since evolution has caused our species to have bigger and better brains as time went on,,will we eventually evolve beyound any need for religion??
?
Bls,
I agree.
I think eventually our whole species will evolve enough to not have any need of it. If our brain keep getting smarter and smarter,,there will be no need for god even to be considered as a creator,, than for us now to beleive in the tooth fairy.
I think we will keep evolving greater awareness,,perhaps up to a certain point,,but just where that point?

Beleiver Only everyone else stuff it!!!
okay, i don't know about the rest of you, but when i read any wt publications (even on here), i fall into a state where i'm reading, but not paying attention to what i'm reading.
i used to do it during watchtower studies, and when i was studying, i fought to pay attention to the material being discussed.
it just seems automatic, that i completely shut my mind off when reading wt publications.. what about you?
Anytime I read a quote posted here from the WT publications,,I usually skip to a few key words to get the gist,, because i hate reading that sh!t.
When something don't make sense to me or has lots of vagueness to it I don't waste my time,,and that's how I veiw the WT stuff.
after much deliberation, i decided to go "out" at the end of a public talk.
it didn't go down too well, but at least i was able to give some of my reasons for leaving.. i've put some of the details on my homepage.
i'll update it more when i get the time and the strength.
LT,
I wish you the best,, and,,if you are looking for a companion I hope you find a good one.
recently my musical ability has taken some big leaps.. i am experimenting on a new type of music,,perhaps avantguard???
to me it sounds like nothing i ever heard,,but people tell me it is very hypnotic and different.
i can play this stuff for hours,,my right hand gets numb,,i just shake it and play a different way for while and then go back to a weird theme that is super easy to change often.
Nos,
I think your right about the headphones,,, I wish I could reproduce what I hear on my processor,,I would be a happy man!
I bought a new sound card today "Delta 1010LT" I will install it along with a $19. version of guitar tracks by cakewalk.
Maybe if I can get some good tracts I'll post it.
Thanks for all your help!

Nos,
The recordings I've done seem harsher than what I hear through my headphones when connected to my processor.
as i learn more about the borg i am continually shocked by what i discover.
i knew early on that they were pacifists but i had no idea that this included not honouring (or dishonouring) those that have died under war conditions.
i find it so hypocritical that the dubs are quite happy to benefit from the principles (ie freedom, liberty, justice, etc) that these men & women fought for & yet refuse to pay tribute to them.
XLX,
I think you need to remember this is a forum that debates alot,,and we have strong opinions that get challenged all the time.
You may be young,,but it you post here prepare to get some of your posts challenged.
I think it wounderful you post here but you must know you will be challenged on your veiws if you express them,,it is healthy,,and will make everyone think more. Be very slow to take offense,,and you will learn alot.
i went to get my hair done and my beautician happens to be a dub.
she has known me and my family for a long time and she has an idea that im "inactive" but thankfully she hasnt been really nosy otherwise i would take my business elsewhere.
anyway, i've long since faded and when i do go to get my hair done i manage to avoid all "jehoober" related conversation and have so far been successful.
Doddle,
I'm really glad you got a chuckle from this,, I think that is just so so so cool. I hope many X's feel deep down this humour for it is very theroputic!!! You go girl!
there is no objective standard for right and wrong even if a god did exist.
god's morality is nothing more than an opinion backed up by absolute power.
might does not make right.
Log,
I said:We have know way of know there is a reality,,we only guess there is a reality. There may not be this so called "reality" that every one is so concerned about.
And you said:
I would put the probablity of there being a reality well close to 100%. The very fact that we exist as conscious beings comes close to proving this. Perhaps you mean that people's interpretation of reality is flawed. My point is that there we can never approach absolute certainty with regard our interpretations
The contradiction is that you seem to be making the point that reality is most likely,,and then we can never have absolute certainty,,it's a double blind statement that proves much uncertainty,,,so how in the world can you be even 10% certain really puzzles me.
