Quality threads are getting drowned out as the obsessed atheists continue to spam the religion section with tired worthless recycled topics.

I propose we give the atheists their own child board so they can scream and bash a God they don't believe exists. Let them have their own space to share and vent their anger and frustration, hold hands and sing kumbaya without disturbance from us christians or muslims.

Oga AKO what say ye?

I agree. Its becoming a bore coming here . . . the old christian threads to discuss issues on doctrine are no more . . . all we have are rants and rants and more rants. Infact the religion section is no more than a breeding ground for the misguided and blind followers of the new secular religion. I wont hold my breath that your request will be granted though . . .

Lol I doubt they'd be singing Kumbaya

wont maake any difference dauda nackson is always on our threads asking the same old tired questions hes always been asking

no cure for crusading obsessions. you'll just have to deal with it

I think the problem you have is that you'd rather hide your own lies and fraud.

We all know why atheists concenterate of Christianity.
They know that's where the power is
everyother god na so so ye ye
The devil himself knows that and his agents agree as demonstrated on the threads

not to worry, you'd rather do the same as well. . .

so why do the christians concentrate on Islam. . .
abi they also know where the power is?

I have no desire to 'cure' them. Just direct them to their own cave where they can work out their issues without disrupting the rest of the religion forum.

Exactly. For people who don't believe in God they sure spend a lotta time and exert a lotta energy on Him.

Yup true. I don't mind if they want to insult and abuse God from morn till noon . . . just let them go to their own space/board and do it. The Religion forum is close to worthless now becos of these spammers.

oyb:

The bible has been open for centuries, you've there's nothing to hide.

This is basically a call for segregation.

Why don't we have a conservative, liberal, capitalist sections in the politics section.

I would leave you guys with these quotes

[center]War on Christians
Atheists are as interested in Christmas as Christians
are interested in Ramadan or Diwali or Buddha's Tooth Day - which is not at all.
Atheists are not at war with Christmas;
They are indifferent to Christmas.
But to believers, indifference feels like war.

The first reaction to human difference is usually conversion or extermination.
The second reaction is segregation.
Only the last reaction is toleration.[/center]


It's obvious what's going on here.  Man's need to quarantine people considered different or threatening. You wonder why there was no objection when No2Atheism/Sysuser was spamming the board with his threads.

bawomolo, i didnt see you cry when the muslims fought (and threatened) to have their way. Christianity by itself is a call to separation, you do not wish to read our book, do not wish to acknowledge Jesus and yet you feel bad about "segregation"?

I dont understand your post.

I didn't support the move, Seun already made up his mind thanks to the infamous fatwah. This shows how doomed Nigeria is if we have to be separate each other on an internet forum. I won't oppose an Atheist section. If he majority wants it, you would get it.

bawomolo, answer me this question - can atheists not exist without christianity?

Fear

Just like war, giving the Atheist their own section isn’t going to solve anything.  

why

Christians are going to go over in the Athiest section to argue
Athiests are going to go over in the Christian section to argue
Vice versa with the Muslim and Christian Sections

It's obvious, we cannot see the connection between human love and God, so my take on separation. . . . , Blah!!

1love

 Bawo christians and atheists have been peacefully "co-existing" in the religion forum until more recently when they started spamming the boards and posting repetitive topics, never sticking around to 'discuss' a thread. The majority of threads in the religion forum are rants and insults, ususally void of substance.

  I have no problem with atheists, I have a problem with the way they're spamming the religion board with their personal rants and frustrations . . .  psychologists exist for problems like that.

davidylan:

Yes it can, Atheism appeared in hindu writing during the 16th century.  Some of the greek philosophers were Atheists or Doubting thomas's.  Buddhism is an atheistic offshoot (or heretic deviation) of Hinduism.  Don't get too cocky.


Yeah we sure are scared, Tai Solarin was very scared of Islam. puhlease

   True. But it will solve the problem of 'thread flow' which is my whole point and keep the place more organized. As it is now, quality topics in the religion forum are getting drowned out.

The Religion and Romance forums would cease to exist if people stop posting rants, insults or things void of substance.  Religion is a touchy subject, what's considered heretic and insulting to you could be the basis of another man's belief.  Some people on NL have comments on African traditional religions that would be considered insulting by an Ifa practitioner.  We atheists are called dunces, clueless buffoon, ignorant, and agents of the devil (but hey that's fine and not a rant) .


If the reaction of Christians and Muslims to differences is a quarantine, that shows why there is religious violence in places like Nigeria and Sudan.  I have no problem with an Atheist section if that would settle the wahala.  Why be an unwelcomed visitor

so why do the christians concentrate on Islam. . .
abi they also know where the power is?  

@oyb,
We would have never bothered about you lot if you practised your religion without the lies you spew about Christians and the Bible and narrowed down your killings amongst yourselves.
I wouldn't have cared just like I don't care about Hindus and Sikhs.
They are not a global menace but you are.

