the truth and the truth would set you free" indeed the bible got this right, and I keep thinking it's an hidden message in that book.

Lol anyway, funny thing is I still gotto church, and yeah my 'Pastor' is a good speaker, he is a good motivational speaker, the church to me since I lost my faith has being a weekly societal gathering where you come, dance, meet various busy-working friends, take pictures and all. Yes I do pay offerings as well, because I know it ain't no kid thing for a motivational speaker to stand on a podium for an hour tops, he needs to be paid. And good thing is my pastor barely quotes the bible, his teachings are based on morals.
The whole world needs to wake up, its not bad if we have a morality class every weekend, but let's not just cloud it with some sacrosanct spiel of a Jesus/God, it's stupid. The gathering is a good idea, but the god factor is wrong.
It's not fair having believers praying and fasting day in day out hoping to get answers to their pleas while abandoning hard work and placing all their bets on a god, let people know both good and bad experiences they have aren't predestined by a god, or that the affairs of this world are being controlled by a spiritual being who they can call to and he'd intervene, you reap exactly what you sow, nothing is fixed, some are lucky some aren't, no sky daddy would help you out because as far as I am concerned, he only exists in the head of his believers and outright powerless in the real world!
Most people rely so much on a god that they don't work hard as much as they need to as they believe they had done their best(even when it's not enough) and having comfort in putting the rest it all in a supposed God's hand, and once things didn't go as they anticipated because they believed, they make excuses for their imaginary sky daddy, he ain't even have to beg for it. 

The Internet is killing religion, as people are beginning to see the truth, and meet others like them which they never thought existed because no one would come forward in a rather religion fanatic society.

I believe there is no god, hence agnostic-atheist, am not sure if he exists and I won't waste valuable time trying to be sure if there is a god or if there isn't but as far as I am concerned, if a god exists, he would rather have people know outright that he exists, because everyone is worshiping a god based on their societal leanings, which means most are christians because they are born in a Christian home, same with Muslims and others and they all claim to be linked to god, and if he won't clear our doubts, and show us the true way to him and he still exists despite his reluctance to clear these said doubts, then I believe he doesn't care about our affairs or our worship.
So i'd live my life free of worry and reliance, and take the Bulls by the horn, shikena.

am no more caged, and my life has being better, my studies has being swift, grades have being great, I take responsibility for everything that happens to me without wasting time on some god, my life has never being better, I feel in charge, and it feels like am truly in charge of my life. 
It's the best feeling ever!!!

I have learnt a lot from u bro.

I think I should start going to church now, sincerely I miss the speaking in tounges, praise, dance and motivational words from the pulpit guys.

I think I will have much fun, and hey! It aint bad to support the growth of the organization by dropping offerings.

This is the plan, different church for different sundays, this is gonna be fun.

Thanks bro!

@hardmirrow.

The more i read your story the more my faith grows stronger and stronger in the Lord.


Mmmmm, time will not permit me to say one or two things here.


How i wish i could be able to meet you one on one.

After taking my time to see where you got it wrong, i could not be able to arrived on anything except the issue of hellfire which you raised. And yet you miss the points entirely and that is pathetic.

But i bet you with my life, if you claim to be a preacher of the gospel and have done so many miracle, having won thousands of souls to God, but eventually fall away because of hellfire.

Sir you were a baby Christian. I repeat you were a baby Christian.

You're building your house on a sandy foundation, but a little bruise shake ur house (soul) you fell head over heel.

2 any Christian who stumbled out of faith because of these show of shame i saw here that individual is just a baby and foolish Christian like you. Pls Accept my apology.

Sir, when you're in the light, you introduce yourself to your listeners, everybody knows your name, but now that you're in darkness, (secret) you re hiding ur identity. Now can you see the difference between light and darkness Again you even appear here as hardmirow on your moniker.

Now i bet you again with my life that you're not a Christian from onset, this your name Hardmirrow, came out from the pit of hell. Initially i wanted to implore all believers to pray for you, but i have just realised through the spirit of God that, it is relevant and you re never a Christian in the first place.

So you're only here to discredit Jesus and his disciples.

