There are different kind of atheists, i believe God exists but not with any religion because I dont know what they up to, I and God have a relationship that no religion can match.

This is so laughable, if there were any evidence for christian beliefs they wouldn't need to stoop low to all these dramatic shenanigans. Like most "atheist" to christain "conversions" - not saying there are no real ones btw, they're not as common as these SM drama - the story and reason behind it is most times flimsy. It also usually contains nonsense positions an atheist would most likely never hold, just as this video.

You hear nonsensical takes like "I didn't have enough faith to be an atheist anymore", "I just hated god" - you hate what you don't believe in? "I couldn't continue believing something came from nothing" - an ignoramus on here spouted this one, "I just wanted to sin and do drugs" - what even is sin to one that holds no belief? "I just liked mistreating people" Like what... it's a caricature of what christains think an atheist view is so they spout the nonsense to make their conversion stories dramatic - this dude's even a poor actor.

You grew up in a christain home and got apathetic to the whole thing before coming back?! "I was an atheist" - certainly not an apatheist, you were a xtain but life's circumstances made you disillusioned with your beliefs so much so you hate the concept of god?! "I was an atheist" - certainly not a misotheist. So an "atheist" wakes up one morning and decides to "pretend to believe in a god" - what does that even mean?

Pretend to believe in which of the gods - why not ishtar or Vishnu? Did he throw a dart to pick one at random to play pretend or did he pick one of the dominant ones from his geographical location which just happened to be real after playing "pretend". No tangible evidence convinced said "atheist" of this particular god, save for nictotine addiction. Which he claimed was suddenly gone yet he had withdrawal effects with nightmares - Yhwh sent you nightmares to show he's real? Lol

Was already reading the bible for 3 months prior to playing pretend to believe in the god of the bible and just covieneintly had to record the process for social media. Had already chosen a god out of the many before playing pretend yet was an "atheist" - why not the Quran or Baghavad Gita. Then the most explicable thing it did to him that gave him evidence to convert was that it made him "kinder to strangers". There's a reason stuff like this is popular with a certain kind of people.

I wanted to reply someone but just loss interest. Most time I read or watch atheist conversation, it is always seems strange.

I was a Christian and the search to know more made me realize it is all nonsense, the more research in history and science lead me further away, how then do you expect me one day to wake up one day and pretend something exist that my full working mind understand it was made up.

Anyway you don't have to blame them, they classify Christians who had a fallout with their god and those where neither religious or atheist as atheist and when that person convert or find their way back to their old sef they sing their praises that and atheist gave his life to christ.

LordReed:
I go to church almost every Sunday so that means I am pretending god exists?

You try o, my mind can't swallow the nonsense coming out of their mouth for 30min.

I space out most of the time but sometimes they say something good like helping others.

TIME will TELL








Nobody go tell na GOD dey.

Why do you believe God exist through Jesus Christ?

Do you believe because your parents told you that without believing in Jesus you will go to hell or you have had personal encounters with Jesus to make you believe?

If you have had personal experiences, please can you share?

This is brilliant.
Thank you for saying what I couldn't.
It's just ridiculous.

It doesn't always turn out that way for other atheists who make similar attempts, including some here as depicted in the screenshot below.

The difference is perhaps the state of their hearts, because God looks at the heart, so if He already saw that they were not sincere in their hearts and therefore won't believe regardless, He won't even bother.

However God has shown overtime that He is willing to prove or reveal Himself to anyone who sincerely desires and seeks to know Him, as He did to this atheist turned believer.

So it's that sincerity of the heart that any atheist who really wants God to do the same for him needs.

Jeremiah 29:13 (KJV)

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

God bless.

It's just some bloke convincing themselves about whatever. What does that have to do with some God?

The problem with the screen shot below is that he was seeking God from others instead of seeking God by himself.

You are not an atheist by definition then.

Are you saying they are real or not? Make up your mind 😂

Fools say that there's no God, Keep deceiving yourself, time shall tell

MaxInDHouse:
The case of atheists is rare because there is no race on this planet where people living there never believe in any deity!

You dead wrong on that one where do you think the quote only a fool says their is no God in their heart comes from?

It shows men has always question the popular belief of the time though not many will have the strength to say it out cause it is death sentence.

Read throughout history you find few great men who dares to stand up for what they believe though it only happens in more liberal culture even at that it still comes with great risk to the power that be.

If we are to look outside of individual belief and to a whole people and culture, you will find very few because all human share single ancestry and as we spread we carry with us our believe system us and it is modified over time, however they are still handful of culture that does worship any deity such as the piraha people, even earliest stage of human evolution during the period where human where just practicing huntering and gathering, there where no archeological evidence to point to worship of a deity.

HydraFeeds:
Ignorant comment, America is not the standard of belief,even though I'm not an atheist,I started questioning the idea of God since I was little just from what I was taught in church without any prior foreign thinkers interference.

America is who sold atheism to everybody in the world.

Secondly, you are lying that you questioned the idea of God when you are small, it is not possible at all.

Unless your "small" means when you were in ss2 and it is not that you on your own accord did it. It is because an atheist sold it to you whether through novels if you are born in the 80's or movies and follow follow syndrome

LordReed:
You are not an atheist by definition then.

