The theory of God was born out of three things in the past. Ignorance, superstition, and fear. Nothing good comes from those three things. It was founded on nothing more and since then it has done nothing except cause problems. It gives a broad stroke to explaining everything. The mere idea is the enemy of thought discovery and knowledge. A tool of the ignorance. God is a simple, false, stupid idea. There is not only no evidence of God there is no need. It's a outdated superstitious myth.

Does Anyone Still Believe in God?
by LaurenM indo 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.

I've heard Viv ask a million times which god? No one ever answers her. Funny.
God is an idea with no purpose. Think about it. 'God' whoever the weak minded believe him to be at that time serves no real function. People used to see a comet and not know what it was so it was so claim *insert supernatural diety here*. You see they filled in what they didn't understand with "god". Humans have outgrown that but people still choose to hold on to this ignorance its sad. You see atoms and gravity etc it's a function and we search to understand and explain it. God is a useless idea theist force into explanation. It's useless! There is no God who gives two shits about you. He is an idea. And not even a good one.

can this slave labor come in say a sexual form?
I might sign up for that
but still there is not god, and the "if's" can't be beliefs, if panspermia, if engineered by another species, if we are a computer hologram, fun exercises in imagination for our brains but they are not fact, they are science FICTION until proven true. You can't take what you don't know, the void , and make it what you want it to be. Doesn't make it true.

I claim no tangible or empirical proof.
ie god does not exist
Your example of the atom is not good, because as we progress and learn less and less things are accredited to "supernatural" means and discovered to be natural laws. We aren't going to discover 'God' we are discovering away from god. You are using he atom example poorly. That is a great example of not saying god did it, and that is why science progresses. As long as we don't give credit to the J dessert god, or any other incarnation, we keep searching, learning, and growing. 'God' closes minds. It does the opposite of what you imply happened with the atom.

I think of these facts every time I have to sit through a stupid meeting and listen to the elder spewing out to the audience:
The world is so bad, isnt' it, its worse than ever, things get worse and worse, its worse than its ever been before, oh woe is us.
It makes my blood boil because all the R&F are soaking up and believing that dribble.
Thanks barbara,

And if the the justification for there being a god is the complexity and (implied) design found in the universe, how does 'God' himself escape the same justification?
Is he not (supposedly) the most complex, perfect thing in "existence"?
How does this 'God' fellow escape needing a creator himself?
Who built this "Jehovah's" perfect house?
Is your only justification for him not being created is because his bronze age authors say so?
Creationist insist the things they see around them are proof the big J is the creator, so the same should i apply to him, who's his creator?
Oh I know... ancient men

I have wondered if the Nickel contamination could be coming to bite them hard in the ass. Maybe someone (worker) got cancer? Class action lawsuits coming? -

Many have asked about the crazy talk from the brother from the GB's hall. Giving away some of the details may give me a way a bit but whatever. And i will do my best to recall everything crazy.
Lets begin.
So for starters this guy was grotesque, which really doesn't matter I guess, but it seemed to go hand in hand with his insanity so I'll say it. He used crutches to get to the stage. His family say in the back row, I was off to the left in the way way back on the isle, so behind them. His wife, sets up a tripod and camera to record his talk. She looked insane as well, some people just give off crazy.
He gets on stage, talk is about to start, as I lean down to put my books under the seat, this clown makes a machine gun sound with his, mouth, into the mic (this was how his talk started) and it was loud, like really really loud, and he starts screaming "allah akbar allah akbar!!!" loud as holy hell. Babies are crying, and everyone is looking around like WTF. Now as strange and mental as that is, when you consider the hall he was giving this part in it was next level. This particular neighborhood
- Had a ton of firefighters and police who lost their life during 9/11. In fact one of the elders was in one of the towers and survived.
- The neighborhood that was once was not, was not daily becoming more and more occupied by muslim's. Like a lot. And a lot of them from palestine, not the passive ones. Someone in the neighborhood had a license plate that read 'HAMA', needless to say the DMV revoked it after outcry.
So anyway, some of you new yorkers may know where I was, please only address it to me in PM. But these two things alone show that this was not the place for that, no place was, but especially not there.
He said other totally bizarre things, he eluded to himself (in his words) as "sexy".
He also said some misogynistic things about women, i can't remember it all, but the talk was straight crazy and incoherent. The elder body asked him to never return and probably also had some influence in him never giving a talk outside his own hall again. Not the only wacko I met from the GB's hall. All the crazies flocked there to worship the magnificent 7.
