do any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?

even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.

the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

Viviane - I used an analogy, which I feel shows clear and simple evidence that the Laws of the Universe result in Good at all times.
Perhaps what I wrote came our sounding like Drivel, I apologize for not being clear.. I'l try again. I'll attempt to use Deductive Reasoning.. Please let me know if any of my Axioms are wrong, or if I am not stating them properly.
- The Universe* has One Primary Function.
- The Primary function of the Universe is to Evolve.
- When a Life Form evolves it becomes better (More Good)
- Because of the Universe all Life Evolves.
- The Universe is Inherently Good.
* In using the Term universe, I do not mean "Outer Space", rather I mean all that is known to Exist.

Infallible is the best way to Describe the laws of the Universe.
The Inherent Good nature of the Universe has nothing to do with me.. I will Die, however Life independent of me will continue to Evolve and become Better.
We are all the Same. We must Evolve.

prologos - Ahh.. Indeed you are correct.
Things outside of my realm of Consciousness and observation are moving towards Better Ends at all times. It is only the pride within me, that veils these mechanisms from my understanding.

Viviane -
I see.. Since you are a Scientist, My explanations must comply with the rigidity of the scientific method ?
Never mind the fact that, many scientific discoveries, had their origins in philosophy and meta-physical insights.

Prologos - The Laws in the Universe are Infallible. If these Laws at any time appear flawed or anything other than Good, it is not due to the Nature of the Universe, it is Due to our limited comprehension of the purpose of the Universe.

Viviane : A while back you wrote a post, which discussed "Quality Thinking". Let us please abide by the statements in your post, to come to a conclusion in this thread.
I said that the Universe is Orderly - You said that the Universe is not Orderly.
I said that the Universe is Inherently Good - You said that the Universe is not Inherently Good.
The Definition of Inherent is "existing in someone or something as a permanent and inseparable element, quality, or attribute"
It is my assertion that If someone is More organized than unorganized, it is Fair to Say that the Person is organized.
If as a Result of being Organized, the Person becomes organized a to a Greater Extent ,it can be said that the person is Improving in his Organization.
If this Person lives forever, and he without relent, becomes more organized, it can be said that this person is Inherently organized. Or organization is an inseparable quality of who he is.
Using this Analogy, consider the quality of Evolution.
Does Life go from Better to Worse, or does Life go From Worse to Better?
If you agree that Life goes from Worse to Better, is it not appropriate to say that Evolution is Inherently Good?
If Evolution is Inherently Good, and Evolution is the Force that compels the Universe to grow, would not the Universe also be Inherently Good?

I'm sorry but you are confused.
If someone says "The House always wins" they do not mean, that the house wins 100% of the time.. Rather they mean, that the House wins more than 51% of the Time.
With this in mind, what I said is a Factually observable and true.

Has God done anything recently worth witing about?

i'm not sure why religions insist upon living and teaching from thousands of years ago.

a time when people lived in fear of things they didn't understand and didn't have the knowledge or words to describe things and events in terms that are relevant to us in 2015. why are we taught to live, and believe, in the middle-east over 2000 years ago?

when is there going to be some new material?

The God of the Bible has been busy as of late. He has been fulfilling the promises, made to the Israelite's more than 2,520 years ago.
Research the history of Palestine / Israel from the late 1800's to current (Focus on 1948 & 1967). By reading over the recent history of Israel, you will find 100's of Bible prophecies, literally Fulfilled.

Viviane :
My question has everything to do with the topic.. My question goes along with the statement's of prologos.
The universe transpires in an Orderly manner, and that Order is Inherently good.
When you see Good in all, you will understand.

Viviane - Fair enough, and what of the other 2 questions? Do you mind answering them?
