this interview gets ridiculously hilarious as it nears at the end .

XJW4EVR - " he runs like a girl."
How does one actually run like a girl away from a discussion. Do you mean like Florence Griffith-Joyner in the 100m dash or like Julie Andrews in the "Sound of Music"? Or is this rejoinder a reflection of a particular belief/view of the female gender?
i've been thinking how correct the witnesses are regarding an aspect of xmas.
it is totally commercialized and it's big business and materialism.
having said that, i enjoy giving presents and recieving them.
It's always been a great period of time to indulge in food & drink, artifical kindness and more outdoor hockey games!
It was like that before and still remains true for me after leaving the JWs. (minus the outdoor hockey games - unless I go up Grouse Mountain).
tebowing is defined as "to get down on a knee and start praying, even if everyone else around you is doing something completely different.".

here's tim tebow in full tebowing stance:.
Does he 'Tebow' after sex? I mean, he does technically score after the deed.
the first time i heard of christopher hitchens was today when his named was mentioned multiple times in the comment section of a youtube video.
after reading a brief summary of his life, it became clear that this guy was a complete douche-bag.
a very arrogant sarcastic bigoted f**k who looked down on everyone who didn't share his beliefs.
Is this an eyewitness account?
i've been getting really into cooking lately!
i do have most of the same hobbies i had before, (i've always been into art and reading and watching movies and travelling) only now i can do them whenever and don't have to worry about meetings getting in the way or people telling me i spend too much time with "recreation.
".
Started reading tons of books like I did previously in my teen years. Took a myriad of cooking classes including French gourmet cooking. Volunteer work including bike advocacy - a hot topic here in Vancouver.
so say the xian participants in studies described in a recently published article in a professional journal.. abstract.
distrust of atheists generalized even to participants from more liberal, secular populations.
a description of a criminally untrustworthy individual was seen as comparably representative of atheists and rapists but not representative of christians, muslims, jewish people, feminists, or homosexuals.
By the way, if you want a copy of the full study, I have it available.

rebel8 : Exactly what my sentiments were when reading the article. It's easy to say a study is flawed when you don't have the actual studies/data set in front of you. That's why I asked why those who were saying it was flawed to provide some arguments for it.
That link to that other website was...well...far from an academic parsing of the article/study and just a bunch of random noise. The author of that blog also said in an apparent attempt to make a rebuttal - “ That doesn't sound like science. That sounds like a personal anecdote ”. Obviously this author doesn’t know the difference between qualitative and quantitative research methods.

Can someone point out exactly why this study is flawed?
he said he wanted to know how i was doing and what was going on with me.
i knew that it was only a matter of time before he started asking about me not being to the hall in like 3 months and him trying to bring me back into the fold.
and in about less than a minute he started telling me about how everyone at the hall misses me and asks about me.
My father said the same thing to me, "What will I tell your mother when she finds out you're not in the new system?". I answered back, "What makes you think that, if for the moment I accept the premise of a new world, mom would even be there?". He said that to say such a thing was hurtful. I said, 'exactly'.
mickey mouse, our very own treasured poster, not the cartoon character, thinks that religious belief is both rational and intelligent.. do you ?.
TEC: snipped....You brought the point out against believers, and I just wondered if you saw that atheists do the same thing in their arguments....snipped
My main reason for joining in this thread was the statement that the evidence provided by party ‘A’ is not accepted by party ‘B’ because the evidence isn’t 'good' enough. I attempted to explain that it’s not just a matter of arbitrarily saying ‘it’s not good enough’ and therefore I reject your claim. Instead, for many atheists, a systematic approach is utilized to determine the validity of the claim or assertion. Of course, not everyone engages in this manner. I personally believe in the rigor of scrutinizing any claim to the best of my ability so that I’m fully satisfied that I’m not being duped. Name calling is just superfluous in my opinion.
