what would the world be like?.
for example, today orthodox jews and christians don't kill witches and homosexuals because they can't legally.. but if things were as their god decreed in the bible, they'd be dead.. islam, when it has enough power to enforce it's laws, summarily kills and dismembers those that offend allah.. so if you're unhappy with all the gays and druggies and atheists and witches and hippies, are you secretly longing for the day when your deity of choice exterminates them?.

My god would be smart enough to send us a book that was clear and easy to understand by all humans from all walks of life.
This book would create unity and harmony and inspire us to love, and bring an end to ignorance and hatred.
My god would also be seen by one and all and make their presense known so that there was NO DOUBT of their existence and love.

i haven't seen this topic on here so i thought i'd.... hmmm, maybe it's because it's just too disturbing?
to me, the scene in saving private ryan - the two soldiers in the small upstairs room fighting hand to hand to the death (by stabbing).
i think that is the most disturbing thing i've seen on screen and there were plenty just in that film alone.
The movie Seven disturbed me with nightmares for quite a few months...

For me it would be a Star Trek kind of a world, yes I know I'm a nerd.
I'm with Anti-Christ.

Um, Bizzy, perhaps you were not aware that eryn is under going treatment that is extremely taxing physically.
Since we don't live near her to be able to knock on her door and see if she is ok,
we get worried when we don't hear from her.
Why do we get worried? because we care about her and love her.
i was wondering why da or df jw no longer believe in god when they make up their mind to no longer attend a meeting.
first off let's not say that all of us become athiest when leaving.
many on this board believe in god.
Blue,
We are what we are , and the full experience of what we are is all I am putting forth , it has nothing extraordinary to offer, just clarity and understanding, knowing that we are already complete and need nothing other than a very simple understanding of our own true nature to free us from the delusions that cause our suffering in the face of the inevitable .
As to proof what do you mean exactly?
Are you numb to your own sense of what you are?
Do you have a presence of energy in your being?
The fact that you are capable of existing is all the proof I can offer, it is simple beyond belief and if one isn't ready to recieve what is always available then the suffering isn't over for that individual, and more must be experienced.
We are all the same inside , only our story is unique.
Great post. I hear you.
I recently bought a house and my sister is moving in with me. I'm not sure how the sister or brother that I study with will feel. I really don't care right now.
See? you have much more common sense than you give yourself credit for!
Love and accept your sister, you will not regret it. I promise.
You will regret becoming a witness, if you do. You will regret it when they make you decide between religion and her.
I would just stop them in their tracks, and get your education, which is awesome by the way!
You will be light years ahead of all of them and you will be happy.
Being a witness only brings sorrow and misery. I was one since birth. I used to believe.
Do your research on their history, go to www.jwfacts.com
You're a smart girl, you'll soon see this religion for what it really is...
gotta love the hope scary invisible spirits gives us mere mortals.. .
sect holes up in cave to await end of world by tatyana ustinovathu nov 15, 8:57 am et.
at least 30 members of a russian doomsday cult have barricaded themselves in a remote cave to await the end of the world and are threatening to commit suicide if police intervene, officials and media said thursday.. "they have covered the entrance and refuse to come out and are threatening to blow themselves up," an official in the local prosecutor's office told reuters by telephone.
News like this just makes me angry
that religion was formed,
that the bible was written,
that the Qu'ran was written.
All those writings have done is created misery and
inspired insane ignorant people to take advantage of innocent, ignorant uneducated persons.
Nothing wrong with believing in god and following the bible or the qu'ran as a personal decision,
it's the leaders of religion and cults who make life miserable for the followers.

many on this board believe in god.
Usually those who come to the conclusion that there is no god
do so either because
A) They cannot reconcile all of the suffering and god not doing anything about it,
or
B) They have done research and have found the Bible, to be seriously wanting in the accurate department.
A book that is as riddled with as many contradictions, and scientifically inaccurate details, as the Bible is,
it is hard for many to logically conclude that it was inspired by a much higher, intelligent being.
It takes faith to believe in the Bible as God's word.
I can see the possiblity that we were created, but as for god being around in our day?
I see no reason to believe in a being that does not care enough to stop the suffering of it's creation
God is either dead, or indifferent, or worse - malevolent.
the watchtower uses this concept a lot.
the idea that humans are somehow becoming more and more imperfect as the decades go by.. they use this to justify the fact that ged required incest of adam and eve's children, and noahs children.
because, i quote: "with that information, from where would you say that cain got his wife?
Great points, Liberty and worldtraveller.
