Now one is home after a long day and willing to talk. Then the call refused to end, 20 minutes and counting. Meanwhile the essence of the conversation ended 10 minutes ago.[b] It does not help that the current brands of smartphones heat up with slight provocation. [/b]So here you are with tired eyes, weary bones beckoning for sleep and a ear acting as a heat conductor to your hot phone listening to an unending chatter. You are not being refreshing Mr/Ms toaster, you are adding to the stress of the day.

Man inhumanity to the ears

Again...thats your opinion...


your beliefs work for you...

there is difference between an opinion and a fact!

good people also encounter undesirable eventualities - fact

I need to be good so that I can attract more of good- an opinion or belief system

Some of these things listed by the OP are true. very true. although i admit that twill be difficult to keep them all but a wise girl will do well to learn as much as she can.

Dont listen to all these girls who want to sound tough or feminist. They dont get married and even the few dt do dont last in their husband's house.


Be wise.

this is not a universal truth....meaning the probability of your conclusion is not always 1.

it's like saying bad things don't happen to good people and vice versa. thinking adhering to a set pattern of rules will always create the same eventuality is quite ingenuous.

It's really true that it is easier to complicate things than make them easy.....
please op are you in graduate school and this happen to be your dissertation?
oh, could it be an altruistic act driven by your love for the black race.

the smart ones can guess my disinterestedness towards religion...
especially when my response to how was service today is often 'i wouldn't know'..
truth is there's no point announcing it, I only wish people will be preoccupied with the salvation of their own souls and let others be.

Pr0ton: I have the same issue.. Just that I don't give it a lot of worries.

I live a lie in religion I'll not be going to church if not for my parents.

And yes, my parents know about it. My dad is a pastor in one of our branches! I'm a keyboardist. I used to play in our headquater, but the G.O stopped me when he learnt I was an atheist! He's still expecting me to change. The choir needs me badly. My parents, mum especially, know no matter amount of preachings can change me. My G.O thinks the same, because when he had a discussion with me he was shocked about my knowledge of the Bible! I know than him! I even went ahead to show in some flaws in his doctrines! I can't change! Well.. Only God can if He exists.

And my future?... It's not a problem at all, though little is likely.

My current problem is my mum. I don't like the way she cries when advising me to turn to God. She thinks that'll make me have a second thought. But the more she cries, the more I hate my church

Where's BH?!

Wow, this is what I'm trying to avoid! My mum will be devastated, it will just too much to put her through that at the same time my hypocrisy is messing my head up

Meanwhile I laughed a little at the idea of 'an atheist chorister' .

There are actually more than you think..some are closet agnostic

I started loosing faith in religion, it teachings a decade ago..I am currently in a position where I don't believe in any spiritual teachings about creation neither do I believe in evolution...accepting we might never know all the answers.
I find myself in a crazy situation as no one in my family or friends know about this, so I still associate with religion and live a lie. I believe coming out clean will cause more harm than good. It's just that I wonder how long I'll continue pretending, what will I tell my future spouse and what will I teach my kids?!! How will I convincingly teach them a lie?
I don't know how many people out there are in the same position...please how are you coping? Sitting down every week and listening to some tales to prevent chaos and unnecessary dramas.
I am really tired and this mask is wearing me off
