Atheist; Can You Go Back To Religion? by kay29000(m): 12:31pm On Sep 07, 2012
First of all, let me state that I am not an evil person or anything, i just don't believe there is a man in the sky. I have read extensively, and have done enough research to know that what actually causes answered prayers is the believe, and not in what is believed in...those who understand know what i am talking about. So, i was on twitter yesterday, and this On Air Presenter from Top FM, Tosyn, said that she once was an Atheist, but now she has found God.

So, it got me thinking. I think maybe that word "Atheist" is thrown around too lightly. People don't get me when i say i am non-religious. They see me as a rebel. Like there is a God, and I have chosen to rebel against him. But the fact is that there is no God...there is no man in the sky. People have just been brainwashed to believe that. And I don't want to argue with any religious person, because it will just be a waste of time.

So, to the atheist in the house, can you go back to religion?

VERY ODD QUESTION. atheism is a religion. religion simply means 'dedication'. this is like asking RELIGION CAN YOU GO BACK TO RELIGION.

Yeah, it's becoming a religion because they focus so much on criticising God! If they do not believe in His existence, why criticise? Again I have never seen an atheistic thread on Nairaland criticising Satan or Satanism, doesn't that mean they're working for him? gringrin

Oh they are definitely working for satan. scripture says MATTHEW 12 VS 30 "The person who isn't with me is against me, and the person who isn't gathering with me is scattering. THERE ARE TWO SIDES. THE LORD OR SATAN. IF YOU AINT WITH THE LORD YOU ARE WORKING FOR SATAN. cheesy lots of satans on NL cheesy

What i mean is organised religion. Atheism is not an organised religion. Atheist don't meet aywhere, and they don't have any agenda to take over the world or anything. They might be angered at the delusion of religious people, and say some harsh words, but atheist don't gather anywhere to plan anything. I don't know why it is so hard for people to understand this. Like Tai Solarin said- the christian and his god is like a drunkard holding on to a light pole. I don't hate anyone, i don't have any agenda, i just know there is no heaven or hell, or no God or satan, and the fact that a lot of people hold on to this is what vexes me.

An atheist is like a sober person in a car filled with drunkards.

i have noted, on your concepts on religion expecially the christian one. note you have repeated twice in your above post,
the bolded "man in the sky". your post clearly proves that christianity has sought and almost suceeded in killing the very concept of religion and spirituality with their very crude and backward conceptualization of Supernatural Forces.

this has today become embedded in most peoples minds and people think all religions are the same that believe in some old baboon up there in the sky. again there is the usual discrimination against Traditional Pagan faiths where our concepts of intangible spiritual driving forces are just stepped upon or just ignored. . *sigh

It is highly unlikely that I'll be able to go be religious. Information available on the history of religions, critical thinking, scientific information and human psychology make it highly unlikely for me.

Re: Atheist; Can You Go Back To Religion? by dekung(m): 4:03pm On Sep 07, 2012
NO. I can't. My stand as being non-religious has been made known to everyone close to me and they have tried to preach to me. The good thing is that a lot of them, especialy those that Matter, still love me as their friend, brother, son, husband and father. I cannot change back to religion now because I know so much about the lies and inconsistency of religion that going back will be plain stupid.

So does it mean the any group of people who gather together just because they have common line of thought are a religious group? If thats the case then rotary club, lions club, oxfarm etc are religious organisation. You religious people try to drag us into your delusion claiming atheism is a religion. Is any form of belief system religion? I believe I have to greet my father every morning, Is that religion too? I believe whenever I eat Eba or Akpu I will be satisfied does it mean I religious towards eba. You guys should kindly just accepted that we are irreligious cos we do not believe in You sky daddy.

Bricklayer thinking. Is Satan not a creation of GOD? You attack THE CHRISTIAN GOD, you attack everything THAT COMES WITH IT. GOD not SATAN is the central character in the BIBLE. Stop being so childish..

YOU HEARD RIGHT. but only the ones who got shipped their in slavery. DEUTERONOMY 28 VS 68 And the LORD shall bring thee into slavery again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for slave men and slave women, and no man shall save you.

The problem is you quote the wrong verse.
This is the verse that proves the US are the REAL jews.
Leviticus 25:44
Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves.

Please read the Scriptures with understanding.

yes the heathen nations around you. america is a heathen nation so in those days slaves would have been gotten from the heathens in america. this is a case of the slave becoming the master.

ecclesiastes 10 vs 7 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth. basically the lord set the slaves ( EDOMITES ) up over the masters ( ISRAELITES ) and then the slaves took their former masters as slaves.
DANIEL 4 VS 17 This sentence is by the decree of the angelic watchers And the decision is a command of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind, And bestows it on whom He wishes And sets over it the lowliest of men.

1 CORINTHIANS 1 VS 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
