Open your eyes and look around you, look beyond the ills but His creatures and get inspired, don't let lies!! Creep into your being and snatch your conviction..mind you it isn't about religion....it is HIS awesome presence, it's a state you see your self in not a tittle 'of being a Christian' or 'religious' it's well with you

I dont judge atheists cause I believe he/she must ve a reason for being one.


I cant marry an atheist cause I believe in God and its important to me I marry someone who doesnt just believe in the existence of God but also God fearing because thats the foundation I want my family to be built on and also we get to encourage each other in our faith esp during travails.


I'm sorry about the loss of your brother and I know you feel cause I too ve felt and asked same questions BUT I remembered so many other things ve asked God for that he did even the ones I didnt ask and I knew that God is Mystery, faithful and his ways are not the ways of man. Maybe it was your brother's appointed time and according to christian doctrine each man has it own appointed time and would surely die.. Sometimes we dont need to ask questions, we just need to ve FAITH.


Even when Jesus was on earth there we still hungry and homeless people. To We God has given, we are expected to give and help those who are less privledged just like the Story of Lazarus and the Rich man from the bible. Its God's own way to create a balance amongst his creation IMO.

Christianity is surrounded by mysteries which the human mind cannot comprehend. I laugh when people become atheist just to get their questions answered funny enough they get confused the more.

Blaqsmith:

Not all atheist ladies are good. She might be religious, Buh she is very kind-hearted. I just think she's playing her dogmas here. When his pastors say atheists are devils and wicked people and he believed them? How would she look at me?
thanks for ur advice anyway.

prinsam30:



pls don't mind the OP, he is a confused fellow, he believes so much in LOVE but doesn't believe who the LOVE really is...


He has forgotten that God Is LOVE

Blaqsmith:

Thanks. But I just wanted to be free. I've been a prisoner of my own conscience deceiving her all along. She deserves to know the truth.

But why can't you date an atheist?
Why do you think dating theist is a better choice?
Where is your God when I lost my brother after fervent prayers?
What is your God doing to help the homeless and hungry children on the streets?

Blaqsmith:

It's like u don't get me bro. I don't need any god. Show me the god and I'd still damn him and his f*cking hell. I just wanna be free.

I don't debate about one who calls himself almighty and can't even say "Hi"

It seizes to be love if he has to change his beliefs to win her, let her go if she can't accept you for who you are and what you believe

Blaqsmith:

believe me, I'm at peace with my conscience and self dropping the beliefs rubbish. I'm free.

HardMirror:

I have been in your shoes.
You have 3 choices, get an atheist to marry , get someone who does not care about your religion (met many ladies like that willing to marry an atheist even tho they are christians) or pretend to be a christian, get married and withdraw from religious activities gradually after.
Believe me, if you are a good husband she won't let you go.
I have about 2 ex girlfriends that know I am an atheist they are scared of getting married to me because atheism seems so strange to them, but yet they don't want to let go.

cloudgoddess:
I am truly sad to read this.

One of the worst aspects of religion is the disgusting and unnecessary divisiveness it causes between people who would otherwise be perfectly compatible. The deep brainwashing that religion requires to thrive makes people believe they truly can not be with a "non-(insert your favorite brand of dogma here)" and experience lasting love and happiness.

What they don't realize is that the ONLY difference between them and an atheist is that they've unquestioningly accepted lies disguised as truth, while the atheist has come to recognize the farce and call it what it is.

Every single feature that makes us human - our capacity to feel pain and joy, our desire for connection, our blood and veins and cellular machinery - is shared between a religious person and an atheist. The ONLY dividing agent here is stupid ideas that have persisted for far too long.

All I can say OP is that I'm genuinely sorry for your predicament. I'm sending compassion your way.

And to all the Christians in this thread basically shrugging and insinuating it's his fault, turn around and look at your "faith" and what it causes. Anything that thrives on division and "us vs. them" is very likely a LIE. Anything that has to be taken on faith rather than solid evidence is very likely a LIE. Anything that requires childhood indoctrination and brainwashing to succeed is very likely a LIE. You are happily watching relationships crumble over lies that you've been brainwashed with & have refused to examine critically. Clap for yourselves.

Now in ur mind u have made sense!! Oshisko

Miona:
@ OP; read Psalms 14 verse 1, and Psalms 53:1 then make your choice. I'll still suggest you stop seeking for approval from NLs, let her be and I pray that God will show Himself to you as He did to Saul renamed Paul (Acts 9:1-22)[color=#000099][/color]

matrix600:
I doubt no amount of videos can convince her, i'm also in the same situation as the OP, the girl i love just wont budge. She's scared of what people would say. It takes a questioning mind to step out of religion, if she's not the type then its impossible to win her over. My advice to the OP...do like i did.. Accept the possibility of not being with her, and dont hold anything against her, just be friends with her and not try to convince her. Let your light shine on its own into her life. Its the price you pay for being who you are, for freedom.
Why am I quoting davien?

Blaqsmith:

Part of it. But most importantly that there isn't evidence for his existence. Even if he exists, I still maintain he won't have my worship.

