Am not an atheist, though most people see me as thiest (but not a religious one though) just attending church for the sake of attending,but deep in my mind am an agnostic.but with kinda things I go through might end up being an atheist, because I don't even feel the if any God exist, cause I have not even felt him before, I watch people catch holy ghost and testifying to seeing angels but not even have I had a dream bout one before. We just have to keep worshiping though we shouldn't believe what we can see,but we worship him due to fear of the unknown.

Sometimes I even pray that if he exist he should show at least show himself in a dream or through a pastor,but he still never show himself to me,he doesn't have any message for me,damn who TF is he,we should keep worshipping him cause he we were told fairytale about one stupid hell they keep threatening us with.

Me and my friends once attended a night vigil,when the pastor was touching all of them head they kept falling (in my mind I was laughing at their funny charade), when it got to my time I didn't fall, I didn't even move back as he was trying to force me to maybe fall, since then i no attend the yeye church.

What am trying to drive at is am beginning to doubt the existence of God and if he doesn't show himself to me one of this days, then I might graduate into an atheist. Mind you oh yea preachers and gullible ones I don't need your preaching and bible verses. I have heard enough of that.

First of all don't confuse religion with spirituality

Secondly try other religions e.g Islam

At worst, you may try deism, but don't ever doubt the existence of God

Lastly, s'il vous plait, allez et mourir, ça ne nous touche pas!

I have noticed a sharp rise in atheism in Nigeria. Some of my friends are full blown atheist, some claim Christianity or Islam not because faith but because of culture and convenience.

@OP

Believe you me, I understand your thought perfectly well, because I was once in your shoes.

Well, take it from me that God truly exist, but His idiosyncrasies are no where similar to what religious proponents, practitioners, and the so called religious holy books and doctrines depicts Him to be.

As far as I am concerned He's just. And all what we need to exist He has provided to us with extra gift of freewill (to me this is the greatest gift He gave to mankind) to decide our fates. He neither needs our prayers nor expects our praises.

I wish you could adopt humanism worldview and reveres God through act of altruism. Create your path and encrypt it.

since he knew adam nd eve would eat from the forbidden fruit,why did he create satan nd plant the forbidden tree,is he not omniscient
Why can't he just forgive adam nd eve after they eat the fruit,atleast I make mistake nd my parent fogive me not to talk of a God that they said loves us than our parent

my 2 cent

Statements like these are the major reason atheism would continue to foster.

If you tell me to fear someone because he is the Big Boss, he can punish you, guy forget it, I want to be a big boss myself and that is not enough reason to fear someone...

Growing up I was really stubborn but my dad was equally very harsh, his harshness never deterred me from carrying out my dubious acts, I grew up to a stage where I started respecting him, not because he was really harsh but because he was my DAD...

Grow up guys, you bore people to death by telling them such stories.. Are your politicians, prostitutes, militants, thieves, ritualist not church goers? I can see from their action they are very afraid of HELL...

You do know the God you worship is a white mans God and our ancestors were enslaved and forced to follow the white mans religions. Funny enough the white man made dark skinned jew into a white European just to satisfy their own ego but here is an African follow them.
Bravo.
On your Question about the earth creation. Do you really believe all that crap about Earth creation written in the bible? And the fact that adam and eve were the first two created, keeping in mind tgat God banished cain to a far land where he met "other people". Seriously dude?

So God (who's a merciful and loving God), of whom the bible say 'his mercies endureth forever', will send a human (whom he created in his own image) to hell??... But why?

I believe no matter what your child does to you, you can't send him/her to a fiery furnace.

Imagine,let say you gat 100 years to live , Now imagine, God gave you 100 years to repent but you don't want, He sent His Son just because of the love He gat for you, He even created hell to serves as a deterrent for you just for you to repent but stil u don't want. to.. Now, you saying rubbish that, a loving God should not do that.. smh for you,.. You are just trying to twist the Bible.. If God didn't warn us, thats another matter, but you keep hearing about repentance but you chose not to.. What the Bible is saying is simple... 1)Serve and love me with all your heart.. 2)Love your neighbors.. When you don't read ya bible, you end up having problem about God's true nature

I started having this same thoughts about three years ago, Since then, I ceased to be a religious/pious person. Many things just doesn't seem right, Look at all the atrocities in the world, the sufferings and deaths and an Almighty God is there folding his arms.

I can't even remember the last time I did that thing called prayer.
www.nairaland.com/attachments/3910282_agnosticquotes6_jpegd966c601397b8bc447dfe622bfc0f7e8
Over 90% of people in world believe in a higher power, whether it be Jesus,allah,buddah or whatever. Saying that you do not believe in God because he has never displayed himself to you is like saying that a teacher's cane is not painful because he has never flogged you. Remember God is sovereign and does not need to show himself to you just because you will it so or require some sign. He will show himself when you need him most and I am certain he has. Because I am willing to bet that there were times in your life when u received help from nowhere but choose to brush it off and call it luck or Good fourtune. What u may regard as luck on a daily basis is God helping you out. You're in doubt of Faith and religion it's understandable we have all been there. But check yourself and you will find that you do not have a valid enough reason to be either agnostic or aetheist.
