Must you use every thread to proselytize?
Obsession!
BTS
They were sincere questions.
Your choosing to ignore them doesn't make those asking them obsessed.
Have any satisfactory answers?

This is tragic, no doubt about it.
If you're a believer, how do you explain it?
If God took them, why be sad?
If He didn't do it, why did He let it happen?

They don't leave things in God's hands.
Christians take action where action is possible, where it is not possible, they leave it to God.
They don't ask God to avenge them.
Christians ask God to forgive their enemies.
I was talking abut atheists.
What's with the Christian comments?
You have a dilute understanding of Christianity.
BTS
It's always pleasant chatting with you.

That would mean that you are merely an automaton, even if a complex one.
What it means is that my decisions/actions are based upon my genetics and the totality of my life experience, including the information I've been exposed to.
It means that we're all doing just about the best we can for who we are and where we've been.
It doesn't mean that we can't try to improve ourselves or shouldn't feel remorse for past errors.
It just means that there are reasons for what we've done far more complex than simply being "good" or "bad".
There is a lot of compassion in that understanding, don't you think?

Thanks, Will!
They don't believe in free will. In other words, they understand that there are complex but knowable reasons for all human actions. They don't credit God for the good or blame Satan for the bad.
They don't leave things in God's hands.
They don't ask God to avenge them.
They know that science isn't an entity or a deity of some sort, but rather our best way of explaining reality with the facts that we have.

you don't need to exaggerate the foibles of xians to get the point across that they are not "the truth".

can you state some facts that show that xians are not "normal'' and that their religion is weird?.

does this make sense to you, minimus?

So by your reasoning, Burn , the lurking JW that stumbles on one of the "Why do you think Witnesses are so stupid?" threads should feel ridiculed
They likely would. I would have turned tail and run when I was fully part of the Org and had seen this. I was helped out mostly by a Yahoo group "Evangelicals and JWs" where that kind thing does not exist.
and conclude that all ex-JW's are ravenous and devoted to 'beating their former brothers and sisters' as they've been led to believe?
It would be an incorrect conclusion, but I can see how someone who is fully immersed in the Org would come to that conclusion.
BTS
Thanks for understanding, Burn.
I love you, my human brother.

I suppose any group of peole have their quirkiness.
Exactly.
My beliefs are at the core of who I am. Your thread does not invite a reasonable discussion, but ridicule instead. Even the newbie gets it.

Another attack thread.
Nice.
Xtians are not welcome here.
BTS
Not at all, Burn.
Minimus sarted the same thread about JW's.
It has about three pages.
Do you think JW's are worthy of our hate, are deserving of "attacks"?
If you think they are ok as individuals but it's their beliefs that you take issue with, then you must understand that this thread is not intended to "attack" Christians.
Why do u hate christians so much?
I like the Christians that have a sense of humor.
