raptex: Other than one of my sisters, none of my family members knows the extent of it. All they know is I'm not religious and have never been. My sister who knows is irreligious too, I think she's agnostic but we haven't spoken about it in that much detail. My family members are generally not so religious so I don't think I'll ever have to tell them the real deal. My friends don't know the extent either, except for three of them, two of whom happen to be evangelical Christians who won't let me be unaffiliated in peace so I had to spell it out for them. To their credit they took it in stride and now pray that God will touch my heart some day (they have not accepted that God is not the same as Jehovah). The third friend is something of a humanist and from a Muslim background. He tries to create the impression that he is a practising Muslim, for the sake of his political career, according to him. We exchange looks of understanding from time to time. All my girlfriends have been aware and it has never been an issue for them. From time to time the issue comes up and I have to re-explain how I can get by without believing in any deity but that's about it. I haven't dated any very religious person so I guess that has helped. 1 Like |

I think i realised i was an atheist during my first year in the polytechnic. I told my sister, who told my elder bro, who in turn told my parents. Dad was always indifferent towards religion but mum still believes god has a plan and i'd come back to him soon. It's been 7 years though. Lol 2 Likes |

hopefulLandlord: fine tuning argument is not stupid, it calls for further investigation - It could be an intelligent being / intelligent beings, infinite force or whatever. Don't tell me it happened by accident because the probability is zero 1 Like |
Re: A Question For All Atheists On Nairaland by hopefulLandlord: 1:27pm On Jun 10, 2018 |
beatmonster:I've obviously addressed this part in my post, do well to read it again What made you come to this conclusion? even proponents of fine tuning would say its highly improbable, they'll never say its "zero" But I'm not even concerned about whether the universe is fine tuned or not, I'm more concerned about where the argument leads after accepting it, what they conjure to explain what they say fine tuned it; an entity that exists in a place where no fine tuning is needed for it to exist who then creates fine tuned universe for its intelligent creation to exist who wouldn't have existed otherwise? sounds like a very stupid argument to me In the other paragraph I explained that fine tuning argument is even more stupid when one takes into cognizance the entity they claim is responsible, an entity that can do anything anyhow and get any result from it so fine tuning actually points to NO god because the entity they're talking about could've made the earth 5,000 times hotter and could still make it support life of intelligent beings if he wanted Most of these arguments theists bring up are created simply to box one around and give up when arguing against, they want you to be focused on the argument rather than where it leads so once you accept their argument you'd realise it heads nowhere Anyways, to each its own I guess and if you find it convincing be my guest 1 Like |

hopefulLandlord: Yes that "entity" could have but he chose this option. Or do you also claim that such an entity wouldn't be able to have a choice? What this fine tuned universe speaks of is simply a much larger scientific balancing of the universe. What we see is simply science on a much larger scale which brought about the fine tuning of the universe. His rules, his choices. Your opinions yet cannot change it. Suck it up. |

hopefulLandlord: you know, sometimes I wonder why it is important to both the supposedly fine tuner and believers why we should accept the universe was fine tuned. What purpose does this serve? why is the finer tuner who is arrogant enough bot to show himself bothered with us believeing that he, despite never been seen, believe he somehow fine tuned our universe? I cannot help but imagine a jobless clueless unrealistic fine tuner 2 Likes |

dalaman: Ogbeni stop quoting me and get back to work you are doing FOC oh ye antagonistic spokesperson for a God you say does not exist. A mentally Ill person is someone who claims something does not exist and despite this claim, still constantly talks and nags about this non existent thing round the clock. That is a person who has mental health issues. Its a psychological disorder known as extreme dissociation disorder. Look it up. 2 Likes |

Butterflyleo: Not when you always come up to tell us that your imaginations are real. We will always be here to tell you that they aren't. You just told us that you are the spokes person of the creator of the universe, something you just imagined out of your head. I am just here to let you know that your imaginations should remain yours alone. When you come to a public forum to keep telling us about your imaginations we won't let you be. We all always remind you that you are imagining things. You don't know how the universe came about, FACT You don't know who is responsible for it FACT You only imagine that something you were indoctrinated with created it and you also imagine you are it's spokes person, FACT You are self confessed mentally ill person, FACT Give me reasons why you should be taken seriously? A self confessed mentally ill person saying he is the spokesman of the creator of the universe who he said is a HE. Well done , continue. 5 Likes |

Butterflyleo: According to you atheist say God is nothing, you acknowledge the atheist for that position but you are still insisting that I am working for nothing, and that nothing loves a cheerful giver. What kind of mental illness are you suffering from? |
Re: A Question For All Atheists On Nairaland by Butterflyleo: 4:45pm On Jun 10, 2018 |

Re: A Question For All Atheists On Nairaland by dalaman: 5:18pm On Jun 10, 2018 |
Butterflyleo: You've started with your lies, I've never said that God is a killer, how can an imaginary thing kill? Many people have challenged me to insult God and see if he doesn't kill me, I've done that and nothing happened. I've only said that God as depicted in stories is a killer, selfish and craves worship according to how he was depicted in stories, it is how God is depicted in stories that I talk about. Your failure to understand that remains your problem, your deliberate attempt to spin it shows that you are a liar. Your imaginations keeps telling you nonsense. From telling you that you are the spokesman for an imaginary God whom you claim is the creator of the universe to telling me that I am the spokesman for nothingness. |
Re: A Question For All Atheists On Nairaland by Butterflyleo: 5:21pm On Jun 10, 2018 |

Re: A Question For All Atheists On Nairaland by Butterflyleo: 5:27pm On Jun 10, 2018 |
Dalaman you are a spokesman for a God you say does not exist. For something not to exist means it was NEVER there to begin with. If indeed it was never there that makes it NOTHING, EMPTINESS, VACUUM, BLANK. You however cannot stop yourself from constantly speaking against this nothingness, emptiness, vacuum and non existent God. Yet you continue deceiving yourself he does not exist. How can something not exist and you subconsciously go against your own claim by regularly nagging and complaining about that non existent thing. Your brain dey shrink abi e dey on strike for the past 8 years you have been on this matter? Dude wake up and realise you have extreme dissociation disorder. A severe mental illness.
