  God and Evolution

  by BurnTheShips in

  2. beliefs

  during the second half of the nineteenth century, it became common to speak of a war between science and religion.

  but over the course of the twentieth century, that hostility gradually subsided.

  science should not try to become religion, nor should religion seek to take the place of science.

  post something positive.. .

  i'll make the start: after years of fading, my believing wife stopped attending the meetings also and i no longer have to be careful about what i'm talking about when hanging around with the rest of my jw friends.

  for me this is quite an achievement and i'm happy with it.. .

  atheism neither is a philosophy nor is it a belief system. it's a NON-belief. it simply means not being a theist. nothing more, nothing less. it's that simple...

  there are so many young couples in the org.

  locally that i have noticed do not want to have kids until the "new order".

  that's so freakin annoying that i feel like going up to all of them and smacking them upside the head and lettiing them know the whole truth about the "truth".

  living without a god/ess or multiple god(esse)s is as simple as living without santa clause.

  when debating with religionists, the biggest problem is semantics. take "faith". "having faith" as "trusting" can't be immoral per se, neither can not having faith/not trust. both can be faulted though.
  
  if i bet my money on a horse, i do that because i have faith that it will win the race. i hope so, i put my trust into that horse. if it does not win, i'll lose my money and i put my faith/trust at the wrong place.
  
  shifting the burden of proof around can be funny, but does not lead a discussion anywhere. neither do arguments ad populum et al.
  
  i wonder if you ever read marx or nietsche to call their "seed" "poisoned". one could say the same thing about luther, calvin, jesus, muhammad or whoever you wish.
  
  one thing christian and muslim religionists have in common with marxists and the like: they made books more important than humans - even though the writers most probably didn't even have the intention of setting any standard.
  
  while atheists are no homogeneous group, they usually adhere more to logic when reasoning, while religionists of any coleur usually take refuge in a logic-free zone.
