Have You Ever Met An Atheist Before ? by Nobody: 1:58pm On Apr 13, 2018 |
Now considering the way some Christians here on nairaland speak about atheists you would think that they have had several personal encounters with atheists which went down badly. In Nigeria there are only a few atheists and most of them do not like to reveal their religious belief to others for obvious reasons,so it is usually difficult to spot an atheist in this country,however certain guys here on nairaland even without meeting or knowing any atheist in person have concluded that all atheists are vile,pathetic and immoral people. So to examine this claim I would like anyone especially a religious person who has met or is personally close to any atheist to come forward and frankly tell us what his/her experiences has been. 4 Likes |

There is a friend of mine who recently began to call himself an atheist. That's the only atheist I have ever met offline. He usually argues with the christians and muslims. As a knower of God Almighty, the creator of Yahweh and Allah, I always share my knowledge with him and our friendship is waxing stronger day by day, but we don't impose anything upon ourselves. |

darkchild64: NOT EVERYONE YOU FIND IN CHURCH IS A CHRISTIAN. SOME GO THERE FOR JUST APPEARANCE SAKE, AND TO PLEASE THE EYES OF THE PEOPLE WHO CARE. I BELIEVE THAT IN SOME GATHERINGS OF RELIGIOUS PEOPLE, THERE ARE MANY IRRELIGIOUS PEOPLE IN THEIR MIDST. POSSIBLY EVEN MORE COMPARED TO THE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE BECAUSE.. PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP. THERE ARE ONLY A FEW ATHEISTS BECAUSE OF WHAT THE CONCEPT OF ATHEISM IS ABOUT. SOME PEOPLE CLAIM TO BE IRRELIGIOUS BUT BELIEVE IN SOMETHING SUPREME. SOME DO NOT DISBELIEVE IN GOD BUT ARE SKEPTICAL ABOUT WHICH IS THE RIGHT ONE. SOME BELIEVE AND PRAY TO A GOD DIFFERENT FROM THE BIBLE OR KORAN GOD. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE BEGINNING TO SEE THE SPADE FOR WHAT IT TRULY IS, AND A LOT MORE WILL JOIN. 6 Likes |

Speak for yourself biko. It's only God who is omnipresent. I have met quite a number of them. Yes the first time i was astonished and felt the person was delusional but when i started seeing them here then i could understand better. Met one last year during evangelism, never seen such an unfriendly fellow all my life. 3 Likes |

CAPSLOCKED: There have always been people who attend church or the mosque to fulfill a social obligation and avoid stigma from the ignorant majority. And if we're being completely honest most xtians have not read the Bible, they don't know what they're claiming. Likewise African Muslims are reading a book in a language that they barely understand - not only is it a foreign language (Arabic) but it's the ancient, outdated version of said language. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

I've met many atheists, in Nigeria and elsewhere. I once met an Israeli atheist who could not believe a black person like me could be one too as he'd never met one. I have a friend who has never been out of Nigeria who is an atheist. He works in a bank and refuses to join in with morning prayer with his colleagues at work. He says it was tough when he started there some 15 years ago but not an issue now, and since he's now a boss, "they wouldn't dare", he informs me. I also have an elderly friend, married to a Church of England vicar, who is an atheist, but supports his wife by driving her to work on Sundays and other days. He keeps his opinions about gods away from his wife, but she knows he is an atheist, as is one of their 2 sons. 2 Likes |

mmsen: SUMMARY: "What is incredible about the Bible is not its divine authorship; it’s that such a concoction of contradictory nonsense could be believed by anyone to have been written by an omniscient god. To do so, one would first have to not read the book, which is the practice of most Christians; or, if one does read it, dump in the trash can one’s rational intelligence — to become a fool for god, in other words. To be an atheist, one need only be able to laugh when such obvious nonsense is offered as being “divine” truth." 3 Likes |

Yes I met a very stupid in my house about 2 months ago. He was my flatmate. I got to know based on his views on religion. He began by insulting Jesus and Christians even nobody was in an argument with him. |
Re: Have You Ever Met An Atheist Before ? by Nobody: 5:20pm On Apr 14, 2018 |
trapQ:normally whenever atheists talk about religion they end up sounding offensive to believers so let's forget about religious arguments, I am asking about his lifestyle generally,does he do anything that violates human rights or the Nigerian constitution |
Re: Have You Ever Met An Atheist Before ? by trapQ: 6:44pm On Apr 14, 2018 |
He did not just sound offensive. He was very very offensive and aggressive towards us believers and rained insults on us and Jesus and the Bible and everything else concerning Christianity. So by your first sentence, are you purporting that atheists generally are jerks who derive pleasure in bashing religion and it's adherents? Well the dude has a lifestyle that is a complete turn off for every sensible person. He threatened to beat up a lady in my presence, he is too aggressive and likes to win every argument by making sure his voice is the loudest. The good side of him though is that he is very neat and hardworking. darkchild64: |