But since people like me is on these forum, you have failed woefully.

I have a personal experience with Jesus. So no mortal being can deceived me.

1 God have showed me the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. How Jesus was crucified on the cross.
This is not a television or video.

2 in my revelation i have seen the gate of heaven. I was inside a car, were i was resting a lone as a security guard then, because of fear in the midnight. I Suddenly
slept off, i then notice that some group of people came to me unaware, and set the car on fire and i was inside the car, then my soul left my body and i found my self on a very big and wonderful city nothing to compare the beauty in this world, i was amazed and wandering as per where are mine, as i looked up in front of me i saw a very beautiful gate just like a palace gate and walls, then i noticed an inscription on the wall In two different places, behold the first one was Joseph and his wife Mary and the little boy Jesus in their middle, then the second one was Jesus with his twelve disciples and a table in their midst. I will not be able to say this is peter or John.
since i have never met them before. When i came back to myself behold it was a dream.

3 Jesus have appeared to me in the sky like a sun, his eyes were red as fire full of anger warning me to change from my ways and do what he has instructed me to do, or else he will destroy me. Though he never say a word but i read what he was saying with my mind. I understand him perfectly.

4 i have seen how he is going to destroy man kinds from the face of the earth in my revelations, my brothers and sisters it is very terrible, infact that revelation alone made me to repent in dust and ashes. This is what people popularly referred as the END of the WORLD.

@hardmirrow i initially wanted to put you in my prayers for God to arrest you back until i finds out that you just made up these stories to deceive the baby Christians and satisfied the work of your father the Devil, but thank God you have been exposed.

Incase you don.t know, i have given out my names and my phone numbers on these forum in so many thread here on nairaland. Am bro George Nwaneri. Though i was formally ordained in the office of an avangelist.
But i preferred people to calling me brother. I don.t need any title.
You can never cover up light. I don.t need to hide my identity since i have nothing to hide. And am not in any dubious activities.

My work is full of light, and there is no atom of darkness in it.

Anyone who is still doubting Christianity have never encountered Christ.


But if there is any way you were once a Christian, which i doubted, mmmmm, our Lord Jesus Christ is a master planner.

Finally once again your post has made me to reaffirmed myself in the Lord.
Thank you.

Nigga!

U no try well, at all

U gave us a vivid picture of what should scare good seeking Christians from knowing that type of God, u laid emphasis on destruction, anger and fire.

If such God exist, I wonder how he seek so much delight on threat, threatening low life mortals with raging fire, I fear oooo.

My brother, what u dreamt of was just ur mind creating an oasis for u. U were working as a security man at night, and got scared, am sure when u woke up u got better and energized...that's the beauty about religion, HOPE! It gives it in time of distress.

Hardmirror!

This epistle will be the final straw that 'll brake the camels back, lots of religionist who have been nursing doubt will make a complete u turn upon going through ur write-up, its either they become an agnostic or an atheist.

Sometimes I hope there is a God that cares and loves humans unconditionally.

For those having doubt and scared of their lack/shaky faith, I should tell u, "it aint easy." It aint easy to become an atheist/agnostic, it aint easy trying to clean up indoctrination, it aint easy questioning established concept/ideas,... It aint easy

But I tell u, after passing through this circles of disbelieve to self actualization, it would have been worth it.

Look around u, we are all alone.

Brother!

I was once in your shoes, being shy, introverted, insecure, inferiority complex... In short when I speak or make contributions among guys they laugh or signal them self in light of 'here comes another stupid remark'.

I discovered that what makes a man speak aloud is being independent(not necessarily rich) and being able to have ladies come over.

Of what use is a big boy or extroverted if u aint independent in a way and have array of girls coming and leaving ur room.

So this was the plan, I worked out(gim) as a form of counter mechanism of being inferior, I try to get materials as regards opposite sex and how they tick...

Fast track to this present time...u need to believe I spent quality time with three ladies at different times yesterday... And of course another is coming to spend the night evening today with me.

In short my so called bigboys/extroverted friends get so bewildered at my level of success with girls.

Its so amazing how transformation can be.

