A relation of mine was a Roman Catholic priest. He went to Canada for graduate studies, and currently work as a professor. Not only did he request to be laicised (i.e. released from the priesthood), he self-declared as an agnostic. Some of his friends and relatives ostracized him whilst only a few associate with him, especially whenever he visited Nigeria. His parents are still crossed with him as I write. Most Christians andcMuslims are fake any way, living contrary to their professed faith - hypocrites. 1 Like |

thesicilian: The last stage of Atheism is realising that the term God/Gods are Superior beings that shares the same Universe with us, they existed before us, they have evolved more than us, their Technology is currently metaphysical. Science calls them Aliens. That's what our religious people worships. When our technology advances the more and we have major breakthroughs in astronomy and quantum mechanics. Then the perceived mystery behind religion would be unveiled. |

TenQ: A miracle is generally defined, according to the etymology of the word—it comes from the Greek thaumasion and the Latin miraculum—as that which causes wonder and astonishment, being extraordinary in itself and amazing or inexplicable by normal standards. We have so many magicians that can do that. Even in Christianity you can see the mockery of “miracles” |

ModCaller:I am making no single assumption about God. I am taking you through REASON! Is an infinite regress of Cause and Effect Scientifically and Logically possible? Until you objectively truely answer this question, all your Atheism is pure emotionalism! |

Maynman:Don't be blinded by words: I said!: Although there are two kinds of satanism 1. The religious/spiritual satanism: They actually replace God with a spirit entity "Satan" 2. The irreligious satanism: They replace God with self The religious Satanist is a THEIST! The Irreligious Satanist is an ATHEIST: he doesn't relate to any higher invisible being EXCEPT himself! Of course, I am just defining the term SATANIST as not every Atheists call themselves a Satanist! |

TenQ: Don’t be blinded by ignorance You lack the knowledge of what “atheism” and “theism means. A Satanist believes in Satan. Satan is a deity. Theists are the only one that believes in Deities. Outside Theologies, Satan is not found. A satan worshipper is a monotheist or a monolatrist, which are under THEISM. Atheists don’t believe nor know who “Satan” is. And hope you know satan is a verb not a person. 1 Like |

TenQ: God is a title not a person, which believers know their god spare parts? Is it yahweh worshippers? What is the definition of atheism and theism. That’s where your problem is.

LeHMaR:Too easy to sieve through them 17998 gods do not care of exclusivity of obeisance, they also do not promise eternal reward for their adherents neither do they promise punishment for evil people. Therefore, there is nothing to be worried about them. Only two seem completely different 1. Yahweh of the Christians and Jews 2. Allah of the Muslims See, I've simplified your problem . LOL!! Your argument is extremely weak!!! |

Jennygold111: I had to fill out a form recently to support my wife in something important, I just knew that identifying as an atheist was going to cause problems for my wife so I just filled out Christian. Even my boss at work told me to tune down on identifying as an atheist in public because people get nasty about that stuff and she is right. Our clime is not exactly welcoming to atheists so my advise is where ever you can sense any form of resistance to the idea of atheism just sidestep it, you don't have to put on holier than thou attitude or form being a Saint, neutral noncommittal works just as well. No need to try acting ultra religious to get by. I still go to church with my family and even occasionally pray even though they know I don't believe, it takes nothing away from me. 2 Likes |

Maynman:It looks like you just started reading up about Atheism and it is shacking you. Your logic collapsed in front of you as you called a Nigerian who disbelief Mohamadu Buhari as the president of Nigeria and the one who claims that Donald Trump is the President of Nigeria are BOTH DELUSIONAL and I will add or REBELLIOUS! Of course God is a TITLE and in relating with newbie Atheists, I always put a qualifier "God the Creator" which is still both a title BUT Generic ! As newbie Atheists probably you are not aware that Atheism is not a DISBELIEF in Yahweh or Allah or Vishnu BUT a Disbelief in the existence of any DEITY/God! So you see that you are the one who need to go back to read up what you've been brainwashing yourself with. The question of which God/Deity is irrelevant. You are the one who has thoroughly misappropriated the definition of Atheism you claim to be! |
