Hello everyone,

Have been a very active guest on nairaland since about last year. Have been reading and going through so many atheist believes here and I somehow find it sensible to me cause each day I go through a lot I pray fast and do many more it just seems as if the thing won't change.


Then I remembered how my mom was a chronic church lover who never misses a church program. If you read my previous post about how my dad is to me you would understand the sorrow she has gone through before she died.

Mainly the post on nairaland that has made me realize that Indeed these prayers dont work was an old post from hardmirror(sorry for the mention sir) I came across It i read everything and realize this man is making sense. Although I still attend church services like normal Christians but my zeal for Christ have gone each time am in church I don't feel like it makes sense to me to come to the church on basis of praying praying and praying which mostly doesn't work.

May God intervene speedily into your situation no matter what it may be. Amen!

''And Jesus fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward He was *HUNGRY.* And the *TEMPTER* came .....'' (Matt.4:2- 3) *This story of Jesus calls for understanding & watchfulness. Our prayers may not instantly remove our difficulties, but may transiently reduce. It's such a time that the devil will target to show up. Satan doesn't use to come when we're in abundance. He uses our period of insufficiencies to tempt us. Pray on with caution, we'll receive.*

Have you met the true Christians?

Note that they won't pray with you unless you are ready to practice the same sacred service with them! John 17:8-9 compare to Proverbs 28:9

Which means you might be praying while the true God doesn't even look at your side at all because you were doing it the wrong way! Matthew 6:5

Note that God doesn't answer all prayers {Jeremiah 11:14} so do you know the criteria for prayer before you can expect God to take you serious?

The Bible says:

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that no matter what we ask according to his will, he hears us. 1John 5:14

Do you know the will of God so that you can pray accordingly?

Prayer works but not in the supernatural way people imagine it does. Prayer helps bring calm to your mind and helps you keep focus on solving your problem, it's not a magic spell that prompts genies to come to your aid. You get the same effect from meditation techniques so there is no special thing about prayer.

This is factual!
But there's something prayer can also do that no meditation can achieve.
When you pray to God for personal request He will guide you into knowing how to go about it through the calmness of mind and focus.
But when it comes to issues having to do with many people meditation won't do anything what will work perfectly at that time is PRAYER.
For instance, we're all looking forward to a time when people from all races under the heavens will come to their senses and end WARS. Many organizations has been formed to help people see reasons to stop this madness but all to no avail. But with diligently study of the Bible, thorough meditation and fervent prayer to the one and only true God Jehovah's Witnesses have achieved this throughout the earth so that all their members numbering in millions have vowed never to raise weapons against their fellowman again! Isaiah 2:2-4

Now that's something only JEHOVAH the true God is working on presently in the midst of His prospective earthly subjects in the future:

He is bringing an end to wars throughout the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the military wagons with fire. Isaiah 46:9

For now He is working on how to perfect this plan without turning His earthly subjects into robotic ants who only live on instinct but they're happily and joyfully obedient to this arrangement globally both old, young, male, female, rich, poor, highly educated or ordinary craftsmen. Soon He will end all suffering by EXTERMINATING rebellious humans throughout the earth for peace to reign globally! Luke 19:27 compare to Daniel 2:44

Dude, I became happier since I lost faith in God and religion.
The quality of my life improved as I'm no longer subjected to dogma and unsubstantiated claims.

I started living by facts and not fictions/presumed lies. Try it and see your life change for good.
I started making informed decisions instead of depending on imaginary beings and revelation. Critical reasoning helps dude

Don't forget that you and EVERY human being on earth today, has DIRECT ACCESS to God.

While it is true that God means different things to different people, when I talk about "GOD", I am actually referring to the INFINITE MIND behind the whole cosmos.

Not the God of religion.

When you study the history of religion, this God of religion is sometimes referred to as the Demiurge.

Demiurge = Yahweh = Zeus = Jehovah = Enlil = same person.

That is why he is given human characteristics like, Jealousy, Hate, Anger, etc.

You should understand that you don't need to look outside yourself or to any sky daddy for the answers.

Everything you have ever needed has been buried deep inside you all along.

Stop giving your power to any religious leader nor any established religion - they are all instruments of INDOCTRINATION.

When you are part of a religion, you are never allowed to think for yourself, you are only expected to do what you are told to do.

Stop looking outwards, instead look inside yourself.

If only you know who you truly are, you go realize say wetin you de find for sokoto, is already inside your sokoto.

Religion is not the answer.

For research purposes, try and study this book - WHO IS THIS KING OF GLORY? - by Alvin Boyd Khun.

There's no evidence that a god exist.

Zeus is not the same description as yahweh

Do your research man, go way back to ancient sumeria.

Enlil is the half brother of Enki.

Enlil is Zeus, who is also Yahweh, who is also the Demiurge.

Enki is Poseidon, who is also the serpent or Satan in the Bible.

There is an INFINITE MIND behind the whole cosmos.

He (or she) is referred to as THE ALL.

The term "GOD" is used to make it easy for people to grasp the concept of an INFINITE CONCIOUSNESS...

