queensmith: this is it! brilliant post!

In reality, we all act this way due to fear of the unknown. Religion seems to be the 'better' choice since in a way you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, but if it turns out God is just an illusion one can potentially waste his/her life on something that has never had any basis.

If it is only their own life they waste, then there wouldn't be any problem.

Goldieluks: That is where you go wrong dear. People think that intelligence attained from
vast knowledge of studying human theories, makes them a complete being.
But that is not always the case,because the type of intelligence we humans should be aiming
at, is that of understanding and knowing the Bible at our finger tips, because on the
day of judgement God will not be interested in your worldy knowledge, by asking (my son/daughter
how many chapters of karl max's/sigmund freud/mark johnson's book did you study.

Focus would be on how you understood the Bible and applied it to your everyday life.

Why would any sane person want to marry a woman like this?

1Emmy: intelligent composition. However, i hope you ant offending the holy spirit. If so am out.

you wouldn't know, would you?

Shollypopz: *rolls eyes* U are just a subtle chauvinist deluded by his own opionions; The fact that i don't think the way you expect me to, doesn't mean i'm dishonest. Leave your cage Mr!
Pardon me for not seeing your bigotry as fun.

Haha.
I believe a Mr Intelligence would do you a lot of good.

joe4christ: Next time no use bible play o, it contain blessings and curses o, wont say no one ever told you!

please put your bible to the test and curse me.

crackhouse: this atheist again. Everytime u are on nairaland. Do u work in cyber café?

How would you know this if you weren't here everytime as well?

dirtymoney: watch your tongue or else you sin against the spirit.
am out!

this is why we are in this mess.
olodo. continue worrying about spirits.

kimberluge: Are u alrite? Ur sicker dan I tot,buzz off!!

ad hominem

Shollypopz: for an atheist, u are pretty shallow; and then you condemn religion for being sexist.

i try to be very honest and have fun.
try it. you might like it.

see them.

kimberluge: Mr Poster,do unto others wat u want dem to do to u,even d bible knows how to treat a woman!

If only that statement also applies to ana1 sex.

cowgurl: Finally!
Lmsao @ intolerant attitude
Too bad you have a grudge but am gonna pass on reciprocating the gesture cos I like you n above all, am enjoying this e-chat with you.

My final question to you Sir,
Would you marry a christian Lady (not me o' course) and allow her worship her God + train your kids in like manner?

Yes I would. Infact I married one and opened her eyes to the evils of her religion. Even though she has not yet graduated to blaspheming as a real atheist, she has not stepped into a church for a very long time now.

Please I don't have a grudge but you were coming at it aggresively.

if you don't know how to treat ladies, you shouldn't be dating ladies.

solve your own problems first.

ugly girls suffer a lot in this world.

Daresh: That's sad!

unfortunately sad but true. everybody lies.

can i recommend a nice movie on the subject for you?
"the invention of lying" by ricky gervais.

watch it and see that it is impossible to not lie.

crackhouse: yeah that's part of life of aetheists

no man. studies show that everyboby lie all the time as long as it is in their general interest to do so.

Delilah!

marvelck: This is when as a child you always want to be around your mom and dad (especially with your mom). But as you are growing, you are gradually drifing away from them. Since you are now a big boy or girl, you seem to crave less of their company, protection or 'petting'...as a child you do a whole lot with your folks. confide in them and also spend lot of time with them. u welcome them with joy and embrace each time they come back from market or work. you peck them, help to pick their hair, assist your mom in the kitchen (even if its only to watch her cook), play video game with your dad, etc. but as one becomes an adult, we tend to do less of all this while drifting away gradually/unknowingly from our folks. I call this law of diminishing love... Abeg, make una dey cherish una papa and mama all the time o. no matter what. For my bible tells me in Proverbs 6:20, to follow my father's good advice; and never to wander off from my mother's teachings. Abi no be so?

You have a talking bible?!
abeg this na romance section.
family matters have another section.
seun, you need more moderators. maybe it's time you start looking outside your tribe.

marvelck: You and your partner can make your relationship strong and solid through the following means...

1. When you and your partner makes the bible the center of your relationship. spending time on the word together is crucial to growing your faith and your relationship.

2.Your relationship can also be made solid and strong when you are comfortable being with the other person. which is the real strength of a relationship.

3.And also by praying together with your partner. For a couple who prays together-- stays together.

4.One thing we can learn from Jesus is how to be selfless. It is important to practice this as often as possible in our relationships – and to be sure that that selflessness goes both ways.

5.Couples who are perfect for each other still don’t always agree – it is important to know that it that is okay! God’s wants us to learn from each other, and disagreements are one way for that to happen.

6.It is essential to be able to go to church together for the teaching, the community, and to have a common understanding of each other’s beliefs.

7.The person God has in mind for you will be perfect for you, but sometimes you won’t always agree on what to do for fun. It is important for your boyfriend/girlfriend to know that you care about the things they enjoy even if you don’t enjoy them yourself.

