I think most of you here don't know Zstranger, he is the most bigoted NL and always pop up on threads just to derail them. He has many user names like A-Z Stranger. So i suggest you guys just Ignore him and move ahead with your contributions on the subject matter. A lot of us here are enjoying your intellectual contribution on most topics. |

naijababe: Interesting! Thread says: what are atheists doing in the religion section? I said: There are no atheists in Nigeria And you think, I should be the first person to tell them what they claim to be? First of all, I dont know what atheism is? And since I dont know what it is, it therefore follows logically for me to assume that it does not exist The burden of proof is on our supposed Atheists to prove to me what they believe in? I feel like there is a scandal going on here; our atheists cant even tell us what they are |

zstranger: I think the atheism is self explanatory enough. You are postulating that there's more to it than the obvious. Since we are now duly informed of your superior knowledge of atheism, then it's only sensible that you educate us on the true meaning of atheism since you went ahead and told an atheist (Harakiri) he's ignorant of is own beliefs or lack thereof. FYI, Tai Solarin was not an atheist; he was a humanist. |

What a logic! If I don't know what it is then it cannot exist. Therefore only well defined and known things can exist. I actually like that . . . in a kind of twisted way. |

zstranger: Wow fascinating. zstranger does not know what atheism is therefore atheism and atheists do not exist. This makes me suspect that zstranger must therefore be God since we expect him/her to know everything. |

Pastor AIO: Whoa there Pastor AIO hold your horses. Unless you're also zstranger or zstranger is the real core of solipsism, you aren't the one who decides what exists, zstranger does. ![]() |

Do I exist? |

naijababe: Dont be too fast because a huge percentage of the stuff that we humans tend to be automatically sure of always turns out, totally wrong and deluded. That is why I have always respected Descartes since I first came across his famous phrase: Cogito ergo sum You are postulating that there's more to it than the obvious. Well, I have so far postulated nada! Since we are now duly informed of your superior knowledge of atheism, then it's only sensible that you educate us on the true meaning of atheism since you went ahead and told an atheist (Harakiri) he's ignorant of is own beliefs or lack thereof. My superior knowledge? Interesting? No one knows everything, and I sure do not know anything. And because I know that I know not is exactly why I think I am more clever than a lot of people ( minus You of course) on this forum! ![]() FYI, Tai Solarin was not an atheist; he was a humanist. Very profound and interesting. Tai Solarin is a humanist, but not an atheist! I just love the confidence and audacity. I love how we are always eager to label people and define what they are and what they are not. It is that certainty of though, that somehow we have higher insight and that our reality is automatically the only there is, is exactly why I am on this thread! ![]() |

zstranger: Voila, Everything cannot exist. I'm loving this more and more. |

^^^ A more rational mind, like my 5 yr old nephew here who cant stop laughing, would have interpreted my statement thus: I know something, but not everything. But eh, whatever fries your dodo |

zstranger:If your previous post below is not alluding to you knowing something we all don't know, then i must be suffering from comprehension this afternoon ![]()
I didn't label him a humanist, he labelled himself that. Unless you are going to say Tai Solarin didnt know what he was talking about either. |

naijababe: That explains it, I have always suspected PASTORAIO did not really exists, at one point I thought I had gone schitzo ![]() ![]() @zstranger. perhaps you unwittingly created a confusion string by making a bold statement that Atheists do not exist ( "Real Atheist", u could have stuck with that really) and in the same breath imply that you have zero knowledge of what the term represents (dissipating the force of your earlier statement -fair enough) You then proceed to demand proof that what does not exist must be explained to you by those who "claim" to be a representation of atheism. I think what you are trying to say is that True Atheists (at least the ones you know in Nigeria) are really apologists for atheism. am i close? ![]() |

@poster Why and what do you think you can call someone an athiest, is it because they dont comply with these days religiousn ninsense that is leading to no where, you see churches like 4 facing each other and still they they still commit the greatest sin , so religion is not the best way, for truthfulness but we can use our self phylisophy, Ok, dont blame anyone for being an athiest, do yuo know how many of us have been brainwashed by religion from the onset , Dogmatic believes that leads to no where, men , Bleep all this religion, especially muslim and christain.believe, as for me i am my own self religion and i belive in humanity and Love, free mind.Ok, dont be a fool pursuing God, problem if God above has any problem sef, Christain cast and bind, from day 1 too eternity yet noting happend, ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Atheism, agnosticism, mysticism and even illuminati are all religion on their own. Even if followers don't believe in anything, but believing in themselves suffice. |
Re: What Are Atheists Doing In The Religion Section Of Nairaland? by thehomer: 6:22pm On Jun 07, 2011 |
zstranger: Then why did you claim that if you do not know something, then it does not exist? |
Re: What Are Atheists Doing In The Religion Section Of Nairaland? by thehomer: 6:24pm On Jun 07, 2011 |
Koolking: How on earth are they religions? So solipsism and nihilism are religions? Please what concept of religion are you using? |
Re: What Are Atheists Doing In The Religion Section Of Nairaland? by Koolking(m): 12:18pm On Jun 08, 2011 |
thehomer: Maybe your own definition of religion and mind are different. To me, religion is your 'believe' and that's just what gives you satisfaction and fulfillment. |
Re: What Are Atheists Doing In The Religion Section Of Nairaland? by thehomer: 6:16pm On Jun 08, 2011 |
Koolking: So whatever a person believes is their religion? I would advice you to go through this thread before you continue making such outrageous claims. |
Re: What Are Atheists Doing In The Religion Section Of Nairaland? by PastorAIO: 6:20pm On Jun 08, 2011 |
Koolking: That makes the purpose of this thread obsolete. Since Atheism is a belief and belief is religion then Atheists have every right to be in the religion section. |
