I can't imagine not believing in God.

    I mean, did you MEAN to blaspheme with that statement?

    I was not riled up Shelby I was responding rationally to your silly superstitious notion that decrying an imaginary spirit person could have any consequences.

    Yes I fully intend to blaspheme - blasphemy is a victimless crime.

    Sad that is a crime in some countries.....

    I have no "side", nor is anyone "pouncing" except you and other certain non-believers. In your "pouncing," however, you can't even keep to what you're saying yourselves.

    If I am saying it, why would I be keeping it myself? You aren't making sense.

    Indeed, multi-tasking (which is more than double-tasking, in case you didn't know that) comes natural to [most of] us.

    Actually, science (not prayer) has shown that humans, when it comes to things like posting, cannot truly multi-task. Also, multi simply means more than one, double-tasking is always multi-tasking, but not vice versa.

    Ah, it existed asterisk free for a moment in time. But no more. A force greater than the HS intervened....

    jgnat - there are unedited F-words all over the board. This one was chosen thoughtfully to make a specific point.

    It's an even greater burden being asked... and providing answers to... the same few questions over... and over... and over... again, only to be met with insults when you provide such.

    No one is being insulted on this thread. Your hallucinations aren't answers.

    Of course, you are not. And I have no problem telling you that. And just because you say you are doesn't mean you are. And I have no problem telling you that, either.

    And yet, when asked, you can't every quite show where I am wrong.

    I shared the evidence with you. Shared what I saw, heard, felt, smelled... even tasted. Now, if you choose to reject all of that, well, that's on you.

    You shared a hallucination. Not at all the same.

    C'mon, Slick. While I'm sure there are some who will open this thread and start reading from here and think, "Hey, he said she did that so she must have done that!" plenty of others have followed along and know you're... oh, what's the word... posturing? Pontificating?

    I am quite sure people think "Pontificating" when reading your posts.

    I would say the same of you, but a dishonest man is anything but adorable to me. He can't be trusted. And, sorry, but I can't reconcile "adoration" with "dishonesty."

    Your opinion of me is not something I really concern myself with. You have mentioned dates with me quite a but lately, I apologize if I accidentally led you on by calling you adorable. The lady doth protest too much methinks.

    OK, I am off to have fun with my kids, using science!

    Cofty, with respect, who are you to decide that this is the best way to prioritise? How can you determine the importance of their faith in their survival to sort out the other things? Even as a believer I wouldn't presume so much. I would let the leaver decide for themselves whether or not they need their faith to move forward with their life, their family and their social relationships. I, for one, could not have moved forward, would not be here today if I hadn't hung on to my faith to see me through that terrible exodus. ...loz

    Surely, if anyone is to make a 'decision' about what to believe or not to believe. They need to hear all sides of the argument. Isn't that why we like to expose the WTS with facts and evidence.

    What we say doesn't effect your belief...because you know what you believe. Why do you think we or anyone can threaten what someone else believes if they are being led by god? Surely god would lead them to the truth in the end. And they would be much stronger in their convictions having dispelled what we say.

    Or do you think belief should NEVER be challenged? That would be really sad for people who believe what the WTS teach is true.

    How do YOU decide what people should hear and what they shouldn't?

    I am VERY grateful to all the atheists on this forum for helping and encouraging me to search for information. Helping me to question. Helping me and encouraging me to not just accept what someone else says. They all helped and encouraged me to open my mind. On the other hand, believers just offered more of the same. Beleif, don't ask questions, just accept what I say is true even though it is so personal I just can't share it with you....but TRUST me...its true...OH, and did I mention, don't listen to me (while they tell you what you should believe)

    I know what method I prefer to get to the nuts and bolts of the matter...and make MY OWN MIND UP. And it's not being TOLD about what your flavour of god wants or doesn't.

    Methinks the... well, I would say "gentleman," but let's keep it real, shall we?... doth protest too much.

    Off to walk puppies (in the rain! They have little yellow slickers that are SO cute!)... then put on dinner!

    Later!

    A slave of Christ,
