What kind of terrible English is this

Why not just type in pidgin?

Or in her native language, I'm sure a good Samaritan will help her translate it. See word like baby language.

As much as I would really love to watch it, I no get charge for phone, data too cost, I no get gen nor power bank and above all, time no dey. The next guy might be able to help your ministry

Being aCareer woman is a scam, they will turn u into the wife if peradventure one mistakenly marries one. Ask yourself, are u gonna b the one to take care of the domestic chores, children as well as other stuffs at home. Well, only a weakling, wuss and the pusillanimous delves into such.

LordReed:


You are under no obligation to be religious or to tell anybody that you no longer believe. As someone already pointed out it is the consequences of your actions you must weigh and judge if you have the capacity to deal with those consequences. I started to tell my family when I was good and ready because I was certain that I could deal with the consequences so far the worst that has happened is my sister shouting " You will go to hell!". Meanwhile we all still laugh and play like before because they realise that I haven't become a demon just because I no longer believe but then again we don't live in the same house so you really need to judge based on your own circumstances. The other day my mum asked me anoint and pray for her (I haven't told her), I did and didn't burst into flames. Don't be hard on yourself over this, it is mostly for people's comfort the things they believe, you can grant them on occasion, it does no harm to you at least.

oops! I forgot to mention, my late dad was a pastor and they wanted me to fill the void he left, most of his colleagues came to me on a one on one telling me the same thing: ranging from fasting praying, going to mountain and all those rites associated with religion. Seriously, I feel like running away cuz I'm kinda self sufficient but my MOM is really the issue here. Its really crazy bro.

SUCKABLE88:
It is obvious you guys just want a shouting contest since you can't disprove the Fact that 'Man is better with God than without God.'
For the record Christians are not the only rich people but they are the richest, they are not the only intelligent group but they are the most intelligent(highest Nobel laureates) #fact
My Advice: Seek God for real wisdom that stands the test of time.

@ OP God bless you, comfort you and open your eyes to his understanding..

I could see that you guys have deviated from the discourse but I feel what you're personally trying to do is appeal to authority...

SUCKABLE88:

Bros I'm not saying you should be a Christian. Just know you have nothing to fear, you actually have more to benefit.

It's like I'm deceiving myself bro, I've been there before, this is really killing me inside.

HardMirror:
see, the choice of what to do is left to you. Everything is at a cost. Pretending is at a cost known only to you, coming out and telling them u dont believe in their religion and cant participate is also at a cost. Count the cost and choose what would benefit you most

this is exactly the conflict I'm going through. It's really crazy.

aaronson:
Another Atheist perspective here.

Your belief or non belief shouldn't get in the way of compassion and love. Love is the basis of family hence it wouldn't take nothing out of you to makes sacrifices for those that you love as long as you not being civil disobedient in the process.

Put your belief aside, do what you were told to do, it doesn't matter if you have a different view about it so long as what you being told to do isn't immoral, go on ahead and do it for the sake of family ties. Before starting though, let them know you not to vast in that type of religious activity, but do it and intentionally make mistakes, no one will hold you to it since you atleast tried, you might be relieved of that role but obey first. I was once in your shoes but in a different context, feigning ignorance works.

Thanks for your contribution, I have a really huge urge to start going to church and also doing the Christian rites but deep inside of me, I know I will feel some kind of hollow/chasm cuz when I was a Christan, things were just meaningless to me, I have a lot of unanswered questions. Even when asked sometimes, I get the most ridiculous and meaningless answers. I really felt some inner peace and a sense of comfort when I turned. It even made me a better person, I stopped judging people, I started loving myself and I realized I am really putting others into my shoes before I act on something. This is why I find it really hard to do that.
I'm really going crazy

To start with, I'm from a family of eight, the only male and five sisters. My dad died recently and the burial was held some few days ago and almost every member of the extended family was present.
Here is where the problem lies, I don't believe in the existence of God and I've been like that for seven years now when I found no evidence for his existence. My mom kinda knows I don't really care about religion but doesn't know i don't believe in God. I'm having a conflict with myself right now and It's really driving me crazy no doubt I love my mom but this I'm going through is really killing me inside. Seems its me against the world.
Now everyone wants me to lead the morning devotion, wants me to start holding vigils and night prayer. To cap it all, what most of them are saying is "if you want this woman to live long, you have to accept Jesus and be prayerful you have to do this u have to do that. I really feel what they are trying to do 8s manipulate me emotionally but at the same time my mum.
So folks, I'd seek for your perspective on this issue. Should I give in to this because of my mom or should I Discard all what they're saying because of myself?
