My Dad called me this evening to tell me the essence of praying. The thing is that I don't believe praying solves anything Atleast to me. the day I stopped believing and started working more on myself, I found out that things started getting better for me than those who goes to the Church and Mosques.

When I think about a lot of things I have read and what I have experienced I feel like I have always been deceived all my life.

The Pastors and Prophets with their fake miracles or the Boko Haram and their suicide with the reasons of going to heaven to get virgins.

I currently live with them though I plan on moving to my own place by the end of this year or early next year.

I really want to tell them in a polite way so they can accept my way.

My Dad won't accept this, as he believes that it is God or nothing.

Simple... Tell him you don't want to belong to any religion... My mom has done everything to me... She even threatened me.. December 31st last year I slept throughtout the night... My mom threatened fire and brimstone I did not bulge. I got to school she delayed my feeding allowance for 3 weeks, on Sunday she will call me and ask where am I and I will tell her that I'm on my bed. She even threatened me with the wrath of God on disobedient children.

Just make sure you stand your ground and never bulge... Tell them your reasons and be serious about it... Don't let anyone influence your decision... You are a person of yourself.

Even now, my mom has now resort to begging... She's now begging me but ain't gonna go to any place of worship.

Wait until you move out then you will understand the power of prayer.

It's not their business!

indadi:



I really don't understand what you mean
I learned to work hard for what I want so that I won't have to beg from others.
I have my reasons for my decision but that's a story for another day

It will shock you to know that the prayerfulness of your parents formed the essence of grace you are enjoying. Don't be deceived if anyone tells you that there is no God...

You have have found the right path!
You may not belong to any religion but still believe in a Creator (SOURCE) whom you personally have a connection with.

You don’t need to explain to anybody your reasons for your decision just work smart and hard as you would be led to.
Move and become financially independent then it would be easier for your parents to understand since you no longer stay with them. But while you are still under their roof and care you might have to pretend for now.

Your Dad is very correct. It is Jehovah God or nothing. Talk to Jehovah's witnesses arond you, you will learn better why you need to worship God in spirit.

I have been in your shoes few years ago. You don't need to explain to them. What you just have to do is to keep your belief to yourself, work hard till you get your own place, where you are free to live your own life.
Telling them will make the home uncomfortable for both parties. It won't end well for you since you still depend on them.. This is from my experience

Hichatt:

Search for Grailmessage on nairaland he has all you need to know

You don’t seem to understand the point, He doesn’t want to believe in anything, Grail message seems to be a religion provided it has a form of prayers carried out.
PS; I’ll read about it’s origin so I can understand it better just for knowledge purposes tho.

You have been Liberated.
Your TOPIC is one of the most distinguished Topics this year.
I keep telling people that kids are forced into religion because they have no choice of their own.
IF most kids had such, they would not chose any of the see religions causing troubles everywhere.
These RELIGIONS do not know God at all.
In fact, they don't have anything to do with God not to talk of hearing from him.

The problem with religion especially Some if not many Christians is they emphasize so much on heaven and church activities forgetting ure living in the real world and fail to equip Christians with skills to face the real world especially when same Christians are not exactly ready to go to heaven bt want to enjoy long life on earth.

How to face the real world and conquer it many Christians don’t know. Bt they know how to handle numerous church activities. It’s like cramming Christianity.

The problem isn’t Christianity bt how some/most people practice it. It’s very faulty and unreal. Op pls don’t abandon ur faith it’s the best thing that can happen to u. Just practice it correctly.

Once you see the light, there's no way you go back to the darkness. I laugh at these Christians trying to proselytize to him.

Another 'soul' has been saved from the shackles of religion. He is always awoken. Nothing will make him go back to the darkness called religion except he decides to do it for personal gains with his brain fully intact. After all, most Pastors were awoken before becoming Pastors. Only there for the money

My brother, just as ur father said is God or nothing. No matter how rich u ar, ur riches cant last without God. Though not all riches frm comes from GOD, satan himself also bless who work for him just as God does, but trust me satan riches fade so quickly just as hushpuppi riches. So hold GOD by his word.

Are you agnostic?
I am not a conventionally religious person too and my folks had issues with this, esp my Mum. I stopped attending church more than 15yrs ago, I had to figure out a path for myself. I am neither agnostic nor atheist.

Even though we have more of failed religions in this day and age, I still don't have anything against any religion though, cos I consider the foundational aspect essential.

Since you are under their roof, you may have to explain your stance to them and prolly put up with whatever comes after that till they come to terms with you or you move out.

It's spiritually unethical to impose a form of spirituality on any soul.

Live your life, you are an adult.

