God doesn't exist

He created Adam and Eve which were the first people ever created, Adam and Eve had children, their children had children, the children must have had sex with their mother and sisters

Another super story, a virgin got impregnated by a holy spirit, hahahahahahha

We have been waiting for the coming of the Lord Jesus for 1 million years now and he's still busy arranging for the flight that will take him to earth

If you don't believe in God, you will go to hell fire, what kind of fire is in there ?? It has been flaming for 6 million years now non stop and the people in it haven't turned to ashes ??

God loves his children, meanwhile he's sitting in his chair made of diamonds and gold and his children are on earth dying of starvation


Go tell that stupid story to primary school kids

I support you in this.

I'm an atheist too, but I believe this ASN is just an avenue for a few power-hungry atheists to have more power/influence over other atheists. This organization will be his/their voice to get attention and cause more conflict. This is not different from when someone declares God/Jesus spoke to him/her and starts a church and gathers followers. It's all a quest for power and control.
There is a radical, outspoken atheist on twitter that I used to follow until he blocked me. I will not be surprised if he's the main person (or one of the people) behind this ASN.
Exactly.

There you go again ,who is we? It is not pointless to me otherwise I would not mention it undecided.

I want to have public holidays that are relevant TO ME not based on moo sighting and such like.

The vision would be quite simple if you work for the Federal Government you would be entitled to X number of public holiday breaks in a year and you can use the how you like I do not see why Christians should stop working on Muslim Holidays ad vice versa. In fact as a Christian you could choose to use Your public holidays another time.So the point is to force governmennt to think of the cost of so many public holidays and strealine them keeping governmen running all through the year.
I understand all your points. I don't know how to get mine across to anymore. Maybe these posts will help.

LightandDarkness:
The MDCN was petitioned to discourage medical doctor's referring patients to faith healers (and validating faith healers) for health issues as this act has no basis in scientific, evidence-based medicine.

I applaud the formation of the atheist society of Nigeria as long as it purely remains a vehicle for humanist change in Nigeria and espouses humanist ideals. If it ever becomes less about that and more about the ideas and desires of a select few it becomes like the religious institutions we dislike.

And you that believe in god, tell that your god to grow the limb of an amputee

sorry, I did not biliv in god, I believe in God. get that, I don't folking care if you don't believe in God. God exists, when you die or any of your families dies, raise him up urself
. that your amputees, were they born that way?, definitely no. so if you by accident gets amputated, you will want the same God dat does not exist to u heal you. u r brain needs sterilization with very high temperature.

Some dude just sat somewhere...racked his brain and realised a cheap money making venture by creating an association for atheist. You guys should go and register....

Happy payment of monthly and yearly dues in advance....

My atheist friend doesn't believe in God cos he insults God and he never respond in addition every story about God isn't logical. But the foool somehow believes in the forces of darkness his ex-girlfriend used in jazzing him for jolting the babe after 7yrs of dating...

I really don't get how pple fear and consider the possibility of dark forces/powers but don't believe there's a corresponding opposite force....as for me...I would rather graduate with a first class or 2:1 than assume grades doesn't matter and all jobs are gotten with connections.
If their goal is to make money they will open a Church. Everyone can be a Christian any way. No one in his/her right mind see atheism as a money making venture, especially in Nigeria. And as for your Friend believing in Dark power, That's his opinion. Like someone said there is no manual on how atheists should act unlike religion.

If half of Nigerians are mentally intelligent enough to understand the logic of this, the country will be nearly out of mental and religious slavery!

But since 99% of Nigerians lack commonsense, it will take a long time - in the meantime they will continue to buy jets for pastors and imams, they will continue to use their brains less for science and practical development, and more on securing the fake-afterlife!


It isn't 99% there are a lot more agnostics and atheists around than most people recognize but there's a stigma to saying that religion is nonsense in Nigeria.

Thankfully times are changing and hopefully the power of the various religious organization will subside and allow for rational thought and progress to take hold. Nigeria needs it. We can all see what religion has caused in Nigeria, this petition is a good step in the right direction.

As someone who is irreligious i don't support this. We are not different from the religious institutions we condemn if we do this. We don't need a union or anything, In fact they is no "WE". The whole essence of being an Atheist is to be rational, To be logical, To be a freethinker. We don't need anyone to think for us not even fellow atheists. A science organization should petition the Medical society not the atheist. Soon the so called Atheist society would be marred in Bureaucracy typical Nigerian fashion, The higher ups would be honour and revere like pastors or religious leaders, The rest of the atheists will have no choice but to accept whatever decision the higher ups make. They would be seen as the representation of atheism in Nigeria. And then a new religion would be born, all what we have condemn. But all in all this is progress, only in the wrong manner.

I used to think like this before, maybe this is your point of view as an atheist but not all atheists should have the same point of view. Eradicating religion isn't our goal, Not mine at least.

There are different categories of people who gather under the cloak of atheism. There are intellectual atheists, reactionaries, substitutional atheists and militant aethists. Militancy is a most dangerous position of hate towards everything religious and a militant atheist is as deadly as a muslim fanatic, jewish zealot and a christian bigot!

where is seun..we should go and register

we must eradicate religion in this country..our people need to wake up..look at the northern part of nigeria..y'all know how under-develop that place is because of religion..they wont go to school rather they will cram all the verse in the quran...for what exactly? to recite to allah when they get to heaven?

look at the woman who just abandon her daughter simply because a 'man of God' told her daughter is a snake..that woman derseve to be flogged then the pastor need to be jailed..

we are years behind of other other countries simply because of religion.

i weep for africa..
and when you eradicate the only moral chain keeping people from becoming psycho nd engaging in crime without remorse, what then? is saudi arabia not dominated by islam? is America not 'Gods own state'? you thinking religion is the problem shouts the real problem. Blacks are a disease, Africans are still foolish. i hope for our sakes atheism doesnt succeed because this race of humans are just too dull to handle such freedom. Now just look at the damn north.they are natural fools. not of religion! its just natural.

smh. notice your use of 'can?' anybody can do evil. the benefit of religion is the conversion of notorious thieves like shina rambo nd co. religion puts a muzzle on you. can you ask yourself what is responsible for teaching our society morals today?
especially with the NEW WORLD ORGANIZATION'S agenda to reduce us to our basic instict by teaching the next generation they evolved from animals?
