  How was your day/ week thread?

  by The Rebel in

  this thread is for when you have to say something to get it out of the system, whether it is happy or sad.

  my reason for stating the thread is that on occasion some threads do tend to get a little heated here, and maybe this thread will enable us to reflect on the important fact, we are real people and not just dots on a computer screen.. i would love to start the thread with a bang, but nothing of particular interest has happened, only i do hope the weather improves as the climate i live in has been sadly chilly for the time of year, (if you get the deeper meaning).

  i am curious if my observations are correct.

  i noticed alot of exjws end up majoring in the social sciences.

  i am also interested in what educational choices people have made either while fading or while completely out.

  If I am honest, since leaving I have tried to gain an education in the university of life. I wouldn't say I have majored in it, in fact I have failed on quite a few assignments, but I am enjoying the education.

  Sorry folks back again with my conclusion on the thread.

  I do not believe in a God, and I feel no one has managed to make a convincing argument that he exists to me. I am not saying that God, CAN not exist, neither am I opposed to the idea of the supernatural, although I am pretty sure the world was not created by an omni-potent and omni-benevolent entity and I disagree with the notion that there has to be a God because something cannot become out of nothing or similar arguments.

  OK bottom line, I believe no one can prove Gods existence at THIS MOMENT in time ( except himself theoretically) and even if there is an omnipotent monothestic creator, diety of some kind, there is no reason to believe one person over another when it comes to the nature of that said entity.

  Thats my personal position based on the thread, and thanks for the insightful comments.

  The Rebel :- Agreed, but they do give some people an opportunity to make a fool of themselves. :-)

  Qcmbr (Q)" is it possible to make some stand out points from the History of Cathalisiam? I won't be reading it I am afraid even if it is a worthy endeavour.

  The Rebel (A) Sorry " Qcmbr" I was joking, but if I had Belottis 47 volumes of "History of Cathalisim" ( which I don't because they don't exist) they would remain on my bookshelf unread, as I hope I have better things to do with my time :-)

  Well the O.P was always going to create an explosive thread. Yet it's basically a matter of FAITH & BELIEF, for those who believe in God, no proof/ explanation is necessary. For those that don't believe in God, no proof/explanation is not a satisfactory answer. However maybe the trick is not to take things so seriously and try to get along?

  The Rebel.

  p.s if anyone is really interested in "proof of Gods existence" may I reccomend you read Belottis, 47 volumes of " History of Catholicism" It not cheap but if you are down to your last £547.17pence, buy it , you won't regret it.

  Having my book " How do you measure up as a lover" ridiculed on Amazon, I can fully understand the disappointment of bad reviews. On chapter one of my book " How do you measure up as a lover" I asked this important question.

  When you go out on that so important first date with a girl what do you look at first?

  1. Her Eyes

  2. Her Hair

  3. Her Teeth

  4. Her Husband

  I followed this up with other challenging questions i.e. Chapter 80 which asked, " When you meet a girl on a first date do you give her:

  1.flowers

  2. Chocolates

  3 . One

  Now I thought these thought provoking and helpful questions, would get good reviews,

  Other chapters asked these challenging questions " Do you believe in holding hands before marriage" and " Do you know where deodorant comes from? So I had hoped I would have got me on the best seller list. Sadly to recite one of my Amazon negative reviews " I put it to you that you are a virgin, and nothing more than a disgusting evil-minded creep" Well the review may be true, but if anybody wants a personal signed copy of my book " How do you measure up as a lover?" it's yours absolutely free, because I have 10,000 of them taking space in the garage.

  Thank you for the reply Cofty.

  Cofty : (A) "We could but would it not be easier just to dispense with the word God?

  The Rebel: (A) " We could but doesn't that then avoid answering the question?

  Cofty: ( A) you would have to say a lot more to define " all persuasive wisdom" and " indestructible nature of reality and life"

  "Both these phrases seem to luck substance "

  The Rebel ( A) I would define " all persuasive wisdom" as wisdom that cannot exist without facts. Now to my understanding a fact is something that exists or has happened, so we are no further forward, because if God exists that is a fact, even if it can't be proven.

  Personally I won't deny the existence of God, because this debate has been going on for centuries without proof either way, instead I would rather focus my attention on myself, and to understand how I can make a positive impact on my neighborhood.
