indadi: Since you are moving to your own place soon you don't need to convince him. Just play along, you know what lies truly in your heart. Religion was created by man for his own selfish agenda. They tell a lot of lies, steal, kill and destroy people in the name of an invisible god. If religion is the key to development, Nigeria should be the most developed nation in the world. Rather, it's the world's headquarters for poverty and retrogression. The most developed countries in the world think very little of religion. Funnily, the religious folk in Nigeria is praying hard to his invicible god to grant him Visa to a country where they hardly pray. 5 Likes |

So because things are going well for you then you think it's by your power or hardwork? Your parents prayers is working for you, once they are gone who will intercede on your behalf? Looking at how Christianity is Jesus himself asked his disciplines that will I meet faith on earth by the time I return? Luke 18:8 The Prophets, pastors and type of Christians u meet are the reason for that question Jesus asked nd now it is working coz one you or more ppl start leaving Christianity because of pastors behavior. Pastors will only answer for his own unrighteousness, you will answer for yours too. It is an individual thing, everyone will carry his own cross. |

You are on the path to self awareness and consciousness. You don't need to explain yourself to anybody. Continue on your path to self discovery, its a long spiritual journey, but remember God is with you as HE is not religious. Each step to discovering yourself will come with a brighter light. 1 Like |

Bro, you can't know the whole pieces of life so you need God! A Personal fellowship with Him will change your ideology. "If you seek Him, you will find Him when you seek Him with all your heart." Human behaviours can not always be a criteria to test if a fellowship with God is important or not because we all fail. God knows you and I'm sure he is leading you to encounter Him in every kind of situations. |

Doradorwa: Lol...my dear, you have the right to do anything. And even the right to cry in the future and the right to go to hell when you die. That's true. No one is taking your right. What we are saying is, choose wisely. In Deuteronomy 30:19, the Bible says "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:" The Bible does not withhold your right to choose as clearly seen above, though your parents may because they love you. It even advises you to choose life. But at the end, the choice is yours. Don't think you are a big girl so you can just stop believing in God. Choose well! It's a piece of advice. We are too deceived by rights. If you are fair with yourself, without considering other things, it is safer to believe in God than to not. The true meaning of religion has been manipulated to mean the opposite. No sane religion supports laziness, foolishness, lack of creativity and killings. Morality that atheists claim to have, all came from religion. If not for the belief in God since the beginning of the world, no one will know that it is wrong to kill. Please choose wisely. You can only be for God or Satan, no matter how childish you see this talk. Even if you think you are in the middle, you are for Satan. One of the tools Satan uses to lure men is this issue of rights. I have the right to do this or that. That is why we have LGBTQ and the likes. No be right cause am? This may look childish to you..... Well, I have nothing more to say. But be wise. |

Trust me, feeling you were deceived might just feel like going cold turkey on an addiction. There's a tendency for relapse. There's a level of belief you just have to accept that develops from knowing there's something inherently wrong with this world and you can't put your fingers as to what that is but accepting that nothing matters and we're all gonna die is the first step. Creating meaning in everyday doings is another step in the right direction. I don't believe in the spiritual aspect of anything and ironically I find that side of humanity (especially I did not fall from grace... There was never any to start with. |

Donspicey:I wonder if this was the case of our forefathers before the whites came. Who exactly is the devil? If we practiced Christianity before the whites came with their traditional religion, does that mean that God we serve becomes the devil because we accepted their own religion over ours out of inferiority complex? Now we don carry their religion for head like pot while they've moved on. Our religion is inversely proportional to our development as a continent. U ever think about it? We are the most religious country in the world, yet we rank highest in corruption, hatred, envy, wickedness, and all the worst social vices you can think of. A Christian brother will quote bible verses for you and run you street with the smallest opportunity. A Christian sister sees people who aren't as religious as her as instruments of the devil. She looks at people scornfully. Think about it. What's the essence of all that effort when we remain the same? 2 Likes |

Can't find what to tell you, but one thing I'm certain of is that you are about going down the wrong path. Many have learned the hard way. Don't forget Psalm 14:1. You don't have to be a saint, but denying the power of God becomes a different thing altogether. |

Olaideolayemi:This your point won't help him either. He needs a better explanation 2d things of life. No one came into this world with Religion, we were either exposed to it at birth or we got into a new one via conversion. At least his Brain is thinking. His Brain is asking questions. God is interested in bold & intelligent people. Pastors don't like such people. Especially those who allow their brains to work. Rather they cherish the "O Yes MEMBERS" Nigeria is suffering today because of a huge deposit of Gullible people, afraid to ask questions. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Choice is a funny word/ So believing in choice means there really isn't an ultimate power and even if there is ( as given by the fact some humans are more powerful than others), that ultimate power isn't ultimate but greater cos why give your creations choice they never had in the first place if it's not just for your own drama.

If you're an adult that can make self good decision u actually don't need your parent permission to choose your spiritual life. I haven't practiced any religion in my life apart from being to church for couple of times as well as mosque for a couple of times..the both religion books are full of things you are meant not to question but just believe. So many stories of event and tradition of certain people are what you should believe and live by. I once told a good friend of mine who practice Islam that there is nothing like Islamic name but just names of Arab people which is their indigenous names and he was like it is written in the Koran and I was like why can't this guy see that before the religion, there were an ethnic group who have their indigenous names and those from that ethnicity who started the religion continue with that names and those who they enslaved with their religion were meant to believe that such names and Islamic names or Christian names as the case may be. indadi: |
