I think it shouldn't be a thing

HappyPagan:

alright, are you on twitter?
Lordreed, anyone?

LordReed:
I am so ecstatic this morning, my 4 year old says in a musing tone, the Earth is a colourful moon. It's such a thoughtful observation from a child. I am so glad because we watch science vids together and this means she is beginning to think about the nature of our universe and make her own deductions. I am so happy about this development.

JeromeBlack:



Aww. Children are soo innocent.

LordReed:
Yay! Today marks one year of my liberation from bad ideas and ancient fables. I am so happy!

HappyPagan:

Wow..it's been just a year? Wouldn't have known from your posts.

Mine was December 2011. Logicboy was a part of it. First frenemy I made on NL.

Wow! I thought you’ve been a non believer from birth

LordReed:


LoL! What makes my posts seem like I have been a long time unbeliever?

hakeem4:

Well the way you’ve been attacking believers as if you’ve never been one

LordReed:


Ok I can see how that may give the impression. I made a clean break from religion so while I can sympathise with the indoctrinated, I have no sympathy for the terrible ideas. I'm somewhat angry at myself for believing them for so long so it's kind of cathartic to shout out against them.

HappyPagan:

For me, Christianity was supposed to be from cradle to the grave. All the schools I went to made us say the grace and sing praises everyday. All. Up to university. It meant most of my friends and social circle shared same beliefs.

I had to go off social media when I started having doubts. Surprisingly, it was my closest friends whose attacks hurts most.

"you don travel out na, you wan leave Jesus"
"Na visa make you think you say you be white man"
"Nna, this India wey you go, dem program your head for there o.."


Losing my faith was a long slow painful process. Worth it. There's a whole world outside the walls of the Bible.. I felt born again.

JeromeBlack:


I swear some people can be very annoying in their ignorance. Comment like that can make someone weak out of frustration.

LordReed:


Someone said to me in a Facebook comment "this is a sign of depression. Hope you don't have sniper with you" to the fact that I had the audacity to declare that a god is not in evidence. And doubles down when told how insensitive their comment is.

JeromeBlack:


That is why I dont post on social media when it comes to atheism. Your close pals can frustrate you.

But on nairaland and reddit, iyalaya any religious fool that comes my way. I will blast them to oblivion with logic.

cheliejelie:
atheist and proud. Christianity has ruined Africa.

LordReed:


LoL! Funny enough none of the people I have interacted with one on one on this subject has been nasty, even when it gets somewhat heated. They've expressed understanding and some level of empathy. I find that many people have doubts but they just can't make the leap to the conclusion that the evidence does not support the existence of a god. The idea of god's love is too comforting or its wrath too scary for them to contemplate breaking from the idea of god.

BTW what's your reddit handle mine is same as on here.

JeromeBlack:


I cant tell you my reddit handle. I have been to subs that will give people nightmares.

Islam is the largest religion in the world and it has the most convincing traits. We have seen a lot of people embracing Islam in the current time in almost every region of the world. We must have to play our role in order to spread the message of Islam with other people.
