The Meaning of Life

Most religions scoff at what they have deemed as the "atheistic worldview" (what they think atheists think) because they believe it has no "meaning". Well, I've heard religious people describe what they believe to be the meaning of our lives...and I find it utterly demeaning and pathetic: to honor [someone] who created us just to thank, praise, and love Him - or else?! REAL love is unconditional. And when someone is requested to praise, it is meaningless, disingenuous.

The Book of Job

Why do bad things happen to good people? Well, we're actually made privy of God's "mysterious" reason in this particular case, and we find out that it isn't so mysterious after all.

Historically, Job has been revered as a great work of literature. Nobody really knows who wrote it, but the powers that be figured it had to be God-breathed. This book disgusts me mainly because it values material possessions over sons and daughters. Job's children were killed, and he's supposed to be fine with that because God returned twice the amount of his possessions. Sorry, not good enough. Yeah, Job had ten more kids, but as any parent who has lost a child can tell you: ONE CHILD DOES NOT REPLACE ANOTHER.

You are not an atheist on this thread? Are an atheist out of the thread?

Adwexky:

Yes. Pls watch the first video.

Seun wants to have us believe that he is an atheist so that he would dissociate himself from the changes that recently occured at the islamic section, hence driving back traffic to the religious section.

Just watched it. It may be controversial and insulting to the sensitivity of a christain or muslim, BUT THERE IS A LOAD OF SENSE IN THE VIDEO. God presented to us by religion is so ungodly i must confess. Watch with an open mind before you judge me. I am saying this for the first time tho i have pondered on it a lot.
I strongly suspect that our doctrines are all created by man so has to have a hold on society and determine it's course.

For now i am very skeptical about all religion teaches.

Since when did u become god to be able to read seun's mind.
Next time communicate like someone that is educated. If seun wants to dissociate himself from a religious scandal on this forum, will it be by declaring that he is an atheists. Wont that make more nigerians abhor him cos we are religious?
Mtchew.

Poor attempt to make yourself look good and to gain favour.

Declaring that he is an atheist is a good tactic to make it seem like he is not biased in favour of any religion.

Seun:
Yes. Pls watch the first video.

Ok. Point-Blank, You an atheist ?

This is why atheists keep to themselves in nigeria.
