How Would We Run An Atheist Church? by JackBizzle: 9:19pm On Jan 10, 2017 |
Point of correction- secular church and not atheist church I am tired of the influence of religion in Nigerian politics. These churches have billions of Naira and wield a lot of power. A church can shut down traffic without suffering consequences. hmmph! So, I want to start a secular church but i need good ideas. Be serious oo! We atheists too need that tax-free income. Let's make billions!! 1) What should we call the church? Anointing Holy Nuclear Fire Ministries? Humanist church of Nigeria? Dawkins ministries of science and wonder? Mountain of Evidence ministries? Church of the Atom? 2) What would be our sunday programme? Quick 20 mins sermon then family barbecue? Debates and guest speakers on philosophy? Marijuana parties and orgies? Abeg, I need your ideas.

hehee! Why not nah? Daddy GO Adeboye's shade got a whole chairman of FRCN fired. Church get swagg. Confam! We atheist sef suppose get church too wey dey get money. If there were anything like a secular church, I imagine that there should be a quick discussion about community issues and then there should be like a get-together afterwards. Just drink and chill after.....maybe some shisha too!!! 1 Like |

If it's a "church", then it's not for atheist. There should be another name, or coin it up. |

Can you please not call it a Church. The word church is already peculiar to Christianity and you know that. |

Born2Freak: Great idea, babe. I was actually thinking of something similar. A quick discussion of current affairs, then drink and chill. Exchange contacts and socialize. |

hahn said he has an idea for something like this..... On a sidebar, Jack, if you want quick fame, you can easily just open a blog and say : 21 yr old ATHIEST turns Christian after 29 years professing atheism (if we can have an 80 year old young lady; this should be too hard ) . "God slapped me"; he claims. Then you can write a book with an apt title like. "From knowing to believing" or "That Rationality of religion". Of course, these books can be a newer version of the same old flawed arguments put forward by apologists to defend their faith. E no concern you. Just spice it up with anecdotes. You know how humans love anecdotes!! Create a Youtube page and come back on NL as a firebrand christian. Persuade Nairaland atheists to help your ministry....and if they agree; they drop their reason and claim religion saved them. By that time, you'll be famous and well known. Your blogs will be getting a million views and your name will be used up an dan in debates. Drop some juicy quotes too... "When a man stop reasoning...only then he begins to see the truth for what it is" "I used to believe in evolution. But one day I asked myself : How is it that my hands are the right length, shape and width; to scratch my balls It was then I realized : Nature cannot give me such a perfect tools to scratch my balls from randomness. Something must have given me a perfect scrotum toucher. Something......or someone and other quotes like that. They'll love it!! If you want to go a step further, you can publish more books like "The Divine slap : 21 ways to make God hit your face with success" and other "inspiriationals". They'll love it P.S : I hope no one will use this thread to say Atheists need churches because they still believe God. I sincerely hope not 12 Likes 9 Shares |

wirinet: The pentecostal church doctrine 3;16- "for what does it profit a church to do good but lose its tithe money?" Guy, there must be offerings and church contributions of course! We can even rope in some American and UK secular organisations to assist in funding! 1 Like |