Remember life is so short, and pls masturbate when u need to...virtually everyone does

KashyBaby:
Don't be envy with others whose married now and have kids coz u never know what's going on with them behind closed doors...

Juz keep sailing and keep wandering..

That's is what we say to console our shortcomings.

Kashy, u don't get my drift! Sometimes we act like all the good things would just wait and tarry for us to come around.

It indeed was a great loss for me anyway

Last night was one of the longest one have ever had, I reminiscenced about the time and moments with this wonderful lady. She is an epitome of any good quality u would expect a lady to possess.

The pursuit of personal goals(finance, academics, skills) can make we men loose out from wonderful ladies as regards settling down.

Only for me to check my facebook page and saw a lady I never took serious now married...

The marriage ceremony was out of this world, so executive and all...and the guy? So good looking.

...And me still pursuing a the stupid goal that is vague

LoJ:
You can tell your friend, that he should strive to live the rest of his life in a way that will honor the person's memory. You can also tell him, that as long as the person lives in his heart and memory, then somehow through him the person is still alive and on his side.

Finally, I would remark that someone can be an atheist, but still believe in a form of life after death - like many Buddhist and others do. So your question is not well formulated.

Greetings.

Thanks for reformulating

Its very easy to recite promises from the holybooks about afterlife, paradise, everlasting peace, reunion...

But from an atheist stand point, what is the way to make a a friend who just lost a loved one feel better?

I most times get hooked on this spot, pls help a brother out.

I was in hostel discussing about u to my roomies (all medical students)

The discuss was either this is a case of personal identity issues or the whole plan was just a ploy to make fun out from nairalanders

I for one look forward to ur post, and I believe most nairalanders do.

the intrigue part is offcourse the bashing/insults/feudalism/hatred that accompanies the comments in your thread.

..a roomie finally concluded 'she is perfectly ok, if she isn't she would have been deported, all is a detour'

H2Ossss:
I never called you an atheist bro... you are the one in need of passage comprehension... I said I used to respect atheist... not the 1ce on nairaland these days... Cant remember saying Op or @keenn being an atheist... remember, thats an important skill employers look for... sorry if you felt offended though.

Nigga,

Offended! Pls.

If u wanted your opinion known, why not create a thread and spill out your bile?

Making a direct assertion in someone's thread is in no way indirect/ambiguous.

H2Ossss:
I used to respect atheist... they were very smart people.. but all these new breed wanna be atheist coming up on nairaland these days are the dumbest people ive seen... even people that carve gods out of wood or stones are wiser.... smh.

I never said I was/am an atheist

Its better u get comprehensions well as this is an important skill employers are watching for.

Was inclined to make a posts after a fellow made some heinous assertions about spirit wives. Read..

I was once a Christian, a devoted one at that.
During this said period I experienced sexual
relations in the dream. With great fear, I tried
fasting, prayers, deliverance sections and what
have u. I lived in guilt and withdrawal during
those period ...'I have a spirit wives' I resulted.

Being an agnostic-atheist saved me

In my early days of agnostic journey, I came to
realize it was just in my head, mere brain
conjecture.

Upon realization of my agnostic state, in my
dreams, I would so b.ang the hell out of this so
called spirit wives, I would try all sort of crazy
styles that even a porn star will shake her head
for. I go to sleep with with a planned sex style to
experiment with.

Sad enough, my spirit wives don't visit me again,
'may be the ba.nging was too much', I resulted.

were ever u my spirit wives are, please come
home, I miss u. (there's this new style av been
thinking of)

Was thinking I'll just pass, but decided to drop my little something something

Atheist negate the existence of a deity, disproving the existence of a grandeur omni-omni should make satan(a sub) negligible.

Ur post is not only clowny, but sicky

I disagree with one of your premises, and that's the MUSCULAR

I stand to be corrected, show me a muscular man(that earn is masculinity through bodybuilding) that beats his girl/wife and I will show u a god that bleeds.

It is this simple, to gain muscle requires pain, endurance, dedication, discipline and long suffering ....all are emotional conditions that are surmounted through patience.

Random guys are the beaters not the muscular ones.

Still, I stand to be corrected
