  Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution

  by dubstepped in

  2. friends

  so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.

  i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.

  i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

  Our life is really about learning and experiencing. That is what we do.

  Including the observation of mechanisms and systems that already exist in the universe, that evolutionists separate from having any agent.

  What do Jehovah's Witnesses think of modern day Israel?

  i mentioned this to the two ladies who came by yesterday.

  they indicated to me through bible readings (like 2 timothy 3 and another) that jw's are not what are called "christian zionists.

  " is this true because if it is not (that jw's actually do support israel), i want no part of the jehovah's witnesses.

  The Republic of Israel like every other country and nation on earth exists (except JW) based upon and depending on, military force, nuclear weapons, military bases, political alliances, and the like.

  sub-systems

  Ay, there is the rub! - And don't forget to not to equate speculative science ( such as "the religion of evolution" for example) with empirical science which requires zero faith, proponents or advocates with an agenda.

  Shoud individuals be held responsible for their INACTION?

  if you see someone about to be struck by a car or otherwise step into harms way but choose not to call out a warning or act in some way to prevent disaster, are you responsible for any harm caused?.

  what defence, if any, can be offered for choosing inaction?

  Yes, I am better than god.

  If God exists, he must be greater than you morally. An inferior being is not God.

  I'll put my morality up against god's any day of the week.

  "Have it your way then." --God of the Bible

  Having saved more than one life, one child in shock and completely stunned, looking me in the face, understanding that he would have been dead if not for me, whispered to me without sounding the words: "thank you." I said to him very sternly: "thank God." Going his way home, his parents will never know that they would have had to take their son to a funeral parlor.

  If God does not exist then living creatures are destined to the mercy of chance and there is no justice in the world; but it is impossible for the LIFEGIVER! to be evil. --If we sense what is good, then just how much more, the giver of life; or do you think you are better than God?

  For nearly a minute her eyes begged him before her strength failed and her face turned to the sky.

  Sadly, other children die every day too; what is disturbing about this story is the 'monster's' apparent "inaction".

  It is human nature to help. I would have. As the storty is told, there seems to be no moral defense to justify the idleness. But I would need to hear the monster's reasons for doing nothing in this specific instance. Suppose the child was baby Hitler? Suppose it was the child of an oppresive slave owner who was also the child of an oppresive slave owner? -And the monster was an oppressed slave.

  The way the laws are crafted in the US, an innocent person can rot for decades of time in jail and more and innocent people can be pressured by prosecuters to compromise a plea or face years and years of legal proceedings and expensive legal fees or risk being convicted of a crime he did not commit -Isn't that being a monster too? Now suppose you were this man and you had been falsley convicted of harming a child and served decades in jail, you come out and there is a Court Order that you stay away from children, all the while you being innocent as Jesus; you pull the child out of the water and it so happens that the child was sexually abused -guess who is going to jail? OR, You call for help and you are accused of trying to drown the child or with your luck, guess what, the child was sexually abused and you are accused.

  You need to KNOW all of the facts when deciding what is just and good and labeling someone a monster.
