  Which one of these artifacts, if found, would make you believe?

  many know, i am not a christian and see all religion as myths born from other myths and piled on with folklore.

  at the same time, i love archeology and like many others, enjoyed the indiana jones movies and so on.

  so i wonder, if you were like me or someone with the same similar disbelieve in christianity.

  Noah's ark would only confirm that there was a massive flood in the area of Mesopotamia.

  The holy grail would be what, an ancient cup? Uh... yeah.

  Now, if the ark of the covenant gave me piles when I looked upon it... that might make me a believer!

  Ah, yes, our atmosphere right now is 78% Nitrogen. But just imagine how much more will be pumped into our air when all those billions of icky people disintegrate at Armageddon! Jahboy better get hopping on that resurrection, cause we won't have hardly any oxygen to breathe until he does.

  Question - Could humans breath (survive) in at
  atmosphere containing pure oxigen?
  
  Yes they could...for a while and then they would begin suffering from oxygen
  toxicity which causes a number of serious problems not the least which are
  some pretty serious neurological damage.

  Bro. Alford's talk "The Wonders of Creation" at Cedar Point assembly September 1919, according to the Sandusky Register:

  [Talking about the Flood]

  " A whole earth full of exuberant life was destroyed, both animal and vegetable, also millions, doubtless, of the human race. This is evidenced by the present atmosphere surrounding the earth. Scientists tell us that 77% of the atmosphere is nitrogen, an inert gas which undergoes no change when it is breathed by animal and plant life. This, we are informed by those who have made it a study, is a gas composed of organic substances decomposed and changed to gaseous form, in other words, the element called nitrogen is the direct result of decomposition of organic matter at the time of the flood." [italics mine]

  [Gross, I'm breathing dead people...] WAIT THERE'S MORE.....

  "The wonderful economy of God is evidenced by the fact that when the resurrection takes place, and “all those that are in their graves shall come forth” by the end of the thousand years of the Millenuim, all the nitrogen will have been used from the air for the creation of the 20 billions of human bodies, and for the enriching of the soil of the earth, so that the restored human race will find the atmosphere composed of oxygen and carbon dioxide, the oxygen for the human race and the animals and the carbon dioxide for the plant life."

  So yeah, I guess we're all gonna breathe pure oxygen in the new system....

  Trying to leave the Witnesses is like trying to leave the Mafia = Death!

  by Witness 007 in

  2. experiences

  if you try to leave the mafia in italy they will hunt you down and kill you, there is no way you can quit and just walk away, you need to go into hiding always looking over your shoulder.

  it's the same with witnesses, you can't just quit, you need to be disfellowshiped and punished....and you'll always be worried looking over your shoulder even if you go into hiding.

  Oh so true! In fact, that's what I yelled (at the top of my voice) to the elders when they disfellowshipped me! It's a wonder they ever reinstated me.

  1985 I believe. I honestly don't remember their names. I enjoyed it at the time- it was always nice to do something different. Every single person there cried in front of us all at least once. That was cool.

  "NO EVIDENCE" for God, and creation? Maybe there is . .

  by hooberus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  atheists (however one defines the term) frequently use the term "no evidence" in relation to the existence of god, any type of creation, (especially genesis creation and flood), or most any other theistic claim.

  they almost always however claim that their beliefs are "backed by evidence" ; "overwhelming evidence" etc, etc, etc, etc, repeat, etc, repeat, etc.. (their beliefs generally tend to include whatever is necessary to believe in to intellectually "explain" the world without needing god).

  is there really "no evidence" for god, and creation?

  Will you reply to this topic or just read it?

  by compound complex in

  some topics generate hundreds of reads but few replies.

  others, well ... i'm not one for scientific studies.

  nor why one thing works and another will not, despite the time and effort put into it (whatever the thing/endeavor happens to be).. kindly inform me if you, in passing by and, having nothing better to do of a saturday eve, happen to see this post but have no intention of responding.. perhaps this is rocket science after all.. thank you for reading though finding no necessity to reply .... "they stayed away in droves.".

  Hey, i'm No Cal, too! What happened to our indian summer? Usually it's hot this time of year. I shouldn't complain tho, yesterday planes were flying so low over my house- I called the police and was told there was a fire right behind us. Contained, thankfully.

  Now what was I supposed to answer again?
