in my eyes everything that needs exegesis is not written with the goal to be understood. and you act like "scripture interpretation" of the past 2000 years would have been something homogenous... awake!

What if God IS a farce?
by LouBelle inthat would really rock my world as i know it.
after i initially left the jws' i did question the whole "is there a god"" especially when you look around and see all the atrocities - the sick sick things happening in your own back yard.then i put it out of my mind and carried on believing in a god.. right now i choose to believe in a god, whether that god be jesus, jehovah, buddha, allah, shiva, it doesn't matter - i'm happy with the idea that there is a spiritual & powerful someone running things.however lately i've been questioning again - so many posters on here that are atheists really make good arguments & i can't reason my way out of it.. why does god keep so quiet?
why not just let us know - tadaaaa i'm here.

is there any reason why you'd take that verse literally? btw, no talk about the bible canon as we know it in that verse. it talks about all god inspired scripture - which is like.. the quran, mormon, watchtower... you name it.

somewhere i read that the earth would be a better place without having all those people trying to improve it... which probably is the case, as everyone has a different view of "better".

> 2 Timothy 3:16-17 New Living Translation
even if i'd find anything about the bible in this text - you can't prove something by itself. that's like "what i say is true, because i say it". -

time is just a measure for different states of the universe as an entity. there can't be a movement, a making, even a thought without time. -

loubelle, while it's non of my business what you believe and i don't gain anything by attempting to "convert" anybody to atheism, i want to add this:
you say, you'd chose the label "atheist", if you'd be sure that there is no god. well, i felt that way for quite some time too. i was comfortable with the term "agnostic" though. but as i always try to point out, atheism does not necessarily say with a 100% security that there is no such thing as gods. it sufficient to say: "there's just no reason/evidence/proof to believe in a god" to be an atheist. in fact, atheism is agnosticism thought to the end.
it's clear that the judeo-christo-muslim gods along with most other gods described in books are impossible. it's a 100% sure they don't exist. but you could always make up a god that can't be disproven. like there's no 100% proof that there's no chinese teapot orbiting the moon. the question is, what good is a made up god? -
