This your comeback is neither here nor there. There's blunt honesty and constructive criticism which the "Jewish sheep" term you used doesn't fall into and the person you referred to didn't call you evil or hellbound or swine for being a humanist ( or anything you have convinced yourself you are)....

And anyone one that leaves his or her religion because of your ramblings on here wasn't religious to begin with.

First of all, FFK is a mad man. Opinions are like ass holes and everybody is entitled to one. Gates is not a demon. Only a misinformed fool will say such. Bill Gates has done more for humanity, African and even Nigeria than FFK could ever dream of. It's not every opinion of his that I find sensible. Some I do, some I find stupid. Hell, even some Americans protested against Gates, does their opinions reflect that of all Americans?


You said in the North? Let's tell ourselves the truth, Islam in that region is violent. People are forcefully converted to Islam. The ones converting from Islam to Christianity are slain or burned down. But in the South West, Islam is not practiced that way. What does that tell you? Do the math. This violent way is their way of life. Despite Saudi Arabia enforcing lockdown, some dumb Northern youths burned down police stations and vehicles for enforcing lockdown. These people are violent. Simple.

And Christianity is very liberal. I can argue that Christianity is one of the most liberal religion if not the most liberal one. Everyday, our God and religion are mocked and we don't go about killing people for it. Christianity in the time past were violent at some point but no more.

Of course, there are still some who would see non-believers as satanic, but most enlightened Christians in this modern age don't see them as one.

For me, as long as a religion is not harmful or causes bodily harm towards any human, people should believe or choose not to believe in what they want.

mekaprime:


So 5% or less for the whole of Nigeria is what you consider as eroding, that's alright.


.
Arguing with you or making you see reasons here can be likened to pouring water on a rock, cause you don't have an iota of knowledge on the subject matter you speak of. And how many Shrines did the pastors destroy? You're basing your knowledge of tradition, on Nollywood movies.... WTF.
I saw how you were sad when nobody headed your warnings on the Ogbunike counter thread you created, & when you expressed your displeasure, i just laughed.
As an advise to you, Christianity as a religion is very tolerant & forgiving, don't, i repeat, don't try this with tradition.


Once in 5 years is still very poor, but that's not the case. You basically have no knowledge of the customs & traditions of your people, am i wrong? It's not enough to travel home & not associate & break kola with your Kinsmen during your stay. You see, folks like you are actually part of the problem.

You're a typical evangelical internet atheist, lol.

It's amusing in light of the fact that your kind battle religion as ardently as evangelicals push their strict beliefs on others.

You remind me of me when I was passing through an angst phase during my teenage years. I viewed myself as an atheist, and would not spare a moment to forcefully assault the doctrines of Christians and Muslims alike. To put it plainly, I was a proper equal-opportunity evangelical internet atheist. In any case, people evolve, and in like manner, I grew out of that emo stage, thank God.

You're apparently still stuck in an emo stage in your old age, and it makes me sad. I say this with compassion, but you need to grow the fvck up.

whitelotus:


You evolved? Should I quote your previous comments on how you insulted me with every vulgarity possible like a drunken sailor? When you copied my pantie washing jibe at ornicus, that was mature?

Lord hypocrite, don't let me get angry this night.

I came to nairaland for one purpose. To educate people on the excesses of religion. So far, the result has been pleasing for me. Go to the religion section. There is a stickied thread called "the non-religious thread". That thread was kept there as a result of my consistent pressure on the mods that non-religious people needed their own special thread if christians got theirs. You know how hard that was because everyone knows how pompous nairaland mods can be.

DandeNummeruno:


Lol, I was just messing around. It's called trolling, which I haven't done in a while.

Don't make me laugh Mr Man. Your evangelical kind give non-confrontational atheists a bad name. Statistically, atheists are less inclined to specify their skepticism than theists are to make reference to their belief in a higher power.

Many atheists even think religion is an extraordinary, and instrumental part of society that they would never want to see cease to exist, but they just don't have any personal stake in any religion.

