Why not master designers?

Because there would always be war in a land claimed by multiple kings. And we do not have any God warring over us nor claiming ownership of our House (the earth)

WE HAVE ONLY ONE LANDLORD.

It's as simple as that!

Good evening folks, this is directed to atheists here. What made you to stop believing in God or what are the circumstances that led to that?
I'll tell mine later in the thread but for now I'm eager to hear from you guys. Thanks

I did an objective comparison between reality and my beliefs, I realised that if I wasn't already biased to believe a specific set of beliefs, I would have no real reason to believe.

I reached the age of reason and I also have to thank the brilliant atheists and not so brilliant theists on nairaland whose arguments made me think.

When I hear christians speak it is now so obvious that they are unable or unwilling to reason.

Look at your self?

Is it not that Christians woke up one day and then suddenly they were attacked, without provocation like bandits and armed robbers called atheists?

Who obviously had planned and brilliantly prepared their attack on Christians like Britain attacked Lagos

So, how do you reasonably expect that the Christians who were suddenly attacked would successfully defend their ground?

Even US, the Babylon who taught you atheism could not defend itself when Japan attacked them.

You basis is invalid.

As you see, NO ATHEIST ATTACK STANDS TODAY FOR WE HAVE DESTROYED ALL THEIR ONSLAUGHTS.

AND WE ARE HERE READY TO DESTROY ANY WEAPON THEY DEPLOY.

You don't even believe on your own preachings.....


Why do you hide to spill trashy things about people's religion? Why can't you just say you don't belong to any religion than criticize what we do and why is your voice so loud on Christianity than Islam...

What do u mean by "believe in my own preaching?" what do i have to believe about my preaching? Dont you understand that ur believe have not been shown to be the fact, just nonsense? Is that too hard for u to understand.. The preaching is urs not mine, i am just seeing holes in the nonsense u believe.

This question might not be for me.

I was born a Christian, then I turned to an atheist, then I switched to a theist.

I believe there's a God, but I don't believe I need to belong to any religion to follow that God.

I left Christianity because of the discrepancies in the Bible.

The Bible has been written and translated so much that the original text is gone.

Now what we have is a bunch of bullcrap.

I stopped being an atheist and became a theist because I know there's a God.

Speaking of religion, I've joined the religion of my forefathers; African traditional religion.

The purest form there is.

It's always their hatred for Christianity....


I've always wanted to dare an atheist...A true one..To go to the North, near a mosque and proclaim his disbelieve openly there....Tell the people that there's no God or Allah...

Just try it....I'd love to see something...

Seun, I dare you particularly...

Lol...See All of them quoting me and wailing as usual...

Point is, they're scared of getting killed....

But I want the people that knows how to cut neck to send you to go meet their Allah with lots of virgins, so you'd believe that there is a life after here....

By then, you must have been rotting in hell...

Is that why you're crying? grin
You want to see atheists killed so bad but it's not going to happen. Christians suffer more from these extremists and even with how loud Christians are, you don't see atheists daring them to go to Islamic countries to preach.
You'll only experience more pains and headaches seeing atheists grow in numbers. tongue

You've been picking on Christianity since your creation...

This shouldn't be a problem....

What I want to understand is why you guys are very bold to talk nonsense about Christianity in Christians states and we overlook and leave the fight for Almighty God to fight for himself....

Yet you said there's no God and by that you mean there's no Allah, So why haven't you people go to Islamic states in be talking this and let's see if you will be spared.

At least, as Christians, we've been preaching even in Muslims states. If they kill us, we don't fight back. Now, atheist should try it.

Where and where did you see atheists talking about Christianity if not on social media? grin grin grin
How many atheists have you met or do you even know in real life?

It's not something that happens instantly. It's a gradual process. Could take months or years.
At first you might become angry or annoyed when you see criticisms about your religion. You know those criticisms are valid but you try to fight it off because you don't want to feel like you've believed a lie your whole life. Then you become curious and start listening to both sides, see which one makes more sense.
Once you start seeing reasons in those criticisms, your mind opens up gradually. You won't admit at that time that you're an atheist, but you'd know you have lost a lot of faith in your beliefs. Well, that's for me Sha.
And I've been happier ever since.

That's also true. Now that you've mentioned it I've been doing some thinking though on how one's forced and conditioned to believe what others are believing because it's common to do so.
Could it be out of social pressure?

Is atheism not also forcing and conditioning you with the same social pressure?

You are just a follow-follow, following the noisemakers!

So when your living becomes more miserable than before, remember, you killed yourrelf and atheism placed the stone over your dying soul.

Not so much as social pressure as social conditioning. The family and society you are born into shapes a lot about what you tend to believe, for instance I was born to an active believer in Christianity in a predominantly Christian society while someone in India could be born at the same time and date as me to active belivers in Hinduism, thus I became a Christian while that person became a Hindu. It is very unlikely that I initially would have become a Hindu since nothing in my environment would have exposed me to that belief system meanwhile my parents and the society presented Christian as true and others as false so I operated under that impression for most my life until I took a hard look at it. That is the other thing society does to help maintain belief, it tends to try to stifle critical inquisition into belief systems it holds dear even to it's own detriment.
