  BESTSELLERS--who actually buys these things?

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just think, rush limbaugh and bill o'reilly are knocking about on top of the bestseller list to the tune of 52,000+ copies each!.

  i say, who buys these books?.

  i've read killing lincoln, killing kennedy and killing jesus--but, i did it by sitting in the library--not by plopping down $20+ bucks each.. i only read one rush limbaugh book.. i use to be a political junkie but stopped cold turkey exactly 11 months ago.. i no longer watch any political programs or read any political books.. i'm a lot happier for it it, too.. .

  Did Jesus really exist?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i had been wondering over the past few years whether there really was a historical jesus at all, until a few months ago when i read bart ehrman's latest book "did jesus exist?

  " initially i was persuaded by his argument that the nt contains multiple sources that testify to jesus' existence.

  but more recently i have been reading the christ myth position of richard carrier and his responses to ehrman.

  Who Discovered America? Silly title!

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. social
  2. current

  surely the answer is that the americas were discovered by the first humans to get there - almost certainly east asians.

  but the popular answer is almost always columbus.. this view has been under challenge, by some popular writers who argue that other groups made it before columbus.

  a strong arguement can surely be made for northern (viking?

  i know there's been topics previously but how in the world do athiests do the program when they don't use as their support the higher power heard they can use the group, the ocean, etc., but seriously!

  my friend told me they recommend god as the higher power for the program to work in some literature.

  form a religion that promises people everlasting life if they do what you tell them.

  self appoint yourself as god's spokesman.

  convince your members that they need to contribute money and years of time to build a high class lake front resort for "god's work".
