fabiano09:I can certainly see where being conflicted on the matter can lead to suffering (ie being "on the fence", struggling with your identity, the discomfort of going against social norms, & questioning the meaning of life in absense of the dogma that once provided a meaning - albeit a sh*t one). I was once there as well, and I think every person who transitions from religious to atheist goes through that phase. But my life personally has improved a lot since I abandoned religion completely - as in got off the fence and delved into enriching my life in other ways. It has to do with perception and of course what you put in the place of what religion once gave you. The perception that life is meaningless because there is no deity, for example, can very well be replaced with the perception that life is incredibly precious simply because of the rarity and complexity of human existence. I find myself in literal awe sometimes when I think of the trillions of tiny cells in my body, working like factories to keep me alive without any control on my part. I marvel when I learn new scientific facts about how my body & other biological systems work, & it makes me truly astounded by nature & it's possibilities. It also makes me passionate about helping others understand. Learning about the cosmos is equally, if not moreso awe-inspiring. I'm also an avid reader of books on human psychology, including those involving the mastery of our minds through understanding our thoughts and emotions. I practice secular mindfulness meditation, a westernized, scientifically supported adaptation of Buddhist meditation, and it's given me a life-changing perspective on my mental space, and deep inner peace I never previously thought possible; certainly one I never experienced with Christianity. What I've learned has also tremendously helped me develop and nurture more fulfilling relationships. Sometimes with some of the books I read, I find myself wondering, "Imagine if books like these were passed out to the masses instead of the bible or Qu'ran? How much more peaceful, understanding, and wise the world would be." Anyway, I don't want to bore you with the details of my life & interests lol. My point is, there are plenty of ways to restore (& exceed) the personal fulfillment that religion & god beliefs once brought, especially now that we have so much access to valuable information. Exploring those ways can be a very exciting journey when one enters the endeavor with an open mind and overcomes that initially painful & confusing transition out of belief. I sincerely believe that you, and others who are in your position, can get there. 12 Likes 3 Shares |

Depends on what you called and call God. You are a part of what God is, every photon is part of the whole called God. We are a spark of God having an earthly experience. Earth itself is a bigger spark of God, so is the sun and the entire things in the universe and multiverses. Soul is the photon that powers all existence and brain is the interface that modulates the frequencies and channel the energy to our organs. This is purely scientific.I could not rationalize God without the science behind it. Religion is just a tool that ignorant people use to seek God and its just too confusing. Yes, I was theist, I became atheist, still I am in the context of religion, pantheism made more sense, but then I am in that place of God realization that I came to know that the God I have been searching for, I am a part of it, I am God experiencing earthly existence. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Alokendra:So they stole your laptop and you ended up just dashing babalawo money, you fvcked up o. ![]() I had a similar experience in my final year in secondary school. My purse with money, phone and one of my dad's sim card in it, was stolen in the hall after our mock exam one day, and I knew I was in big trouble because of that sim card. That's how some people told me of one woman somewhere, who sees past events in a mirror, my friends suggested we go, (even though I have never been one to believe in juju,it always caused a fight between me and my people even as a teenager then, I couldn't explain anything explicitly o but it just never made sense) but see me na, a desperate and angry girl, I forward marched to the place with my squad. On getting there, the mamalawo's receptionist told us she doesn't come out till 4 pm(i never knew we had vampire babalawos/mamalawos till that day), we were made to wait and after what seemed like eons, the orobo woman came out, led us into one smelly small hut, I could see my friends getting scared but I was silently praying this woman please be the real deal. She asked me what brought us, I explained, she said I'd pay a certain fee I don't remember the exact amount, I did, then she instructed us to go buy white kola nuts, alligator pepper and some sort of native chalk, we went, bought the items came back, handed them over and she asked me if I wanted the person mad or dead, after singing one fake song she just composed right there, I was like ![]() There I was, hoping that this woman would show me who stole my stuff in the mirror, only for this oloriburuku of a woman to say that, there's no other way, that it's either the person dies or runs mad, Tbh I felt like puncturing her fat stomach that day for wasting my time and money but I just told her to forget about the whole thing, all she was able to achieve was give me proof of all the talk about juju being hogwash. Anyways what am I saying? I'm saying that, if we humans can decide not to hurt people who genuinely wronged us, then a god who decides to burn people in an endless fire for doing absolutely nothing, but exercise their freewill of not choosing to worship him, then he is not only a psychopath but a dumb one at that and the idea of such a god, should be vehemently discouraged. 16 Likes 5 Shares |

H2Ossss: Hahahahaha a public announcement as God allegedly did during Jesus' baptism in the bible would be nice. We wonder how God went awol when we got video cameras after he usually showed his talents well in the bible ![]() Let me draw out another discussion that i will take On when my phone is charged.. You know the bible paints a human-like God, even has a back as moses saw so more or less looks like humans. Do you have that idea of a personal (can be said to be a person) God? 3 Likes 2 Shares |

johnydon22: The quest for God is the most thrilling adventure. The moment you realize this single puzzle, everything makes sense. Experiencing Gaia (Earth) is the goal of the entire matrix. You will, as soon as you know this truth laugh at the rat race. The earth is transitioning to a higher frequency as we move to the next phase of existence, and those who cant cope are signing out to other denser frequency planets. |
