  Schoolyard bully mentality

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm not naming names, but i just want to encourage people on here or on reddit or twitter, and tell you that you do not have to tolerate people who act like schoolyard bullies in the way they speak to you online.

  i think anonymity is a big part of it.

  they feel like there is zero accountability so they can be a bully all they want.. i recommend just ignoring or blocking anyone who is verbally abusive or treats you like schoolyard bullies treated you.. life is way too short to spend any time dealing with those kinds of people..

  These discussions amount to this:

  For atheists it's a debate

  For theists bullying

  that should tell you something right there. Only religion makes people out to be apostates or infidels when the grow as a result of evidence based knowledge.

  The Case for Theism

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  "theism" here means "belief in a god" or "the worldview that an intelligent designer created the universe and life.

  " ("god" here means a being with a mind who initiated and/or wound-up the universe, and designed life on earth)the most common claim that i see atheists making on twitter, is that "no evidence" exists in support of belief in a god.this post will remove any excuse atheists have for claiming "no evidence exists" in support of an initiator.

  atheists can still reject this evidence as "weak," but they cannot truthfully say it does not exist.now, it is true that we do not have "observable, repeatable, falsifiable, empirical, scientific" evidence conclusively proving that an initiator exists, but we do have many lines of philisophical, experiential, and logical evidence.and... here... we... go:1:) many leading scientists, including stephen hawking, say that the space-time-matter universe had a beginning at the singularity/big bang.

  Well I love everyone. Even the wacky theists. Where did fusion go? Lol but i do agree we should not be held back from calling bad ideas what they are. But always put away ego and do it for growth, knowledge and progress. And occasional humor.

  I will pray to Odin for all of you.

  My Story of Waking Up - in retrospect

  by cappytan in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so, many of y'all know bits and pieces of my story of waking up, but i thought it might be nice to have it all in one place.. i was baptized at 11, auxiliary pioneered every summer, regular pioneer at 17, ministerial servant by 19, then went to bethel for a year.. i always had minor doubts from time to time, but nothing serious.

  always dismissed doubts and decided to "just have faith.".

  after leaving bethel, i was never really firing on all cylinders "spiritually speaking.

  Best way to degrade god is read the bible.

  In any event... this discussion is continuing proof/evidence whatever, that when the subject of god is brought up humans have problems with each other.

  But. That being said none of us godless ones (atheist agnostic or otherwise) are going to strap a bomb to our ass and blow innocent people to bits or shun anyone overy a disagreement on semantics.

  I think the biggest problem here is the OP making someone who is an Atheist out to be essentially admitting the existence of god (sort of what the watchtower does with misquoting scientists) and second, by not acknowledging it, Viviane has turned down my marriage proposal *sadtrombone*

  These two injustices are all the evidence I need their is no god!
