  Richard Dawkins talking about a Creator

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  richard dawkins admitted that information inside of dna, and the origin of life on earth, might point to intelligent designers, perhaps extraterrestrials.

  (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boncjbrrdq8 )richard dawkins further admitted, in a debate with francis collins for time magazine, that science might point to a creator existing, but that this creator might not be anything like yahweh:.

  time: "could the answer be god?

  this is such a shame.

  i've always thought about things like this happening because of how crazy some people are, especially in regards to religion.

  Such an aweful thing. May that asshole be hung by a yard arm. I hope they kill him 9 times, each more painful than the one before.

  I also dislike the "hate crime" designation. When is murder ,not acidental manslaughter but murder, ever NOT a hate crime????

  Unconvincing Evidence in September Watchtower

  by bemused in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was looking at the september 2015 issue of the watchtower, which, unlike the simplified and study editions, appears to be aimed at non-jws.

  a couple of articles caught my eye that quote biblical sources which are somewhat less than convincing to a non-believer.. firstly 'what do jehovah's witnesses believe?

  ' says that the core belief is that 'all scripture is inspired of god and beneficial'.

  And really thats the first lie. They dont believe the bible is inspired, per say. They believe whatever the GB tells them is inspired.

  You see, the problem is your not actually reading the words on the page. Your imparting what isnt there. The bible is clear in saying the desert gods anger blazed, not satan or any other being, but the desert god himself blazed and incited david to take the count. Thats not them blaming god because they didnt know better or both god and satan being at fault or whatever hybrid your struggling to create . Just read the words that are there. And the read the word in 1 chronicles that directly contradict them.

  Ho.ly. Shit!!!!!

  maybe this deserves its own thread but its dorectly related to the discussion at hand. The revised new world translation makes a HUGE twist to obsecure what happened!!!! Notice the following renderings of 2 sam 24:1:

  Byington:

  
  

  And Jehovah was again angry with Israel, and instigated David against them, prompting him to go and count Israel and Judah. 2

  
  

  American standard

  
  

  And again the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, Go, number Israel and Judah

  
  

  King james

  
  

  And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.

  
  

  Niv

  
  

  24 Again the anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, “Go and take a census ofIsrael and Judah.”

  
  

  The message bible

  
  

  24 1-2 Once again God’s anger blazed out against Israel. He tested David by telling him, “Go and take a census of Israel and Judah.” So David gave orders to Joab and the army officers under him, “Canvass all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and get a count of the population. I want to know the number.”

  
  

  Contemporary english version

  
  

  24 The Lord was angry at Israel again, and he made David think it would be a good idea to count the people in Israel and Judah.

  
  

  And on and on it goes! Now notice the revised new world version of that verse:

  
  

  24 The anger of Jehovah again blazed against Israel when one incited David against them, saying: “Go, take a count of Israel and Judah.”

  
  

  
  

  
  

  They completely obscured what happened by changing the verse!!!! Its crazy!!!!! And the reason i was going to quote it to begin with is because at 1 chronicles 21:1 satan is blamed!! But no more in dubbie land. Now it was just satan!!!!! This is bullshit! Im writing a letter of complaint!
