Lol, so you conveniently agree that there are "wannabes"? It suits your narrative, right. Be deceiving yourself and gullible people.
of cos there are wannabes. but the question i have been asking is there anything like an Atheist wannabe that also does not believe in god? simple. he claimed it is possible not to believe in god and yet be an atheist wannabe. his statement is contraictory. the only way an atheist wannabe can exist is for that atheist to actually believe in god but pretending to be an atheist. on the other hand the word christian means you are living christ like. so a christian wannabe can exist. even the all the christians posting here agree that fake christians exist. but it is impossible for a fake atheist to exist if that atheist actually does not believe in any god. shey una no go school ni that i have to be explaining so much something so basic?

You're the one that refused to understand his basic point which is similar to yours. There are many people forming atheism that simply don't want God to exist. It will crumble their world and fears for God to exist.

it is just too hard for some people to even pretend to be christians. i laugh at a lot of people who claim i was not a christian and yet they lie, they curse. as a christian i could not ever call anyone unsavoury names. infact i would say losing my faith made me lose alot of "virtue" honestly. i am very different now, a proper "sinner" yet i see those trying to tell me what christianity is and is not and they dont even know the basics because they do not read their bible, they are not committed, they are just christian wannabes like ishilove and anas09.

Pelecius:
I wonder how wannabe atheists enjoy self delusion, like the ones stated by op. I think it makes them feel good and "intellectually" fulfilled.

Most times, wannabe atheists objections are outright straw man. Let's consider his points.

1. Emotion is part of every human. Being a religious person (I'll argue for Christianity henceforth) does not make you more emotional than an atheist. First point.
Secondly, it is not a MUST that you listen to gospel songs. And gospel songs don't ONLY talk of emotional stuff. You are assuming too much here. And most movies don't end in tragedy, gospel movies included. Or are you implying that movies where good overcome evils are gospel?
The reality of being a sinner is not to appeal to anyone's emotion. The saving grace of Christ is evident as hard criminals turn to peaceful and loving people.
If you are not happy with it, it doesn't make you right. On the other hand, you seem to have just expressed your own emotions (maybe to make you feel good)

2. To hope also is universal, whether an atheist or a theist. Just that what one hopes on differs.
Again, you've stated two behaviors of humans generally, but tried to use it in disparaging religion.
Your "hoping on the impossible" is a straw man for the Christian faith. There's the instructions for WORK + faith and that of WATCH + pray. Most wannabe atheists set up straw man to attack. So a Christian does not hope while doing nothing just as a scientist does not hope to get results without experiments.

3. Like you already stated, having a family or urge to belong to a family is also universal. Now, your last statement of wanting an apostate to leave miserably is unfounded claim. It's just in your head. In fact, it's not a Christian thing to do.

4. Irresponsibility
This is where you just merely expressed your emotions. Your very first statement is another unfounded claim. You went on to prove it by other unfounded claims.
Seems that your ignorance of what Christianity teaches is just overwhelming and you must of think that Christianity is limited to Nigerian culture where evil forces are the order of the day.
Pick a Bible and study, it'll save you these unfounded claims you bring up.

5. Appeal to Authority.
You seem to write this to justify your alleged atheism. Using the Bible truths to train up children is not wrong, except you show otherwise. It definitely contains moral absolutes with which we can build a sane society (most atheistic influence nations actually built their morals on religion, and I'm not saying atheists can't be moral - though, there's no justification for that).
Your claim that atheist must work to earn his respect is even a Biblical principle also (Prov 24:22).

6. No need to think?
This is where you got it all wrong. You just don't know what Christianity teaches, so you invent one to make yourself look sophisticated.
The Bible encourages critical thinking and it was this that led to the rise of modern science (I believe you were not expecting this). Scriptures include:
A. Test things and hold on to what's true. 1 Thess 5:21
B. Only fools believe just anything. Prov 24:15
C. The Berean Christians checked what Paul said to see if it's correct. Acts 17:11
And other scriptures.

It turns out that wannabe atheists enjoy some delusions to feel good of their rebellion against God by cooking up what Christianity does not teach and rubbishing it. A simple logical fallacy called straw man.
But those are easily knocked down (then they mostly shift ground to bring up another topic without acknowledging being wrong).
Just as the scripture says:
The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him. Prov 18 vs 17

Truly Jesus is the Most Wonderful Counselor who ever walked this planet! Isaiah 9:6 smiley

Before he came some 2000 years back Moses prophesied that God will raise another great prophet among the Israelites {Deuteronomy 18:15-19} David foretold that he will sit beside God's throne to rule in the presence of his enemies and makes his enemies a stool for Jesus' feet {Psalms 110:1} Malachi foretold that this promised prophet will set the standard for worship that will make people feel satisfied {Malachi 3:16} Jesus himself said whoever keeps his words will become happy for keeping it {Matthew 7:24-27; Luke 11:28} and at last Jesus commissioned pure worship asking his true followers that they need to be fully competent and completely equipped in other to face the final battle on this planet which is a psychological war! Matthew 28:19-20

You are an atheist and you believe everyone should be entitled to his or her opinion, but what really baffles me is that you always engage yourself in PREACHING and TEACHING here trying to convince others on what you feel they should be doing!

Can't you see how Jesus is ruling you without you even knowing it?
Jesus asked his true followers to PREACH but you said "NO, Jesus is a myth" but here you are always PREACHING all day long without anyone giving you orders!

Haba, must everyone agree with you on what you feel is right?
Then what else do you think Christians are supposed to be doing if not to convince others and make them agree on the same line of thought? Matthew 4:19 undecided

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm truly Jesus is a mighty God! smiley

Yes, someone who does not believe in any god, right? Unfortunately, the most "someones" we find on NL are really people who do not want God to exist. They gleefully believe in anything else but God. They confess to Zeus, Spaghetti and all sort of irrational thoughts. There's a lot of crazy straddling going on, it would have being comic if it wasn't so pathetic. All these teenagers that run mouth on intelligence simply because they entered school, they hardly know anything on atheism than copy and paste. Having violent fits against God is not necessarily atheism, it is more of agnosticism and some of these new rubbish like reed keeps shifting from.

so true sir, evryone is entitles to their belief except when it conflicts with the fundamental rights of others. i am on the attack against religion (christianity in particular) because i found it to be a very very dangerous religion. in my opinion, the most dangerous religion. reason is this religion is filled with so many claims it cannot substantiate. it is an embodiment of what is wrong with our world.

Well let me tell you that you're wrong!

I was a Muslim before i embraced Christianity, if you're taking all the sects claiming Christians as Christians then you will be blind to the truth!
I once read what Mahatma Gandhi said about Jesus and Christianity, that's what led me to start making my own research to find out who are the true Christians?
What called my attention in your write-up is your mention of "GROUP", since you understand that there must be a specific group PRACTICING what the man Jesus taught!

Well there is a specific group today practicing what Jesus taught, they're totally different from all these sects claiming Christians having contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines all in the name of one Jesus!

True Christians have the same line of thought globally and apart from the imperfect state of individuals throughout the earth true followers of Christ are guiltless and you can not find anything to say against them unless you just want to be hypocritical!

Righteousness exalts a nation.

It is because of people like MaxInDHouse that God is punishing all of us with bad leaders. You can't be practicing idolatry and expert God to bless and prosper us....

Until the day we realize that Jesus is an idol and desist from even mentioning his name. Then God will start listening to our prayers...and maybe send us a saviour that will deliver our land..
