I think God conforms to the level of his people
What an utterly pathetic and pointless deity.

with things going to hell in a hand basket, i’ve taken an interest in the clashes of mindsets.

this of course takes me back to my own evolutionary mindset pre and post jw life of two decades.

if you overlay the core beliefs of memetic tribes as postulated by the authors, i’m curious what the median tribe of jwd would be?

SBF - The god of the NT is also Yahweh of the OT who prescribed kidnap, rape, infanticide and slavery of the worse kind.

I see God as liberator not a vengeful, threatening and slavish God
Is this the god who proscribed infanticide, rape and slavery?

So many demonstrably false assertions in one post.
The concept of objective evidence is an alien concept to many believers. Your mind is in a self-imposed prison GB.

GodBeliever - I have read Russell's writings. How on earth can any rational person with the vantage point of 2020 still find his ramblings interesting never mind significant?

Waton - I think that is an important point that is easily missed. Whatever we might think about any wisdom attributed to Jesus of the gospels he never actually said a single word that could not have been known by anybody living in his time and place.
