I don't believe atheism is a belief system. I mean, yes there might be some atheistic religions out there, but atheism is not just the lack of belief in God or gods. It is also a lack of belief in concepts like karma, the lotus flower, the dharma wheel etc (known e.g in an atheistic religion like Buddhism).

And to be fair, I don't think I've ever deliberately tried to convince others. To be honest, I just don't care if someone is a Christian, Buddhist, Muslim or even worships the spaghetti monster, which is why I rarely participate in those kind of debates.

As long as you're not hurting anyone, trying to preach to me or coming up with myths and claiming they are facts, we're good.

Unfortunately, some won't just let you be. I mean, look at this one

whitelotus:



Okay, then answer this then-

WHAT DO ATHEISTS BELIEVE IN?

Sunnystooth:

Hey,

Do you have female friends that are irreligious like you?

Iloveu2:


That they are atheist. Just to start with. Or don't you believe you are an atheist?

whitelotus:



I am an atheist

fieryy:


janettee

Sunnystooth:

Lolz, I don't mean virtual friends.

Real, everyday friends that you go out with or visits you from time to time like most girls do.

fieryy:


Lol...yeah, I do.

Sunnystooth:



Yayyyy!

Hopefully, some of us Nairaland's single irreligious guys would get connections to some of your friends if they're still single and searching though... lolz

fieryy:


janhhettee

fieryy:

What? How? They are in Germany lol

Sunnystooth:

Lolz, I don't mean virtual friends.

janettee:


Yes ma

janettee:

She's my real friend na.

Sunnystooth:

LMAO... So they don't and can't date Nigerians that ain't in Germany huh?

fieryy:


That'd be a long ass distance relationship. I'm sorry, I can't really help in that regards. Janettee is the only Nigerian female friend I have, but even she is in Germany and isn't single

Sunnystooth:

Eyah,
the purpose of this thread is almost defeated.

Lol.

Long distance relationships ain't fun, although there are ways one could work around it.

janettee:

Sunnystooth:

Lolz,
don't tell me she's trying to shield you from all these able Naija Irreligious Bachelors by saying you ain't single oh...

janettee:
OP, aren't you open to dating Christians?

janettee:


Apart from fierry, my other Nigerian female friends are Christians.

They are just 2 anyway.

Most Nigerians here are still religious sha. It's hard to meet atheists or agnostics who are Nigerians.

janettee:

She's actually right about me not being single.

fieryy:


You and who?

ashewoboy:





let's chat via mail. I have some other discussions I wanna have with you and I don't want it to be made public.

Danhumprey:
That sounds like opening up to a life of misery.

Iloveu2:
Hence what is it that makes you an atheist?

Sunnystooth:

Hmmm, interesting.

If you were still in Nigeria, do you think you'd have been an outspoken irreligious person like you are now?

Danhumprey:
That sounds like opening up to a life of misery.
