My girlfriend once tried to change me, but I wouldn't yield. I wanted to, but the illusion of religion didn't overcome my free thought. Now she loves me anyhow, she doesn't even mention it anymore. If she invites me to special church services, I go. But we both know am not into such stuff.

at least It ended well for you

DoctorAlien:
Richard Dawkins, possibly the most famous atheist in the world, immediately went on a tear on Twitter, blaming victims for their own rapes if they were drinking. “Officer, it’s not my fault I was drunk driving. You see, somebody got me drunk,” he tweeted, comparing being forced to have sex with the choice to drive drunk.

When called out on it, he doubled down by suggesting that rape victims are the real predators, out to get men put in jail: “If you want to be in a position to testify & jail a man, don’t get drunk.”

For someone who is a supposed rationalist, Dawkins refused to even acknowledge the basic difference between making the choice to break the law and being the victim of a crime. But only for rape, of course. It’s unlikely Dawkins would think it’s your fault if you are standing there minding your own business, while drunk, and someone hits you for no reason. But if the assault occurs with a pen.s instead of a fist, in Dawkins’ mind, suddenly the victim is the person at fault.

atheism is a non prophet organisation Richards Dawkins don't symbolise or represent what atheism is.

He got what was coming to him

The first page of this thread is a comic relief.

But seriously, OP, if she's a devoted Christian just forget it.

There are some that are lukewarm and there are some that are very hot.

If it's the hot one just stay away, except you're ready to be refined or burnt by that fire. It depends on your motive behind playing with the fire, that will either refine you or burn you.

Anas09, I sight you.

Happy Sunday everyone.

let the fire burn

Just search Nairaland thousands of well reasoned arguments can be found. Okay maybe not so well reasoned but it should do

seunny4lif:
Where are my crews??

Why can't Buhari resign too

i think you guys are getting bans

ginagold01:
Have you ever thought of dieing in your sleep,just right before you have your night rest? This happens to me every night. What creeps me most is that I always feel i'll go to hell. some say deliverance is the best solution, God knows I'm not possessed. If you've been on this road before,please do profer help.

if you are always thinking you might die and will go to hell. then you should know the level of belief you have in your religion is unhealthy.

Anas09:
Ogbolor, see slowness.
Shey he wants a Christian to play cheers game with?

@Op, What happened to witches and satanists? Don't you know they won't object? Wait, why can't u just look for atheist/Satanists already?

for someone like you I know it's hard been an a=hole. For the sake of humanity just try

LightandDarkness:
Please F off. where did he say anything about sex? Resist your urge to be an a-hole once in a while.

Anyway Op its unfortunate she feels that way but lots of christians and muslims too are like that, wont even date a theist from another religion. If you're serious about her best thing is to let her know she can't change you or you wont change her and if it doesn't happen it doesn't happen. You might get lucky and find a nice liberal christian/muslim etc girl or someone who doesnt really mind.

thanks. Been struggling with letting go.

Anas09:
First off, If she is a Christian she should not date you. Christians do not have sex outside of marriage. Secondly, What has Light got to do with Darkness?

She's just being human to keep a friendly disposition towards you.

If Christ lives in her, you are wasting your time.

cool down... I haven't said anything about sex, Liking someone and wanting to be liked back isn't about sex. Remember not everyone is like you.

The people don turn Catholics i.e the pope can only be changed if the incumbent dies or retires

Where is the IDGAF PEPS

dabraska:
Brother, I totally agree with you. You'd also agree with me that wisdom, in this part of the world is necessary. Only a man who's alive can fight. A dead man is gone and forgotten. In emergency exeptions, no warrant is needed. Please check Google. The policemen can easily claim that it's an emergency situation.

you're right. It just pains me that the people who are trusted with our lives, money and property just has the right to take it any time without any repercussions.,we should really do something, anything about this. This shit pains me so much I feel I might lose my life if a police man stops and trys to encroach on my civil rights. I call the rights my fvck1ng civil rights for fvcks sake. Am p1ssed

There is this girl I like, i told her that am an Atheist, she was flabagasted at first then she tried preaching to me. But when I won't yield she changed the topic. After that instance i told her i liked her but then i didn't really get any affirmative response but then we are still talking and we were still like on good terms, But then i can't just get it out of my head that the only reason we are still talking is because she is hopeful that she would one day change me.
I just feel and i want her to want me for who and what i am. The thing is I have no problem with her being a Christian and all...

dabraska:
Let's leave warrants alone. A policeman can walk up to you and get details from you at his/her discretion. It's also done abroad. Remember hat these guys are first human before being uniform men. So there is the tendency to misbehave. However, If a policeman walks up to you, kindly comply and when he's done and can't find nothing, then you have a case.

why should we leave warrant alone? Getting details from you is different from been told to unlock your phone. No police man has the right to search your house without warrant talk less your phone. I don't think we should always turn the other check i believe the right thing should be done in the face of any adversary.

I hope the mobile phone community takes this break through seriously it could be a serious game changer

BEENUEL:
And Naija 18yrs has this urge and high spirit to fix her Relationship!.....it's huge...I wonna cry

the above poster has this special sense of an African!..."Nonsense"

And any doughty that type nor upload IDGAF meme, may the heaven thunder tire down his/her device... try it doughty, just try it...and see lightening splashing on your device.

baba you can vex oo

What has this Gods done for us anyways you guys should pray to me, so that if your prayers aren't answered you will me to blame.

dabraska:
No offence to the guy but he was wrong. Police asked you to unlock your phone. C'mon show it to them! They have the right to ask to search your phone or belongings. That's why they are policemen. You refusing to open your phone is not right.

However, how you could have had a case is if you were being accused wrongly of being a yahoo boy after your phone has been searched.

show me the statue that allows police to tell you to unlock your phone without a warrant

The theif had it coming

Sunnymatey:
'Police is ur friend'

coming from someone who has never witnessed police brutality

Lalasticala

Misuse of police power is something else in this country. That was how we were stopped the other day while travelling by police and then all the guys in the car was asked to open their bags for checking. A guy almost got arrested because a new power bank which he just bought was found in his bag

Scholar8200:
op, there is repetition, and there is VAIN repetition. The former was commended (Luke 18) while the latter is condemned . You have given us an example of the latter. The former is illustrated:

And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Matthew 26:44

Besides understand that what makes repetition vain is when we:

think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Matthew 6:7b

In other words when our faith is not in the Lord but in how much/fast we pray.

Does this condemn long prayers? NO (Jesus spent whole nights in prayer but it was based on faith in God, not faith in prayer length achieved by affectatious repetitions)

i was expecting this. In MFM you will hear Olukoya saying 'pray louder than the person beside you" what does this imply? Most people pray louder and longer because they believe their prayers will be heard thereby leading to lots of repititions in their prayers. In short am repetition is not needed in prayers since God isn't deaf or has memory problems
.

luvlyoracle:
Your soldering is very bad

thought I was the only one who noticed

xpmode:
Those repetition really matters.

repetition in prayers in not disobedience

did you read that bible verse

bfeet:
That's a very good observation but the fact of the matter is that christians today generally don't obey the bible. They pray that their enemies should fall down & die when the bible clearly states that they should love them. Women go to church without covering their hair which is clearly instructed in the bible.

So there is a general disobedient spirit among Christians today

in short Christianz don't even follow their own holy book any more. What should they be called then?

He should take one job not the two

Matthew 6:7-
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking


I noticed when i go to churches e.g MFM, CAC, Deeper Life e.t.c when it comes to prayers words are very much repeated a lot. And yet Jesus christ clearly can be quoted as being against vain repititions in prayers
