god of the gaps arguments are simply not convincing, god is no more likely to be the correct gap filler than anything else, in any case where god is squeezed into a gap, we could easily just fill it with (for example) a committee of eternally existing physical lifeforms, god is no more plausible than they are as an explanation.
as for the arguments themselves:.
the cosmological argument = god of the gaps: we think (though we are not certain) that the universe had a beginning, it was probably the big bang, the big bang needed a cause.
PP,
So PP do you think that it might be easier for you to say God does not exist rather than deal with your anger towards him? The reason I ask is because you are using quite a bit of wit, energy and talent on something that isn't real? That is if you really do believe he isn't real. Do you get what I am saying, just a thought.

i was talking to my disfellowshipped friend today , her jw die hard mum is best friends with the sister of the child molester that raped my 13 year old , and abused two others (that we know of )one was abused between 11 to 13 years the other was 13 , my friends mum was tallking about "bad associations" to my friend the day before , my friend said "well you hang around with the family of a paodophile , who still support him and you get your car fixed by him " her answer was "that is just buisness " and its unfair to call him a paedophile , he has done things wrong but that word is a bit strong !!!!!!!!
i was livid , what morons that religion has in it , he is a convicted sex offender ,but thats ok because hes not a paedophile !
ignorant stupid cow !
I had a sexual encounter at 14 with a 26 yearold (non-JW). Thank God the laws of changed. If it happened today it would be a crime not to report it to the police, it was on a misdemeanor back then.

PP,
Please sit down on the couch and tell us about your anger towards and Almighty and when it started. What? You are not angry you say? Then why have you spent so much time and energy trying to prove someone doesn't exist that doesn't? God exist and is very real to you Mr. PP, you just think he's a jerk.

P.S. If you are going to debate professional writers stay away from the ad hominem attacks, makes you look sophmoric.
i am so inlove with this woman.... we have been dating for six months and she is finally starting to let me in.
she is the portrait of sweet country feminitiy and i am a masculine little macho but smart and sweet meat head.. she called me the other night having a panic attack.
well she texted b/c she couldn't talk.
Thanks to all of you and no body offending me. I really appreciate all the help.

No the first was about 4 months ago (long story). She was married for 8 years and is striving to be more independent and get over her childhood issues. She is doing a great job and if she freaks out and needs me in the middle of the night every once in a while it's not a problem but an honor for someone you love.

Yes JWoods I know those types too... There is someone for everyone is all I got to say.

jgnat- I'll have to get back to you on that one... I'm sure it'll fly over like a lead ballon. But your right that's one way to make sure she never calls me again for nothing.
Broken- You'll find someone. I might tend to run but like I said this is someone I have been with intimately for six months now. It's a good sign that I am the first person she thinks to call. It's funny how many people here think that is a bad thing. We all need someone and we all got issues ESPECIALLY X-JWs..
my 10 year old grandson is in the hospital with really high blood pressure.
he has a urinary tract blockage which is affecting his kidney function,which resulted in the high blood pressure.
his dad, soonernc7 and his mom are with him now.
Sending Prayers your way... Ft. Worth is my neck of the woods.

Thank you everyone... I've searched the internet and found some good information as well. Yes she has issues but I guarantee no more than this Elder's Son. No one is perfect and she is the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with so the "number" of issues are really a concern. She got out of bad marriage and there was some heavy drug use. She has quit everything even weed and with out me asking. She has been pushing herself to deal with a lot of issues and she is going to be just fine. Just every couple of months she wakes up in a panic I guess. It's understandable when her like has changed so much so quickly.
I think the best thing I can do is get her to think of something else and breathe properly. I just need a plan for next time it happens.

Wildflower you summed up might thoughts exactly. I see so many other males that silently suffer just because they were a wild "mustang" like me. They tried to stay in and make life in the organization work. They really are trying....
