I've experienced a similar situation.. i wasn't born a Christian. my parents converted to Christianity when i was still very young nd i was brainwashed.. i became a dogma... i lived like that all my life until i had a question about tithes and i referred to nairaland religious section.i learned the truth about the false teaching and decided to find out which other teachings of today's church z wrong. I was a pentecostal. i began to reason things and dogmatism started wearing off.. i began to do research and found out the truth about most things. now I'm a free soul. i don't belong to any church or denomination in particular. i follow Jesus tho.. if at the end my works fail me will my faith save me?... I'll just have to wait to find out |

"I'm not an atheist and I don't want to be. I don't want to be anything, I just want to live my life!" Great words up there!^^^ But trust me bro, life for your kind can be frustrating in Nigeria. It will get to a point where you wouldn't give a damn anymore. So far our every aspect of our life is roped around religion, then, atheists, agnostics must speak up. Living life in denial of who you really are is not living in the real sense. |

Belief in God is the greatest test In our lives. Which if one Fails will be doomed for life... I believe we were not created smart enough to Understand our Creator(God).Be Humble and believe in God. |

Readwarn: What if your earthly father hides himself from you from birth and different people start coming to you as your father and you are meant to choose only one of them? Does it make sense in the part of your father to cast you into fire for failing the test? Well... Such father is none else than satan(yahweh). He will condemn only his children to fire, a good reason why you should cease serving the devil because your life is at risk.

doobyScoo:It is a normal feeling, and so with regards to your personal revelation of Jesus. Everyone is pushed by experience : Peter when Chrust was crucified, went back to fishing but when he had the pentecost experience, he never went to that fishing...... Paul who was Saul was a threath to the faith, but when he Experienced Jesus, he became a pillar.... Etc. These were due to deliberate quest by them (Know that Saul had a personal development, outside the damascus encounter.... Phill 3 vs 10).... You have to have an encounter. But the question you might ask is how do i have it?..... Its a thing of devotion and meditating on the policy statement of Jesus and You have received Christ, yes. But you need the HolyGhost.... That will enable you focus on the way of Christ, by that, you are changed (2 corinthians 3 vs 18) |

doobyScoo: You are young both in age and faith, and you might be feeling the effects of spending much time on an atheist section paraded as a religion section. If you have noticed the comments of atheists here, they are welcoming you and even asking you to speak out, even though you've claimed not to be an atheists. You need to understand that you cant be on your own as you've claimed, atheists understand this too. You are either on the inside or on the outside. As a matter of fact there are 2 sides to life or even everything. Light and darkness, good and evil, truth and err and ultimately life and death. There is a contention between both sides and we can attest to this even in reality. One good reason why you cant be left alone is because you dont exist by yourself. Being born to a christian family does not mean anything, 5 alter calls do not mean anything either. It is a deep realization of the truth that matters, you can only acheive this by searching, even if it leads you to answers that may make you unsatisfied. As for your ideas on hell, i dont think we can wish it away, if we do, it does not change anything. If I, or any other human were to write the bible, I can bet we would scrap the idea of hell and paint a picture of an all loving God devoid of wrath and Justice. I struggled with this ideas too at a time, infact most of my extended families are muslims. Ive tried talking to them about truth of the Gospel, its the only thing i can do. To get people to do anything all over the world, you must be willing to first introduce it to them. Your opinions or mine wont change anything. We may not even understand it. But wishing it away just to live in a short delusion is illogical. C.S. Lewis said "If you are concerned about your loved ones that won't be in Heaven, the most irrational thing you could do if you are truly concerned about those on the outside is to remain outside yourself." If you will stand a chance of helping people on the outside, you must be on the inside first. PM me, lets discuss better. 1 Like |

taurus25: Because they do ! Why open a new account and rush to tell a story about how you questioned your faith in God , just like that . Would you feel threatened if more people become atheists everyday? Nope . I mean factually , the number of nonreligious people including atheists by 2050 globally is expected to drop by 3 percent - from 16 to 13 percent - while Christianity is expected to increase by 35 percent . So logically , the puerile skulduggery by atheists in a faceless forum shouldn't bother me . You see ? 1 Like |

hopefulLandlord: According to the dictionary , fact means information used as evidence or as part of a report or news article. So its simply an extrapolation of already known information . The article clearly stated facts used to buttress the extrapolation made by Pew Research . 1 Like |
