  If theres no God why the earth, the brain the universe? (Atheist and Agnostics)

  by cyberjesus in

  (this question is directed to all the atheist and agnostics in the forum only).

  i like most of the people here believed in a god who created us and the earth.

  it was easy to explain the reason on many things like the degrees of inclination of the earth, the existance of water in our planet, the existance of an atmosphere, they joy in all the senses, the clear superiority of the human beens versus all other animals, the posesion of a brain who attempts to explain itself.

  For me, design or purpose is a figment of man's imagination.

  This is the same imagination that allows us to see faces is clouds and paintings and toast.

  We are all going to ge suprised when the aliens that seeded us here return to harvest us.

  Just saying, there are many more than two possabilites.

  Holy crap this is scary: I remember the sister telling me that she had to sign a waiver stating that if during one of their sessions she mention breaking a bible principle she was aware that he would call the Elders in her Hall.

  How could you be complety honest with someone like this? It would be like talking to the cops where anything you say can and WILL be help against you, and I guarantee it will.

  I remember a young girl that DA and my mother blamed it on a "worldly" therapist. Knowing what I know of her family it had to be the best decision of her life.
  
  Yet, my mother refused to ever take our family to one, even though to this day I belive my sister needs to see someone. We had fmaily problems growing up, but now days I think the BS she gets at 4 meetings ever week and the threat of the big A, she really needs someone with an outside view.
  Have you ever experienced a JW therpist? What would they say, it would seem that most people with any common sense would tell you tell you to leave the org if they thought that was your problem, and for many of us I think it was the problem. but if they were to be a faithful JW (and get return business) then they couldn't suggest such a thing.

  Could anyone suggest a way I could convince my sister to see a therapist now that she is an adult, active JW , but still an adult?

  This sure sounds like a setup for "new light" or would that actually be back to old-new light? Seems to me Russell used to say something along these lines.

  Mary,

  While I would like to see #1 or #2, i just can't see it happening, although imagine how many would wake up if they did.

  a thought has occured to me that could any book at all be used in the same way as the bible?

  could people read prohceys into it etc?.

  i remember the wilkie collins book " the moonstone" theres a character in that story who belives that reading robinson crusoe can predict the future, thus he reads it every day and claims on numerous occasions that the book was correct in its predictions!.