Our very lives are at risk from Islam that's why we warn others.
Do you have an idea how many Christians and Muslims have gained some knowledge of Islam and Mohammed by our threads ?
Some forumites including myself had no clue Mohammed was a pedophile until Nairaland
The first thread I participated in here was the Da Vinci thread (3 years ago)  and there was a guy m4malik ,a former Muslim that opened my eyes.

  I have been on NL and in the Religion forum for yrs and you're right controvery drives the section, but things have changed drastically most recently. Now its just a few people with too much time on their hands spamming the entire place - this is what I have issue with.

  Common now, don't play the victim card. I can post 5 threads within the last hour that calls christians and christianity stupid, nonsense, idiots, bloodthirsty, perverted etc . . . every side gets insulted. That's not what I'm speaking against, I would just like to see the spam gone or at least toned down.

If the reaction of Christians and Muslims to differences is a quarantine, that shows why there is religion violence in places like Nigeria and Sudan.  I have no problem with an Atheist section if that would settle the wahala. Why be an unwelcomed visitor

 
  You miss my point Bawo. I'm not crying quarantine becos christianity is under attack _{what else is new}. I would like to see a seperation becos the religion forum is a mess! plain and simple.

Common now, don't play the victim card.

i'm not playing the victim card, i take it like i dish it.  Do you honestly think i care if someone says am going to hell or the agent of satan? lol

  You miss my point Bawo. I'm not crying quarantine becos christianity is under attack what else is new. [b]I would like to see a seperation becos the religion forum is a mess![b] plain and simple.

I wonder where was these call for change when OLADEEGBU and NO2ATHEISM/SysUser were making their threads.  Catholics and protestants attack each other endlessly on here but i see no one crying for a Catholic section.  This is a classic case of blame the minority for causing disorder.  You begin to wonder what's the point of posting here if people think you are afraid or can only be atheist because of christianity. WTF

personally, i have no problem with an Atheist section.  All i know is separation would bring the eventual demise of this section.

  You continue to miss the point . . .

  Yes but there is substance to the discussions and the threads on the same topics don't total more than 1 or 2 at a time. Ola and No2 have not been spamming the religion board! I am not saying atheists should not open topics but they open, rant and abandon, open, rant and abandon.

  We have at least 10 topics opened by the same people, ranting on the same issues and this is drowning out other topics in the section. The section was fine and healthy and popping before the ranters arrived, it will still be alive when they leave.

Why not a separate section for seventh day Adventist?, a separate section for  the Jehovah's witnesses?,a separate section for The Mormons?,a separate section for The Pentecostals?, a separate section for The Protestants?,a separate section for The Baptists?,a separate section for  The Orthodox and a separate section for the Catholic Church, etc, etc, .
Christians on Nairaland are all competing against one another. There are Christians on Nairaland who are from the same churches who are of the same denomination, in the same town, the same diocese, which mean they have the same beliefs and worship the same God. Yet, they never come together on Nairaland. What is so ironic is that these churchgoers all feel that Nairaland is the place for unification and love.
We Africans must stop allowing ourselves to be broken down. You Christians are broken up into all kinds of Stupid Splinter groups battling against each other over who's Religion is the right way of life. When you get into Christianity,you have The seventh day Adventist,  the Jehovah's witnesses,The Mormons,The Pentecostals, The Protestants, The Baptists, The Orthodox and the Catholic Church, etc, etc,  And guess what, All of this has been set up to Divide you in mind. And to this point it has worked! Overstand that the power of US Africans coming together Mentally can and will affect the world. But our differences must be put aside for an Agenda that will uplift us all. Not just a select few.

why not ask the mods to merge or delete threads then? ban posters that make repetitive threads? i've seem many are Catholic christian threads but somehow no one is screaming for a Catholic board.

there is no room for unification when you believe to have the truth and the other person is wrong. There isn't a middle ground in Universal religions like Christianity or Islam. A atheist section is fine with me.

Bawo, Lemme also add that there are a few atheists on NL that I like very much and enjoy discussing with them. They are level headed and easy-going. Unfortunately the fanatic riff raffs that are the ones spamming the boards with junk.

  I would actually be in total support of that versus a clean seperation. AKO is not around much so I guess he can't do that effectively. and I'm sure it gets tricky for him to moderate. When a few of huxleys thread were deleted he went and opened a few more threads asking why his posts were deleted     go figure.

That's a good idea. I say they should do it. I mean, if nothing else, that will allow all the many other important threads not started by atheists to be seen and enjoyed. Wait, what?

But really, I think it's a good idea.

KAG, you are of the 'few' in this quote:

Hey, if most people agree with the Atheist Section, then why not. It's up to Seun to do it.

I'm no fan of huxley's persistence either.

christians don't want a taste of their own medicine eh   ? davidylan and osisi what are you guys always doing on the islamic thread thou hypocrites?

doing what you're afraid to do.
