Where do atheists' morals come from?
by dorayakii inmany theists believe that atheists have no morality at all.
they argue that because atheists dont believe in the laws, limitations and boundaries that god has set up for us, there's nothing stopping them from becoming violent, lying thieving sociopaths.
there have been many stories of people who have "found god" and changed their life, giving up drugs, repenting for past crimes.

What was your saddest day as a JW?
by jambon1 ini had many days like this but i will never forget the time that a 'prominent elder' publicaly declared that he wants to see the worldly people die at armaggeddon.
"i hope that i can look out the window & watch it all happening".
i went home and thought; 'wtf am i a part of here'?

What is the best way to help BurnTheShips...
by nvrgnbk into grasp that the basic purpose of science is to produce useful models of reality.
how to help him understand that trying to make observable reality "fit" around a collection of writings designed in its first half to inspire the oftentimes persecuted jewish people and in its second to consolidate the fragmented roman empire is an exercise in futility?.
sorry, burn.. i couldn't resist.. hope you're having a wonderful day,.

How about all holding hands in a circle and singing:
ooh, Jesus, i love you
and i love Buddha, too
Ramakrishna, Guru Dev, Mohammed
why do some people say
that there is just one way
to love you god and come to you?
we are all a part of you
is the universe your thought?
you are and you are not
you are all and you are none,
ever ending, just begun
alright
alright
alright
i love you and Buddha, too
