Is going from the JWs to another Religion just a "Rebound?"

  But EP, you are genuinely stupid. I'm not making that up, ok? I mean, it is possible to disagree and everybody says things that are a little out there sometimes, but you really don't have anything in your head but a bunch of mushy hate. You're a hater, plain and simple, who doesn't have any of the tools necessary to do anything except spew stupid hate.

  I'm sorry, but that's just how it is. I mean, the logical fallacy thing makes me feel bad for you since you clearly don't have a clue about how to apply that. You hope that you can grab it and maybe it will fit the situation but, really, it just exposes your deficiencies -- mentally speaking, I mean. I feel bad for you; crippled by a crazy religion that de-emphasized education, you leave it and can't tell the difference between the crazy shit you keep believing and the crazy shit you don't want to believe any more.

  I'd like to help you, really. But breaking down the old JW habits of thinking you have every possible answer to every possible question with your simple little rules is a long, hard row to hoe. I don't think you're there yet.

  Ah, the inevitable insults, the last refuge of the incompetent. Thanks for proving my point. You may go now.

  I have to call 'em like I see 'em. Diest isn't an idiot and he disagrees with me all the time. Can you see the difference between you two? Smarts-wise, I mean?

  Sorry, this isn't about Deist. But again, thanks for proving my point with your poop flinging attemtps and now your attempt to change the subject.

  You may go now.

  This what i was leading up to - Ziddina said it!

  I've posted before - I think it was on one of Cedar's threads - that humanity's fear of death is the main reason religion is still with us.

  Even though religion only pretends to be absolutely certain about that great big, scary question, ...

  Thats why we all should just move one and not worry - you cant "fear the reaper"

  Heh, so he's "genuinely" stupid? As if throwing the word 'genuinely' in front makes it true, or doesn't make that a genuine ad hominem....

  "I'm not making that up, ok?"

  Well, why didn't you say so, in the first place? Because if you're not making it up, then it MUST be true!

  I mean, who would EVER think about making things up like that? And who better to ask about truth than someone who clearly understands that those other ancient stories are simply myths (Epic of Gilgamesh) whereas ONLY ONE OTHER (Genesis) is truly a historical record of events?

  Sully, you're only embarrassing yourself now (and that is my assumption, assuming you're self-aware to the level where you do experience shame).

  rather be in hades

  1. what proof is there that there is a god?

  2. what proof is there that the bible is god's word and not one of the many many many other holy texts out there?

  3. what proof is there that the bible is accurate or false?

  4. if there are false teachings in the bible, does that disprove that the bible is god's word?

  as far as the original qestion, there's something to be said about association. church doesn't have to be a rebound at all.

  If you know someone from whom you can purchase a clue, do so now, please. When did I say Genesis was an historical record of events? Well, dummy, never. Because it isn't an historical record.
