kmcutez: @Logicboy, the most moral people I have met were atheist or rather close to atheism, and the most devious were christians.

My survival guard always goes up around christians. There is nothing christlike with 99.9% of them, esp the ones on nairaland. They should be named devilians.

See how they profess christ, meanwhile their mouths abi na hands, is worse than a septic tank.



Reminds me of Ghandi's saying;

@Logicboy, you will be surprised at how morally bankrupt and deviant @Neddivine will be in the real world. He fits the M.O if you know what I mean.

Those that preach fire and brimstone are the worst. They make satan look like an angel.

Although I am usually too careful to make behavioural distinctions along religious lines, as I believe that there are maybe other factors that contribute to one's moral standing, I cannot just help but note the fact that based on personal experiences (and believe me, I've got loads), I have repeatedly found the above to be true, so much that it's become worrisome. I live in a country where "God" means nothing to the vast majority. Still, the people are probably the most honest anyone would ever come across in their life time. As for Nigeria, we all know that the situation is the exact opposite. But that's somewhat beside the point.

I have also come to find that I suddenly become wary of people the moment I discover the depth of their religious inclinations. In fact, my observations have also led me to discover that the liberal Christians (a.k.a unserious/nominal Christians) generally tend to be more morally upright than the deeply religious ones (a.k.a 'spirikoko'). Where I live, there are a couple of Nigerians as well, and again, the observation is that the ones that attend church the most among them (midweek, Sundays, special programs, etc) are often the ones whose behaviours are most appalling.

The other day, one of them who constantly tries to preach to me and persuade me to attend church with them, had lured a teenage girl to his room supposedly to "discuss" the word of God with her. She is an atheist, and he wanted to make her see the light. Long story short (according to the girl), he started to grope her and the poor girl was terrified that she demanded that the "discussion" continued outside the room. And this guy is one whom I used to think was one of the better Christians among them because of his calm and friendly approach. This is just one of many other sick stories among the religious circle. Initially, it used to come as a shock to me when I learned of their escapades, but not anymore.

It almost seems as if the religion acts as a cover or smokescreen for their dark side, and that the less evil/immorality you care to hide or indulge in, the less religious one tends to be.

This por.n thing appears to be another common denominator with these fellows. Either that, or it's mastur.bation. Often times, it's both.

Not that I have any problems with either act anyway, it's just the hypocrisy that really irks me.

Many of them are se.xually repressed while claiming to be virgins or against premarital sex. This is why many of them are later caught pants down like hypocrites

Neddivine: Nonsense.You watch porn,support gay relationship or probably gay yourself,maybe you support bestiality and child porn (cos u atheists have no standard).You are free to fight,kill,seduce,steal and all what not and at the end u give a needy person a helping hand and score/applaud yourself as of good morals.U'll realise too late that there's hardly any true morals outside christ & that christianity(not judaism) among many religions have the highest standard of righteousness even if majority of followers do not adhere to them.I don't regard the evil replies of atheists & only answer them when I deem it necessary.

It's people like you who make me feel relieved that I no longer identify myself as a Christian or a religious person.
Just incredible...

lol @ sniper mode. grin

My deconversion story is an uninteresting one, because there's no story to begin with. Nothing dramatic, no tragedy in my family, no disappointments of any sorts, etc. For me, it was just kind of like a Eureka! moment. The transition, I'd say started around 2006/7. Started with doubts, questioned stories in the bible e.g. garden of Eden, tower of Babel, etc. Transition was quite typical though - Serious Christian -> Liberal Christian -> Deist -> Agnostic -> Agnostic atheist (of course, I'd rather avoid these labels altogether). In fact, I'd say the transition is still on, as I constantly re-evaluate my position from time to time. For instance, I saw the movie, Cloud Atlas, last night and while the rational part of me dismissed the whole concept (reincarnation) as nonsense, I still found myself wondering, "what if..?"

In short, the whole thing just stopped making sense to me. I can't exactly pinpoint to the "what" that made me to start disbelieving. One thing though, is that I have always been very curious, even as a kid. Once, I asked my mom who created God and the response I got was "shut up!". I have always questioned stories in the bible and practices in Christianity for as long as I remember but as a Christian, I learned to just accept even if it seemed senseless because my understanding, I was told, was "limited". After all, God's ways are not our ways. Thinking of it now, probably I was never really a Christian (NL Christians would so love to hear that cheesy ), maybe I have always been an unbeliever who simply tried too hard to be a Christian. Although in my Christian days, if anyone told me I'd ever stop believing, I'd have thought them mad, absolutely mad. So I guess the transition was just a bolder me coming to terms with the questions I've always had in my mind and seeking to address them once and for all.

Interesting.. Thanks..
Same experience here. The reevaluations are necessary. Jayrigial's definition of atheism made me more receptive to the term. Sometimes, I wonder if there's something more to life. If there's, it's done a good job hiding itself..

Indeed, there may be more to life. Something might have created this world quite alright. But I'm bloody damn sure nobody knows whatever this thing or things are; we all just speculate. And some speculations are far more ridiculous than others.

Good to see an atheist acknowledge that atheists are s.exually refreshed because they are free to explore all abominable s.exual habits since there is no God to question them.Gay relationship,bestiality,deviant child molestation,group n party sex,orgies and all what not.Go ahead and be refreshed for God does not exist.

Once an individual wilfully and continuosly yields to sins against Gods warnings demons take over and next he will conjure up excuses to justify godlessness.People like above make me proud to be a hard core heaven bound christian even when demons speaking thru humans cry foul.

You don't have problem with either acts means u accept them.u probably indulge in them like all atheists are free to do and are free to explore all ungodly acts since there is no God.Who is the hypocrite here.

u can use examples of backslidden xtians that are about the same state as atheists to condemn christianity.When the so called xtian u mentioned above made such ungodly moves was he following the teaching of Christ.Did he represent xtianity and its holy teachings that moment.Are there not many examples of xtians that lived godly xtian lives.U won't know them cos u don't flock with them.u flock with ur likes.Are there not numerous examples of atheists that live far more abominable horrible lives.Show me that country that is largely atheists but honest and pure and holy.It only exists in ur imaginations.U are reasoning with kids.
