i am simply wondering if the atheist or non god believers every worry about what if your wrong?
No, I'm not worried one bit
i do not wish to debate anything here like i have said in the past i have much respect for most on this forum (believers and non believers) i am simply wondering if the atheist or non god believers every worry about what if your wrong?
it seems that many who were jw for so many years attach jehovah/yahweh with the watchtower and since the wt is wrong than god does not exist.
i ask this question only because i care about people and salvation thats why i want to help as many as possable come out of this cult,and since i truly believe in god i dont know what is in the cinscience of those who dont.

No, I'm not worried one bit
both claim to be the sole path to god (or did at some point ).
both claim to reach back to first century christians ,( though jw`s are a bit ambiguous about this).
the r.c church has a pope , the j.w.`s have a governing body ,both providing spiritual food to the faithful.
Paging Sulla...
when asked who was the wisest man, socrates said, "i know one thing, that i know nothing".. i can definitely say that what i thought was immutable truth 25 years ago is not what i now believe.
the older i get, the less certain i am of what is definitely true.. ageing and life experience teaches us in the end that we really know nothing.
life is very humbling.. do you agree with socrates?.
to know you know nothing is to know something
one cannot know nothing
;)
Ridley Scott, Martin Scorsese, Terry Gilliam, Coen Brothers come immediately to mind as directors I look out for
Yea, Danny Boyle, he's good. Chris Nolan too.

This thread is still going? What can possibly be the argument here?
None really. It's just offense to an opinion and a judgement made. Fuck it and the Middle Age piety behind it.
Move along, nothing to see here ;)
conspiracy theories have become a new hobby of mine - although that doesn't mean i put any great faith in any of them.
nevertheless, i see certain reasons for considering them.
1) because conspiracies are how the world is run, in fact.
But, the best laid plans of mice and men always screw up, somewhere.
True more often than not, I'd say. Even in modest endeavors, murphy's law rules.

I think I have been pretty up front and sincere with my arguments.
I have no respect for such arguments or their judgements based in ignorance and religious delusion
i just wanted to take a survey.
let's not let this get into the same old same old debate of atheism vs belief.
just respond with "atheist" or "believer" or "maybe god exists".
The voice in my head tells me there is no "being" called god
we should set 3 topics.
1. creation and evolution (origins of life).
2. religion.
Did anyone mention the "Jesus saves but Gretzky scores on the rebound" one yet"

However, I think atheists aren't being completely objective about the posibility that their ideology can and is being used by elites as a form of social and biological control
I have no doubt there are players in the political arena. Whether this is a threat or progress may be matter of opinion.
It may be noted that theist idealogy has been used as a form of control at high levels throughout history and cultures to a far greater degree than any atheistic "belief" structure. A mere sampling of history may support the supposition.
Control in some form or another has and continues to be a fact of life. Pick a flavour ;)
