MAN is a late arrival--why blame him for everything?

    Heh, good point.

    You'd think an 'intelligent designer' would start by working out the kinks on the less-complicated and the least-powerful creations and progressively work their way up to the more-powerful ones; they'd start with the inanimate objects (stars, planets, rocks, dirt), then progress to the fairly-benign non-threatening plants, then the more ominous bacteria, then take on the challenge of making small animals (they can bite with their sharp teeth!), then larger animals, and finally the dangerous and crafty humanoids. After working out bugs on the humans (ie that pesky "free will" defect), the designer would finally create the angels, the ones who could completely throw a wrench in the proverbial monkey-works if the process were to be done, say, in reverse. But since we're dealing with a 'perfect' creator (who cannot make ANY mistakes), that concern obviously wouldn't apply!

    And good luck to those experiencing an mild case of cognitive dissonance, if the concept of a perfect God who makes imperfect creations makes any gob-smacking sense to them!

    BTW, what was God thinking, making the serpent the "craftiest" beast of the field like that? It apparently was created to be more clever than the humans, since it was able to trick them. ;)

    Terry - "JWs must first convince people they are wretched. Undermining humanity is their chief pursuit."

    I'd say that they're more likely to seek out individuals who already feel that way, and then simply reinforce it, but that's probably just splitting hairs.

    Terry - "The hub of all Watchtower theology is how awful, corrupt and chaotic humanity is."

    Easy when they honestly view humanity that way themselves.

    While JW's consider their message to be GOOD NEWS it is filled with depressing philosophy about the rest of mankind (non-witnesses)and has a streak of cynical malevolence about it. I see very little light of happiness in any JW's eyes. You see, billions must die first and then they'll get their ice cream and cake.
