If as atheists say, God doesn't exist and life has no ultimate meaning, why then do they get so passionate when it comes to fighting biblical Christianity? Why do they care?

They need to convince themselves.

The rest are just angry at people, God(the one who should not exist) and everything that reminds them of God

first off, "Biblical Christianity" is a meaningless term cuz I'm pretty sure you're a "biblical Christian" and many other christian sects are not "biblical Christians" *according to you*

now to the main question

What country do you live in? I'm going to assume you're in Nigeria like most other people here. When most of the population is Christian in one form or another it means that they're the ones most likely for us to run into on a daily basis. It's a numbers game really when you get down to it.

But you can also think of it this way. When was the last time a Jew came to your door, gave you a pamphlet and asked you to join their congregation? When was the last time a Buddhist stood on a street corner and yelled at everybody that they were all going to be punished if they didn't repent and follow the ways of the Buddha? When was the last time a Muslim got offended because you didn't pray towards Mecca five times a day like he had?

I'm going to assume that the answers to that is zero. Now the last time a Christian came to my door, gave me a pamphlet and wanted me to join their congregation was literally LAST NIGHT when some Jehova's Witnesses came by. I told them I was Jewish, which I'm not, and they left rather quickly. When was the last time a Christian stood on a street corner and said I and everybody else was going to hell if we didn't repent of our sins and convert to Christianity? That was TODAY as I was out and about getting stuff done and had to go downtown. And when was the last time a Christian got offended because I didn't say grace before eating my lunch? That was TWO DAYS AGO at a dinner on Monday. According to her I need to thank God for my food before eating it. I told her to mind her own business because it doesn't involve her.

I haven't even talked about witnessing Christians ridiculing one another many times, face to face, and even on these very pages. I've seen articles written by Christians about other Christians. They can get pretty nasty about it.

In truth, I have no problem with a person's religion or religious views until they take it upon themselves to try and push it on me. I've got close friends that are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and one really weird one who likes to say he's a Pagan and I don't have problem with them cuz they don't get in my face. You can wear purple robes eat cardboard and worship the almighty chia pet in your home or church and I have no problem with what you believe. The minute you think that because you worship the almighty chia pet you can pass laws and restrict the rights of others and everyone must join you in doing whatever you do, then I have a problem with your beliefs. You don't like how people live their lives because it is not how the almighty chia pet wants you to live your life? take a clue from the Amish go isolate yourself somewhere and leave everyone else alone.

So what it comes down to is so long as you pray in your own way and don't try to get in my face and don't try to push your beliefs into the secular world I've got no issue with you or any other religious dude. And this counts for most atheists I've met as well.

Honestly it's like fighting the idea of Tom and Jerry. We all know it ain't real, but Tom and Jerry ain't forced on people in schools. You can see pastors fighting to have the CRK in school curriculum . They are ready to Christianised Nigeria, meaning this God ideology of yours must be accepted and imposed on the younger generations at all cost.

Imagine having a mosque in front of your house and be woken up from your restful sleep regularly by some irrelevant noises from imams, how would you feel ? Being harassed by Christian who feel they must convert you in order to have stars on their crowns in heaven. This is what irreligious people face from your cult everyday ? How dare you question why they criticise your god at every given opportunity?

However, some Atheists are jobless and nairaland is their office. I will not mention names . They know themselves . They are probably here already

Atheism is NOT the rejection of religion neither is it religious skepticism . Anyone can be religious , both atheists and theists .

Atheism is just empty and your post is a complete waste of space .

pls help me add this. When did a Christian disturb me in my workplace that I should support their ministry with money? That was last two week till yesterday, but I refused to give such money because I have decided to stop giving the beggar god of the xtians my money. When last did they judge me for not paying that money to their god? That was yesterday when they came and showed me what other people have written in their begging card and the money they have paid to fulfill their promise.

However, I am not an atheist, but the Op should edit the topic and say, WHY DO ATHEISTS AND THINKERS AND BRAIN USERS BOTHER?

I bother because Christians disturb me with noise and begging.

Muafrika2:

Yes, they know He exists but are trying hard to believe that they don't believe He exists. I call that intellectual schizophrenia.

you can divide religion into two aspects. The personal aspect and the Civic aspect.

The Civic aspect says that the whole town much engage in a religious activity in order for the town to be blessed or saved from some calamity.

Civic aspect believes that what your neighbour is doing in the privacy of his bedroom can have a serious influence on the fortunes of your business.

To the extent that you believe that your fortunes depends on what another person believes you will become an obnoxious influence in society.
It'll become imperative that you change their beliefs in order to improve your fortunes.


Many christians believe that they must be obnoxious and poke nose inside other people's affairs because that will improve their chances of going to heaven. They make a public nuisance of themselves because they believe that they are incurring God's favour by doing so.

It follows that when people react to their obnoxiousness they moan and go into Martyr mode. 'poor me, and my poor god, so oppressed, so victimised'.

@op,

Jeez!!! This question has been answered almost "a million times" on Nairaland? Why would you ask the question again? Many people on Nairaland are beginning to question your mental health status!!! Are you for real?

1.Belief in god is what makes women get stoned in Saudi Arabia!!! It is a barbaric practice!!!

2.Belief in god is what "made" widows in India to be burnt alive, beside the corpse of their husband!!!(It does not happen any longer)

3.Belief in god is what makes people get killed simply for eating beef!!!

4.Belief in god is what prevents little kids from receiving life-saving blood transfusions!!!

5.Belief in god is what makes humans to eat grass like goats!!!

6.Belief in god is what makes adults to expose little children to venomous snakes!!!

7.Belief in god is what makes people drink rat poison!!!

8.Belief in god created "Dora the Exploder(The muslim version of Dora the Explorer)!!!

9.Belief in god is what makes Africans to drink petrol!!!

and 10.Belief in god is what makes people to "chew torn pant"!!!

The people that you refer to as "atheists" see the harm that religion has caused and they are concerned about what is happening to their religious brothers and sisters!!! How can you still be asking such questions after so many years on Nairaland?

Why do psychiatrist bother with the delusions of psychotics if they are just delusions?

3. Religion is unregulated.
4. deceit
5. nuisance
Etc.

Atheist will not attack a real Christian......stop the offering, tithe, seed of faith, sacrificial giving, first fruit etc. then feed the congregation with bread and fish, cure them all and make them go home with left over food when ever they gather to hear you preach like Jesus Christ did.....

Bang!!!!!!

Contrast is a powerful way of seeing the better side of things . Its great that you had a taste of the two sides and this has made you appreciate Christianity more . Intelligence vs Vacuity , Logic vs Inanity , Wisdom vs Foolishness , I mean I understand why abjuring atheism has made you a better Christian .

God bless you

Which one Be Biblical Christian? Old testament abi New one

Nonsense based out of bias, as usual.

Others have had a taste of Christianity and moved on to Islam or Buddhism, how does your concept of "Contrast" apply there?
Which side would you deem better in those cases?

You've not even determined what urheme meant by "he was an atheist" maybe it was based off of ignorance or the usual illogical past personal hate for god like in the "God's Not Dead Movie"

He became an atheist and reverted to Christianity that's where the concept of contrast was applied . He could see the difference between the two : it is apparent Christianity is way better and he now appreciates Christianity more than ever .

You haven't changed even after being away for a long time . I expected something much better than this bro
