In most cases its not really the fear of discrimination, its the associated stress- the stress of constant arguments, stress of trying to enlighten them, stress of dealing with the many prayer warriors/prayer meetings/deliverances they would hold on your behalf, etc. I am somewhat open about my religious views and I know the stress its brought upon me, sometimes its just not worth it. I do believe what you say about marriage but the truth is the statistics are not in our favour, which is why marriage for me would be a ''miracle'' (in my 24 years of existence I have only met one somewhat atheist man, and he happens to be married).

What i hate to deal with most is the group dicussion on how devil has overcome my heart and the deliverance process to remove it behind my back and that expression on their eyes that they are better than me or worst of all using u to preach to a congregration dat knows nothing about u.I know it happens.
All I wish for is to open their head put all the fact there and sew it up literally.

I also was able to meet a married man who isn't an atheist,a christian and he said 'I respect ur belief no matter what they are and I won't try to change u'
How i love those words and kept them close to my heart.the sweetest words ever.

lol. It would be very difficult to prevent your kids from learning about religion in school in Nigeria unless your kids are raised abroad or you plan to home school your kids. I remember religious study was madatory Subject from my primary 1 to my jss 3. Also you are right that you might have problem with your husband family if they are uneducated and religious fanatics because in some part of Nigeria, atheists are label as Anti-christ or Satan worshipers.

I can easily ask them not to be thaught.I know some schools allowz dis but like i said it solely depends on them and if they are taught i will personally teach them the history and dogma of religion.

Some part of Nigeria?nope its all part.Even the ones seeming not to take any stand on religion are the first to defend their religion I.e non church or mosque goers.

If they are all striped of their religion they are left with NOTHING.quite sad anyway I never thought humans can be so SHALLOW

voltron:


hardly.. if it was then surely you must admire the effort it took to manage 2 accounts with qualitative postings.. my last post had a generous sprinkle of sarcasm.. meaning you are better off saving your effort for more serious threads

Mine also had a tone of sarcasm u dint get.

rinrin23:


I too fear what the future would be like. How would I find a life partner with as much intellect and reasoning as I, how would I raise my kids, what kind of persucution/struggles my kids would go through for being/thinking different.

But I take comfort in the fact that change is constant, and the way this Age of Information is affecting our society for the better. Soon, sometime in the nearest future (I hope) society would look back at its 'primitive' thinking and laugh and learn from it. After all the world's greatest nations/societies went through their own Dark Ages, we are simply going through ours.

Truthfully i don't see this happening in the nearest future.hopefully we found our heart desires but if not cheers to many years of pretense ahead.as the case of my future children if possible i will teach them d history and science of the world they are in from early age cos i don't want anybody poisining their mind that their mother is the devil incarnate.if possible they won't take any religious study tho the choice fully lies on them.but as it is now the future looks bleak.I geuss i should stop thinking about the future and enjoy the moment cos nobody knows what the future holds.

Atheism does not make sense.

Religion is totally rubbish

It takes a mile with him a journey you will complete in 2 steps.. do you really want to go that far?

I can attest to this.the fact that i am female even makes it worst cos they think i shouldn't av any reasonable thought.what I fear is the future will I be able to continue under this pretense.I hope I found someone with likemind.being an atheist in this society is just when u are the only sober person in a car and nobody allows u to drive

Really? your conscience automatically teach you good morals without some religious undertone.Please is there any place that your conscience refers to in supporting your moral life style or does the morality just pop up fr nowhere and guide your daily living.
Meanwhile do you have any other special reason for abandoning the idea of God?

In point of fact, we humans are a lot like animals and a number of other species have demonstrated that they have something that looks like a rudimentary conscience and a rudimentary system of morals. It has, for example,been observed that chimpanzees will exhibit what appears to be fear and shame when they do something that violates the rules of its group. Should it be assumed that the chimpanzee fears God? Or is it instead more likely that such feelings should develop in social animals?
It's not a surprise that something like this would evolve naturally. Morals are, basically, the rules by which our social groups function. They ensure that things are reasonably fair and that relationships run reasonably smoothly. Social groups simply wouldn't survive without rules, so the evolution of the ability to create and follow rules should be expected. Humans are social animals so it's also to be expected that, like other social animals, we would have social rules which regulate group behavior. We certainly don't need gods to explain it.

Nice thoughts but apart from the fact that there is much treats associated with religion especially christainity and Islam. Don't you think that some of the values and morality taught in religion is good and should be adhered to even without being under the treat of eternal condemnation.

Because it teaches moral doesn't mean it is right.I have my conscience i don't need religion

When i started thinking i became an atheist
