The original sin

by onacruse in

this is a question i've had for a long time.. according to the biblical account, adam and eve's sin was to eat fruit from the forbidden tree.. now, ordinarily, when we get caught doing something "wrong," we try to hide the "offending" member (the child tries to hide his hand that has the 'stolen' cookie; we hurriedly try to pull our pants back on when mom walks in unexpectedly while we're masturbating, etc.)..

so, if the "sin" of adam and eve was eating a forbidden fruit, then why wasn't their first impulse to hide their hands?

or to wipe off their mouths?

"Our creator is the God of truth."

No, your "creator" is the planet you live on and you are here due to millions of years of biological evolution. Since you obviously wont accept that fact, even if you choose to believe a silly creation myth written by ignorant, superstitious and barbaric desert nomads 2000 years ago, if your god created the universe and all its contents, he is ultimately responsible for evil as well.

"If we can't believe the Bible, what else is there that we can go on?"

I suggest you put down a silly book of mythology written 2000 years ago and try using your brain.

"My belief in God's Word allows me to keep my bearings and make a more sensible life for myself."

How very sad. I guess you cant believe in yourself, so you must project your human insecurity onto fictional sky-gods for your psychological anesthesia. However, given that you believe the bible can provide a "more sensible" life, does this mean you support the biblical suggestion that disobedient children should be taken to the village square and publicly stoned? Taking biblical barbarism to its literal extreme would only create a "more sensible life" for a deranged sociopath, I'm afraid.

"The more I believe it's true, the better my life gets. To me, it's about sanity."

Hmmmm. The "more" you believe its true? It is either true or it is not. Truth is not a sliding scale nor is it a quantifiable commodity. It is what it is; a reflection of reality. Anybody with a grade 6 education is well aware of the absurd, physically impossible gibberish the bible is filled with. Having said that, if you can derive sanity, by believing in the INSANE, more power to you....

Such a simple question

by 5thGeneration in

an elder friend just asked me the most simple question.. "if you had all the power, would you still let the world be like this?"..

i answered "of course not".. then he just said "hmmm"..

"If you had all the power, would you still let the world be like this?".

No. But if the alternative is the sanitized, surreal "new world order" proposed by the Watchtower goons, my answer would emphatically be yes.

IF GOD COULD DO JUST ONE THING..........

i asked myself this question recently.. "if god could do just one thing that would make it clear he actually exists in order to convince the world today---what would it be?".

.

how would you answer?.

kid-A

If this hypothetical god somehow managed to irrefutably prove it's existence, it would be irrelevant to me.

I simply reject the premise that HUMANS are inferior to ANY "hypothetical" creature in the sky.

I would not bow down before it, I would not worship it, I would go on about my mortal human existence self-actualizing my ephemeral life for all that it is worth.

If "it" chose to kill me for refusing to perform degrading obeisance to it, so be it. It will simply prove its murderous nature.

I am a biological lifeform. I am a human being. I am intrinsically connected to all biological life on this planet. "Supernatural" nonsense has no interest to me whatsoever.

i think most of you already know what i have been planning.

i have mentioned it somewhat already.

i have sent bits of pieces of my story to several christian ministries, and they want to know more.

Wow.....I've gotta hand it to Q-boob, he seems to be a "troll with a strategy".....slowly establish trust on a thread, gradually slip in little snippets of Watchtower propaganda, then finally present a full-on Watchtower troll assault! Most JW trolls begin their posting with pro-JW crap, this one actually managed to disguise it quite well until page 7.....

What do you think of Benny Hinn,Joyce Meyer, and Joel Osteen Ministries?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

the whole objective of the wts is to print as many books and magazines and sell them house to house with free labor from its members.. looking at these other ministries,they too print as many books as possible and sell them to it's members and viewing audience.the donations they take in are in the millions.

some of these ministers are payed a huge salary and live in massive homes which have been shown on television.. my questions are: don't all religions use their members for gains in the name of god?

don't all religions own massive properties,schools,and personal properties all in the name of god?

Joel Osteen:

Very little "religious" content to his tele-church. Mostly sugar-coated pablum and "awww-shucks" 'motivational' blathering. Face appears to be made of rubber.

Benny Hinn:

BLOOMING NUTTER. He looks like the love child of Ricardo Montalban and Herve Villechaise, especially in his ridiculous, Saturday Night Fever "white suits"....scary stuff kiddies...

Possibly the weirdest hair I have ever seen!

Joyce Meyer:

She scares me. I think she could kick my ass. Most likely a transvestite or perhaps an alter ego of Dana Carvey?

If the bible is from God then explain this!

by Anti-Christ in

nu 31:17-18 moses, following the lord's command, orders the israelites to kill all the midianite male children and "... every woman who has known man ...." (note: how would it be determined which women had known men?

one can only speculate.

dt 21:10-13 with the lord's approval, the israelites are allowed to take "beautiful women" from the enemy camp to be their captive wives.

Mad: "LOLOLOLO! I have no desire to justify ANYTHING- nor explain anything to you"

"I like the fact that there are two major cultures in Canada, one French and one Anglo."

While these remain the dominant cultures and Canada is officially bilingual (our government operates equally in French and English), the social fabric of Canada is changing exponentially. Canada is arguably the most multicultural nation on the globe and a walk through downtown Toronto or Montreal will reveal the multilingual and multicultural fabric that makes up all major Canadian urban centres.

As for multicultural cuisine, within a 5 block radius in downtown Toronto, you will encounter authentic Chinese (szechuan, hunan, etc etc), Thai, Indian (southern and Northern), Ethiopian, Iranian, Afghan, Vietnamese, Italian, Greek, Portugese, Mexican, Spanish, Argentinian, Brazillian, Colombian, Lebanese, Jamaican restaurants. And this is just describing the immediate 5 block raduis around the area I used to live in the downtown core.
