  Is Atheism a Form of Blind Faith?

  if god is outside of nature and therefore cannot be proved or disproved by science, is atheism a form of blind faith?

  after all, it cannot be defended on the basis of pure reason.. steven jay gould said;.

  "science simply cannot by its legitimate methods adjudicate the issue of god's possible superintendence of nature.

  I've never met an atheist who believes that. I continue to meet christians who do though.

  I was born & raised in the truth. I don't remember finding many of the girls very attractive. One or two in my teens maybe, but they all had awful personalities. All of my real 'love interests' have been in the world.

  Revelation was just one of many apocalyptic books written in it's time. They were all much of a much, it's just that Revelation caught on more than the others and eventually became cannonised as a result. You could think of it as the 1st/2nd century equivelent of the Harry Potter books. There are lots of popular children's books today, but the Harry Potter books have caught on the most (i mean, how many other books today are being made into feature films before the series of books have even been finished?) & will likely be the only ones still remembered by the average Joe in years to come.

  richard dawkins said this:.

  "...well, i think it is fair to say that if you were to...".

  you can read it in context somewhere else probably.

  I think they should keep away from subjects like baby-killing as well.

  Richard Dawkins said this:

  "...Well, I think it is fair to say that if you were to..."

  You can read it in context somewhere else probably. I think what we can see from this is that Richard Dawkins agrees that Atheists are just mere animals & therefore their opinions on God will be lacking in objectivity due to their wanting to indulge in their animal passions all night long & ultimately reject God, who is obviously Jesus.

  I wonder how long it will be before someone gives me the "Oh but animals are sentient and have brains as well!" strawman...

  i know while in the org we get told alot to tell everyone that we are jw's, cos its reputation is so good.

  but that dosn't explain why people still refuse to answer the doors to them, or hide when they come aknocking.. so how are jw's really viewed by the outside world?.

  Who Or What Influenced You The Most To Get Out Of The Religion?

  for me, i think it was time and the realization of the idiocy of the beliefs and man made doctrines.

  i just couldn't ignore it any longer..

  I think the onset of adulthood was the main thing for me.
