TheSourcerer: Socerer, you need to look deep into yourself first and be satisfied with your own belief. Don't convert the poor boy to atheist just because you are probably an anti - theist. I would like to tell you it's not rare for Nigerians to listen to such. I have listened to it so many times and it's still on my playlist. Don't try to twist the message of the song making it look like the song is preaching the believe in atheism. Go back, sit down and understand the song. Dax is simply voicing out his observations about religion in the world to God like any person tired of the religious system in the world. But that doesn't mean he never believed in God. Take note believe in God is not the same as believe in a religion. My point is this, don't wrongfully twist the message of Dax in an attempt to convert the poor boy to atheist. This is the last 2 statements of Dax in the lyrics: I just hope that you know that I'm still a believer So I'll end this all by saying, "Amen" It's Dax. I hope u understand this. Thanks. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

I know LordReed, my point is that they feel so butt hurt when a theist becomes Atheists, but don't get mad converting Atheists to Theists , but yeah sure whatever Reed, They should find light themselves NB, he decided to follow his parents Religion ,which brings me to the conclusion that these beigns are biologically incapable of mentally constructing a scene without God , ignorance is bliss indeed 3 Likes |

TheSourcerer: Bad conclusion. You eventually constructed a scenario without a god didn't you, you should accept that other people can do the same even if they currently are not. And be sure that people will make the connection, some will take longer than others. |

TheSourcerer:you did well. Hell fire will be an interesting place, because it will house brave and intelligent people . Paradise will be a sh!t hole, because it will house weak and/or unintelligent fellow. Many people are religious because of the fear of hell. They also did not agree with some of the things in their scripture. But they think they would go to hell if they disbelief . If you don't go to Christian hell, you will go to Muslim hell, or other hells . 9 Likes 2 Shares |

TheSourcerer:"Against trying to convert one", Sourcerer? See how you inserted your own opinion and belief into what I wrote? That is what you should be trying to convert one from doing, if anything at all, because it shows a distortion in seeing and understanding, and some will say, is religious. |

lord Reed and his "find themselves", honestly that statement pisses me of. no offence. the very reason people are dumbfounded concerning religion is because the religious folks are actively participating in converting people. they apply every tool available to them. they catch the innocent minds from childhood and continue to feed them more doses of the religious drugs. you, my dear self discovered friend, didn't discover shit without doing research from someone else's work. what do you think that person is doing? he wrote books to store in his library? No.. jesus didn't sit his ass and say "let them find " themselves. you too were converted by preachings from people who were taught by others nd so on.. what method did you use that wasn't taught by someone long before you? is it not the likes of fredrick Nietzsche, lebeinz, newton, einstein, etc that have converted us to what we are now?if Nietzsche had kept his knowledge to himself, I'm pretty sure you would be in waking up now to do morning devotion. With this mindset of yours- "let them find" themselves, I think we in Africa would continue to enjoy being at the bottom of the food chain with regards to development. Dont forget, not every one is of the same capacity to self-reflect. you keep saying "you found yourself", I would like to know how? was it logic? did you not also get taught by the author of the books you've read? did you not come across people's opinion that was different and opposing to the religious norm? thesourcerer, abeg continue the evangelism. if you stop, of course another preacher would take him. But It does back fire though as i have observed. so thread with caution and dont be like i have who has lost a Good sum of "students"... if we sit down and fold hands like lordreed suggests then we'd be over runned, they would come to houses and burn us at the stake. history is a good teacher nd I suggest lord Reed should revisit his history book. how can we not March on the streets and give the less priviledge, another option? isn't that why we are forced to school? so that we can be converted from being dumb to a little less dumb? hmm? 7 Likes 1 Share |

success97:take a look at the bolded lordreed, when the a curious kid starts to question religion then boom.. another means is devise to keep him inside. "Christianity is not a religion, it's a relationship".. personally, I dont mind ppl being religious. if there collective behaviour is not affecting me and economy then good and fine. but that is not what we have is it, on one war front we are fighting the mohammedans who are more aggressive towards their religious beliefs nd the other hand the Christian's, whom believe sowing 5000naira every month would foster economic splendor.. come on mehn. what happens when they become world power? would you submit to religious authorities nd have your wife nd daughter walk in the hi-jab? or would you prefer to confess that "jesus christ is your lord and personal saviour?" lol. imagine a lord Reed, having another lord... reminds me of a passage from king David. "and the Lord said to my lord" hahahahah 5 Likes 1 Share |
