for you ex-jehovahs witnesses...and even you current ones...have you ever contemplated your future existence in paradise earth, should you be fortunate enough to end up there?
during those raucous, fun moments at the kingdom hall when you were contemplating eternity and having the times of your lives...did you ever speculate about what life would be like?
for example, would you have to walk everywhere or would you be able to fly around like superman?
"Book of Mormon is the product of a Middle East background"
Seriously? Do you really want to go down that road? C'mon, get your act in order. You can say it, but you can't prove it. Mormonism is an original American religion. Every thing about it was manufactured here. You can say some of it happened on another planet but it won't make a difference.

I actually saw a video of Mitt Romney on a jet skii. I imagine he's fallen off that thing more than once. So, I take it he swims. Also, I can't imagine that he was wearing that funny underware under his swim suit. Sooooooooooo.... Does that mean that, like the JWs and other religions, they do what's convenient at the time? Guess how I would answer that question.
there are no convincing arguments for god, but some are worse than others.
i thought it would be interesting to see what people consider the best (of the bad) arguments for god?.
in my oppinion it is the fine-tuning argument from cosmology.
If it wasn’t because I’m on my cocktail hour, I would come up with some serious reasons. For now, I’ll just say that I suppose the best argument for God depends on who’s entertaining the question. For a theist, it’s very easy. He just IS, period, end of sentence. Now, to prove it, that’s a different question. For some, no proof is needed. For others, there is this “intuitive” thing that tells them the universe can only exist if He exists and that it (the universe) by its design is testimony of that. There are ways to argue against that, but I have found the fruitless with some people. It doesn’t matter what logic you use, it won’t change their minds.

as many may be aware.
i don't like the man.
but i have chosen to review the first chapter of his book.. chapter 1... only a theory?.
bohm:
...and you are, uh, the metaphore police? Are you an authority on metaphores? Wait. You're with the National Accademy of Metaphores. Right? Listen: Say whatever gets your rocks off, metaphorically speaking. Although, maybe for you it's literal. You say I have trouble with the truth, but you have never factually contradicted anything I've pointed out. You just keep "stroking that subject". I'm getting a very disturbing picture of you ever since that masturbation comment. By the way, you do realize that I've moved from metaphores to euphemism, don't ya? I'm waiting for you to "bite". In case you want to twist that into something else, I meant something involving how a fish takes a lure.
i have to say, i am afraid i found this chapter labourious to read in most places.
imo i felt he just wasn't getting to the point.
i don't get why dawkins felt the need to teach me all about platoism, essentialism and rabbits.
I WAS RIGHT! I finally found it. It was you tec. How little you have changed. It was almost a year ago on 12/23/2012 that I posted my last comment on a thread titled “I can’t imagine not believing in God”, started by MsGrowingGirl20. It runs 33 pages. So if anyone wants to look at it, start at the end. I don’t mean it as an insult but, everything seems to bounce off you. I know I was direct enough and reasonable for you to make at least some admissions, primarily that your position is unsustainable. I’m not saying you should abandon it, but please to don’t try to justify it. Just say you believe because you say so and leave it at that.
as many may be aware.

bohm:
“Yet it seems like i am not the only persion who got that impression”
Yes. But some other people didn’t. And if you did, that’s on you and the others who thought the same.
“sorry you think using one make you seem smart.”
I don’t. You’re the one who brought it up in relation to a cow. I realize your attempt at being witty. It failed miserably.
“to stimulate your gonads” Yes, my words.
I guess you also have troubles with metaphors. That’s why it appeared to me your reference about masturbation was literal and did not refer to mental gyrations. So, if I say that I think your preposterous ideas means you have balls as big as church bells, you’re going to unzip and check, just to be sure? I grew up knowing that difference between testicles and cojones. While their meaning can refer to the same part of the anatomy, they really are two different concepts. Stick that in your pipe – but don’t assume I mean you ought to take up smoking.

What a gruesome tragedy! I can’t get over the dichotomy of such a crime, which may have been committed by gangster thugs, involving what would normally be law abiding people as many JWs are. Could there have been some sort of liaison between someone in the house and the gangsters? Why would they be killed if they had no business with drugs or anything illegal? Unless it was a mistake and they went to the wrong house, there’s gotta be some logical reason.
