I don't believe in God too. The bible is unreliable and is like all other folktales around the world, be it the Romans, The Chinese etc the stories in the bible are similar to stories of other cultures that are even older than the bible stories.
I believe that for the fact that parts of the bible were removed, the parts that arouse curiosity, doubt and that will make alot of people to question the authenticity of the book raises alot of questions. Science has made us understand that the story of creation in the bible is not true. Years ago people only believed that there is only heaven and earth, now we know that earth is just a tiny piece of the universe.
Years ago I used to doubt and question about alot of things I heard in churches about god. I used to believe that they were too good to be true. Then, u hear a church person tell; don't worship god with ur senses, don't question God, he is this and that, it's a sin to think , if God tells u something u do it etc it's very appalling to see people being brainwashed by a God u don't have any evidence that he exists safe from a piece of book and the orientation u have had since childhood which I acknowledge, it is very difficult for many people to change that mentality, no one wants to be seen as weird or Satanic. I encourage you my brother not to slide on ur believe but continue to pursue the truth, if there is God at the end of the tunnel, no problem. I will personally like to know the stupid and insensible god. Like if you don't believe god

No, they are into an occultic group that you are aware of.
They usually say it in TV that they are atheists.
Atheists don't believe in anything spiritual including occult.
Is that hard to understand?

Nairalanders Good day. My Pops is a Senior Pastor in one of the Pentecostal Churches in Nigeria and has devoted his life to Church.
Ironically I don't believe in God. Never been the religious type. I See no sense that in 2022 humans still live by a book written by someone in 18BC. Doesn't make any sense to me.
Pops wishes I were religious lyk him carrying some big story book (Bible) with me about Lol.
I'm too woke for those fairy tales Sorry.
Watch my Pops dedicate his whole life to someone's
business (Church) as they seriously exploit him.
I've advised him Severally but he won't listen. I Can't be like him. I'm Smart, Handsome, Rich and Non-religious. And I Will remain so.

Who cares?
Does ‘oyingbo’ market cares if anyone is present or absent?
You don’t believe in God ..is your personal cup of tea.
Anyway
It’s not your fault
It’s the representation that Nigeria Pastors gives to God
God is NOT that story book you mentioned if you care to know
God is NOT church either
God is NOT that ‘thing’ you call tithe&offering

You may be a joker by the way .. wanting to hear people’s opinion..

Just take a ‘breathe… a looooong BREATHE..’
that is God !! That breathe in you .. is God
The day he takes it back .. you will realize !
Shebi.. you are handsome ..who care

My Brother, being smart, rich, Handsome and all that is good but they are not what is Important.

All the riches , wealthiness and Smartness that we are or have are vanity and very useless to our Eternity.

Nothing that we own here will be taken with us to Eternity !

The Greatest and Highest Need of all Humans is Have a Genuie relationship with JESUS Christ.

My Brother This is what Really Matters. Every other thing is vanity and will fade away.

You may argue with this and call it a bluff but the day you Close your eyes in Death, or the Trumpet sounds, you will understand.

So I advise and admonish you to Follow your Dad and Submit totally to the LORDSHIP of JESUS Christ so as not to cry Had I known
.


The OP is already free but you're not. It's you that have need to set yourself free

There's no trumpet that would sound now or in future. The story was written to keep you in perpetual fear and unable to free yourself.

Jesus never existed!! Jesus is the biggest scam in history.

Enroll in a class to set yourself free. For more information, see Christianity and Islam are curses placed on black people. Enroll in a class to free yourself from religion & religious indoctrination

There is difference between going to Church and believing in God. I don’t go to church but I know there’s God and I do believe in Him.

Anyway good for you but I really don’t see the point telling us. Religion is a personal affair so keep it to yourself.

Romans 1. 21-24

21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 ¶Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Does it mean that the Moslems, Jewish, Buddhist, Atheist, Agnostics, At least the 5 billion humans on earth who doesn't know Jesus their life is meaningless. Because going around the world many people who said they truly found Jesus, I do see some kind of purpose in their life but I still see the same type of purpose in some who never found Jesus?

The existence of God defies logic so u cannot explain it with common sense. Also, what u believe is a conscious choice and so no one person can force u to believe in the existence of God Almighty, no matter how hard they try. But a day will come when the truth will be revealed and then it may be too late to change ur mind. I just pray that God, through His Holy Spirit, will reveal Himself to you cos people like you are the reason why Christ came to die on the cross in the first place

I need an honest answer why is it those who doesn't believe in God are always successful

If I may. Just like you, I've asked this question. But as time went on, I realised that not all of them are successful. You could say most.

On top of that, there are other things one enjoys other than success. There's joy, there's peace of mind, even good health.
So, they may be successful.... but do they have these as well? Things they wished their success/ wealth could buy them?

Those who believe in God have it hard at times. But there a peace one feels when they do.

That the Bible was written for many years ago doesn't make it irrelevant

The Bible links the past, the present and the future

Alot of things happening now was already written that it would be so

Bible listed the rulership of all the world power from Egypt down to this current Anglo-America Power

All that the Bible says about them came true

Bible foretold that this current British and American world power will be the last human world power after wish God's kingdom will take over . Daniel 2:44

And it will come to pass

Bible foretold what will happen in the future and it will all happened

Bible advise on happy family is beneficial for all if applied

Bible offers advise and guidance in every aspect of life

Bible advise on how you can manage your money, live with your neighbor, and even how to treat your workers

So such a good book will forever remain relevant

There are life stories of people who had the same experience like you, what makes them change their minds, you may read and as well watch videos about them as they narrates on www.jw.org
you spoil all your write-up with that site

All these people claiming they don't believe in God, calling Bible fairy tale and making jest of spiritual things, it's because God is merciful and Christians are taught to turn the other cheek that u guys can blab and claim woke and unbelieving,

Cuz I know fear won't allow u to step on a charm prepared by a dibia or ezemuo
Or if one babalawo in your area draws a line and dares any of u blabbers to cross u won't cross..

But because it's church and Christendom were mercy is speaking u now put on ur thinking hats and rubbish holy things...u guys better becarefule I know people firsthand who have experience tragedies due to following this part, if u are an athiest live that life without ridiculing the Church,there is a judgement attached

From your own existence, if you believe that you did not come out a primordial soup by chance, that the existence of a male and female shows significant design and there has to be a designer, then you'd know that God created all things.

We're in a very large universe and possibly multiverse. God cannot be in one location all the time, every movement takes thousands or millions of year

Kudos!

You've made the right decision. The good news is that any intelligent person would finally free themselves from religion. It's not easy but any intelligent person would figure it out sooner or later.

Anybody that lived and died with religion is a fool. In fact, I was thinking the other day whether religion was deliberately designed as a way to detect people who can think and those who can't.

However, believing in God is not the same as being religious. So, you may still believe in God but not the God of religion. Religious people actually don't understand what God is.

God is not something to be believed. God is something to be understood and become. That can only be done by spirituality not religion.

There are certain issues that should not be debated because they are straightforward. It is your constitutional right to freedom of religion. In as much as you are of 18 years and above and not living under the roof your father, then you are free to select any religion or religion of choice. But if you still depend on your Dad for daily living, then you are bound to toe the path he decides..
