  Atheist: What words of comfort do you give when you find out someone is terminally ill?

  by cyberjesus in

  i found out someone i know is terminally ill. before i would put my jw hat and give them comfort from the bible and the hope of resurrection.

  but now that i dont believe in paradise nor in heaven what do you say to someone who is terminally ill and still has some religious beliefs?.

  As an atheist I don't see how you can spin untimely death into something good or even have any words of comfort when you believe it's the end. Just tell them how you truly feel. Say to them that this is end of their life and they have absolutely no hope of ever living again or seeing any of their loved ones again. Remind them that their life has been cut short and there are so many things they always wanted to do but will now never experience. If they have small kids or grandkids, talk about how they'll never see them graduate school, get their first job, get married, have kids of their own, and any other happy life events we all look forward to. Don't forget to mention all the pain their death will cause the surviving family members, some of which may become depressed and end up using drugs or committing suicide or just having their lives completely destroyed from all the grief. Whatever you tell them, just make sure your being honest with the person who's ill and yourself.

  An Explanation of why TIME TRAVEL does not work

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  energy and matter are neither created nor destroyed.. consequently, the building blocks of existence are actually finite parts.. to create things in "tomorrow" which are new, something has to be dismantled to leave spare parts for tomorrow's new thing.. the old thing deteriorates, (dies/disintegrates) and the parts become available to make the new thing.. time travel requires going to a place where today's parts are available to be rearranged.. some of today's things persist as they are, of course.

  they only travel through time by persisting as they are.

  (mountains, for example.).

  I will have to disagree with this statement.

  Ok? I didn't laugh at all watching those clips, especially the second one where there wasn't any punch lines or jokes. What exactly was I suppose to find funny about the dinosaur clip anyway?

  here are the basic procedures if a prisoner wants to apply for parole.

  the similarities to requesting reinstatement are quite remarkable, don't you think?.

  The most despised group

  by poopsiecakes in

  i stumbled across this blog today...very interesting!

  i'm not sure if anyone else has posted this or not - i couldn't find a thread...sorry if it's a duplicate.. .

  atheists are the most despised minority in americamar 25th, 2009 by cindy.a 2006 university of minnesota study revealed that atheists are the most despised minority in america.

  This group does not at all agree with my vision of American society…

  Atheist: 39.6%
  Muslims: 26.3%
  Homosexuals: 22.6%
  Hispanics: 20%
  Conservative Christians: 13.5%
  Recent Immigrants: 12.5%
  Jews: 7.6%

  I get the feeling "Blacks" were intentionally left out to support the author's hypothesis that atheist are the most hated group in America when historically "blacks/African Americans" were the most hated group in American history. This fact makes me question the integrity of this report.

  Atheists consist of about 10-15% of the US population but are only 0.21% of the prison populations. So, the vast majority of atheists are morally sound without the need of a supernatural watchdog. It is important for atheists to stand up and be recognized in order to break the negative and wrong stereotypes of atheism.

  This statement doesn't take into account parole and prison gangs. A person who is up for parole will try everything possible to get out of prison early, one of which we see so very often is people claiming to find God in prison and promising the judge they are now a good person and won't commit any more crimes. 99.99% of the time it's total BS. Also prison gangs run prisons and in order to stay protected a person would have to join a gang and accept whatever traditional religious views those gangs have, i.e Mexican Mafia(catholic)aryan brotherhood(protestant),multiple black gangs(nation of Islam)etc.With these two factors individuals who never read the Bible or koran a day in their lives claims to be religious which manipulates the stats.

  Of course all of this is irrelevant because people who live by the teachings of Christ wouldn't break the law or commit adultery. This article is comparing atheist to people who claim to be Christians, not actual Christians.

  Very nice video! (Although I was kind of hoping the video showed you inside the hall partaking of the emblems just for my entertainment.)

  Please explain the point of being Good?

  by Brocephus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i never understood the point of being good and righteous if the only punishment for not doing so was "nothing" i would die and nothing would happen.

  just nothing, no hell, no pain, no regret... just nothing.. on the other hand if i am good.... i have to deal with the jw's and their rules and boring meetings forever!!!

  no worldly girls to sneak around with on saturday night.. no keg parties to sneak off too on friday?....

  The starting point of "Good" for the purposes of this conversation shall be following the Watchtowers rules so as not to incur God's angry wrath at armageddon and be humilitated and put down like a rabid dog. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

  Remember this is about a teenager asking his JW parents to please explain the point of all these stupid rules again...

  no military

  no football

  no dances

  no dating

  no holidays

  no birthdays

  get the idea?

  I don't think 'good' is the appropriate word to use. It's very misleading.
