Op are you just getting to know that churches are business centers?

Nobody needs this Mr Speaker. What we need is progress for NNigeria standard of living

rationalmind:
Few Nigerian ladies will get married to a man they know is an atheist. I once dated a lady who was getting impatient and wanted to get married.

Since getting married was the last thing on my mind, I didn't want to waste her time so I thought of breaking up.

I told her I had a confession to make and that I was an atheist. That was the beginning of the end of the relationship.

smart strategy

johnydon22:
In a superstitiously and religiously society like the african society, being an atheist is seen awkward and some fanatics will brand you a demon.

It is understandable why religious men/women will run away when they find out their partner is an atheist, sound minds that are tolerant and understanding are very rare.

I for one is an agnostic atheist a very proud one for that matter and i must say even as an atheist people in my street respect me a lot and seek my counsel on religious arguments, i rarely say am one openly but everyone knows for sure and has distinguished me from many who always loves talking and discussing with me even the girls tho am a one man guy so i stick with my girl friend who is also a theist.

She knows my atheistic stance and is cool with that, insist she will like a church wedding which am ok with cus Atheism doesn't mean Anti-theism... That i don't drink star doesn't mean i can't wear a t-shirt with star brand.
To me wedding in church for her is just a ceremonial process which am ok with.

I have many atheist friends who are girls and they are of the opinion of marrying a fellow atheist. If i was not in a relationship with the love of my life i would have loved to marry one of these my atheist female friends tho..

Anyway I think Ideologies evolve with time, so african superstitious mentality will soon be redefined to suite a secular world of which our world is evolving into...

Off topic - what's it with women and white wedding?
I still don't understand

Really can't wait to see what these archaeologist will find in ife, another sets of ori olokun would be wonderful.

I just wish The Ooni and his chiefs can give access to certain deep areas

I don't know who he/she is neither do I know what you're talking about.

A nairalander making research and collating proof for the efficiency of juju

.

freecocoa:
There are natural substances that can be used to hurt people, these herbalists know that and use it to do there jobs, like giving it to people to hurt others, but if you tell me that, one man somewhere will conjure something and kill someone he can't see, Omo na lie.

people just keep exaggerating the whole juju thing for fun really

SpeedyConnect:
My guy abeg o. What do we make of juju. Or dont you believe such exists too?

How does juju concern this matter? Is it ur God that makes juju?

ronald4lif:
Are you comparing Obama existence with some improbable voodoo? Obama is extant and an actuality, while the existence of a juju is a groundless rumour.

Until I'm supplied with AK47 and RPG's then shoot at anyone who claim to be an odeshi and is immune from bullets, without him suffering serious injuries and dying in the process, that to me is also a joke.

Why don't you try it? What's stopping you?
Folykaze already call you all out some time ago

lepasharon:
Yep, we have also provided Prosthetic legs for amputees because God seems to not want to heal them.

God seems to be powerless in that sector

Ghost01:
How recent?

Bro you would have to dabble into their family records

stigman:
I pity you, even [b] babalawo fear the name JESUS[/b]you don't believe in God because you came out of ur perants abi

Slimmos:

Lol
Ifa is in my blood. .. a family heritage that I must follow
I cannot be atheist doesn't mean I don't know why and understand why people are

mohisi:

Mr man. There's nothing like "I woke up this morning na god win"
You woke up by ur own power. ..no god involved

It's very simple really, I don't know why people disturb others wit their God

gamaliel121:
Jesus is alive, God is real.
I believe in God..
Personally, I sin , buh I always ask God for forgiveness and grace never to sin again...
Maybe u haven't really felt God..I'll pray for u and ask God to reveal himself to you..maybe that way u can believe...
Believing in God will not take anything away from you..
Infact, it'll make u a better person.
So my brother I pray everything goes well with you and ur family and I also pray Gods reveals himself to you too den u'll believe...love u bro

How did god reveal himself to you? Did he reveal himself to u in an ecstatic way today in church? Abi u no go church

chiefolododo:
dapo, i pity your condition and i know what caused it ; probably you lost someone so dear to you or you asked something from the lord and you didnt receive answer . BUT GOD EXIST AND YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR ,He is faithful to them that are faithful to him besides you will stand b4 him one day and give account of what you have done in the flesh . shalom!

