I was wondering how and why 12 people instantly shared my article on What Jesus Christ Taught Me About Advertising and Brand Management - See more at:http://www.nigeriansreport.com/2014/11/what-jesus-christ-taught-me-about.html#sthash.n1mjvW7P.dpuf But the number 12 soon disappeared on the LinkedIn share button! You know our Lord and Messiah Jesus Christ had 12 Apostles. And 12 is a significant number in the Holy Bible. GOD IS WATCHING US O! |

I am an atheist and I am open. All my family and friends know. However, I try to avoid discussions related to religion (especially with Nigerians) because no good can come out of it. Most will see you as a lost soul and are not open to alternative views. 12 Likes |

I shove it into peoples faces just as they me. i always enjoy the feeling of shock and disappointment and fear i get from people when i tell them i don't believe in God and add that if he were smarter than the average joe, i might even hazard the thought. I let my beliefs hang-out.. e.g I made a few t-shirts with the inscription F@#uck u GOD. I am an atheist and I wear it on weekends, especially around Shoprite Ikeja. I won't try that with Allah though, they could easily dump their human costumes to reveal the rabid animals they truly are.. so i am careful, you don't want a rabies epidermic in crowded Lagos.. sambisa forest maybe 22 Likes 3 Shares |

My sisters be like 'you don't talk like someone that was dedicated in the church, what's wrong with you?" And I'm like "Nothing's wrong with me, I'm only asking questions and trying to reason ni" I'm not an atheist btw, I just don't understand many of the religious stuff, they seriously need to keep their stories straight, these days, I try so hard not to get into religious topics, they always give me the "you are doomed" look, even when I know they are planning on committing 'sin' after the discussion,so I leave them to their business. I do go to church sometimes though . 14 Likes 1 Share |

Most people who proffess beliefs in God ,studies have shown do so reflextively. In certain circumstances their faith is shaken terribly.The Godly believe dont give a hoot there is God o in his or her immediate course of action Afterwards they would quickly fall back in line dogmatically because that is the right thing to do And then blame satan. Conclusion; almost everyone, strictly speaking, is guilty at one moment or the other of atheism. 4 Likes |

I wouldn’t advice any atheist in this part of the world, and at this period, to be open about it, especially if the atheist’s socio-economic and or political support structure are strongly influenced by religion, it could make getting the simplest tasks, especially those requiring cooperation, into the most complicated of challenges. I must confess one thing though, I don’t exactly see myself as an atheist in the sense the lay man considers it to be, that is one who professes that there is no God. I’ve never made that claim anywhere before and I’m not making such a claim even now. For one to say there is no God, I think you’d have to have prove, else do not feel offended if you’re referred to as an idiot when you make such an unverifiable claim. I however see the other side the same way too, if you say or claim there is a God somewhere out there, then you’d just have to prove it, or accept whatever ridicule you receive in response to your claim. I don’t think the fact that I do not consider the contents of the leading holy books, especially as regards history, as non-factual, makes me an atheist, but then again maybe it does, after all, it’s all in the way you look at it, no? Again, maybe I am, and maybe I’m not. The truth is we’re all atheists, agnostics, theists and what have you, towards one belief or the other, no one is exempted. A muslim is an unbeliever to a Christian, likewise a christian is an unbeliever (Kaffir) to a muslim. An Ifa practitioner is an unbeliever to both the christian and the muslim. 10 Likes |

This thread reminds me my days of atheism,never agreed with anyone about things of God Never knew I had a spiritual problem which I always refuse to accept its reality whenever it occurs,always looking for a physical excuse to hold onto when ever it manifest Till it got to a stage I could no longer disregard,I had to run for my dear life,I ran to mountain of fire for back up The truth of this matter be say,I'll never blame any atheist because I used to be one,I only see them now as people who never had any encounter with anything spiritual,although some of them do but refuse to accept it like I used to 5 Likes 1 Share |
