Why have you remained theists?

by Silent_Scream in

i realize many on this forum are atheist, and theres many threads to show why.

some believe creationist lack knowledge or understanding and that we are too ignorant to realize there isn't a creator.. i have studied (not in depth) first year college science, and am studying medical/health currently.

i am also very interested in astronomy, and have learned a little in that area.

Silent_Scream--- what an inspiring post. Found encouraging posts from Tec and Shelby earlier and now this. I've enjoyed reading why you're theists and needed this tonight. Appreciate knowing the Bible translations used by a couple of you --- thank you.

Watchtower Hate Speech and Intimidation Might be a Violation of US Federal Law

by DT in

the united states is more lenient than most countries when it comes to hate speech and allowing organised religions to have their way, even when they hurt others.

however, there are limits.

i found a federal law that seems strangely relevant to recent watchtower articles that labels former members as "mentally diseased" and discuss the "slaughter of apostates".

bandontherun --- OOOOPS --- SORRY, I meant to hit the "CANCEL" BUTTON ---- I know you are right on the law and hear the same thing all the time on this end --- OMG!

BandontheRun -- but how can the poor, uneducated, naive, gullible, be protected against these legal businesses a/k/a some evil religions. they have their marketing skills down and know a specific level of society will grab hold of their delusions of grandeur and they are easy prey. public, anti-cult groups implemented if there could be community training/awareness programs. maybe it's something the public/anti-cult groups need to implement. obviously, it's not the gov't's position/RIGHT to do this but the continuum swings way too far in religions' favor.
