Dapo777: Its quite simple.What people feel about you should not bother you.Nigeria is a secular country and we all have the right to hold on to our beliefs. Your belief makes you a brand and you need not be afraid. The easiest way to explain to people about your status as an atheist is to approach media com,optimum exposures or S.O & U Saatchi & Saatchi. They are advertising agencies that have vacant billboards all over Nigeria.These agencies will pass the message across on your behalf with your picture on their billboards with a mind blowing advert. |

Religion really isn't a disease,humans really are,Islam,traditionalist's,Christians,atheists and the likes!!!!!!u choose what you wanna believe in and stick to it,u owe no one an explanation neither should u shove ur believes down pples throats,am a christian but with the mindset of an atheist,d main reason I ain't one is cuz I beleive a creator is out there,ma views about life is way different,seems the op is just a kid with no vast view about life,u sleeping off in church,lack of a sound motivation to serve God doesnt make u an atheist,but if u think u are then whats the essence of this thread?shove ur believe down ur ass and give pple a breather,be it christians,muslims,atheists or whatever religion u believe in,its ur damn choice and y"al need to learn ao to bottle up ur opinion n beleives,this silly attitude of ma believe is superior to yours is the cause of d religious wars and backwardness out there!And yes there is a GOD out there! |

mencade5:yes! I admit and testify that some unfaithful futilized christians seek empowerment from other obnoxious and paradoxical sources! But, you forgot that there must be presciented reprobates present amongst any congregation. Even king Saul consulted with the spirits of the dead via the aid of a seer in the Bible. The perception is: there are always geniue and contrary christains in any dispensation. Elucidate and decipher God's Word properly and you will be delighted and astonished by God's progidious, awesome, omni and miscellanous deeds. |

freecocoa: That's because I remember when u created a thread asking for a meaningful conversations with atheist, I remember telling you that if you continue with what you are doing that you would lose your faith just like I did, now you see that I was right. I don't know if you remember , but your reply was like I shouldn't worry that you can never stop believing, I was just laughing, that was what I was thinking before that I can never lose my belief, now you have joined the train. Now this is just funny. |

Dapo777: To me I would tell you to be careful with those you tell in this country. Some people are demons with fine face. We just hear people die in the news, and our ever clueless policemen would say they are looking into the matter. You should only discuss with theists with open mind. That way, you are somewhat secured. Always protect your rear. 1 Like 1 Share |

kevoh:The bolded is just one of the few benefits of religion... Probably because we are in a religious society where 99.99% believe in a sky daddy. You don't have to rubbed you atheism views on others, Just play along and discuss it with only logical people. You never know who can be useful to you in future, you don't wanna pissed them off with your atheism ideology. Nigerians takes religion very seriously.... 4 Likes |

KashyBaby: No. There is nothing in disrespecting other people's view when you try to convince them about their beliefs. If your logics are stronger and outweigh his and he accepts it, then you have one more individual in your fold. Disrespect is when you castigate him for being who or what he is... |

Well just going through your post , you really caught my attention by it, but if I may ask what do you believe in cos dere is a sayinng dat what you believe works for you. I can tall u dat am a full christian a strong one at dat and believe me it has always worked for me and as a matter of fact it has become my weapon of success so wat do u belive in ? What works for you ?dere must be something or do u believe in yourself I know u r among those that believe in there selves. From your post it is very clear that you come from a christian foundation and you r still a student yet u accept money from a christian (parent) if u really believe in yourself then u should'nt take any assistance from a christian b it your father or mother cos dat person caring for you is doing dat base one the commandment and teachings from the Holy bible which you call story book so mr I believe IN MYSELF I believe you are above 18 so you should start working out for yourself , then you can confidently open your mouth in public and tell someone that is by your making and power so for now I will advice you shut up Dekatron: |

Good evening,I know how you feel.You see, in this world we live in I have discovered faith and logic are like two parallel line they will never meet or concur but I am very sure that in your lifetime you want to be recognized and respected where ever you go.Logic alone will make you a ''professor'', people will stigmatise you, some people will even call you a devil worshipper, it may even cause you depression and I am very sure you don't want this for yourself and also having faith alone will make you a dogmatic person, a person who has a good surface brain but can't use it to think, I person who can't contribute to the real word, a man who can't use his brain to bless man kind. Having the both boom, you have everything in the world Dapo. And on the matter that church activities don't make any element of sense to you. Why don't you decide in your heart that I want to learn new thing,I want to know how other mankind feel about this world we all live in ,i will like you to prepare you mind to learn the new topic in algebra or the new metabolic pathway for the next lecture. I have encountered so many atheist in my life, what I discovered about them is that they say they don't believe in God but they are. not ready to here what you have to say,it is so bad that saying other thing apart from having faith once you picking you word from the Bible they lose interest. I am Christian but I know the value of knowledge. I know that value of new things, I go to Muslim public lectures, I am in love with adventure book,when I am true with the semester I attend distance learning philosophy classes. Dapo you don't need to believe in God to go to church as I am not a Muslim and I do attend Muslim public lectures. You just find a good church and attend. I tell you there is much more enlightenment and exposure you get in church apart from the worship, you just go with a recipient mind. As too if there is God or not, if there is the World Maker or not. let me give you this analogy.You are a tourist from Europe or let exagerate from another planet and you see this big building called central bank of Nigeria your logic will tell you there is a builder,this analogous to this world we are in,to the effect of of this there is builder who must be very great mighty power self sufficient supreme builder that built this magnificent structure called World. About stigma,I will never stigmatize any Atheist I know,I will never stigmatize or contend with them I will rather love them and continue to pray for them. So Dapo I will never stigmatize you for know reason because I love really. Thanks |

Dapo777: Dapo777:/ By the way, this your piece of crap was not written in simple English. I think you need God more. If not for anything, to give you wisdom. If after years in school this is how best you can communicate your problem(s), then you sure do need miracles in your brain. \ |

chiefolododo: Omg you got me!!! I lost someone so dear to me, so I believe a sky daddy killed her, that means sky daddy doesn't exist because only a non existence sky daddy can kill someone so dear to me !!! Eureka!!! Perfect logic!!!! Yes I also asked sky daddy to make me not to gain admission into the university so as to prove to me that he exist, fortunately sky daddy couldn't stop me from gaining admission, now I am begging sky daddy to prove to me he exist by making sure I don't get first class, let's see how well sky daddy would prove his existence as he did during Elisha's god vs Baal . |
