Dear Nigerian Atheist,
What are online nicknames across different platforms? What made you choose those online nicknames? What is the story behind the names, and how do they reflect or reinforce your value orientation as an atheist, agnostic or non-religious? Your response will provide data for an ongoing research project I am carrying out on the functions of Nigerian atheists' online nickname practices.

My alias predates my deconstruction. It's a call to the Star Wars movie franchise.

I resemble atheist for your face? I believe that Jehovah and Allah are currently held in a spiritual cage, rather than dismissing their existence. So how am I an atheist?

Not an atheist(as a few on your list) but don't mind been called one, as I try to stay away from labels but if I were to identify myself it would simply be non - religious. That said, my username precedes my non - religiousness. Obviously it's a play on a religious name but I formed it way back when I wanted a name to go with a new gun I had in COD black ops 2, had already named the gun morning star earlier on, so i thought my COD username should go with it, hence my username. L8r on used it for my acc on here.

No offense whatsoever brother, but I always read it as LordWeed.

One day many years ago when I was a baby lawyer I was sitting in a hotel room in Calabar as I had gone for a case there. The power went off for a while and I was sitting in the dark. It was intensely dark, there was nothing to see no matter how one tried to adjust to the darkness. In those moments I had a few thoughts that stayed with me. The first was that I wanted my life to have deep meaning. Another one was that I wanted to see deeply into things seemingly covered in the dark. I have always loved ruminating on the meaning of life and philosophy. So "DeepSight" just came naturally when I registered here years ago.

I am no atheist. But I don't think anyone can decipher this existence and I think that is deliberate.

Anyone who has a clue about the size of the observable physical universe alone will know at once that humans should never presume to know jack.

DeepSight:

LoLz. None taken. In a sense reeds are weeds.

Nice one.

As far the bolded...

Arrogance won't let many accept that obvious limitation.

They seem to believe the little they know explains all there is in existence.

Which cage, and who arrested and locked them up?

You sound like our old boy Otem. Where that old man go hide sef?

I read the history of Otem and keyed into it.

I mean as in marijuana. Because you get strong mind.


Just kidding.

geoworldedu:

Are you sure you are not Otem using a different moniker?

geoworldedu:

Oh... Beautiful

Been like ages I heard of him. Last time was before we were shifted into this dimension of loonies... 😆

This ancestor is not an atheist, neither could he be accused of any affiliation with any religious organization.

My moniker is just me telling people how I feel about myself.

That simple, not much thought put into it.

What do you mean by dimension of loonies?

geoworldedu:
What do you mean by dimension of loonies?

Don't you feel as if the atmosphere is different from say like even 5-10yrs ago?

There's some kinda spirit today, maybe I wasn't paying much attention before hence it has that make like a deprave craziness spreading now that I pay too much attention...

It's all crazy matters...

Lols.

Skepticism is not atheism.

"Neoteny" means the retention of juvenile traits into adulthood.

During my high school days i was called Neo or Neoteny because i was an immature goofball who loved pranks and practical jokes.

And I do retain some of my childhood in me because the age of innocence is when we were at our best, when we knew nothing about the hearts of men, the chaos of the universe, the ways of gods, and the question "what is, what am" remained an unknown.

So, yeah. That's about my moniker.

I'm not an atheist. I'm a Fulani Muslim, but like any sentient being, I harbor inner skepticism about the nature of nature. Pondering and doubting and asking for proof is not disbelief. It's curiosity towards understanding.

Cogito, ergo sum.

So u r an agnostic,maybe?

jaephoenix:

Yup.

Neoteny:
Lols.

Skepticism is not atheism.

Neoteny is the retention of juvenile traits into adulthood. It acts as a major evolutionary mechanism that allows species to develop unique physical features and behavioral traits over time.

DeepSight:
Yup.

Agnosticism is more honest and scientific but why I tilted towards atheism is this. Let me use an analogy.
Do you believe that unicorns exist?
Now if you say no,why then are you open to evidence about their existence?
Another analogy is this....In court,when there are no evidence of someone committing a crime,do you dismiss the case or remand the person til evidence is gotten? I believe you're a lawyer like you alluded,so think about this one
