I'm been brought up in a very religious home, even most people address my father as a man of God because of his devotion in Christ which he tried to embed in his family but I noticed I'm the only one who's not really touched.

Honestly it all started when I was 13 or so (I think very much to the extent I come to a halt, my parents complain about it though), there's this thought that always comes to my head that questions the act of religion.

Like; Is it really necessary believing?
         Is it genuine been a religious
        person?
        Am I sinning if I'm not religious?

All these thoughts cloud my head, ever since my Dad fell sick (2017) I've not really been indulging in any church activity.

I keep thinking, if my father was that devoted and still he fell ill to stroke, why didn't God give him a sound health?
Even my mom who hustle and prays, why has he not answered her prayer?
Why is everything really falling apart or does God forsakes his servants?

It became much worse when I started residing with my uncle, here I don't go to church at all and no one's saying shit about it, so am not bothered.

I've not shared my thoughts towards religion with anyone, I don't think they'll understand me so I decided I share it on this forum.

My dear, you have scaled the most difficult part.. Un learning the bull shiit they fed us with why growing up.. The next step is to first know who you are..
The truth is we are all divine beings having a human experience or walking a human path.. Find your path.., the catch is that it has to be for the betterment of humanity..

religion is all base on judgment. Ie the day of the judgment if you believe in life after death then religious is the way for you to know what to do and what not to do. Basically all religions teach same thing. Just fine one and follow it's teaching with proof in reality.
I do suggest Islam.
but if you don't believe in life after death then it is on to you and your life.
Thinks critically.

Yes. Thanks to the maker as the seed as being sowed by your dad, as you fill bothered on the religion. Your dad was sick, Steven saw his death brother great men of God saw there dead but the joy is the know where the are going.
The big question is if I die now where am I going... The thought of not living for God will never leave you because the existence of an Almighty Creator (God) cannot escape man's heart of thought so if this thought link to an existence then there is a faith call the christain faith which originate from Christ the saviour. Wether you believe or not do not count but the will of God is that non should perish but if a fool decides to be give him wine that he may be lost.
Don't be a lost ship

Have you ask yourself what Christianity is all about? This is the first step. secondly, I believe you have the bible, read through it starting from John, kneel down and ask God for revelation of himself. Note you can only know God through a revelational knowledge. Becoming a Christian is not about acting religious but to know God and Jesus Christ.

You are learning that fairytales have no answer to life's problems. Instead you need to focus on your education and building yourself up to achieve your goals and dreams. As you do so make sure to help your family, support your mum especially in this trying period where your dad is incapacitated. Go out, do something and make something of yourself.

CAN YOU BELIEVE I STARTED ASKING THESE QUESTIONS FROM A YOUNG AGE OF 7? YES A LOT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME EVEN AS A CHILD.
YOU HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO AND THESE THINGS ARE CAPABLE OF DISTRACTING YOU FROM A LOT THAT YOU CAN GET IF YOU DON'T KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. YOU'RE GONNA LOSE LOVE AND ATTENTION FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL THINK YOU'RE MAD. IF YOU'RE STILL DEPENDANT A LOT COULD GO WRONG FOR YOU SO IT'S BETTER YOU STAY ON THE LOW AND GROW INTO ATHEISM LIKE WE ALL DID.
WITH TIME NONE OF THESE WILL BOTHER OR MAKE YOU SCARED AND WORRIED, AND YOU'LL JUST LAUGH ABOUT THESE FAIRY TALES, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT RELIGIOUS BELIEFS ARE.

ALSO, IGNORE THESE PEOPLE TRYING TO BRAINWASH YOU FURTHER. YOU'RE ALREADY LEAVING RELIGION, THERE'S NO POINT TURNING BACK.

It's good that you're confronting your doubts about religion. I respect anyone who is brave enough to question the beliefs they were brought up with for it's merits. I was similar to you once upon a time. I was brought up in a christian household and was force fed Christianity like another normal Nigerian child. I had always had questions, but the answers i got weren't satisfactory. Things really began when i got access to the internet (around 2007) and i got exposed to different Ideas and knowledge. I started seeing more and more the flaws in my faith until i eventually lost my faith.

