"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character...

...in all fiction:jealous and proud of it; petty, unjust, unforgiving, control freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty, ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevent bully.

", says richard dawkins in the god delusion p51.

he goes on to say, "those of us schooled from infancy in his ways can become desensitized to their horror".. would you agree?.

Mariusuk.

So any conclusion on the question of whether God (O.T ver. 1) was a thoroughly nasty piece of work? Maybe a poll would have worked better! My answer - Of course he/she/it was, commiting genocidal acts, allowing the the mental and physical torture of one of your faithful followers, cursing an entire nation for one of Noah's son's indiscretions and randomly killing people for trivialities are all hallmarks of a celestial sociapath. Amazing that this is even in dispute

What are your Guilty Pleasures of a geeky/nerdy variety?

by Crumpet in

friends

i don't mean the ones we know about already - things people wouldn't think you did or enjoyed to look at you.. i love watching ray mears extreme survival and learning about how to survive and find food and shelter in extreme climates even though there is a strong possibility that i shall never try and escape naked from a japanese prisoner of war camp, or crash without a flagon of water into the sahara, or come stuck in my ship in a freezing ice plateau in deepest antartica.

.

what's your guilty geeky pleasure?.

Mariusuk.

Hmmm

Star trek, Stargate, Buffy, Dark Angel, Alias, LOST, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, The 4400

as well as chess, backgammon, scrabble

Study astrophysics (as much as I can understand), Watching various history documentaries

Embrace your inner geek

"I saw a great crowd no man was able to number"

Clearly the WTBTS somehow equates their 6 odd million membership as a crowd that no man could number. (and yet they still try and put a number on it anyway along with stats on publishers, pioneers, average hours, new recruits, new baptisms)

Nina

We all go a little crazy sometimes, I am positive that all of us have some kind of mental instabilities at one point or another. You can't be really all that crazy if you know you are because if you were you wouldn't know, you know. (If you get that then maybe you are lol)

Kisses precious, the pills will be sweet

The Myth Of Evolution

by whereami in

this should stir things up!

haven't finished reading it.

thought some of you would get a kick out of it.

Mariusuk.

The fact remains that they have not proven it beyond a shadow of a doubt that evolution is nothing more than a theory

Nonsense evolution is a fact, the theory is the part which deals which speculating on HOW it happens

How do we know some space ship didn't crash land with ape like species aboard?

What like a pet? Or the ape was flying the ship?? Is there ANY evidence for this space ship, I mean I know you believe everything exists because some super god click his celestial fingers one day as he was bored so it doesn't surprise me that you would put forth such a dumb theory as a space ship bringing an ape to earth.

By the way their is ample evidence to show how evolution occurs, honest it is out there, free of charge, accessible to all IF you be bothered to study

Science always jumps to conclusions in the field of evolution and seem to always find that the latest discorveries are more related to animal than they are to man after it comes under scrutiny

Now you are just making things up, could you post something to back this ridiculous statement up? You should have more respect for people who have the desire to find answers, people who are not content to give a mythical god credit BECAUSE they know no better. If it was not for people like this we would not have things you no doubt take for granted like the internet and airplanes
