No o, it's not reflecting the real world. It's just that here atheists can be more vocal whereas in the real world the few that are in 9ja cannot say anything.

I suppose it's just the frustration of not being able to express themselves in real life that makes them come here to vent to vociferously.

I don't think it is a bad thing anyway. I think this is going to be one of revolutions that internet will bring about just like the invention of printing cause the fall of Roman Catholic domination of europe.

You are so on point. just like before i used to think Ezekiel really saw angels flying down from heaven not knowing he saw a spaceship/UFO, and i would never know this if not for the internet. knowledge like that can change your perspective about your beliefs in a different way. i think the christianity is losing the battle in real life as time goes on. if we survive this year dec21 2012 and nothing happens then i think that will be the height. but on nairaland? that one na tey tey matter

Christianity rules, because you and I, and most humans in the real world, desire the kind of peace and harmony that Christianity proclaims. Senseless trols do not deserve too much attention.

perhaps this has more to do with the CONSTANT gatecrashing of christian threads by atheists?
I know how frustrated i got trying to open up christian threads and the first 3-4 posters end up as mocking atheists. At a point i elected to not waste my time again.

and you just stopped there now you are even the main culprit in the matter going around insulting atheists and muslims because you got frustrated. eyah sorry oh!

just stating the obvious my dear. sorry if it hurts or does not conform to your own myopic ideas.
Christianity is going nowhere... just because some have chosen to keep their sanity rather than the endless, fruitless bantering of words with illogical empty heads who think they have achieved something by virtue of spiritual emptiness does not mean christians have died a slow death.

We have silenced them.
They are worn out from superior intelligentia. . . having cursed out their HOCUS-POCUS-BOGUS TRINITY aka lazy God, helpless Jesus and molested Mary to kindom come. Oh, should we mention the HOLY GHOST and it's "Auspicious deekless Ijebu-Ekiti-like" wondrous immaculate pehnis, the surrogate daddy of Christ? Or the jilted Joseph?

Off to work. . . this day off was not meant to be. One spoiled rich white girl does not want to work tonight and has offered me her shift. My girls need some new clothes. . . Sooooooooooooo, off I go.

What a beautiful spring day in the greatest country in the world. . . MY BEAURRRIFUL USA.

SPOT ON !!!

I said it that atheists are winning on Nairaland. https://www.nairaland.com/919187/atheists-winning

The christians here are not happy that they can not be intolerant and bully atheists like they do in Nigeria.


Are they not ashamed or educated enough to realise that atheistic countries are the most peaceful and more likely to be prosperous than highly religious countries?

Oh! Cry me a damn, a river and an ocean!
How good it feels to see what it feels like to 'mock' others,
Mu che che che che che che.

If you don't 'mock' others directly or indirectly. . . .you will be spared the grief. Nothing worse than dealing with a 'true' UNBELIEVER.
There is always more where the 'shyte' falls from. . . we eat healthy meals.

Hahaahah!

They are so angry that they dont have the priviledge to discriminate against atheists like they do in Nigeria. On Nairaland, atheists can respond to their bigotry

Tell me about it. The same MENTALLY-UNSTABLED bigots who go from thread to thread insulting others because of their USELESS BELIEFS aka RELIGION?
Thank God for the h-internet. Them go hearrrrrrrrrrrrrrram!

By the time I finish with that them 'Christianity' kwa nu, dem go reject their God by force. Good riddance to the days of associating with UGLY, brainless, cyber riff-raffs. I am not at risk for 'rat-poison' or HIV anymore. Praise their Gods!

Mu he he he he he he he

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrantus Nonsensicus!

Christianity has nothing to battle with once people stop being afraid of hell. Without hell, it is toothless for there is nothing truly of interest in what Christianity has to offer the world. It has dealt it's hand long long ago and most people(except Nigerians, of course)have moved on past it.

Fools taking nairaland too seriously, how many people bother to entertain your endless back and forth bickering

And only fools believe the atheist movement brought about development in other countries . . whereas most building blocks of today's technology were achieved several years ago when Christianity was largely practiced.

Atheist believe and act as if their main foe is Christianity, sounds like someone who is threatened.

Your rants on nairaland can be likened to this quote ===== [size=18pt]Fear makes the Wolf bigger than he is.
[/size]

No matter your rants, you still remain infinitesimal when Christianity is being discussed

Development today came about by asking questions.. there has been development ever since man came on this earth.. The idea that Christianity or atheism for that matter contributed to development is a fallacy.

People asked questions and strived to discover solutions to those questions.. In some cases, the church tried to silence them, that doesn't mean Christianity (Christ's message) should take the hit.. I'm not too sure, but I think the great scientist Galileo, though imprisoned and hounded by the Catholic church for his beliefs, still died a CATHOLIC....

like i said before, nairaland isnt here to help anybody with their christian life.

that's what the bible is for.

the owner of nl is an atheist, his assistant, oga or co-owner is muslim, why should any part of nl be considered an official sanctioned avenue to promote christianity or christian theology?

peruse what you need to peruse, see if it adds value to you or not, and move on.

@ sincere seekers, not the op or any of her cronies.

Great contradictory statements....

amusing thread.

i guess some are feeling the silence.

its not so much fun when your targeted reception simply ignores you and you're forced to soliloquize with like minds only.

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt... that's if there were any doubts in the first place...

Have you noticed that wherever there is equality and freedom of speech, atheism grows and christianity dwindles?

Nairaland is the only piece of Nigeria (albeit a virtual world) where atheists are quite free to express their freedom. One man's poison is another man's meat.


You talk about christianity's contribution to science and development which I agree to. However, ironically, christianity held back many advances in science and we can see the rapid rate of increase in technological advances/development when soiety became more secular


Why is it that the two industrial revolutions came after the age of enlightenment when socieities became more secular focusing on science rather than superstition. Technological advancement became faster when religion became less relevant. Say thank you to atheism/agnoticism.


What about equality? Is it coincidence that the most peaceful countries are atheistic? Why is it that socieities became more peaceful and equal after the age of enlightenment? The age of enlightenment produced the bill of rights and the frenc declaration of right of man.


Sorry, but you christianity is failing societies. I'm also happy that America is becoming more and more atheistic

False religious dogma's have actually driven many to atheism....

That's just d real truth...

But in all atheists u guys can win false christianity but will never prevail over true christianity...

@logicboy....what equality are u talking about??

Are u equal to every1 in the usa or where ever you are??

No matter what u do we all can never be equal until d end comes...

Under humans equality is a dream...

Equality is a dream that humans are getting close to.


As for America, I live in a much more equal society than America. I live in a developed European country

Shut up. You and christianity are both cults. Unlike christianity, you will always be seen as a cult by most people.

@logic boy...sorry bro u'll never see equality till God himself brings an end to it....

Its a dream my bro....

humans are so imperfect and selfish that u'll never see a society like that..

A society where ur fellow man has to rule u will always be filled with in equality....

U'll always be a slave until u support Gods kingdom.....

If u like u can argue till u grow grey,inequality will keep increasing until humans with there presumpteousness turn back to the 1 who has d right to rule us...

[quote author=logicboy]



you shut up. theres nothing wrong with being a cult.

Development never comes from people who don't question. You are right about that one. Christians and adherents of other religious faiths have been trained not to ask questions but to just accept and believe, have faith as they call it.

Further more, if the RCC punished so severely one of their own(in label), that tells you everything, doesn't it. Religion loathes people who are inquisitive because they usually end up discovering the falsehoods religions are built upon.
