I'm surprised they didn't slip some GB members into the Role Model Index.

Thanks for posting, el Captaino. Some interesting stuff in there...
4. Why did Dad and Mom split up?
5. How can I deal with my parent's remarriage?Maybe my memory is failing but I don't recall these being dealt with directly before. Obviously a growing problem in Dubland?Under the Worksheet Locator...My Educational Goals 139 Seriously? Who are they kidding? "Should I really try to finish graduating or just drop out now to be a pioneer?" ...or..."Is the alphabet all that important to know?"
Questions parents ask....How much should my children know about my past? Do I tell them I was once a relentless self-improving boulangerie owner in Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery?

A few Dawkins quotes to think about.
by AK - Jeff in"faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence.
faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.".
"my last vestige of "hands off religion" respect disappeared in the smoke and choking dust of september 11th 2001, followed by the "national day of prayer," when prelates and pastors did their tremulous martin luther king impersonations and urged people of mutually incompatible faiths to hold hands, united in homage to the very force that caused the problem in the first place.".

God: the central question
by ixthis inof all the issues affecting every person's picture of reality, nothing is more fundamental than questions about god.. is there one god, creator and sovereign of all?could there be more than one god?
or no god at all?if there is a god (or gods), then what is that god (or gods) like?nothing determines your worldview-and the course of your life-more than how you answer those questions.
yet some atheists like to make light of the god question.

IMO there is no greater stance of arrogance than saying you know the answers to the universe. Many do just that and even manage to be magnanimous while doing so.
Soooooo...on a lighter note: the Trinity is bullshit, right? -

You think it's all chance
That's not what I think. Sounds like a WT comment. Fact is, I don't know...and I think that is the bravest and most honest answer to the why's and how we are here.
Further, I don't trust anyone who adamantly says that they unequivocally know. -

The problem with defining god is that you can make it whatever you want. So why bother at all? Why call it god?
I believe in love...but I just call it love. I love grilled cheese sandwiches....so according to all the other definitions of god I can legitimately argue that grilled cheese sandwiches are God. -

So..... are you apostates enjoying your mansions and private jets?
by Mr. Falcon ina super-zealous elder once told me in a very grave tone, "you know, mr. falcon, when someone becomes an apostate and leaves god's organization, they usually do very well physically and materially.
" hence the reason he claims that they feel "vindicated".
now i do also remember hearing such statements in the past from other witnesses.

To sit around speculating whether there is a god or not, and whether this IS the way things should be, or ought to be, is a complete waste of time.
Look around the world...people are suffering. We can see that and we know that. So we need to take action to save ourselves. IF Jesus pulls up on his magic carpet and helps out at the 11th hour...then great. But no one should be sitting around waiting for it while people suffer.
