hahn: Exactly, sir, I'm sitting on the fence. Honestly, most atheist online are intolerable. They condemn everything except themselves. I've met smart ones too. |

deeoh: About Russell, who's the guy? I ll search about him though. I am confused I know, that's why I mentioned I'm still "seeking". I don't understand what you meant by hypocracies but personally, religion, especially christianity as never hurt me. Thank for your contribution bro |

johnydon22: I asked a question that I think I have an answer to, I may not be right though. The topic is just to draw attention, cause anything atheism is a hotcake on this forum. You know you can never stop learning. |

[color=] So why did I ask what kind of atheist I am? Even as an agnostic I can stand God being insulted. I dislike it when people make joke about God. Sometimes I speak [I wouldn't say pray because I don't] and just casually add "in the name of Jesus" and it happens except the ones I hoped I get to see a bag full of money abandoned but I loved the hope it gives when I add it to my wishful thinking. I love the concept of having a God, and I love the bible. Some verses can guide your daily lives, truth is most might be hard to adhere to but its good. I love the concept of heaven and I choose not to believe in hell I'm still seeking because I want to find. In conclusion, I sometime ask myself is my agnostic tendencies false or am I unconsciously a christian or just an unconvinced atheist. We'll, I just love the fact that I don't have to be in church.

My dad is a pastor, and its safe to say I grew up with a strong christian background. We had a church and I was never interested in the whole church razzmatazz, this was probably based on my person, as I don't like being in a crowd for too long or so I thought. After I finished my secondary education, for some reasons, mainly educational, I had to separate from my parents. Just like every other people I have always prayed and hoped for certain things which never came to pass, and for that reason I stopped believing in the existence of God, took it a step further when I stopped going to church. I was living everyday as it came, and believed I would have to work for whatever I desired. I've always known that a person who doesn't believe in a supreme being is an atheist, I played with the dictionary a lot when I was much younger and I learnt that word unconsciously. Due to my religious upbringing I could not actually deny the existence of God completely and at the same time I was flirting with atheism. In my mind, I just wanted proof to my doubts. I consistently seek answers. Until about 3 years ago I came across the word "Agnosticism" and it clicked - This is who I am. An Agnostic is a person who is not sure whether or not God exists or who believes that we cannot know whether God exist or not. Can also mean someone who continuously seek to find answers to God's existence. 3 Likes 1 Share |

•PROLOG• He woke up feeling not to well. He had a premonition about this happening the day before but didn't pay too much attention. He'd been nonchalant bout a lot of things and his well-being is one of them. Now he's battling a full blown illness. Toni got up from the bed hoping it was a nightmare, sitting upright and trying to raise a leg, he knew if he didn't act fast this might take him down for a few days. Amidst force, he got up and went straight to the table where he kept his stuff, ransacked the poor desk and got a paracetamol tablet for himself. He swallowed and gulped it down with a cup of water he had kept on the table the night before after dinner. He went straight to bed. »CHAPTER 1 Toni woke up at exactly 2pm, feeling better. He had planned to meet with Danielle earlier in the morning but that was not to be. He did forgot about the meeting with Danielle after his bout with the ache otherwise he would have risk going to meet with her. He'd do anything for Danielle. Toni Harrison Daniels is a son of a rich businessman based in the posh part of the city. He is in his early 20s and recently done with his compulsory NYSC. He pleaded with his father to give him more time before he could resume to work. His father, Mr Daniels has reserved a plum position for him in one of his three companies. Feeling energised after a mock press up to rid himself of his weakness, he reached for his phone and the notification changed his mood. Danielle had called three time and had left a voice mail for him. She later texted telling him not to worry about it again. Danielle Richards had been friends with Toni since they where class mates in senior class. She had just relocated to nigeria after her parents wanted her to get used to her country of origin. When she was through with her secondary education she decided to stay behind and studied in a university. She finished her NYSC recently and preparing to go abroad to further her studies. Toni and Danielle had planned to meet today in other for him to accompany her for shopping for cloth for her friends birthday which was suppose to be the next day. With toni as her date. Though he wad unaware of this. |

Hi guys, I fell in love with reading a long time ago but lately I've been getting this urge to start writing as a hobby and for fun. So I woke up this morning I drafted this on my notepad. What do you think about it? Where should I improve on? I intend writing stories on Nairaland, your contributions are appreciated. |