8. Getting out of your comfort zone can be a good thing! However, if the person you are dating continually insists that you do things that you aren’t comfortable with, no matter how big or how small, they are not the person God has planned for you.

9. All relationships are different, but these “big topics” can make or break them. While not “first date” material, it is important to discuss these four topics in order to know if this relationship is a part of God’s plan.

10. No one knows where God plans for them to go or what God plans for them to be – both of you must be willing to submit to God’s will!

Courtesy Jesus Daily...

what does god know about relationships? Is he in one?

Shollypopz: what's this suppose to mean
what's funny

Hehehe.
even if i explain it, i'm afraid you would still need an intelligent man to understand it.

Saifullah01: They say there is no smoke without fire, before you brand me as a conspiracy theorist, please read and share your own perspectives on global events.

I used to remember Pakistan as a country of brilliant nuclear scientist/physicists, in hot rivalry with India in all aspects, then came the US and now they are more known for suicide bombers and militants.

Iraq used to be known as a country with mythical cities like the famous Baghdad; home of one of the worlds oldest university, and although ruled by a tyrant the classical cities of Iraq never lost their enchantment, then came the US and u know the rest...

Nigeria a country with a significant military history, the original and only BIG BROTHER AFRICA while SA was wallowing under the crush of arpatheid, a country rich in culture and religion, it citizens well known for their 'I no send' attitude across Africa and indeed the world,..... but do we really want to know what happens when America comes?

Yorubas used to be known as fearless warriors with integrity and self respect. Then we saw Awolowo, Abiola, Oladopo Diya.

cowgurl: .

And as such we should'nt put them into consideration before getting married? Are u kidding me? Or that statement of yours only applies to this issue, which would be hilarious.
Listen, it's more like you knowing your girl is having same genotype as you (AS) and you both still went ahead in tying the damn knots without thinking how that decision of yours is gonna affect ur kids, it's totally ridiculous!

You see, genotype doesn't change. A church going good christian husband could end up atheist after years of marriage and childbearing. Please compare comparables.

cowgurl: Yes! It's no guarantee cos kids nowadays mingle with all manner of folks and get influenced in one way or the other. We've not even seen the last of this many religions yet, more are still upcoming I tell ya.

All am saying is simple, it's advisable to get married to your faith QED!

As I said before, faith is not constant. It is good for children to mingle and get knowledge.
Intolerant attitude like yours will surely drive your family to atheism. (husband and children)

fluid26: hmmm...so intelligence turns u on. Little wonder!

cowgurl: Howdy Logic Mind!
Reading tru ur post, it was quite obvious to me u already have d answer(I bet -ve)of ur so called "naija gals mentality". That being said, 'l go ahead n put down Cowgurl's n u are free 2 question it cos 'l be right here 2 answer.

Okay, I can b friends with + date an atheist but Marriage? NAY.
I just can't see mysef getting married in other religion and I sure won't reprimand any1 who wants to cos it's them + their prerogative to do whatsoever they deem fit.

Fact is, right now one may be feeling it's okay to marry from other religions but wat happens wen dem kids are born in2 such a family? Wat wil b their faith? Do u even think about them b4 making them decisions?

IT'S JUST NOT ADVISABLE!

Children nowadays do what they want mostly.
My parents were staunch christian church goers, but I ended up an atheist, so it's no guarantee.

foyeks2001: my bible tells me that '' do not be equally yoked with unbelievers'' meaning d suppose partner can as well influences ur faith in God be it positively or negatively....but always good to be on a safer side....so it is a capital NO for me

My wife used to talk like that. Then I became an atheist. Today she is a converted atheist.
People change.

Dyt: abt who den?

you

Dyt: and u want one of naija babes ryt?

this is not about me. ok?

alj harem: Imagine Uche, Ola and Musa all living Lagos. Then Ola decides to write to Lagos governor affect all of them from Uche to Musa not knowing that Uche does not care about him and Musa nor for the state but only care about what is going on in the east aka alaigbo.

is that all you can imagine?
imagine Uche, Ola and Musa passing an exam, Uche gets best grades but is refused admission because he is from Alaigbo.
imagine Uche, Ola and Musa worshipping their gods, Uche's family gets bombed because he is from Alaigbo.

kingoflag: There's clearly a difference in the thought process of people that were born/raised outside Nigeria, and those that spent their whole lives in Nigeria---ESPECIALLY amongst the supposedly most educated and most industrious group in the world. A lot of you need to just organize a picnic of like minds on the edge of a cliff and sip on chilled "Poison on the rocks" and wait for the effects to kick in, because, if peace is what is needed in Nigeria your like will ALWAYS be an hinderance with your affinity for hate mongering.

who needs sharia peace?
abeg give me my country
Biafra!, your children are crying out for you.
