SirWere:When traveling outside of Europe (i work fairly internationally) the situation changes. There it seems that there are regions where things like religion is important. Hence my interest of the subject. Different cultures and belief systems are interesting. I am not sure what you mean by 'traditional religions'. If you take the interpretations of the christian mythology it goes from Russian orthodox to roman catholics all the way to the mormons. Its a very wide field. The islamic mythology is also fairly wide in its interpretation and so is the jewish mythology (which is the ancestor to both christianity and islam). Really traditional mythologies would be the local deities (in my case old norse asa gods, and whatever you had locally). In common for all the mentioned mythologies is the lack of evidence for them. What I feel for advocation of a specific variant of these belief systems depends on the corollaries of the belief system. 1 Like |

KingEbukasBlog: Thanks sir for the beautiful thread you made about me. Unfortunately I cannot be everywhere at the same time. And Sir,I think you have mistaken me for other Atheists,maybe because we think alike. I have no reason to be dishonest or fool others with multiple accounts. I only felt like sharing my religious and non-religious experiences with like minded people. I had no clue someone took the truth man account. But when I tried taking it it showed the name was already taken. And because it was a specific name wanted to go by,I chose Truthman83 which is my year of birth. I hope I have clerified my account a bit. I am a man of peace and not here to argue with anyone. Religion/faith is a personal thing. I am only here to mingle with Atheists like myself.Thanks 4 Likes |

JFAH:Guy, ignore these people. Not every European speaks English Language. I have worked with French a man whom I taught English language. When he came to Nigeria, he couldn't speak any English at all. So, just make your point and don't take them seriously. We are not in English Grammer class. |

Re: Ask An European Atheist by Ranchhoddas: 6:05pm On Aug 22, 2016 |
Anas09:A different person would have answered at once. A person up to some mischief would want to dance around it for a while. You are Analice. |

EyeHateGod: The pronunciation is consonant. Therefore, it should be a European, not an European. This is not enough reason to say he is not from there sha. |

Truthman83:No. Not at all. Technically the country I live in have about 60% that calls themselves and are a member of the lutheran church. About 40% have a vague sort of deism/theism type of faith system (usually on the level ' I think there something out there' type). About 5% actually goes to church. about 0.5% actually believe in what the bible says. In practical term the absolute majority are practical atheist and cultural christians where the church is reduced to ceremonial relevance. We use baptism to welcome a new life to the extended family, we use weddings as a ceremony for entering a new stage of life, and have the burial ceremony carried out by the local church with a minimal amount of supernatural references. In essence the church plays a cultural role and people are happy with that. So no, having no faith here is not hard in any way, actually it would raise eyebrows you actually where an outspoken religious person, it would be taken as a mental illness rather than something positive. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

JFAH: It is a much different society to ours over here. Here you are considered insane if you do not believe in the Christian God or the Islamic one. 95% of our population is very religious. I cannot sum up the courage at this moment to declare myself Atheist. killing an Atheist might be considered as demonic cleansing. I live in a society that believe demons are real and a lot of money is made by pastors killing them. My society is also extremely Homosexuality intolerant. It is good to know that someone out there lives in a much civilized society. 3 Likes |

Truthman83: I am surprised you chipped in homosexuality even when the one responding to you has not yet mentioned any sexual orientation. Makes me begin to wonder about one of the reasons you actually became an atheist... ![]() |
Re: Ask An European Atheist by JFAH: 8:18pm On Aug 22, 2016 |
Truthman83: Well what I said goes for most of Europe actually So the nordic regions is not alone.I have a hard time to understand this part. And it fascinates me that people can behave in such an immoral and irrational way. Especially as many of these religious cults seems keen on claiming the moral high ground. |

naijadeyhia:Homsexualitu always gets your attention. You should embrace your carnality. ![]() |
Re: Ask An European Atheist by JFAH: 8:21pm On Aug 22, 2016 |
naijadeyhia:No I haven't. I consider sexual preferences to be irrelevant. If a person is homosexual, it is a personal matter not of my concern. |
