It comes as no surprise that conservative websites made fun of the cancelled atheist convention. It shows where butterflyl1on aka butterflyleo gets his mom's formation from. From simple research, there were numerous reasons why the atheist convention failed. As usual, the op failed to give any of the real reasons.... 1. Novelty has worn off- atheist conventions are no more new and exciting. 2. Local conventions have arisen and now suffice for many atheists....so why pay expensive tickets to Australia? 3. Not everyone likes Dawkings who is one of the chief speakers at the event. |

superhumanist: LMAO those are your own cooked up reasons. I guess these reasons were not there when they successfully held the first 2 conventions. You forget that this is the third one You never think at all. |
Re: I Want To Help Atheism Grow. *wink* Wink* by superhumanist(m): 12:01pm On Mar 24, 2018 |
Butterflyleo: 1. If you hold 2 massive global conventions that leads to many local conventions, how would the third global conventions have any novelty? Are you thinking at all? 2. Dawkings was great until his misfirings against feminists and muslims |

Kinggnicole:Do you have any evidence on where religious people are mandated to wait for heaven rather than develop planet earth Don't just say trash because its been parrotted by other atheists. Be a freethinker, think independently of what you've heard or read. Also be thankful to theists for the comfort and scientific development you're experiencing today, for theists contributed immensely to it. www.nairaland.com/attachments/4179591_122380678045071929909642053318260822685879o_jpeg2421cc132ba5cdce803e6d869ff9c459 Check out one of my threads with valid evidence: https://www.nairaland.com/2975009/christianity-reason-science Then read your quote all over again. www.nairaland.com/attachments/3920968_119547188992702668083418614968478431285065n_jpeg230c5a16e26a432657700e09a942751c |

superhumanist:1. What stupid massive global conventions. The first 2 conventions were poorly attended. Give me examples of local atheists conventions. 2. Darwin was great in the circle of atheists that unfortunately constitute less than 4% of the total world population. If he actually contributed meaningfully to humanity like several religious scientists did, then he could be qualified using the adjective "great". 2 Likes 1 Share |

superhumanist: Two "massive" what? You must be having an illusion. So someone told you that other many local conventions came from this "massive" convention ba? Your headquarters must be growing and opening branches now Ogbeni stop messing yourself up. Atheism is hopeless and after just 2 conventions the once vigorous members have lost interest. Deal with it |

butterflylion: The poster is either lying or ignorant. There is atheist community in Nigeria which after registration came to Jubilate on nairaland with the 20k CAC certificate. Even the nairaland one has whatsapp group. The only truth he states was that atheist has nothing to discuss when they come together other than how to gangup to fight religion in secular life such suing people or organization for religion activities |

winner01: The point remains that they(theists and non-theists) acted and false hope had no effect. I'll address this now, I don't say trash OK It's my opinion and you are entitled to yours. Mention me all you want but I know I won't indulge you or any of your likes(its mentally draining). |

wirinet:The way a devil would work would be to get you involved in what concerns it so that you would not concentrate on what concerns you. It would eat up your time with things it claims to believe exists but which it does not quite know exists itself because the fact that you might not believe what it believes puts doubt in its belief in it's own existence. It would take you on a merry-go-round to absolutely nowhere because that's where it is stuck, and if it is not consuming your time and effort it becomes irrelevant. This is the reason some believe their gods created them, to serve and worship them! And in reward, it makes them think it blesses them. But this is achieved by making them think those who do not bow to their gods are not blessed, and this, despite vast amounts of evidence which they themselves, see before them. And to live in hope, they create an imaginary afterdeath of blissful existence that only they would get to go to, while they completely ignore reality. The devil is just another god that only exists in their mind, so you might understand how simple it is to make it disappear as if in a puff of smoke. You might from that understand how they must so tenaciously hold on to the figment of their imaginations. The thought that you could dare to be free scares them! The idea that you would not tremble in fear at the mention of their gods makes them tremble in fear at your existence! "We shall not have unenslaved people like you around, least you unenslave others!" "O, shall we therefore destroy you least others become as you", and their gods and they themselves lose relevance! Who will work in their gardens then? On whom would they prey if eyes open? O what lives of enslavement they live. Atheism is not some religion. And we do not congregate like those who convince themselves that godpots exist between the Earth and Mars which they must bow to and worship in fear. One is an atheist because the chains of religious enslavement have been broken. Yet, we don't go about slapping ourselves on the back to reinforce our sense of freedom. Nor do we go about evangelising as they do either. For we don't need them to abandon the gods they so strongly hold on to. If their gods exist, surely we too would become aware of it. And if gods don't exist, surely, people are able to realise that for themselves. Rest assured wirinet, we watch. Its just that many have learnt not to bring the devils into existence by allowing it to always occupy the mind with its nonsensical, ignorant, illogical, irrational, merrygoroundism which they claim is 'love' but which is borne out of hatred of the worst kind with devilish intent. The proper response for devils is, "Get thee behind me Satan!" It means, "Disappear, Satan!" Which, even when they disguise themselves as the gods, is what they truly are, completely irrelevant, in the long run, and eventually, dead! 2 Likes |

winner01: Why are you lying that the fist 2 conventions were poorly attended? One event had 2500 people while the other had 4000 people. "The same convention in 2010 included Dawkins (perhaps near the height of his post-God Delusion fame) and PZ Myers (whose Pharyngula website was head and shoulders more popular than any other atheist blog at the time). Approximately 2,500 people attended the event. In 2012, not long after the death of Christopher Hitchens, the guests included the remaining “horsemen” (Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and Sam Harris). They were joined onstage by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. The other presenters included philosophers Peter Singer and A.C. Grayling, physicist Lawrence Krauss, and science advocate Eugenie Scott. That event drew over 4,000 attendees" http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2017/11/22/what-can-we-learn-from-the-cancellation-of-the-global-atheist-convention/ |

winner01: Lol....given that it was in Australia and that atheism is a niche belief, that is a huge number |
Re: I Want To Help Atheism Grow. *wink* Wink* by superhumanist(m): 9:25am On Mar 25, 2018 |
Butterflyleo: Let me illustrate how silly you are. Nigeria is a country of 180 million people who are majorly football fans. I.e at least 90 million people are football fans. Atheists make up less than 1% of Nigerians. Some even put it as low as 0.1 percent. Meaning that atheists would be a maximum of 1.8 million. Lastly, flight tickets to Australia are far more expensive than local football matches. So, of course football matches would have more attendance than atheist conventions |
Re: I Want To Help Atheism Grow. *wink* Wink* by Butterflyleo: 10:19am On Mar 25, 2018 |
superhumanist: Yet with this your own analogy you cannot see how it is that the attendance was poor despite you claiming otherwise. Smh common is very alien to you. |
Re: I Want To Help Atheism Grow. *wink* Wink* by superhumanist(m): 11:04am On Mar 25, 2018 |
Butterflyleo: What kind of nonsense are you spewing? Were you not the one that foolishly compared a football match attendance to an atheist convention? One is niche and the other is a popular sport. Guy. You have embarrassed yourself. |
