  I have tried to be an atheist

  by stillajwexelder in

  2. bible

  i have tried to be an atheist- honestly, i have really tried.

  i have most of dawkins books and many others.

  i completely agree there has to be some evolution and obviously the fossil record in the grand canyon plus erosion shows it must be at least 600 million years old.

  I don't think it's a matter of trying to be an atheist.

  It's more of a gradual letting go of God, until one day someone makes mention of God and there is simple reaction of "Nope, I don't believe that." And in the same way that you at one time felt with every fiber of your being that Jehovah was real, you now feel, believe that the opposite is true.

  That sense of struggle has come to pass and life is just good without belief.

  So perhaps you don't need to try. Just continue doing what you are doing and things will take something of a natural course.

  Wow.

  There's a lot I would like to put into words in a short space.

  But I'll shorten this to two things:

  a) Good for you. You've been much, much, much stronger than what I ever could have been. I can't even begin to imagine what this has been like for you. There is a light at the end of this tunnel. Which leads me to b...

  b) This is very cool. And I hope that over the coming months, years she sees more. Perhaps one day, hopefully soon, she really just gets it, and is able to walk out with you.

  Is it basically that they applied for govt $$ to make a certain business accessible to the elderly or disabled?

  In which case, JW's use (whether morally right or not, I don't know) government funding all the time.

  That's just how it looks to me.

  I think that we can get a little paranoid around here

  <<<looks around nervously>>>

  Try not to let it bother you.
  
  I signed up for your forum the other day and haven't heard anything back.

  Hopefully I can get it cleared up and figured out soon as I had gone to your site quite a few times and really liked what I saw.

  Sorry you're having problems so soon.

  I houseclean for a gentleman who knows tons about computers and he has the excellent framed quote:

  To err is human
  To foul things up takes a computer

  have a good night