Contrary to what you might have been told, it's OK to question things. If something is true, it will withstand objective scrutiny. Religion constantly tells you how the wisdom of man is flawed, but it's one of the best tools we had. So one of the first things i feel you should do is browse up on logical reasoning and logical fallacies. This will help train your ability to reason and discern information (it's a skill that can be learnt). I recommend you watch these atheist you tube channels : Cosmic skeptic, Holly Koolaid, Genetically modified skeptic. You should still also read the bible and listen to what ever preacher you want.
Pls understand me, the point is not to make you an atheist, but to encourage you to think and expose yourself to different ideas. If at the end your faith is strengthened then fine, but if not then that's ok.

In all cultures and traditions on planet earth, people welcome and treat strangers well because we need neighbours to do so many things.

So Jesus' true followers will find you, but take note of these three necessary virtuous attributes.

(1)When someone leaves the comfort of his home, to pay you a visit IN THE NAME OF GOD. Never treat them badly!

(2)There are many things God wants to tell you that's why humans pass information to humans, so listen carefully to the presentation of anyone who comes to you IN THE NAME OF GOD!

(3) Because of the evil perpetrated by the so called religious people, many have developed a special kind of hatred towards GOD, so ask simple and sincere questions about how humans can live together with LOVE JOY and PEACE. Only God can provide a satisfying answer to that question! Hence only his TRUE servants (Worshipers) have the answer!

God bless you!

of them that Hate Me.

(3) ATHEIST PROPAGANDA ALONE STATES THAT CHRISTIANITY IS BASED ON THE BLIND BELIEF OF UNPROVEN MYTHS: FALSE CHRISTIAN "OPPONENTS" OF ATHEISM SAY AND DO NOTHING TO DISPROVE THAT NOTION.

Whereas, in Reality, OYINBO CHRISTIANS and OYINBO ATHEISTS are ALL ON THE SAME TEAM TOGETHER! They only PRETEND to be FIGHTING. In Reality, they are WORKING TOGETHER to DESTROY the TRUE Christianity.

4. Hear, O Israel:
The LORD our God
is one LORD:
5. And thou shalt love
The LORD thy God
with all thine Heart,
and with all thy Soul,
and with all thy might.
6. And these Words,
which I Command thee this day,
shall be in thine heart:
7. And thou shalt teach Them
diligently unto thy children,
and shalt talk of Them
when thou sittest
in thine house,
and when thou walkest
by the way,
and when thou liest down,
and when thou risest up.
8. And thou shalt bind Them
for a sign upon thine hand,
and they shall be as frontlets
between thine eyes.
9. And thou shalt write Them
upon the posts of thy house,
and on thy gates.

YOUR FATHER HAD ONE MAJOR JOB: TO TEACH HIS CHILDREN THE LAW OF GOD.

This becomes the Foundation of The Fundamental Spiritual Powers- which destroy all foolish questions before they begin.

1. TOTAL RECALL.
2. EXTRASENSORY PERCEPTION.
3. TELEKINESIS.

shall not depart
out of thy mouth
but thou shalt meditate
therein day and night,
that thou mayest do
according to all
that is written therein:
for then thou shalt
make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have
Good Success."

YAHWEH GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND THE HUMAAN RACE- THE LAW OF MOSES IS THE VERBAL EXPRESSION OF THE HOLY KEYS TO CREATION.

If you understand The Law of God by Moses, you will Understand ALL CREATION to the extent of being able to CONTROL IT WITH YOUR SOUL.

That Understanding can ONLY be achieved through MEDITATION ON THE LAW OF GOD BY MOSES.

Organized Oyinbo Colonial/Imperialist Oppressor Churches CANNOT AFFORD TO ALLOW THEIR MEMBERS TO KNOW THAT MEDITATION EXISTS.

That is because THEY CANNOT CONTROL Christians who achieve what God calls "GOOD SUCCESS." MEDITATION IN THE LAW is THE ONLY WAY to ACHIEVE It.

