Do you believe in God or Jesus ??? (page 5)

drwtsn32

dan, oh please! You're not foolilng anyone with that "logic."

You are an atheists that creates an account with a Jehovah's Witness website; you come to a thread called "Do you believe in God?" and you tell me I'm the one who's asserting my view, and the burden of proof therefore lies with me?

You are an atheists that creates an account with a Jehovah's Witness website;

I am an ex-JW. This site is for current and former JWs. Are you either of those?

you come to a thread called "Do you believe in God?"

Why can't I? Are only people who believe in God or Jesus supposed to come to this thread? That's not what is implied by the subject being a question.

and you tell me I'm the one who's asserting my view, and the burden of proof therefore lies with me?

Burden of proof lies with the one making the extraordinary claim. Not with someone else to refute such claim.

There was a great song in the late 80's early 90's

My first thoughts when I saw these words were about Jimmy Buffet singing "My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink, and I Don't Love Jesus".

I think God is out there somewhere. And I belive that there was a guy named Jesus who walked the earth. But I really don't think either one spends a lot of time sweating the details of our individual lives, nor do they answer prayers or e-mails.

I do think that they have both handed us some solid guidelines for how to enjoy our lives, so I try to follow those to the best of my ability.

Sad appeal to tradition and popularity, Dan. Were you not aware that those are logical fallacies?

Yeah, well ... that's what I get for coming in here in the middle of a conversation. Kinda like being at the beach when some kid hollers "Dad!" and about 50 guys start rubber-necking to see whose kid is yelling.

Sorry about that, Dan-O! :)
