raptex: To be honest, I don't know why being a freethinker has religious (or irreligious) connotations. Open-mindedness is not restricted to any religion. 3 Likes 1 Share |

johnydon22:Special about freeing one's mind from religious deception? You try it and see for yourself, johnydon22. And if you come back and say there's nothing special, I, buda, swear to adopt whatever unatheistic views held before trying with no reservation whatsoever! That's how much regard I have for you! And I mean I will post my fb page on here so you can check I've truly and completely adopted whatever it is that you believed before trying atheism. And I will start a thread proclaiming my abandon and adoption of your before trying belief, faith or religion, and will forever sell it on here. Go on, dare me! Atheist from you for one single minute is enough. 1 Like 1 Share |

budaatum:What you are oblivious of, is, in your atheism, which in itself, is a religion but stranger too, is that you actually are practising pure and true religion that is faultless and one that God approves of whilst be an atheist. It's amazing, isnt it. There is no escape from God, even in the belly of atheism, God is right there acknowleging you with a wink thrown in your direction, at you. 2 Likes |

Nope. But I totally got rid of Christianity from my life this year 2018 , though it had been mostly removed from my life over the past 5 years when I started my quest for the truth. What am I now ? closer to the definition of a deist. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

MuttleyLaff:How can you possibly describe buda as a religious person, muttley? Are you saying buda is so holy some god must be directing her, or are you working with a definition that differs to the following: religion noun the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. "ideas about the relationship between science and religion" synonyms: faith, belief, divinity, worship, creed, teaching, doctrine, theology; More a particular system of faith and worship. plural noun: religions "the world's great religions" a pursuit or interest followed with great devotion. "consumerism is the new religion" MuttleyLaff:Or did you just not bring your brain into 2019?Because last time I checked, the MuttleyLaff I know was more intelligent than this! 1 Like 2 Shares |

budaatum:Not yet 2019 when you posted your comment. Are you drunk? PS Football is a religion, ice hockey is a religion, fashion for some is a religion and atheism too funnily enough too is a religion.

MuttleyLaff:Ok, muttley. If you say so. I'm in a hot bath at the moment, worshipping the bubbles and practising religion. Maybe I should pray to them too and relate with them and have faith, belief, divinity, worship, creed, teaching, doctrine, theology et al with them too, while I'm at it!

MuttleyLaff:This is the point that you do that thing that makes me throw egg shell before you muttley. But it's 2019 now, a new dawn, and I'll try not to do whatever it is you said I do to you. You wouldn't believe how I burn in hell for losing patience with you, and I don't want to start the year burning! Happy New Year. And make sure we meet up before it ends! It would be good to kan e ni iko so you......... Meanwhile, look up the thread by kingebukasblog, I think, where he claimed atheism is a religion, and so titled. He got a drubbing you might want some of, or at least you'd learn my view of such nonsense. I wouldn't want you to go by way he and his disciples went in 2018, I am begging you, please. |

raptex:You can't rely on your rules , ideas and opinion alone if you want to be successful in this life. There is doctor there to provide you with medical advice for your medical condition, likewise , there is a lawyer there to give you legal advice either on your buisness or contract dealing. You can't set your own standard of rules without an expert guiding it. That will be a complete failure. Hopefully you aren't thinking to live in that direction. |
