over the weekend i was around a group of jw's.
i have not been in such a setting for along time so it was sort of surreal.. so this one older jw woman started to talk about her neighbors and their little girls and how much she liked them.
she said they were a nice family, etc, that they watch each other homes when they go away on vacation, etc.
i do know a handful of skinheads and nazis i grew up with, who are nice too and would have a good time with me now and again, but they'd indeed send me to a concentration camp if they'd gain back power. they'd call it "where wood is chopped, splinters must fall".
still, that persecution complex is surreal.
contradiction without the use of an outside medium (such as archaeology, fossil study).
i just stumbled on this after reading the thread about adam and the sexual subliminal message.
i was thinking about adam and eve and chronology, and a contradiction popped up in my head...so i picked up the bible and there it is.. gen 1:27 - god creates adam and eve, tells them to be fruitful.. gen 2:18 - now adam is alone?
the popol vuh creation story is quite similar, but it doesn't contradict itself.
what i like about the popol vuh is that the snake creates everything.
(numbers 5:23-28) 23 and the priest must write these cursings in the book and must wipe them out into the bitter water.
24 and he must make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and the water that brings a curse must enter into her as something bitter.
25 and the priest must take the grain offering of jealousy from the womans hand and wave the grain offering to and fro before jehovah, and he must bring it near the altar.
i told this one to my little sister once, when she still believed all that crap and studied the "what does the book 'what does the bible really teach' really teach" book with my mother. i told her the bible says this. she didn't believe me.

that's right. and they contradict each other.

god also created plants before he created the sun. he also created day and night before the sun.
in chapter one he first creates plants, then animals, then humans. in chapter two he creates first humans, then plants, then animals.
i don't believe in the bible either, but i'm just curious as to why others don't.
ridiculous misogyny and mass murder by a petty little god are two reasons for me.

why would i buy more into hebrew mythology than into greek, norse or egyptian mythology? greek and norse mythology is a lot more interesting anyway...

excuse me for being uneducated on the bible, especially the genesis.
apparently cain had a wife....where did she come from?
were the children involved in incest or were there other people outside the garden of eden?
I hope that is special in a good way, LOL !
you got the mind of an atheist, but you still believe. which is strange, but that's all good in my book.

the problem with this kind of questions is, that they have been asked before. they have not been answered in a satisfying way, but they have been asked. long ago. so believers* have heard it before. so they* don't care. because they* heard it before.
* make that "many believers". for the sake of psac. who is special.
which generation are you?
and do you overlap with any or all of them?.
generation y has become the popular nickname for current teens and young adults.. .
late generation X, so could overlap a little with generation Y2K
as to the "greatest generation", are the people who fought and lost WW2 part of that too? or is that the "worst generation"?
