Your Kids won't have a moral compass, hopefully you are not one of the hateful and foul mouthed atheists who can't stop insulting the supposedly nonexistent God.They will learn to insult and disrespect everyone else.

But God will always get to his own, if he happens to choose one of your kids as his, or even one of you.


I find the bolded laughable. You religious folks always ascribe morality to religion. Lol...your ignorance knows no bounds: a typical case of growing up in Nigeria and thinking the sun rises and sets in Nigeria.
No need to even engage you...morality my ar'se! With all your morally upright Christian politicians stealing you dry.

Deist here. Not angry just amused by and pity your ignorance. You need to learn that being atheist doesn't mean one lack morals. Neither does being religious guarantee morality as there are many devoutly religious yet immoral people.

You are no atheist. undecided Though am not sure of your point of reference of moral ideals.

Am referring here to a point of reference of morality. Not the morality itself.

An atheist refuses to acknowledge a universal standard. The truth is that most gays, and people living careless and openly promiscuous lifestyle (read sexual freedom) are atheist too.

Don't you notice that the worst set of people in Nigeria are the religious people?

If it is not the fraudulent pastors, it is the book haram bombers.


Surely you know that morality is innate and far deeper than any religion.


Nigerians with your mentality embarrass us abroad. People like you find it difficult to relate with Buddhists, Sikhs and pagans abroad.

Please learn to be tolerant. Just even look at the current Pope. Even atheists love the guy because he actually tries to reach others of different beliefs.

There are a lot of gays in the church. Even gay bishops.


Morality exists both before and without christianity.


Please, reason.

Women in most African societies have been taught to be subjective to the male. And for the very fact that most Nigerians are theist, therefore she is expected to be subjective and follow the religion of her husband. undecided and when she does not follow this line, she is labeled crazy or demonic.
We live a cyclic life which revolves around growing up, practicing a religion, going to school, getting a job, getting married and having kids. And slight deviation from this cycle automatically makes u an outcast.
But the strict adhesion to this rule by most Africans is the cause of our downfall.

My morality stems from my ability to think.

And atheists have a basis for their morality. Their humanity.

Muafrika2:

There is no universal standard of morality particularly in religion. This is why different religions have different ideas of morality and even in the same religion people have different morals.

On the contrary, I would argue that most are Christians. It is a FACT that many Nigerian Christians live promiscuous lifestyles.

I think it's because women tend to criticise religion out of harm inflicted on them and not clear cut logic or reason.

U know, i was asking the question because my mother-inlaw is complaining bitterly that me and my hubby are leading the kids astray, that we don't go to church so on and forth,

but i know and believe there is no fairy daddy with white long beard above the skies that oversees everything happening in the world,

and i think the world will be a better place if those religious bigot will stop religious indoctrination and allow the kids think freely, ask questions without fearing that the bearded fairy man will throw them in the lake of fire.
No the world will rather be a better place if the atheists will keep their reason & logic to themselves and stop spreading folly to sweep off the feeble minded!
It will be a much better place if they repent and run to Jesus!

So wait a minute, let me get this.

You agree that atheists are logical and reasonable yet you call that folly.

Hence one might say that you consider christians as those without logic and reason. Those that are gullible.


Congratulations; you just called the whole of Christendom stupid

Did you go to primary school at all?
Have you heard of possessive pronouns - 'their logic and reasoning'?
Your reasoning is a folly on GP!
