Christianity Etc › Re: My Atheism And Its Effect On My Mum! by sample042(m): 1:30pm On Jan 06, 2014 |
[quote author=Okija_juju][b]I guess you are left with only one choice... PRETEND IN FRONT OF HER..In my case, I was born into a Christian home, raised a Christian, my Dad became a pastor at some point, I also later became "born again" and started preaching and doing all that Christian stuff until one day... I slept woke up and read the bible and it all just stopped making any sense to me.. The more I tried, the less sense it made. I contacted a pastor and had a discussion that turned into a debate. He ended up telling me I was possessed by a demon..  prayer started to feel really silly to me, speaking in tongues started sounded like lunacy. In fact, everything just fell apart.. I was not influenced by friends or anything, I arrived here on my own. Now my mum has basically given up on me.. My dad would not talk about it. My siblings are indifferent. My wife is neither for it nor does she stress me about it. So all I do is go to church with my Dad whenever I visit. (b)I avoid religious conversations with them or around them.(/b) I pray with them and do whatever's it is that pleases them. (b)The fact that I am who I am does not mean I can't respect their feelings and way of life. None of us really know the answers to life..(/b) I love dis MOST in d thread. So my guy, pretend when around them. That's my advice. Thank me later.. The gods are wise..[/b][/quote]I dont wnt 2 praise U bt i must say dat I envy ur sense of enchantment n civilizd mode of life. Guess u must be a brilliant man. |

Well, I didn't intend 2 create enemity wit dis topic rather 2 call d attention of Africans n Nigerians in order.
When i was a kid, my mum do tel me 2 have a RETHINK whenevr people praises me cos it could either be a praise of GLORIFICATION or a praise of CAJOLE/MOCKERY. This simply means dat we should think twice on our view towards religion. Imagine the ancient Greeks, Romans n even d almighty Israel dat we'r mainly following hv no trace in d top religious nations(37percent of Israelites are either aetheists or agnostics)... frm Wikipedia (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Israel). Am nt sayn we shld abandon religion bt we should worship with our brain being at alert n not like flocks without FOCUS. I dont see any changes with this type of religious mentality we are havn. Like MJ in heal d world; we are d 1 to mk dis continent a better place 2 be.
Let's have a rethink towards RELIGION...BIKO! |
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Is Africa The Most Religious Continent Yet The Most Undeveloped??? by sample042(op): 11:55am On Dec 31, 2013 |
Gombs: Because Africa is not poor, but Africans has a mentality of poverty... they love money so so much that it has corrupted their minds, and caused them to be wicked.... u see why we need preach the Gospel of Christ everywhere?
Democracy is a good thing, but Africa was not ready for it as at the time it came. Most of the folks in Africa then were illiterate and peasants, and the little educated ones took the whole continent for selfish and evil desires. The Electorate were massively mislead because they knew nothing about anything...and that seed of corruption n wickedness was sown, generations after took up from where their Fathers left off, till it got to a stage where evil was considered good in Africa... wars over nothing nothing, liberia, congo, Sierra Leone, guines, somalia, angola, rwanda, etc... and the rest of the world watched Africa destroy herself....but that was before the gospel was fully out as it is today...if we had the gospel of Christ then as we had today...Africa would have been greater..but the bible says "hope maketh not ashamed- hope does not put us to shame (`Romans 5v5)"...Through prayers and intercession, Africa is rising and the world is watching...Nigeria is springing forth... # Glooooooooooooooooray
The glory of Africa shall be seen as the waters cover the sea
Praise God forever. Op, calm down and rather get on ur knees and pray....if u are an atheist, well...quit whinning and cause a big bang in Africa or an evolution....
Goodnight joor keep in mind dt d OP is a xtain though not an extreme xtain like U. The Op considers wat's ryt 2 be ryt... Religion is really extreme in our country. The same bible we read condemn things in excess. I have only one advice for U; ...Once one becomes a man, he can and must make his own decisions but mind u even a good thing can become destructive if taken 2 EXCESS. by Brandon Sanderson The above also goes 2 my brothers n sisters who are religious fanatics, sentimentalists and bigots.

kulyie: Because many are fanatics and religiously intolerant.there is a wide difference between religion and fanatism.
Fanaticsm is illitercy,ignorance and misguided zeal mixed with religion.many africans fall into this category
while religion broadens your spiritual horizons,helps you to tolerate and respect contrary beliefs,ideals,religions and ways of thinking.religion teaches you when to stop sorry, i misunderstood u b4. |