Yaksson:

the same place He was when His only son was being nailed to a cross, my friend, life don't turn out way we want it, for the fact that u loosed a loved one even after prayers doesn't mean God is not in existence, for the fact that "innocent" kids die daily in Syria and Africa doesn't mean God is not alive. Things are allowed to happen due to many facts;
1. God has given us free will to think and do as we please other wise we become like zombies.
2. The action of man brings about consequences which God in his greatness allows such men to bare them, after all men already have the knowledge of good and evil, so we know the kind of result our carelessness could cause but we go ahead anyway, then blame God for the outcome. e.g here in Africa, leaders know that investing in power and industrialize agriculture helps an economy, they go however for an easy pick- stealing public funds, allowing the children die of hunger, when God has blessed ur land with rainfall, resources, human labour, youths carry arms even when they know its wrong, they form militia against instituted authorities, stalling development and creating massive hunger and economic meltdown. So bro don't blame God for how the world is today, and dont say there is no God cos He allowed you to free will.
3. God is loving and if u come to him, you will find peace, but it doesn't mean u won't loose a love one or face difficulties, but u will understand how to go through such.
4. world is made up matter, matter are made up of atoms, atoms are made up of electrons+protons+neutrons, wat are the electrons or protons made of? who made them? how did they come into existence? was it by chance? why is it that atoms of one type of elements are exactly same with another same element even in a different part of the world but different from that of a different element next to it? then electron is negative due to its spin why is the proton positive? you think its all by chance? or a supreme being made them all?
5. Better believe in a God and even when u die and discover non, then you won't have missed any thing, than not to believe only to die and see that there is actually one.
6. are u a moral individual? I know its yes, you don't like little kids dying, u obviously don't like abortion, u have things u consider immorai. But wait, one wat standard did u judge ur morality, since there is no God is there any need to be moral, we can live a life of lawlessness and be like Hitler, yes Hitler was an atheist so he murdered a whole tribe of Jews cos he believes no God hence no judgment after death. we can all be like him, rape any girl u see pretty, kill any man who pose a threat to your fame or wealth, don't mind the laws of the land as if u obey man and keeps his laws, you will be inferior to humans, some say we are gods ourselves and need no God, why then should u obey a human god and put ur seat belts on while u drive? why will u consider abortion wrong, wat did u use to draw ur judgments? tradition or culture? cos that varies from one person to another so wat is moral to u might be immoral to me.
7. Lastly pls do make time and search for the truth, there is only one purpose in life, to fulfill the will of the one that brought you to this world, not your parents as they and the ones before them were all brought just like you were, but the maker of heaven and earth, and all that are in it.

Xtopher123:
Exactly things affecting me are Beng played out of recent on NL,

My Gal just got furious over night just cos I tld her I'm beginning to doubt the Existence of a Supreme Being.. but that won't change my decision anways

It's high time I moved on, I'm ready to drop anyone or anything that doesn't Fuel my drive after all my parents didn't disowne cos of my belief

Blaqsmith:

Thanks. But I just wanted to be free. I've been a prisoner of my own conscience deceiving her all along. She deserves to know the truth.

But why can't you date an atheist?
Why do you think dating theist is a better choice?
Where is your God when I lost my brother after fervent prayers?
What is your God doing to help the homeless and hungry children on the streets?

goodnewscliff:
seriouslyu ve typed Craps...... if u study and read about himan DNA, the PRECISENESS AND CORRECTNESS OF PLANET EARTH, ITS ORBIT ROUND THE SUN, THE SELF PROTECTIVE POWER OF THE EARTH FROM SPACE HAZARD LIKE METEORS AND ASTERIODS , THE SELF SUFFICIENCY OF EARTH , THE INSTINT OF SOME ANIMALS LIKE ANTS LIZARDS BIRDS, PHOTOSYNTHESIS, OXYGEN AND CARBON DIOXIDE CIRCLE, THE HUMAN BRAIN , THE SUN , DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF FOOD , ANIMALS ,TASTES..TO MENTION BUT SO FEW........U WOULD BE A FOOOLLLLLLL TO CONCLUDE THAT THERES NO GOD EVEN FROM THE THINGS HE HAS MADE

Blaqsmith:

Thanks bro. I just don't want it to b over between us. She's such a good girl with a good heart. Atheism just seem like evil to her. I told her to look at me and reconsider her stance. Atheists aren't all bad people just as Religious people aren't all good people.
I tried d option of deceiving her just to make her happy Buh my conscience won't let me rest

dankol:


My brother in unbelief.. I tire ooooooo... But then don't blame them. They are scared because of the indoctrination they received from birth.. It will take time for them to come to terms with it only if they choose to but like a typical African.. They wnt..

cloudgoddess:

I won't even go into the fallicies commited by assuming a creator due to complexity, yet.

First I want you to explain with evidence, how you know that this creator you just described is Yahweh and not Krishna, Zeus, Buddha, Obatala, Olorun, Amatsukami, Amadioha, or any of the other 3,000+ gods or deities that have ever been invented. Because for every single one of those gods, the people who worshipped them attributed the same feats to them, and NOT the creator you personally have been taught to worship.

Hell, how do you even know it was one creator and not multiple? Or a creator no human has ever accurately described?