Afamsi:
I bet you don't know much about Christianity. Christianity never encourages laziness. In Christianity you back your belief with your work.

Christianity is SHIT!!

Take your time to study genuine Islaam, you will never regret it. Even as a Muslim, I had to take some time to start learning the basics all over again while I was a Geography Student at the University.

Thank me later.

Most people are atheist until they experience a near death experience.

Fear anyone who says my religion is humanity!

You can chose to live a religious life without those men of god ...read your bible or quran and abide by their teachings. If you look all those fake people and decide not to ...its also good but Prayer works

I insulted christians, called them thieves in front of my mom.

I left home, age 18, stopped attending church, but I told God, if you truly exist, I want proof. There are many religions, show me the one.


I will lie to mom that I don't miss church any time I go home.

Mama kept praying, took my name to women fellowship, sisters too were praying, brother wrote my name and kept in his Bible.

I was living wild, but there was a void drugs, money or sex couldn't fill until.....
God revealed himself to me.
I'm now a believer.


I was a skeptic like you.

Even as I Christian, I can see through your concerns. Religion should not be imposed. However, you also need to understand that your parents have some responsibility which is what they exercise by talking , teaching and instructing you to learn in Church. Although it is up to you to filter these things they tell you or do for you to what you want and what you do not want but don't stop them from playing their role. I know they will continue to pray for you irrespective of your decision to come to the full knowledge of Christ.

Even before my own personal experience, I thought Christianity was scam.

Your father does not need to remind you again about your need to worship what you like, it a free world after all. You are well educated and you still have money in the bank and plenty food in the house and your tomorrow is fully secured.

My dear it is either you are stupid and foolish listening to your dad Or it is your dad that is very ignorant and foolish to be reminding you to worship God almighty.

You happen to be one of the creator of this world and you can understand everything happening around you. Probably you employ people and assign tasks at will to them and they obey you because everything is going well for you.

Sorry ooooh, you are very wrong and there is a banana peel on the ground near where you are currently standing and because you are blind with your eyes wide open can not see the common banana peels that will fall you shortly.

For this demonic thinking to have come to your mind, run very quickly to a worship center near you and offer a prayer requests to God almighty for forgiveness and blessings upon you and your father. Sharp Sharp. Wishing you well and speedy recovery from unbelieving spirits.

You don't have to tell them or anyone else

Have you personally encountered Christ? Believe me, you will never be the same?

All you need is to invite Him into your life and guide you.

I'm so angry how things are not working for me i have stopped praying and sometimes attack people who ask me to pray. Inner me i think it's bad but how i feel so bad supersede my belief currently

How would working harder stops you from praying.
Even Bible believes that your faith without work is dead.

Do not bother to raise the issue for now cos you won't get any meaningful response. Wait till you move out of your parents house and make your decision known to them if it is necessary. I stopped attending all religious programs when i moved out of my parents house.

Lol, indadi, it’s very easy. Your soul is for your keeping. A king may move a man but when that man faces his maker, it will not suffice to say that the king asked that of him and that’s why he did it.

One thing though, such conversations tend to be easier when you become independent because people generally expect you to do what they tell you especially if they are your benefactor.

Just to chip in, I’m all for not wanting to belong to any religion but I hope you do realize that you did not create yourself? I’m sure you do realize that the universe is too orderly to be borne out of chaos and happenstance?

My advice would be for you to be less religious but more spiritual.

I’m Christian myself and whilst I donot attempt to proselytize, I crave your indulgence to let me say that I hope you know there are religions that are able to summon demons and evil spirits through incantations and use of symbolism such as angles and the likes.

In Christianity, Christ has made the process of communing with God less dramatic and so people tend to mistake this for inefficacy. The resultant effect is outright disbelief and faith that alternates between hot, lukewarm and and cold.

If demons exist, then best believe that there is an opposing side which is righteousness, holiness, purity and the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

If the two sides I spoke of exist, then best believe that there is no middle ground, it’s either you’re on God’s side or the devil’s.

Another trick of the devil you should be wary of is that it presents soo many alternatives to outright satanism but at the end of the day, all roads lead to devil worship. For instance, atheism, agnosticism, Buddhism, yoga, etc etc are all convenient alternatives for devil worship.

If you’re not worshiping God, then you’re worshiping a fallen angel whose master is the devil.

Again, if you don’t believe any deity exists, you then owe it to yourself to seek out an occultic association and verify my claim as to whether they are able to summon spirits or not. The caveat is that you may not come out of the experience unscathed.

If that option is too scary for you, why don’t you try God first and see if He shows up before you embrace full disbelief. Take care buddy
