One Reason Why I Worship the God of the Bible
by snowbird inwhile this may be construed as a rebuttal to nvr's thread re: why i post about atheism, that is not my intent.. it is my intent, however, to show how i developed a belief in and love for the god of the bible.. my paternal grandfather, who died before i was born, was a baptist preacher, so you could say i cut my teeth on the bible.
i loved having it read to me, and once i learned how, reading it for myself.
i'm convinced that spirituality runs deep in my blood.. i've always had such a strong sense of right and wrong that injustices make me literally sick.

If you kill a lot of innocent people it is murder. If you believe for example the flood actually happened and God caused said flood that means he killed a hell of a lot of innocent children and babies. You can play around with justifications all day long but if a human did that he/she would be demonised kind of like Hitler and Stalin were. The God of the bible has all the characteristics of the war mongering people of the time strangely enough......... coincidence?

Comparison between jw elders and catholic priests
by freydi inaside from their theological weirdities, i'm wondering about their function.
eg, if you had a personal problem who would you most likely trust for just resolution involving a confessional type situation?

I personally would trust neither with any "confessions" I had to make, neither of them are professional therapists. I would honestly rather write a letter to "Dear Deidre" in The Sun

Why I post about atheism
by nvrgnbk inoftentimes the accusation is made that there is some sort of conspiracy on jwd amongst the atheists to convert, humiliate, spit on, or otherwise degrade the believers.
it's been suggested that their tone is condescending and arrogant.. it's hinted at that they're angry and bitter about their own lives and want to take it out on god and his humble servants.. others think it's all just an excuse to lead what they judge to be a morally depraved life.. regardless of what we believe about god's existence or lack thereof, most rational adults understand that when we attempt to judge the motives of others we can miss by a mile.. so here's the reason i post about the topic of atheism.... i was born as one of jehovah's witnesses, fourth generation.
i was being indoctrinated with jehovah while i was still in the womb.

He kind of does like to murder a lot of people though doesn't he? I cannot say that the God of the bible does not exist but even if it was proved he did I would not give him worship, don't think I could worship a being who I have a higher set of morals than

I love these atheist/theist debates
Atheist - you cannot prove God
Theist - Can you prove there is not a God?
Whatever, it is all kind of irrelevant anyway, it is the kind of debate where everyone is a winner woohoo
I'm an atheist, I will never believe in some super duper creative being with absolutely no proof and the best argument being "I can't think of anything else". A few thousand years ago I reckon there was a guy just like me looking at the sun (not directly!) thinking "this is crap, I don't think that big, warm round thing in the sky is a god" and someone saying "aaahhhhh but can you prove it is not??"

Strange how no one ever has a problem with the rio de janiro carnival with it's topless brazilian hot love goddess's eh?
hmmmmmm give it another 50 years and maybe the blanket sweeping generalisations of the gay community might just be a thing of the past.
I love how in a world where earthqukes kill thousands, cyclones kill thouands, famine kills 100's of thousands, cities are bombed, terrorists blows themselves and others with them and gun toting gangs sprawl around neighbourhoods, the practices of some gay people in the bedroom and them DARING to want to get married can result in such heated emotions

I love how in the talking donkey story how balaam is perfectly fine with his donkey talking to him. If he knew his scriptures he would also know the only precedent for a talking animal was a snake and look how that ended. Everyone was doomed and snake has to crawl on it's belly for the rest of it's days (the snake got off rather lightly I thinks)
