Terry:There came a moment in Jehovah's existence (free of time, space and context) when He had to consider what He would do with His eternal existence.
That statement only works for a being with a begining. Why would there be an interuption from something that has always been. You dont live for hundreds of billions of years and even feel the need for that interuption, so why would an always there being feel this need?
Since most people here claim to be Christians then use the Bible as the basis of your answers.
And if we don't, why would we choose the Unholy Bible?

I seriously doubt that a fair poll here would place an uneven portion of posters on the side of Christianity.
Christianity generally just ignore said polls - after all, us evil non-theists wouldn't be consulted on a matter of such importance. We might start quoting facts about how God has seemingly IGNORED HUMANITY.
A better question: Why would God create humanity, and then just cast us to the gutter like rat-shit?
Just asking.

As my friend Skelton used to say: Good Night, and may God bless.

Maybe a more important and relevant question should be why did humanity create gods ?
a question that carries more relevance to are own known existence.
Why did god create homo sapiens ?
Answer = because he knew we would evolve into something better.
There’s a big difference from being an atheist and an opportunist.
An atheist is a person who, because of a combination of the free exercise of conscience and intellect, comes to a conclusion that they don’t believe in God—either as that popularly represented or in the existence of deities exhaustively speaking.
An opportunist is someone who takes advantage of something like claim to a philosophy or even hijacks it, like many did at the rise of Communism and claimed they were “enlightened by atheism” merely to prove that they were as nonsensical as those who claimed to be enlightened by religion but belied it by their actions. Many took an enlightened concept of the mind and human spirit and turned into a name often too concurrent with the blood baths and the rape of humanity they inflicted in country after country in Europe and Asia. What these men were was nothing less than an opportunist who, instead of clinging to the title of religion like the Nazis did before them to masquerade their havoc dance of hatred on people.
Now they had “atheism” to wear as their new clothing, but their business was the same: hate others, make sport of the exercise of free conscience, use anything a person can to keep being that bully from way back on the schoolyard of so many years ago…that boy who beat up easy targets because on the inside nobody liked him. He felt unlovable by parents who probably wanted him less than a possible STD they could have picked up from a night of drunken sex. Or maybe because someone else was chosen from among siblings and he or she was made to feel like they didn’t exist unless they did something violent—yes, imagine that, being able to be an opportunist with violence itself, the tool that seems to cause the most relief because nothing else seems to shut up the hatred we feel inside ourselves except when we know we are hurting others, either emotionally or physically…but we hope for both!
That’s not a real atheist. Might as well just well enough remained a JW or member of some other religion we could easily hijack until atheists got even more power and control again, and then, wham, push them aside like we did before when we had the Soviet Union and take advantage of anything available as long as we have our targets to make us forget that poor little boy, unloved on the playground, who nobody cared about unless he raised hell.
Do we really have to be so callous to one another over the Internet? Do we apples really never fall far away from the hatred-inducing tree of Jehovah’s Witnesses that now since we no longer have a congregation of people to bully and make fun of for using their own minds and exercise their conscience that we have to advertise how much we miss people one of them by acting like this to a very good question?
And when is asking any question mean the person is doing anything more than asking a question? Just because some of us might have a hidden agenda when we ask things (like just wanting to stir things up for our own enjoyment of seeing others get hurt) doesn’t mean others lack a heart because we now have an empty cavity of seared conscience.
Just reading the comments of some people or the way the “joke” makes me feel like I’m back on a body of elders again, lovingly care for the sheep. Ah, it “feel good to be a Jehovah’s Witness” again!
I’m sorry but this isn’t what I’m looking for. If you people can’t move on and just wallow about being “tossed out in the darkness” from a group that didn’t have any light in the first place, then you deserve to keep acting like Jehovah’s Witnesses do to each other.
Wearing the name “atheist” does change the fact that there’s still a wolf that likes to prey on the life blood of others underneath.
I haven't seen people act this rude since the Integrity Keepers Convention of Jehovah's Witness in 1984--the last one I cared to even stay awake for.
Rather: Wearing the name “atheist” does NOT change the fact that there’s still a wolf that likes to prey on the life blood of others underneath.
