Perfect answer!

Devils will always cry and complain when Truth is told them.

“The truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear.” Herbert Agar.

The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable. James A. Garfield

So, they are just miserable and telling them the Truth just makes them more angry and miserable for you remind them that they are lost and have nothing.

Why are you planning MTN?

Anyway, I'm blessed by God who created me and I've been on his grace and I can tell you that I've achieved so much from God.

You can say whatever you want but I believe in his existence. If you don't, stay happy with your disbelieve.

Believing in his existence is not the problem, the problem is that are you Keeping his commandments? Because the last time I checked those who are always quick to defend God are actually the ones who sin the most. #nonsense

You should work seriously on your English....

It's "quick to"... Not "Quite to"

Anyway, you're not to judge anyone ...So live your life and allow others live theirs ...

We will all face judgement day...

Firstly The different between you and a fool is that even a fool knows that it was a mistake but you did not


Secondly, you do not practice what you teach, you said I should leave judgment for God, but you are attacking (judging) others for being an atheist.


Thirdly, I purposely made some mistake when writing this comment, so that you can come and correct me again to prove your small intelligentcy.

Like mine started as middle, going back to pray whenever there's a problem but one day i wanted to go back to the religion stuff and discovered I've totally lost my belief in it, was a super interesting experience

I'm curious. How did your belief fade over time?

Was religion a thing you'd only turn to in times of trouble?

Lol.....

There's a difference between judging and attacking...

Moreso, I wasn't attacking you ..I only dared you to go out to the core North and walk around the streets telling them that there's no Allah and let's see if truly you're a good atheist. And i made that clear because you atheists always find away to bring Christianity into your arguments. All I want is for you guys to always stay away from Christianity and be fighting other religions...Christianity is not your problem.

Also, there's nothing like "intelligentcy"....Infact, just go back to school...You're a mess and beyond correction.

What gave you the impression that a "good atheist" needs to go about telling people their god doesn't exist?

Just one thing: LACK OF WISDOM! Hosea 4:6

Most people don't do a thorough investigation about life and humanity so when they're tired of the evil going on around them they will say "there is no God" Psalms 10:4

But then is anyone related to God so as to always expect a easy way out when your fellow humans brings their troubles?

NO! Is the answer.

So when someone now concludes saying since "God didn't come to rescue believers it means He doesn't exist" i laugh at their stupidity. Because God has His own program and whoever wants a proof of His existence only need to know His program and see if it's not in progress, running a conclusion on our own thinking without considering what God himself said is nothing but LACK OF WISDOM!

1stly, you believe God exist right? And u also believe Christianity is the true religion right? If you are very sure Christianity is the true religion why not you go to the north too and say lslam is fake, only Christianity is true? Lead by example 1st, then I will follow suit and do same.



The funny thing about people like you who clam to know English is that you do not even pass English language in Waec and Neco.

I think I disagree with you
The OP was asking what made atheists to stop believing in religion, not God
He's right cos the major thing that has given birth to atheists here is religion and I know you won't want to defend religions who are blaspheming God and turning people away from God and the truth about him.
When one is affected by religion, and he tries to join another and he sees that though they are different, they extort him, draw him away from God or hypocritical, you can't blame them if they conclude there is no God when those acting as spokesmen have failed massively- preaching peace but in times of conflict, blessing violence and destruction in the name of ethnicity and patriotism.
And when calamity strikes, they are distressed when they hear the words from the clergymen 'It is the will of God'. They love God and did everything pleasing to him and when calamity strikes, they are downhearted cos their religious leaders always lie to them that godly people always receive blessings and not calamities. Those that sing 'Abraham's blessings are mine' do not know the tests and challenges he faced to remain faithful

Personally, one yeye Pentecostal elder called out my mum in Church few years ago in the front of the people on a Sunday, I was a drummerboy then, I would have forgiven the man if it were on other days and not in Sunday. This man called her out and said she is guilty of murder (till today, it still baffles me that she did not hear anything he was saying until he asked everyone to pray for her), I was so mad, I wanted to throw the drum sticks at the both of them. I well knew she can't hurt a dog but that is what we hear today when someone enters a Church and the pastor says that the mother is responsible for his problems whereas the mother is long dead. When pastor later called mum privately to his office and asking her who she killed, she kept insisting she was innocent until she cried. She said she did not hear anything the elder was saying. I wanted to leave to go to Redeemed or Winners PR Christ Embassy, all are just the same thing. I wanted to join Catholic, I felt that use of images were wrong and I don't like the history of wars, I showed interest in Mormon, Islam, Buddha, some religions are not even in Africa. I was so few up and decided to be an atheists but atheism is not the answer either. I got fed up and prayed to God to help me draw close to him if truly there is a religion that teaches and practices the truth, I did not pray cos I don't know how to pray, I wrote a letter to him and put in under a table on the pulpit. He answered my prayers, who would have believed that I, Emmanuel Gabriel will be one of Jehovah's Witnesses and a zealous preacher? That's why I try to put myself in their shoes when I meet those who are disappointed in religion. Religion waters are drying up, most pastors don't care and most are beginning to teach nonsense that will keep their members especially when it has to do with Sex and we're in a sex mad world

