Why are people so offended by this?

i've been doing a lot of thinking and have been leaning toward a new conclusion about god.

i'm thinking that i believe in his existance but think that he does not play an active role in our lives.

he does not cause evil but also does not bless...... what do you think?.

reniaa said:deism - belief in a disinterested God

that's not accurate. the difference between deist is we don't pretend to know what god wants, or, what his intentions are. we would rather live by a moral code because it's the right thing to do, not because we have spiritual pipe dreams.

most deist hope for some kind of after-life, but, we don't worry about it. whatever happens, happens. we don't use our ideas to control other people, we don't have churchs taking in millions of dollars in the name of god.

abraham lincoln said " when i do good, i feel good, when i do bad, i feel bad, i feel bad, that is my religion"

most of the great minds were deist. greek phylosophers, the founding fathers, albert einstein, the list goes on.

people crack me up when they say, read the constitution of the united states, we are a christian nation. BULLSHIT!!! yeah, go read the constitution, show me one time christ is refrenced. he's not!!!! this country was founded on deist principals.

Do you believe in the Deity of Christ?

by UnDisfellowshipped in

no one comes to the father except through me.

if you had known me, you would have known my father also.

(see hebrews 1:10; colossians 1:16-17; john 1:3).

what apostate info was around in early 80's?

by highdose in

a jw i know i very fond of telling people that he read apostate stuff in the early 80's and that when he later came into the turth it was proved to him that it was all lies ( the apostate info that is).

i've always wondered what it was he read, and how it could have been refuted by the dubs?.

and no, i've got no way of asking him, not without landing myself in hot water.

i know crisis of conscience was out, as was gentile times revisited. i don't know if anything else was out at that time. crisis of conscience was good, but gentile times is what really did it for me.

the city I live in has had 1 criminal homicide in the last 4 years and averages about 30 domestic robberies per annum

no need to get too stressed about that sort of thing

live in a big city for a while, then come talk to me. i live in new orleans. this is a very violent city. most of the time, the violence is contained to certain areas that are known for drug trafficking, but, it is still dangerous. a few months ago, a bartender was walking home when 2 thugs robbed her. she gave them her money, and after she did they shot her in cold blood. another woman was in her home when some scum broke in, robbed raped and killed her. sorry, i WILL NOT be cival to vermon like that.

this is a thread to anull our baptisium...

by highdose in

i'll start:.

the borg makes a big deal out of the fact that everyone choses of their own free choice to be baptised, so on that same basis i see no reason why i can't chose to anul it.. i highdose here by anull my baptisium to the borg on the basis that:1) i had been both brain washed and pressured in to doing it 2) i did not understand what i was joining 3) i was a child 4) i never said my baptismal vows anyway 4)had i waited till i was adult i would never have gotten baptised.. therefore my baptisum is invaild ( not worth the paper its written on so to speak) i never was a jw, i'm not now and i don't intend to be ever in the future.. ...there that feels alot better!

would anyone care to join me?.

i look at it like this. i sell cars for a living. if you signed paperwork on a nice shiny brand new car, then when you come out of the finance office, i pull up riding a donkey, and hand you the rings, and say, this is what you really bought, that contract would not stand up 5 seconds in a court of law. same thing with my baptism, i signed up for a ferrari, and got an ass

if my house gets broken into I will kindly offer to help the baddies load my stuff

then I'll get some new stuff - seems much more civilized for all concerned

i sincerly hope your joking. are you actually saying we should be cival to criminals? holy crap. wtf dude. if they want to rape your wife will you hold her legs up? we wouldn't want to be un-cival would we? sorry to say something so cold, but, man, pull your head out of your ass. and after you save up, and work hard, and buy new things, here they come again. do you let them take advantage of you again? you cannot be serious.