How do you know this?

okeyfx:
OP you need to read this, maybe it will change your mind. am not that holy myself but i believe in God.

Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From … GOD …

Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

P.S.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?

Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.

By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.

This is why christianity is bad for people. It makes them proud liars for Jesus

Sorry to burst ur bubble but Einstein was not a christian

donbenie:
Hahaha,No,it sucks to be YOU.. my religious beliefs or lack of is not particularly big a deal to me,believe it or not,I have more important things to worry about..if you equate being an Atheist with being HIV+,then it sucks at the amount of Brainwashed bin you run around with..

I don't think you got my point

specco:
Are you not ashamed of yourselves? A full grown intelligent adult man states that he is Fulani and not Yoruba and you're here dragging and claiming him by fire by force. Please leave the Serkis/Sarakis alone because they know their origin.
Or do you want to distort history again as in Oduduwa fell from the sky story?

Another madman who understands nothing of the comment he quoted

Ihuomadinihu:
You categorically labelled yourself a tribal bigot,so your opinions are already shitty as far as i am concerned!. At this point,you can post all your shitty comments...all the artist above are celebrated worldwide.

A tribalist is different from a bigot

I won't blame u anyway, you have always had problems understanding terms

Ghost01:
If we are to follow your analogy now, those with Fulani origins in the states of the North-West are Hausas today. Abi? And how does this your analogy apply to the Hausas in Kogi? Are they Igala today?

Recent settlers bro. . Get that in

Back in the good old days Ooni doesn't even show his face outside

A God King right there. ..Arole Oduduwa Jigbinni bi ate Ekun

sucess001:
So chincos re not oyinbos?

See as Jona don spoil education!

They are not

Ihuomadinihu:
Which shitty people? If you want a thread about native Igbo musicians you can go and open one. This is about celebrating musicians of igbo descent based abroad. There is nothing one would do and you yorubas wouldn't intrude and write nonesense!

It bites you I know

However unless you want to reach out to a mod to hide by post sorry it would remain there cus those people above Nneka and Tinie Tempah are shitty

Tinie tempah is also not top rated. ..

donbenie:
Honest reply..no She doesn't,if having peace in my life involves keeping certain information to myself then it is my Prerogative,it's not as if am hiding a +HIV status from her..

so you would keep this bottled in all your life? It sucks to be you man

Rilwayne001:
The day you stop carrying 'ebo' to 'orita-meta' to appease your imaginary 'ogun lakayae'

Ode have you ever seen me carrying ebo?
It's ur type that carry head to receive fresh mess from a dirty fellow arab slave

Btw Ogun Lakaye is no imagination. ..the earth's foundation is really Metal

Abagworo:

Now this is what you should post not the previous shitty people above all in a bid to copy

dynamic006:
For the fact that u can't boost of being an atheist means u are deceiving ur self

Try being a Christian in Iran and broadcast it
Nigeria is just too religious to be Irreligious

donbenie:
In my experience as an ATHEIST,I believe it should be on a need to know basis,am married and my wife being the religious type I find it better for peace to reign by playing along,going to church and praying in the mornings and all that,I consider it a sacrifice I have to make for my marriage..having said that you'll tend to meet people who will constantly choose to poke nose into your business with their religious fanaticism,my advice is to let it slide if you can help it,let them preach and cajole,it takes nothing from you and is often less of a stress to you than to go into arguments with the likes of such..

Honest advice here. .. your wife should know

frank317:
lol... u sound scared and confused. if its not about muslim, christian or marxist, really, what is it all about? research?

does it even sound sensible to you that one has to search for his creator?

searching for your inner self is searching for ur creator


It lives in you
