Any kids? Just checking out stuff that could tie you down in case you wanna leave.

Yes you might consider leaving for the sake of your life and sanity.

BTW, have you tried knowing Jesus personally?

And what has the bold got to do with anything. Didn't you read where he said they are Muslims.? If he is struggling with accepting God existence despite his Islamic background, is it Christianity with its many contradictions, lack of genuine spirituality and excessive focus on worldly material wealth that will provide him clarity?

Guy used to be a Muslim and now he felt religion is a waste of time, you are there asking if he knows Jesus personally. Do you know Jesus personally or you know him based on stories you read?

Bro, I am not trying to change her religious views. Why will I even change her beliefs when no one changed mine ? I got inspired through reading books, asking questions and being open minded. All I actually want from her is to see me as a free thinker while I see her as a Muslim. I think that should not be difficult to do ? But she is uncomfortable seeing me as irreligious. I really love her and really scared of losing her on religious grounds

Can I pm you

mainanalyst:
Yes, there are kids.
Try to know Jesus ? By reading the book of talking snakes ? Truth is , if most of you take your time to read the contradictions in the holy books of Abrahamic religions (Islam, Christian, Judaism) , you will get to realise that they are just fairy tales.
That's why most developed countries have removed religious subjects from their curriculum and changed with it subjects on morality.

How Do I Convince My Wife?


Hi everyone, I will try not to make this post a lengthy one.

I was born into a Muslim family and raised as a muslim. My wife met me as a practicing Muslim way back 2005 when we were both undergraduate in one of Nigeria's federal Universities. Recently, i started losing interest in religion, started seeing it as a source of division among humans ( like Muslims attacking Christians and vice versa). The idea of people burning in hell and some people enjoying in paradise makes no sense to me if God is really loving as claimed by theists.

But my wife is not comfortable with my religious views, infact she has started seeing me as hellbound ( don't blame her though, a true Muslim hardly marry from other religions talkless of marrying a freethinker like me ). I can see that the love she has for me is gradually reducing simply because I chose not to hold any religious views. I have no problem with her religious views, sometimes when she is far asleep, I will wake her up in the morning to observe her solat.

How do I make her understand that I can be a good husband to her without having any religious beliefs ?
The only thing she reads about are stuffs pertaining to Islam, she hardly read about science or other non religious topics. She is one of the people who believes that no human can be morally upright without having the fear of God or subscribe to religious ideas.


Just of recent, I thought of leaving Nigeria to any western country so as to be able to live my life peacefully without anyone questioning my religious views or tag me as an infidel. But I can't just leave everything behind just because my woman is not comfortable with my religious views and has been quarrelling with me on it.

How do I make her live with me peacefully without her feeling uncomfortable? Has anyone experienced this before ? How did you manage the situation ?

In addition I want to ask adherents of both faith, what if you go to heaven and discover that the other religion was the preferred religion and not yours?

Nigerians might claim to be tolerant people. But religious people have become increasingly intolerant of free thinkers and traditional religion subscribers. I wonder if we all read the same religious book.

No society without free thinkers succeeds. Funny that ardent religious people cannot do without inventions of free thinkers like the Chinese and Westerners. From church owned TV stations/Broadcast to IPhone.

My Christian faith tells me to love my neighbour as myself. It didn't say my neighbour must be a Christian.

@Op,
it is obvious your wife would not have married you back then as you are now. She feels duped in a way. You may not need to continue your religious practice even if less strictly than before. It is your religion from birth after all.
Human interpretation of religion may not be perfect but hold on to the positives you find in it.

Jonra:
Don't be deceived. You're looking for answers aren't you?

A worldview!?

Please note that completeness of any answer out there must fulfill questions about our Origins, the Meaning of Life, Morality and Life after death (Destiny).

Happy hunting!

Hahaha

You won't believe the large number of minions that proclaim they know Jesus personally, if I tell you.

People can be so foolish.

Knowing someone you don't know personally, personally?!

Hahaha

Fools.
