Moh247:
Athiest are anyone who doesn't believe in God or Spirit world

Wole Soyinka doesn't believe in Religion, Diety or God, instead he thinks it's mythology created within human mind to answer questions

nlfpmod:

But religion? No I don’t worship any deity. But I consider deities as creatively real and therefore my companions in my journey in both the real world and the imaginative world.”

Kobojunkie:
This statement here, giving value to a belief in deities, even those not worshipped, is what makes him not an atheist..

Moh247:
1. He believes a diety as your imagination created within your own mind

2. Just like children believe in boogyman living under their bed, or bobrisky having a fantasy that he is a woman

3. Prof Soyinka doesn't believe in a God up in the sky, or in an heaven, he thinks that's just your imagination

nlfpmod:

But religion? No I don’t worship any deity. But I consider deities as creatively real and therefore my companions in my journey in both the real world and the imaginative world.”

AkinwaleJJ:
Foolish man!

EKONGKING:
Only broke ass people think there is a white or Arab god watching them and saving them and yet still leaving them poor.
No wonder 133 million people are believer's in SKY daddy and Sky daddy rewarded them to live in country with most number of poor people

Modified

One of the 133 million people.living in multidimensional poverty spotted just above me ,
Awaiting for his SKY daddy to come and save him.

Kobojunkie:
1. But that is really what most deities are at the end of the day.

2. Pretty much!

3. Same thing.

AkinwaleJJ:
Foolish man!

Moh247:
So an Athiest says I don't believe in God's or Spirit

Wole Soyinka says I don't believe in Supreme God or diety as I think they are only your imagination and fantasy you use as coping mechanism

How is wole Soyinka different from an atheist

nlfpmod:

But religion? No I don’t worship any deity. But I consider deities as creatively real and therefore my companions in my journey in both the real world and the imaginative world.”

APOSTLECHUMA:
Wole Soyinka learn from Tai Solarin who was an atheist, while here on earth. Tai didn't believe in God but his last words while he was dying in his sick bed in a Lagos hospital, was "God help me" Before one's death angels or demons will surround the person to welcome the person home and Tai cried out unto God whom he didn't believe in to help him when he saw the demons coming to welcome him into the spiritual wicked world for not believing in his Maker.

Kobojunkie:
He says he does not worship any deity but clearly, he holds them in reverence

Moh247:
1. Having deep respect or reverence for something doesn't mean you believe in it

2. I have deep respect for Santa Clause and Father Christmas, but I do not think they are real, I think they are folklore, myths and figment of people's imagination

buygala:


You wey get religion, have you achieved even half of what he has or lived as long as he has?

Kobojunkie:
1. But you acknowledge it's existence and place, do you not?,

2. Your statement is rife with contradictions. .

Larrycool1234:
Jesus is coming soon

Moh247:
1. No I do not recognize it's existence. Wakanda is an imaginary place that exist in the mind of Hollywood movie makers

2. I rever the concept But I do not believe in existence of wakanda

3. This is simply what Prof wole Soyinka said

4. You can respect and Revere people's beliefs without actually believing in it's existence

nlfpmod:

But religion? No I don’t worship any deity. But I consider deities as creatively real and therefore my companions in my journey in both the real world and the imaginative world.”

Larrycool1234:

charlesdinho7:
people who are very brilliant do not believe in the existence of God. Soyinka is an educated fool

AkinwaleJJ:
Foolish man!

GenerousK:


You speak from your perspective and the people around you. There are several billionaires in strong world currencies who ascribe their wealth and riches to this "sky daddy" I actually believe it is "poor people" who deliberate the existence or non existence of God. The rich know their source is GOD!

EM123:
if soyinka is a fool what are you? I think there is no difference between some of us and bokoharam , how can you insult an elder just because he doesn't believe in imaginary god that you believe in.

Satazaa:
yes the rich know that there is God but do thier actions shows same? hell no, they wear the same face the masses they exploit wear, so that themselves and their descendants will forever continue to exploit the masses who sees them as one of thier own, Dangote will rather prefer her daughter to marry paddy adenuga than allow a miserable talakawa to marry his daughter even if they practice the same religion, your top politicians knows this and that's why they never fight on religious line's when it comes to sharing the masses money but will never fail to occupy the front rows of churches and mosques after sharing and donating peanuts

You will know you need one when you can't open your eyes anymore or move your body.
