"Today I interviewed an IT company to support my business run from home." -

"My girlfriend said that when she greeted them the Musilm man refused to shake her hand. The young lady explained that he could not do so due to his faith." -

In my opinion religion have nothing to do with the decision, even if it was mentioned. The truth is that at some point service will be required and this person might be involve to solve the problem. What is going to happened if the customer doesn't have a male representative available?

And you stopped there. Santan, forget satan. Don't you think it's about time to research god(s)?

The Lord placed two types of people on this, His only planet that matters:

(1) Those who critically analyze and evaluate all available information, making decisions, including those involving their belief systems, based on thought, facts and reason; and

(2) Folks who have been blessedly spared such tedium.

Take care,

PALE BLUE DOT

"The "pale blue dot" photo is great evidence of our special place in the universe. It was very affirming for me when I was religious and still makes me inclined to believe in a creator." -

People Believe Jehovah Is A God Of Love Because He Is A Bully

by frankiespeakin in

yes the god of the bible has done his share of being a murderous bully(according to the mythology found in the book), his holly motto seems to be through out: "do what i say or i will kill you".

of coarse cringing christian's because of their fear of the deity will proclaim that all these acts of slaughter that the bible ascribes to god as an act of love, and chime in with approval and superlatives when 1john 4:8* is read.

and i atribute it mainly to god being a bully in the bible and threatening to kill every one not having faith in him.. 8 l anyone who does not love does not know god, because m god is love.. .

If a killer invaded your home and held you at gunpoint, then began to converse with you about his life and yours, what would your first inclination be?

To butter him up, compliment him and make excuses for him, explaining that every problem he has is society's fault. You would do this in the hope he wouldn't pull the trigger.

That being said, the consequences of not playing along with the imaginary friend, are even worse than gunshot. Given god(s) violent inclination, any sane person with a commitment to self-preservation, not just in this life but in the next, would certainly be tempted to turn a blind eye to the atrocities committed by their imaginary friend.

The problem, of course, is that the Bible attributes so much carnage to God that the excuses eventually lose credibility.

Praying all will recognize that the Bible isn't all chocolate and strawberries.

The More I Think, The More I Lose Faith In BIBLE!!

by NoMoreHustle in

sitting through this weeks wt study.

paragraph came up about how "a fire came out from jah & consumed (korah and) the 250 men offering the incense".

i said to myself this supposedly happened couple of thousand years ago.

MadGiant

Remember that an open mind is the devil's favorite toy. When you open your mind, Satan jumps right into your head and will show you countless contradictions, inconsistencies, absurdities and downright silliness present throughout the Good Book.

It is important that we not exercise any rational thought when reading the Bible, for such tends to make God look bad.

The Chinese Chef who died making Cobra Soup, Yummy! Better than Human Fetus I guess.

by BucketShopBill in

better than eating human fetuses, on the dark-net you can see how chinese are able to buy aborted babies from hospitals to cook up for dinner.

they have been caught with human remains and human remains were sold in products to other asian countries, why do they eat little babbies?.

he's going to win the darwin award no doubt!.

MadGiant

The snake has heat-sensitive pits at either side of its face, which it uses to detect threats and let's face it, if you're close enough for your body heat to be detected, you're close enough to be considered a threat. Oh, and also what the hell are you doing standing so close to a venomous snake's face?

These heat-sensitive pits are capable of detecting a threatening presence for hours after death, which means the snake may continue to defend itself, zombie-style. And yes, this applies even if the body is no longer attached. So anyone dumb enough to poke and prod it to assess its level of deadness may quickly find themselves with a sudden increase in the level of pissiness of their pants when the snake's movement sensors kick into action.

But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom, because a snake's venom loses its toxicity after its death. Except that's a total lie, which means that getting bitten by a dead snake can make you just as dead as getting bitten by a living one, but add to the excruciating pain the severe humiliation, because who the hell loses a fight to a dead animal?

PART TWO of AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE BY A PRACTICING JEHOVAH'S WITNESS

by Sparks in

jw
friends

while you are sitting there reading this, there are literally hundreds of thousands of young males and females all over the world [ mostly in america / canada and england] sitting in their grotty little smelly bedrooms or flats, designing computer viruses that they will up-load onto web-sites to cause anonymous innocent peoples computers to malfunction.

these creeps spend literally weeks,months or even years hoping to make a computer viruses that will get into peoples computer bios to completely destroy their computers.

they never see the peoples anger, frustration and distress.... the damage can cost each person about 1,000 [ $1,660.74 ] or more to replace a basic new laptop or tower.

Is Faith Immoral?

by Coded Logic in

when people willfully believe something without evidence, or contrary to evidence, are they neglecting thier moral responsibility?

so many people say faith is a virtue but i just can't comprehend why anyone would think that.

.

MadGiant

"Mad Giant, we may be in another semantic dance. I equate reason and logic as the same thing. I am using the same region of my brain and conducting the same activities to come to a conclusion."

Trust me, I am not trying to wizzle my way out. I just want to learn. Moral reasoning, aims at reflecting and expanding on our moral, to bring them up to date with the complexity of the environment.

Logic is a method of verifying with high degree of certainty whether an argument constitutes a proof. With morality though, their is no such method, and people all the time make moral decisions that can be called into question by other moral arguments and are not logical.

But yes, morality has something to do with logic, but it is not logic “all the way down,” it is anchored by certain contingent facts about humanity and so forth.

And the ‘reasoning’ we use to think about morality doesn’t necessary resemble logical.

No problem, I'll leave it at that. I have no more arguments.

Respectfully,

Ismael

"MadGiant, morals may be a product of our evolutionary heritage, but they are not logical." -

From page 2:
"I am not sure if I understood your post, Morals are a product of reason/survival." - MadGiant

I still think that morals are a product of reason and survival. We don't have a sense of right, wrong or justice, we developed them within culture and society. And adjust them to ensure survival.

Reason and logic are two different concepts. The only similarity between reasoning and logic is that they both are types of thinking. Otherwise they are just the opposite.

Reason is subject to personal opinion, whereas logic is an actual science that follows clearly defined rules and tests for critical thinking.

"Even athiests attempt to break through a believer's mental armour by pointing out that some of the activities of the OT god are morally reprehensible." -

I agreed, but is thru reason. I know that many situations can lead you to accept a choice using logic instead of reason. But I think morals is a product reason/survival.