You can't blame those ones, it is those who just want to reject God cos they don't want to feel accountable to him so they can pursue selfish desires that are to blame. They are the most foolish set on this universe, they have the same understanding as animals they adopt who only eat, drink and mate. They don't know God or show appreciation for him. They're pitiable.

Besides, people are taught at school that evolution is the answer and religion is incompatible with science

The wrong thing is the conclusion that there is no God or no true religion. God is the one who gave us this spiritual need and he too must set a place for those who really want to worship him acceptably. If there is no God, there will be no religion but the Bible says he does not accept all. There's only one road

It's foolish for a person who discovered that all his money are counterfeit to CONCLUDE that every naira is bad. There may be millions of others making fake money but as long as the Nigerian minting and printing company is fully in operation, the only legal company printing Nigeria currency for the nation, the legal money is still available, he should do well to study it and use it

Same illustration applies to religion, in God's eyes, there's only one religion but the others lead to destruction but since all claim to worship God, what will help one to find the true religion? He does not have to study every religion, he must allow God to guide him and the only guidance is in God's word, the Bible

The Bible says that God's people honor God's name, who are doing so today?
God's people have deep love for one another above other things and they won't go to war but promote peace? Who are doing so today?
God's people preach and teach the good news of God's kingdom and not some human government. Who are doing so today?
God's people promote Bible truths and not philosophy or human tradition like immortality of soul, hellfire, image and ancestor worship, who are doing so today?
God's people are politically neutral, who are those today?
God's people honor God's word
They put faith in Jesus Christ
The true religion do not have a clergy-laity system
They don't follow worldly standards
Bible says that they will be hated and persecuted by everyone, even to the point of imprisonment, who are those today?

Only Jehovah's Witnesses possesses all the characteristics of the true religion according to God's standards

It's a matter of chance.


The belief begins or continues or ceases to exist in you accidentally.


What a person gives as a reason why he/she keeps believing or stops believing is only a manifestation of the presence or absence of the belief.



Can you assist me financially?


I have been passing through certain things.

Same illustration applies to religion, in God's eyes, there's only one religion but the others lead to destruction but since all claim to worship God, what will help one to find the true religion? He does not have to study every religion, he must allow God to guide him and the only guidance is in God's word, the Bible

The Bible says that God's people honor God's name, who are doing so today?
God's people have deep love for one another above other things and they won't go to war but promote peace? Who are doing so today?
God's people preach and teach the good news of God's kingdom and not some human government. Who are doing so today?
God's people promote Bible truths and not philosophy or human tradition like immortality of soul, hellfire, image and ancestor worship, who are doing so today?
God's people are politically neutral, who are those today?
God's people honor God's word
They put faith in Jesus Christ
The true religion do not have a clergy-laity system
They don't follow worldly standards
Bible says that they will be hated and persecuted by everyone, even to the point of imprisonment, who are those today?

Only Jehovah's Witnesses possesses all the characteristics of the true religion according to God's standards
Thanks for your story. But at the same time you're not the targeted audience

I'm curious. How did your belief fade over time?

Was religion a thing you'd only turn to in times of trouble?
Long story mate.

Atheists are kinda scarce here i think.
Well probably also in nigeria. I would love it if we're you know more organized as a group. We've only got humanist society of Nigeria for now

Don't you think it's better using this energy to convince other christians you're real christians than trying to you know have meaningless discussions with atheists?

We are SEARCHING for THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL! Matthew 10:6

These are individuals who have interest in the origin of life and they're willing to give it all when they finds it!

We know they can be found anywhere so don't think we (JWs) are interested in fruitless arguments rather we are searching for people who love GOD. smiley

That last statement alone is enough to tell that the OP knows nothing about Jesus Christ or his true disciples the REAL CHRISTIANS! smiley
