Zion Umoh is a renowned Atheist in Akwa ibom, who go about talking ill about God, churches and pastors. 90% of his Facebook posts are dedicated to this.
On 19th December he will be exchanging marital vows in Catholic church in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state.
Personally I think it is hypocritical to say your vows in front of a God you don't believe in.

Atheists are humans with spiritual problems, all they need is prayers

All his complaint is about money...he even accused the poor woman singing of collecting money...

cheesy grin grin... This is something I would love to do, just to get religious folks all riled up over nothing.
Perhaps his bride is a Christian and he just wants to make her happy.

Lol I don't mind marrying anybody.
Even a traditional worshiper. As long as you don't make your beliefs an inconvenience in my life we'd live just fine.
I have a very religious mother too, and she wouldn't trade me for any church loving son.

Lol!

I would like to catch him when they ask everyone to bow their heads for prayer, and he closes his eyes and his lips starts moving...

What would he be saying and to whom?

Maybe the One he doesn't believes exist, lol!

Really funny. cheesy

Lol, Jokes on you, he could be saying gibberish, and you would think he's praying to your god, and you'll use that to make yourself feel better, thinking that he actually believes in it. Like I said, anything to get you folks riled up.

Make me feel better for closing his eyes and speaking to Someone he doesn't believe exists?

No the joke would be on fools who claim God doesn't exist, but would be yet feel they have to pretend He does for a day because of marriage.

Lol, the joke is on the clown who validates his god claim by what an atheist pretended to do or not. Same way you believe that members of "The church of Satan" actually worship the imaginary Satan.
Like I said, that's something I'd like to do, and you'll still come here to cry about it, like you folks are doing now.

I can't tell her that because the god doesn't exist.
If it did, that statement "stupid god" would be true..whether you perceive it as an insult or not, that's your problem. It's like me getting hurt if someone insulted Santa Claus or Sango.
And you forgot where I said, keep your beliefs personal and we won't have a problem. Whether we're related or not.

My belief??....I’ve not even mentioned anything about myself have I??
My dialogue with u is about the atheist marrying a woman who he makes mockery of her belief and other people like her....I’m just wondering how the marriage will work becos religion is an identity for many religious people ...
Since u said u’ll like to make mockery of religious people and ur mother is religious...I was only trying to establish if you do same with tour mother and ur wife... which was why I asked if you can marry a Christian

You know your problem? You lack comprehension skills.
I've stated it many times that one should keep his or her beliefs personal, hence, no one would be mocked.
You cannot carry our children's school fees and give to the church all in the name of doing "God's work" and expect me to keep quiet. Or you disturb my sleep with your incessant prayers at night, all in the name of fighting imaginary demons and you expect me to just condone such madness.
Religion is not the backbone of a relationship.
The fact that you have to marry someone based on religion and not because of the person's character or traits is just dumb.
So yes, a marriage between an atheist and a religious person would work if they both learn to respect each other's space.

@OP, the man does not sound like an atheist but rather aomeone who is disillusioned by religion and all that goes with it. If he is willing to spend his hard earned money on one of your church businesses, you all ought to rejoice.

You know the kids would want to follow their mom to her church.

How will you prevent their indoctrination as an atheist married to a religious person?

It's quite difficult having an affair with a religious woman in Nigeria.

That's true.
But whoever I'm getting married to must know me first.
We must understand each other before anything. That's why I don't hide my non beliefs...
Before marriage, she'd have known what I can condone and what I'd allow. Same with hers.
If we don't agree on each other's terms, best we can do is break up.
Marriage is not even something I look forward to anyways.