If there were another Way, GOD WOULD HAVE TOLD US.

(4) WHEN YOU BELONG TO A CHURCH THAT DENIES LORD YESHUA'S TEACHINGS, GOD DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR STATE OF HEALTH!

Your father told you that those privately Praying for people suffering Strokes, and those who Testified of Healing and receiving Healing of Strokes were "FANATICS."

Therefore, when he was in danger of Stroke, God would not help him.

Even my mom who hustle and prays, why has he not answered her prayer?

(5) HOW MANY PEOPLE DID YOUR MOTHER HEAL OF STROKE- OR ANYTHING AT ALL?

None. Obviously.

This is a really stupid question: you are hiding what Church your family belongs to, (NONE, OBVIOUSLY!) You tell us nothing about your mother's PRAYER TECHNIQUE. Then you expect us to magically understand WHY YOUR MOM'S PRAYERS ARE USELESS!

I possess such magic.

I have been a BORN AGAIN, "HOLY GHOST BAPTIZED," FULL GOSPEL CHRISTIAN for FORTY YEARS- my expertise in Biblical Christianity is UNPARALLELED. I operate on a level of Wisdom, Understanding, and Knowledge no other Christian in the English-speaking World has achieved.

I know everything I need to know about your alleged Family to know why your Religion does not work.

GOD COMMANDED YOUR PARENTS TO TEACH YOU WHAT YOU ARE NOW IGNOMINIOUSLY BEGGING STRANGERS TO TELL YOU: THEY DID NOT DO THAT; THAT IS CALLED INIQUITY, THAT IS, DELIBERATE SIN!

First:
One of the "wrongest" misrepresentation of the gospel is that when you become "born again", your problems become solved and that you will be immuned to life's calamities. NO!

Second: Does God Really exist?
1. Everything natural/physical things has a beginning!
2. Order and Systems can never come out of randomness!
3. It takes ordered energy to create order and Systems.
4. A system cannot self assemble or occur by chance.
4. Whatever made the Universe must be outside the Universe and certainly not made of natural/physical things

God is a SPIRIT: a conscious being not made up of matter.

Third:
The universe was made as a garden for God. Humans are the peak of His creations (Union of Physical and Spiritual). Gods desire is to select out of the billions of humans a select few who meet His criteria to be worthy of an everlasting status as "sons of God".

Fourth:
The world is a big exam field for selection of those who successfully executed the will of God out of their own FREE WILL!

Note: Am not bad, just need to rub mind with adults.


Your dad is not the only Christian.
Many Christians have had much worse illnesses.
Some Christian families have been wiped out in mass killings. Your family is nothing special.
God's existence should not be determined by everyday occurrences that just happened to hit your dad.
I am sure you didn't question God's existence when you heard about the holocaust, or the Rwanda genocide, or the sosoliso crash. It just had to be your father's stroke.

Know one thing, you don't really matter.
If your Grandfather had married someone else, you and your father would easily not have existed, and no one would've noticed.

So minds can exist separate from a physical body?
Our frame of reference isn't the same.
To you, the mind is the Hardware_Brain that runs the body.
For me, the mind is the Software_Brain that runs the body.

A straightforward question requires a straightforward answer. Do you believe minds can exist without physical bodies?

I started with our basic differences. You can't ignore that to proceed asking mundane questions when we aren't on the same page.

You'll need to assent or dissent this before mindlessly proceeding to asking your misplaced question.

We do not need to be on the same page for you to answer in a straightforward manner. Your reluctance speaks volumes.

To answer a question based on a wrong premise!?
And you think that's sensible?

Let me give you an example.

If you feel that this question is reasonable,then your question is as reasonable.(this is an example of a question based on wrong premise). The question may be simple and straightforward nevertheless illogical

There is nothing like illogical premise in the question. It requires only a yes I believe so or no I don't believe so. Your obfuscations are just pointless.

So will you kindly answer the question!?

A simple answer/figures in meters or km will do!
