The upside of atheism

by paul from cleveland in

i realize whether you believe in god or the non-existence of god it has to be taken on faith since both positions are unknowable and unprovable.

however, i can understand faith in god as basically a hope for something better.

i can also understand agnosticism; admitting it's unknowable but still leaving the door open (perhaps the only intellectually honest option).

dudeson

Being an atheist doesn't bring peace. Knowing you have a reason to live brings peace. Why be so preoccupied with death?

I've realized that hope and faith don't equal truth. Knowing this I can't bring myself to the delusion that there is a heaven, hell or a god.

The theory of evolution is fascinating to me. It's much more fascinating than being created from dust.

Paul, that second to last sentence in your post is very disturbing to me.

I am an atheist too and I have no reason to "want to die". Do you not have family and friends that you love? Or do they not love you? Atheists don't want to die. They live life like theists but without the need for rituals, prayers and worship to an unseen deity. We have a reason to live but the reason isn't any god.

Any Ideas on the Next "Big Thing" that Will Bring the Watchtower Down?

by jamiebowers in

i received this via a face book pm from the group christian witness fellowship:.

also near the end of the show, richard rawe says "something extra big" is about to happen that will take watchtower "down," something bigger even than their pedophile scandal and the u.n. connections scandal put together.

he says he can't spill the beans yet, but the something is definitely coming.
