Why Do Atheists Struggle So Much Against God Who Supposedly Doesn't Exist?
by Perry inan athist made this casual statememt on another thread:.
this would suggest to me that there are at least some atheists that do have consistant beliefs.. .
as an atheist, how could he possibly trust the reason that suggests this to himself?

Origin of Black Skin - JW.org Noah Movie
by Bloody Hotdogs! ini've never seen this discussed here, so thought i'd bring it up:.
as far as i can figure, jehovah's witnesses no longer teach that black skin is the result of a curse from god.
instead, they seem to teach that canaan was already dark skinned when his father, ham, brought the curse of servitude upon their family.

He was mocking the atheists for bringing this work discrimination issue up. One element of religion that REALLY get's me annoyed, is the expectancy of gettting what you want and living by your own rules because YOU are representing a god on earth. Discrimination is discrimination and I am very pleased to read this.
In the UK there is a charity for JW pensioners, a care home network. They state clearly in their literature that EVERY member of staff is a JW. Someone needs to pursue it. If I had the time i would, not because it will annoy some JW's but because it is fundementally wrong and we are all paying for it !
Anything that seperates two humans further appart is unhelpful to society.

Greek Mythology influence on New Testament
by Magnum ina few days ago, i was in a book store, and i picked up a book providing a brief overview of classical mythology.
as i examined the opening pages, i read about tartaurus (place of punishment) and hades (god of the underworld).. it seems so odd that tartarus and hades would be mentioned in the new testament, and yet they were part of greek mythology which predated the new testament.
why would bible writers have used such terms?

Science is JUST a process to observe the world around us, it provides a mechanism to learn how our universe works. Nothing more.
When humans learn something new, it is thanks to the scientific process. What we do with that data is nothing to do with science and all to do with us.
It is about growing up and taking responsibility. Do you drive a car, do you trash plastics daily? You know you shouldn't.....
We are animals of habit and pattern, we don't like change. I am confident, with science, we have a hope.
People can wait on the 8 guys from Brooklyn if they want, but I would ask them.....have you read the report on them dumping toxic waste in fields that fed into the bethelite water supply? Have you read about their fines in Australia recently for enviromental damage? Have you read the many stories here and elsewhere of how bethel would run the factory at night in NY to cover their illegal printing activity, hiding that they were exceeding their daily limits of 'ruining the earth'.

If you are pondering leaving....
by snare&racket inwiser men have lived and died than those ignorant dictators of brooklyn, for those that are pondering the courage required to cease the so called life as subjects to their whim, consider the words of someone far more inspirational than self appointed men hiding from real life dictating to millions how to live.... .
out of the night that covers me, black as the pit from pole to pole, i thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul.. in the fell clutch of circumstance i have not winced nor cried aloud.
under the bludgeonings of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed.. beyond this place of wrath and tears looms but the horror of the shade, and yet the menace of the years finds and shall find me unafraid.. it matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll, i am the master of my fate, i am the captain of my soul.. .

Atheist, but the sentiment is so powerful. You alone are the captain of your destiny, nobody else to thank or blame......
We get one life, it doesn't last long, as soon as you realise the JW's are no different to all the other snake oil sellers IT IS UP TO YOU so captain your life away....