You don't need to do any research to know that Zeus, the alpha Olympian God, son of Cronus is not Jewish Yahweh, both are also different from Odin Norse god. You only need to stop cherrypicking stuffs that suits your imaginations.

And all of these gods don't exist. No evidence that they do.

The term God is an English statement meaning "any supernatural diety". Stop deluding yourself

He calls me deluded.

You can't just discount my research if you have no idea how much information I have garnered.

History has shown that the Annunaki's of ancient Sumeria are still the same people behind every single myth and legends of God's and Goddesses in every culture of antiquity.

But the truth is we are saying the same thing in different languages and from different POVs.

Is religion the biggest problem we have in the world today?

I completely agree.

But, there is an INFINITE MIND behind all of the entire cosmos.

Do we need religion to help us realize our connection to this INFINITE MIND?

Abosultely not.

We already have everything we need, all we have to do is look inwards.

PS: I am very open to expanding my world view. If you have research materials to share, kindly do - I am always willing to learn.

The Jews are Blessed and are the richest race in the world and also have the world's top scientists. why because their faith is in the true GOD of the Old Testament and not the FAKE gospels of the New Testament created by the Romans.

Don't lose faith in GOD, but turn to the Old Testament and keep GOD's Ten Commandments HE gave to Moses and also read the Book of Psalms.

I'm not interested in this, I just want to correct the narrative that Zeus and Yahweh are the same concepts.
They are not, the only thing they share in common is that they are both figments of imagination from ancient humans.

Hello everyone,

Then I remembered how my mom was a chronic church lover who never misses a church program. If you read my previous post about how my dad is to me you would understand the sorrow she has gone through before she died.

God does not exist. Free yourself from the mental distress of praying and believing for a divine intervention. Start taking your life in your own hands. Change the things that you can change. Do whatever is possible for you to do. As for any situation that is out of your control, just make peace with it.

Your dad is sleeping and resting from the great sorrow and travail of this fractured, evil and fallen world

Be thankful that though he cant RIP, he at least, is RIP (i.e. if he cant Return If Possible, he's at least Resting In Paradise)

Mark it that, faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is the belief that God will do what is right.

Luke 22:39-42
'39And He (i.e. Jesus) came out and went, as was His habit, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed Him.
40When He arrived at the place [called Gethsemane], He (i.e. Jesus) said to them,
“Pray continually that you may not fall into temptation.”
41And He (i.e. Jesus) withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed,
42saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup [of divine wrath] from Me;
yet not My will, but [always] Yours be done.” '

The kind of prayers that dont work, are slot machine prayers. Other kind of prayers that dont work, are carnal influenced prayers. Prayers, said and done the Luke 22:42b way, always work. Meaning, when you do a 'Yet I want Your will to be done, not mine' prayer, that kind of prayer is a sure banker that always come up trumps and works

Am Beginning To Lose Faith In God.

Mark 9:24
'Immediately the father of the boy cried out [with a desperate, piercing cry], saying,
“I do believe; help [me overcome] my unbelief.”
(i.e."I do believe: strengthen my weak faith."
"I do have faith, but not enough. Help me have more!'')'

Brother, if you lose faith in God, and even on top if you lose faith ordinarily, then you'll be a lot more worse off, because be like a person, going to the market to buy stuff, but havent got money on you to trade and do exchanges with. Everything has a currency of its own. Dont you know that, faith, is the currency of the Kingdom of God?

You see, when you go to the market to buy or do business with people you need money, equally when you do business with God, you need faith. What I am advancing to you, is that, faith is the only currency that counts, so brother, put up your guard and keep faith in God because faith is the most powerful of all forces, operating in humanity and when you have, faith in depth, nothing can get you down. God is for you, He is not against you, so dont lose faith in God

I understand that, you would love to know the answers to all your teeming questions, but think about this too, if we knew everything, we wouldn’t have a need, to have faith. Faith, is not an assurance that everything is going to go all your way or how you expected to see things turn, but it is the assurance that, no matter what, God is in control.

Watch this Gratefulsoul202, three things are eternal, meaning, three things will last forever— they namely are, faith, hope, and love — and the greatest of them three, is love.

Where was this god during the Holocaust?

Isaiah 52:14
'Many were horrified at what happened to Him.
But everyone who saw Him was even more horrified because He suffered until He no longer looked human.
Many people were shocked when they saw Him; He was so disfigured that He hardly looked human.'

God, during the Holocaust, was in the same place He was, when He was inflicted with uncountable grievous bodily harms, assaulted and beaten up beyond recognition as He was painfully abused. Of all these, He didn't complain. He was silent like a lamb being led to the slaughter and butcher, He was, as quiet as a sheep, having its wool, cut off.

MindHacker9000:

' 5For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth
(as there are many so-called gods and lords),
6yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we exist.
And there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we exist.
7But not everyone has this knowledge.'

There is only one God. There doesnt exist Gods. There doesnt exist co-Gods. Only one God is in existence. The God of Israel, The God of the Jews in the Old Testament, is a universal God. He is the God of yesterday, the God of today, the God of tomorrow and the eternal God.
