  City! City! City!

  by Simon in

  won the premiership.. won the fa cup.. won the champions league.. that's the treble baby.

  so amazing after we spent 44 years without anything.

  no more "noisy neighbours".. now let's do it again, back-to-back, and achieve new heights - more consecutive premierships than anyone has every done before would be enough..

  I find it interesting that after the cult people still hold on to religion....

  by BeaverEater in

  im not an atheist, makes no mathematical sense, nor does the buy(more) bull(shit) god make any logical sense... maybe a deist on my best day, in the end you cannot get something from nothing, paradox if you ask me... but in reality i just dont care.

  while in, and moving out of the cult, its like a roller coaster, emotionally, yet, for me, over time, i just take it one day at a time, and if appeasing some special deity is required, well i guess i failed.

  lol.

  Iriddle - A tsunami proves beyond all doubt that the god of christian theism does not exist.

  Collapsing towers and psychopathic Romans are not natural disasters.

  What if it isn't just selection bias?

  Then why do Muslims have exactly the same stories as christians?

  You can believe or not believe, but I can't deny the supernatural "coincidences" that follow the things I pray about. - Iriddle

  I was an evangelical, born-again for a decade after the cult. I also noticed these 'coincidences'. Then I became an atheist and nothing changed. It's called selection bias.

  Is Bible chronology true?

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to jw interpretation of bible chronology, the earliest human, adam, came into existence some 6,048 years ago compared to scientific dating of human fossils believed to be much older.

  since jesus validated the creation of adam and eve as historical people and jc’s own lineage is traced all the way back to adam, bible chronology is certified as true and there must be something wrong with scientific dating.

  what proves scientific dating as accurate that humans are much older than what bible chronology says?.

  There is no proof that scientific dating debunks Bible chronology.

  59,700 scientific articles explaining why radiometric dating is accurate.

  164,000 scientific articles explaining how sedimentary rocks are dated

  56,400 scientific articles describing how fossils are dated

  134,000 scientific articles describing different radiometric techniques

  77,500 scientific articles describing how and why radiometric dating can give false results

  Where are your half a million papers showing bible chronology is reliable?

  Bible chronology is certified as true...

  THIS IS begging the question. You have all your work ahead of you to show that 'bible chronology' is anything more than the ravings of Iron Age drug addicts.

  JWs should be challenged on why they don't believe the earth is flat. It seems inconsistent of them

  I agree. The bible presents a flat earth cosmology. Why do they reject it?
