Like I said earlier, Nigeria is one of the most religious countries in the world. The ss is from the world book atlas. Trust me the way a typical religious person in the US thinks is different from what we have here, people are more open minded there regardless of your religion, they believe humanity comes first before anything else it's the opposite in present day Nigeria.

I didn't say anything like religious people are mentally unstable. I'm agnostic I've nothing against religious people as long as you don't disturb others with your religion or make yourself a nuisance in the society. Lastly, not everyone who is not religious is mad at God.

I've certainly noticed the "angry atheist" type you're talking about. I think it's because they feel the years they spent in religion robbed them of some sort of life or the other. Especially for those brought up in fundamentalist religious homes.

Plus, some religious societies, especially places like Nigeria don't like atheists. And the anger they exhibit online is their way of retaliating against the hate they receive from society. Although if you ask me, that's preaching to the wrong crowd. Plus, insulting someone else's beliefs hardly accomplishes anything.

If i'm being honest, there was once a time i used to love engaging in religious debates. Not in the insultive way tho. I was just eager to share the knowledge I had gained on religious subjects.

I later stopped tho, because I realized that for most people, belief in a god is what keeps them sane, or what gets them through some hard times in life and helps them stay at peace. I wouldn't want to take that away from them, so I generally tend to avoid most religious debates in person these days.

Except of course if someone comes up to me and insists they know everything about life and the universe. Then i let them have it.

One thing I've learnt about atheists is that they have herd mentality. There are only very few atheists but you see the rest are either followers, angry people, and those who don't like extra activities.

However, the majority even from the comments are ex-christians. The common excuse is they are not convinced about the existence of God. So, many of them will simply tell you that's why they became atheist. What they won't tell you is the disappointment they have felt.

Many have had experiences where they thought or expected God to do something but they got nothing. In anger, they left the religion because they saw no point to it. While another group fall in the category of those forced to go to church as kids on Sunday. They'd rather be at home watching a movie or with their PS4. Growing up gave them the opportunity to stay back at home.

They got used to it and so Sundays became like every other day and they forgot about church. Since they don't bother well it's as good as there's no point of religion. Then the last group which constitute the majority is school. Well that's where most people don't go to church, I never did in school. But you see when someone says there's no God, the other person well thinks it's cool and they sort of become atheists by association. So they hang around and argue the whole idea why Christians are nuts. It's a fun conversation, they flow with it and then bam, they are now confirmed atheists.

So that's about it.

This one wan buy spiritual encounter.
You never sabi what's up.

Go to any Surgical emergency in any Public Hospital and let's see if your atheism will survive that environment.

Omo i observed the life, learned different religions sat down and thought about life in general and also, never had a spiritual encounter i have spent money, a lot of money for a spiritual encounter but no level baba.The lack of evidence just make me chill. Unless God appears and shows himself to me, no level

Maynman:


And what has theism done in public hospitals?

Kaniff:
An atheist not believing in God is actually a contradicting statement.
The fact one doesn't believe in a God makes one believe in God the more only that you deny the fact because of lack of evidence. So in conclusion, there are no atheist but people who have not realized the God in them or rather let God find expression through them

Karnice600:


That's why I asked someone here earlier on if he believes in science. They don't follow science closely. Recent discoveries, especially in astrophysics, have altered many of these crazy assertions that so called atheist are using as the best cards in their pack.

Mr. Sane, I agree I am mad because I refuse to accept the junk stuffed down your throats... I'm sorry



Ordinary Satan hold your God for work since Genesis, upon say Jesus don come earth yet na still same same... tell me WEtin come be the use exactly of God?

Tell me?

frowland:

My brother, it’s not about insults. There is something fundamentally wrong with the book especially the Old Testament.
Example: The escapades of Moses and Caleb, Joshua etc is exactly as Bokoharam is to Nigeria.
'God said we should kill all of you and take over your land.'
When you read those things ever wondered that those massacres include kids, babies, pregnant woman and the elderly! Ever wondered?

this is one of the most senseless post on nairaland. Everyone knows man made phones but the only thing man knows about god is what man wrote about him. Maybe gods are debating somewhere that they made man

Dtruthspeaker:


Lies! God lovers live a very good filled and sweetly rewarding living which makes the whole world hate them.

peggywebbs:
Why are you angry? Or do you belong to the angry category of atheists? Don't worry I'll pray for you tonight for God to heal your heart.

Wilgrea7:


Since when is it a bad thing to ask questions. The only difference between the person who asks and the person who doesn't, is that the former has a desire to learn, while the latter doesn't. Asking questions doesn't make one stupid. Now you just sound salty.

SmartPolician:


God can never appear to any man if that's what you expect.

He wants to know people who genuinely love and fear Him without seeing Him.


It's better to believe that heaven exists, prepare for it and later find out that it doesn't exist than not believe that heaven exists, live a reckless lifestyle and find out that hell is real.

Na dat one shock you?
OK, what of the fact the Cain married from people that came out of nowhere

See it here:
And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

Judging by your deposition, Africans (and Nigerians in particular) live better lives than the ungodly Europeans and Americans.
Lol

1) said God lovers and not false God lovers.

2) Africans used to live better great foods, free land and housing, family and security until you people became "American and European" now you are cursed as they are, now you are jobless as they are, your children are hungry, homeless, useless drug addicts, lonely suicidal, murderers and thieves, as they are.

Dtruthspeaker:


The Bible also said that they had other "sons and daughters". And when you add the fact that they lived very long, then you can see how many they shall and can multiply.

And you can see that men who aren't even up to 80 years have had up to 12 children, who would grow up to have their own children.

Meanwhile Papa Adam still dey alive and maybe still releasing new "brothers and sisters".

Therefore, Cain could still be furiously killed when he was in his 225th year.

It's as simple as that!

you can't be an atheist in Lagos..,

Karnice600:


I think most atheist get it all muddled up when they start tryna trace their way back through a hole and a bubble...
I got to this point too, but it always ended up in my looking stupid, until I asked the question, "What is the purpose of life?"
That was when lines began falling in places and the puzzles began fitting, creating a vivid picture of the dimensional realities that hold existence together.
I never hated the idea of a Creator, I only had an open mind to learn

Kobojunkie:
Yet you continue to speak off me.

Again, the Truth I believe in isn't subjective since the source is not of me, and again, I was never told this truth since my birth, so try to stick to speaking for yourself and not others in this.

The Truth I believe in is over 2000 years old, so it was even more than 140 years ago.

sundaygray:


I studied the bible too a lot. Everything sounded like a myth just like there’s Zeus and mount olympus, and santa. There’s lack of evidence that’s the problem.
