What's wrong in saying a 'prayer' or mumbling some words I know no one except the people in the office will hear? Saying the prayer to please the boss doesn't make me less an atheist or take anything away from me. |

emmayayodeji: Believe me, I've seen worst. I have even created a topic to that effect. Often times, people who know my views about religion take me to be the devil's first born. I just catch fun in the process if I like to or simply smile at their ignorance. Most times I tell them one day they will see the light and they will be like ''god forbid''. 2 Likes 1 Share |

D1official: You sound unintelligent, please pardon me for being blunt with you! Atheism is neither an Order nor Religion. It is just a word that describes the views that there is no universal being that acts like the traffic Warden in humans' lives. If you believe that god exist but can't prove his existence, except quoting some verses written by drunkards and people who constantly hallucinate. I on the other hand, do not believe he does exist, because I cannot prove he truly does exist. Who is Madder? 6 Likes |

I have a lecturer who's an atheist, he doesn't hide it and he doesn't carry it on his head like ice water. No one will ever call him to say a prayer or even share the grace, because he might end up giving an Ogun/Sango version of it even though he's an ex-christain, and he's very brilliant, effective, can be very comical and theoretical indispensable in the department. Just be good at what you do and let others know who you are and you wouldn't be asked to say a prayer, you wouldn't even be asked to say amen or forced to close your eyes, ever! |

Re: How Do Atheists Handle Religion In The Workplace? by MadCow1: 3:54am On Jul 25, 2017 |
Desirae: I was never called because I declared openly that I was an Atheist even on all official company forms and records. That started a flurry of people trying to convert me including one time a woman breaking down in tears for my soul inside my office. So if you are a closet Atheist, you may have such issues but I have been open about mine for over 9 years now and have never faced that issue. 2 Likes |

PataAlhaja: Exactly.. I didn't get recruited because I was qualified religiously, but because I was qualified academically and experience wise. Atheists need to grow a pair. We don't have to conform to societal religious pressures just to fit in. Ever since I came out, life has been a whole lot prettier. It's always funny seeing people lose their marbles over the issue. On my NYSC form for example, for religion I wrote "Atheist/No religious affiliation".. Every official that touched that form called me personally to try and either preach to me, condemn me to hell or just to see the face of the person. I am an Atheist and I say it proudly. When People say I am going to Hell I just laugh and tell them "You believe in that shiit, I don't" and keep it moving. 4 Likes 1 Share |

tomdon: It's in all of us.. Theism is a programmed trait. Everyone of us was born an Atheist (i.e without religious affiliation).. We only become Theist due to upbringing, society and environment. I am sure as a kid, when you heard the stories from the Bible, you had a ton of questions and doubts. But seeing as most of your questions were met with "just believe" or "you can't question God" or "God is mysterious" or "Go pray and ask for answers", you were subconsciously programmed to just go with it despite the doubts you harboured and still suppress till this very moment. The Atheist is one that has decided to challenge the norm. I am not afraid of hell because just like God, Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, Lochness Monster (i.e Nessy), nobody has seen it or can prove it exists. So if and when I die there is indeed a Hell, I am prepared to walk into it, give the Devil a hug and go take my spot. But nobody will limit the way I live this life that I am sure of in exchange for a fairy tale life I can only see when I die. 7 Likes |

QueenOfNepal: Says the person who thinks if she believes a Jewish God sent his only Son from Heaven which he gave birth to by impregnanting a Jewish Virgin against her will to come die for Sins that the Jewish God created in the first place, that all her fuckery and atrocious acts against humanity will be magically forgiven and She will one day after she dies live in a Mansion above the sky built on a street paved of Gold, dressed in all white linen singing "Kumbaya" for the next gazillion years as a righteous Ghost whilst looking down at us Atheists roasting in an everlasting fire for the same gazillion Years.. Yeah!! Nah!!! Yeah!!!! We may be deceiving ourselves but my darling you're a "Class A unrefined thorough bred ree-tard".. My advise is that you off yourself and go to your fantasy home in the sky cos your existence is of zero profitability or usefulness to humanity. XOXO MadCow.. 9 Likes 1 Share |

felixomor: Negro shut the French fries up.. Once again you are talking out of your Ass. I dare you to name or cite 1 example of an Atheist Company. I will push it further, I double dare you to cite one example of an "Atheist Company that bans it's employees from praying".. Seriously, just shut up if you have nothing factual to say (emphasis on factual as that is a concept that seems lost on you theists). Pulling bullshit out of your ass to support your arguement only counts when you are talking about fairy tales not reality. Thanks for stopping by.

Next time, this is what you will do. Note, this plan will only work if you maintain a serious face throughout. 1- Calmly accept the prayer challenge. 2- Tell everyone present to close their eyes tight 3- Now say, in the scariest voice you can muster "Let us all now welcome the presence of the transcendental spirits to invade each and everyone of us, and energize our frail mortal bodies" 4- Start humming and uttering gibberish (still in scary voice) chances are they would freak out at number "3", but if its the Nigerians I know very well, they will start pleading the blood of Jesus and screaming you down at number " 4". At this point, mission accomplished. Trust me, no one will ask you to pray again, they will even ask you to leave before they start prayers. ***As a bonus, no one will want to get on your bad side in the office, cos no one knows what you and your scary spirits can do to them.

felixomor: Typical Theist.. I really am a Mad Cow? Really? So you just responded to a Message on a forum typed by a Cow that is insane. You must have that new strain of stupid that is spreading around. I didn't start the lie Boy, you did.. You said "Atheist people generally don't allow prayers in their companies. You cant even pray in atheist countries." And that's the bullshit I called you out on.. Now Mr. "I Chat with actual Cows online", Kindly do the following; 1. Name one Atheist Company you know. 2 Name one Atheist Company that you know bans prayers in their company. 3. Name one Atheist 'Country' (my guess is that was a typo but just incase), that banned prayers. You can't play a switcharoo on this one.. If you say shiit, then you better have proof that back up that shiit.. Otherwise just concede to the fact that just like your religion, your statement was full of shiit.. Hope you did your homework.. Don't forget your lunchbox again.. Bitchass C*nt.. 2 Likes |