Quit talking shit.

whitelotus:



Well, there are different kinds of atheists.

whitelotus:



Ogbeni, talk what you know. I have a village too, you know. There is no shrine in my village. The only one that managed to exist was one that was after a river. No one bothered to travel the river just to get to a shrine. Hunger probably killed the local jazzman. Even the word "shrine" in Nigeria has a negative connotation

I mentioned Nollywood movies to point out the mentality surrounding local shrines in Nigeria. I was not using it as evidence of destruction. Please, I believe that your IQ is higher than this

Is this a low IQ moment or what? Why would you laugh at my pain? A pain brought up by the sadness that many Nigerians cannot use their sense to avoid danger? A sadness for the sad state of my people? What is funny about creating awareness for people subscribing to dangerous journeys?

One thing I despise in igbo culture is the fact that some people travel to village to show off during christmas annually. AMAKA WHY??!! 9 hours drive from Lagos to East to do nothing but eat and flaunt your riches? I hope you are not one of those people.

pryme:


So what is your definition a good plot (mind you for an all out action thriller)?
As far as am concern Extraction has a very simple plot, simple does not mean its weak.

from the John Wicks to the Mad Maxs, Raids, Dredds, you need a very simple plot and intense action, simple plots have done the magic for action packed movies for years, same with video games.
if you only watch movies because plots stick to drama series.

whitelotus:



I'm happy that you were honest in this assessment.

There are still other problems aside violence. While I will agree that modern christianity is not violent as compared to the religion of peace, there is still the issue of prosperity preaching and brainwashing of masses.

But I will not divert into that topic today. Lets leave it at that. Your honesty struck me.

Beorn:


@emboldened shouldn't be an avenue to disparage Christians that believe in prosperity preaching because I don't see how that is tantamount to violence. People worship trees, it might not go down well with you and I, but it's their choice, and once it's not causing you body harm, let them have their right to their religious beliefs.

As a Christian, I give offerings but not tithes. I instead help the poor I see out there in the streets. That's how I choose to give my tithes. I believe that giving it to them is me also giving to God. But another Christian might choose to give tithes to his pastor. That's his choice. I'm not better than him neither is he better than me. Whether they are gullible or not, you can choose to enlighten them without insulting them. Because if you're insulting or disparaging while trying to give him advice, he will barely listen to you.

Manner of approach matters a lot.

DandeNummeruno:


Indeed.

whitelotus:



I never insulted you, did I?

Stop this tone policing, abeg.

It is hard to admit but the truth is that religious people dont like their religion criticised.

Beorn:


I don't give a phuck if you insulted me, my religion or not, na your own problem be that; my butting into the discussion was to concur that atheists that I've known insults people's religions a lot and that's a fact.

oga dont come and act like religious people dont insult atheists,you guys even go as far as threatening them with eternal damnation.your hypocrisy is sickening,trust me whitelotus neva even insult una,i go soon start.

whitelotus:


Wow. This ranks as the silliest atheist post that I have read.

How does atheism make you an active participant in your life instead of being a victim of it?

Ascribing things to atheism that have nothing do with it.

You're not an atheist. Internet evangelical atheist are not real atheists. You and your ilk are just a motley crew of internet bullies. Y'all are bleating victims of atheism. I feel nothing but pity for y'all.

DandeNummeruno:


It's ridiculous to you because it hits home.

Whingeing about religion all the time makes you a bleating victim of atheism, in light of the fact that at the core, atheism isn't anti-religion.

You're lost, bruv.

whitelotus:



So, you now live in my house abi? Do you think that I talk about religion al the time?

Furthermore, can you explain how atheists like Richard Dawkins, Robert Ingersoll etc are all whiners since they criticize religion?

Furthermore, homosexuality has never been an issue in Nigerian cultures. It was ignored. If you dont believe me, kindly tell me the punishment for homosexuality in your igbo culture if it were criminalised
