yesterday evening my wife and i were invited to friends house for new year's eve.
we met them when i was a christian and we have kept in touch.
they had a few other friends there as well, including the new church pastor and his wife.
welcome to JWN randomthoughts - pls start a new thread in the Friends section telling us more about what brings you here...
I noticed that story about the UKIP councillor as well...I wonder what god-dishonouring act the people of Indonesia commited in late 2004?
i've been in need of a new laptop for a long time.
no, i mean it - a really long time.
the old dell that we have has a floppy lid and is woefully underpowered although it does build up my upper body strength every time i pick it up.. the last 6 months has been a bad time to buy something new though with the haswell processors on the horizon promising better battery life and also screen technology seems to have been leaping ahead recently to a new hi-dpi standard.. so apple finally released their mac book pro and at the same time dell has released an xps 15 ultrabook which looks like a pretty good alternative and probably better 'value'.. pro's and con's?
Mobile + Internet of Things means desktop OS will be niche
its not that much of a stretch to imagine keyboards being strictly for devs

@flamegrilled - you are arguing for "this is possible"
I am beyond that to "what is probable"

resorting to 'we don't know what we don't know' therefore anything is possible is pretty lame
apeals to mathematical-grade logical proof can never apply to this debate, or any other non-mathematical argument.
the latest awake is online.
there is a story about a nun who became a communist and then got disillusioned with that.
here's a quote.... .
I'm sure there is a personality type that is drawn to high control groups
so, i eventually decided that this place wasn't the apostate hot bed i was led to believe ;-), (or maybe i am now an apostate!
but i don't feel like one.)..
i was brought up in "the truth".. i loved it.
hi - welcome to JWN :-)
a young, progressive, kind elder wants to have a chat with me on sunday after the meeting.
we've talked before and been quite open about the judgemental attitudes 'we' have as witnesses, and he was completely in agreement, stating that he's never understood the beard thing among other issues, and wants to see the society moving forward by change..
i've no doubt he just wants to encourage me to up my hours or reach out again, but it's nerve wracking, as i know i'll say something i'll regret.
be polite and dont give anything away

Therefore I am sticking to the point which is simply that the tsanami does not logically present a fatal flaw to theists.
Do you see a progression in theistic apologetics?
500 years ago heretics were burnt at the stake
100 years ago to deny God was social suicide
Today believers are reduced to a small lonely voice in the corner pleading for 'logical possibility'
Sunshine is a powerful disinfectant.

@flamegrilled
I like you - you seem to be lucid, which makes a pleasant change :-)
The point is far more simple than that. We can acknowledge that it is possible that a higher being has a reason for doing something that appears unloving from our standpoint - but only because we have incomplete information.
Most things are possible. That's why we invented probable.
250k drowned people for no reason = christian bible god probably doesn't exist.
