APOSTLECHUMA:
Wole Soyinka learn from Tai Solarin who was an atheist, while here on earth. Tai didn't believe in God but his last words while he was dying in his sick bed in a Lagos hospital, was "God help me" Before one's death angels or demons will surround the person to welcome the person home and Tai cried out unto God whom he didn't believe in to help him when he saw the demons coming to welcome him into the spiritual wicked world for not believing in his Maker.

Proof?, or you're lying....

to you as you forgot one of the fundamental human rights that is freedom of worship. You cannot force religion on anyone. If that is what he believes then leave him alone to his beliefs and faith

All the people here calling him a foolish man embrace their religion out of fear not out of love or faith in God, just fear. this is why the African man is so backward, they have no idea why they do what they do, just what our parents tell us, or whatever fear society or our religious leaders have showered on us. If you want to question your faith, ask yourself this question, If you were not born a Christain or a Muslim, would you have been one now, what personal encounter have you experienced to keep you in that religion, not the fear of what will happen to you.
When you answer these questions truthfully, then you can justify your religious position.

He has asked himself those questions and justified his religious position.
You made some sense but for the part about the African man

Wole Soyinka is African I presume you are .

It is lazy and foolish to gratuitously insult Africans at the slightest opportunity.

All of you religious fanatics who are brain washed by their slave masters in believing that there is God somewhere in heaven, that when they died they will go meet God, are nothing but lower humans with little sense of reasoning. Before some of you lesser beings start insulting your fathers here, there is a higher force that created humans and every other things in this planet earth, whom we call Chukwu Okike Abiama from the part of the world I came from, English people call him God, Yoruba called him Oluwa, every race have the name the called that higher force. Religion is the invention of humans to control the society not God invention, because God is not religious neither is he interested in any religion that you practiced. No human both dead or alive since creation have died and go to heaven and come back, to tell us how heaven and God looks like to ley the claim of heaven and hell.

You can never be wiser than your creator. In Psalm 14:1. The fool said in his heart that their is no God. Education is very good but never claim that you are wiser than your creator.

Even people whom you are not fit to lace their shoes believe in God's existence. You atheists are not so rational after all.
How can you speak of rationality and make a statement as dumb as this? The ancient Greeks with all their achievements and might believed in Zeus but today Zeus is a comic book character.

Your god Yahweh will slowly and steadily lose its relevant as education and enlightenment spreads.

One day, religion will lose its grip on Africa, and we will excel!

You need to tackle the material deficit first. Once that subsides people will stop looking to the sky and charlatans who claim to speak for fictional beings for their basic needs.

Athiest means someone that doesn't believe in God

Baba said religion and diety are Mythology and human imaginative construct

What else do you want him to say to help you get it that he thinks God is a myth and a figment of your imagination


"But religion? No I don’t worship any deity. But I consider deities as creatively real and therefore my companions in my journey in both the real world and the imaginative world.”

Interesting!!!!

I’m slowly evolving from being an agnostic Christian to being an atheist.

I believe in mythology also and how it can have and has had an impact on our existence as a “set of people”. E.g: Oduduwa , Eledumare & co.

I will prefer that (African religion) to other religion if indeed I really “need” religion.