So, you see you are confirming what I always say, who atheists are, which is atheist are

1) people who truly do not believe in God because they are born in atheistic lands (Africans living in Africa are disqualified here)

2) people who refuse to believe God despite reasonable grounds to do so

Zealot or Fanatic: A person who is excessively, fanatically, or unreasonably enthusiastic and uncompromising in pursuit of their religious, political, or other ideals.

3) People who hate God (because God rejected them).

These are who atheist are

He was never an atheist lol.

Atheist Pretends God Is Real For 30 Days. See What Happens

Brain Guan, an atheist, decided to pretend God exists for 30 Days to see if it made any positive difference in his life.

On day 20, he said he was done pretending that "this shit is real dude. Jesus is real, Jesus is my Lord and savior"

Watch video:

This is not the place for such things especially as you have relations, friends, neighbours, classmates etc who can/could answer this for you

LordReed:
You insinuated it by claiming I am actually pretending. You can only say that if you claim the ability to read my mind.

The word pretend did not appear in the statement you responded to so here you are lying because this is not the statement you responded to. This was your response and my statement:

See how you have proven you are lying? See how you changed your mouth and post in your statements in bold.

First, you lied that you did use the word "pretend"
LordReed(m): 12:35pm On Aug 29
..Also you lied by claiming I used the word pretend when I didn't.

And now that I proved it, you are changing post to say "did not appear in the statement you responded to".

Again, you lied that "i claimed to to know your mind." Only to now turn around and confess, that you are the one who is "insinuating" and doing the insinuating.

So, you see, the thread shows you lying all the way exactly how atheists do when they are pinned.

It also means that many people have been discarded and rejected by God hence they became anti-God and atheist even back then.

Further, even today as it was in the days of old, people who stand up for thier beliefs in chastity and honesty and goodness have been even more aggressively attacked, ridiculed and murdered.

So, your point does not prevail

Who said he's not real he's real, if you want to know if God is real or not challenge him positively... I'm not a churchgoer but whenever I needs God's help he's always there to help me out.. I will never leave God and he will never forsake me

Lol ,as I've said earlier,you're making an ignorant comment and hasty conclusion about what/who you don't know .

I questioned the idea of God when I was kid (primary school),when I was taught that God is the father of Jesus ,in my "small" mind ,I was asking who's the father of God ,at least my father also have a father .

America didn't sell the idea of atheism to everybody because we have people like Tai solarin and Wole Soyinka here in Nigeria,if you say they're influenced by America ,I want you to know that there are several countries in the world like China and Russia etc that have more atheists or irreligious people than America ,and what your assertion is saying is that people of other countries don't have brain to think for themselves that Bible and Quran are false and there's a lot of loopholes in their God .

Dtruthspeaker:
You already do it for there isn't any one who has lived in this world who did not confess that when they look at this world and see all of nature, that there is no denying that He Who is called God, created them.

Very funny thing to say with all certainty in your chess except everyone who has lived has not confessed this, because there have always been atheists and people who interpret nature differently.
So my brother in in Lord I ask you
If nature is supposedly so beautiful and perfectly designed, why does nature also include earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, droughts, wildfires, diseases, parasites, and predators? In the wild, animals constantly hunt, kill, and devour one another just to survive. Everything from venomous snakes to crocodiles and parasites can kill you.

We romanticize “nature” from a safe distance. If nature is so wonderful and peaceful, why aren't we all abandoning our houses, hospitals, supermarkets, electricity, and cities to go live in the forest? Nature can certainly be beautiful, but beauty alone doesn't prove that it was created by God.

Don’t let anybody lie to you o. God is real.
You may find it difficult to connect the dots. Just take a step of faith.

Even SATAN is not an atheist. Got is real.

Dtruthspeaker:
Prove it.

lol. An atheist is someone who has already been a Christian. You cannot unsubscribe from something unless you are fed up with it. A true atheist, will never make this type of video. Someone who was in the matrix and eats a red pill can never go back to the matrix. A lie is a lie since you discovered the God in the Bible is a scam and a total super story. You can never ever go back to that shitty children's stories anymore

You atheists and lying are the same person as you forget that to sustain a lie you need a good memory.

So in your lying you forget that all of us here were once small like you and when we were small, we all saw that we were the same and had the same experiences, and so you cannot lie to us, for we are you classmates, neighbours and playmates.

For when you were small, you were first taught about God before you were taught about Jesus.

And it was only when it came to your mind or you heard from a classmate, neighbour etc that you asked about the Father of God. And when you told that God has no Father, you were satisfied and left it and returned to your business of fun and play.

So, asking this question does not count as questioning God.

Secondly, in the 80s, people were either Christians, Muslims or juju worshippers and it was only in the 90's as more people came out from the University that they even heard/knew the meaning of the word atheist. So Soyinka and Tai claiming atheist had no meaning to people cept that it means they are juju worshippers who say that they are not leaving their juju. Of which Soyinka has confirmed that he preferred juju over Christianity.

So, it was in the late 2000s, when American movies started openly advocating for atheism and atheists ideas, in addition to "i just got back from Americas/Europe" that people started to follow and worship atheism.
Even Nairaland old threads here shows the flow. So, you are talking rubbish

This is a fallacious response.

I did not say that there was no/never atheist or that people don't interpret differently. That is not the issue of contention, so this is Off Point.

Secondly, your questions about earthquakes and all is also Off Point.

So, you do not have a valid and reasonable counter

Tell me your personal encounter with Jesus to make you believe it's real.

Even the so called pastor can't answer.
