You are simulation and physics can prove it

a little about george smoot.

It's an interesting idea.

But it I think it's just another human mammal who's unable to accept death. (Unless he isn't suggesting something happens when you die and leave the simulation). I'll watch this later for sure.

A coordinated effort to bring up Watchtower pedophelia to the public's attention.

by Village Idiot in

a statement that phizzy made on jonathan drake's thread on flyers gave me the following ideas.. we should make a flyer on the issue of the watchtower pedophilia issue written with the object of alerting the public about the jw door to door activity.

phizzy suggested the title, "the paedophile at your door".. on that flyer should be the contact information of our most informed member on the subject who's willing to talk to the media.

barbara anderson perhaps?.

I know I'm late responding to this, but, if I've read correctly over the last few months, Watchtower has the highest incident rate currently known of a religious organization.

The scope of abuse in the Jehovah's Witnesses is a matter of considerable debate. The church has recently been sued by eight plaintiffs in four lawsuits alleging abuse, one filed in July in Minnesota. Mr. Bowen says that his victims support group, "silentlambs," has collected reports from more than 5,000 Witnesses contending that the church mishandled child sexual abuse.

If these numbers are accuate then that means the amount of child abuse is far greater proportionally to the church. They have far more reports/claims than the church (which has less than 3,000 cases) but with far fewer numbers (more than 100times fewer witnessss than Catholics). Granted, the article does not say these 5,000 claim to be victims. But I also remember reading there were an incredible amount of claims made in Australia.

frankly tho, looking at the kids as statistics makes me feel kinda bad. Regardless of the prevalence it's happening and they aren't admitting it; even going so far as calling the victims liars. At least the church finally owned their wrongs.

God evolved from chimpanzee diety

by freemindfade in

researchers say todays lord almighty shares many traits in common with the chimp deity, including color vision and omniscience.. .

berkeley, cachallenging long-held views on the origins of divinity, biologists at the university of california, berkeley, presented findings thursday that confirm god, the almighty creator of the universe, evolved from an ancient chimpanzee deity.. the recently discovered sacred ancestor, a divine chimp species scientists have named pan sanctorum, reportedly gave rise over millions of years to the lord our god, maker of heaven and earth.. although perhaps not obvious at first glance, there are actually overwhelming similarities between the supreme being of today and this early primate deity who preceded him, said dr. richard kamen, a leading biologist who also heads berkeleys paleotheology department.

the holy chimp moved around on all fours, but its descendants eventually began walking upright to expend less energy while foraging across the infinite reaches of the universe.

Jonathan Drake

According to experts, divine life began as a single-celled all-powerful organism roughly 3.6 billion years ago, eventually evolving into a multicelled, sponge-like deity that bobbed and floated across the chaos of the early universe.

LOL it's the holy spirit! Floating above the waters! ZOMG

What is BELIEF ?

by EdenOne in

stemming from the 'absentheism' thread, an old question came to my mind.

what exactly is "belief"?.

is it the same to ask: "do you believe in god?

Jonathan Drake

I'm also playing devils advocate I guess. I want to believe in spanx but you can't produce the book!

The only "evidence" about Spanx The Almighty is in his Holy Book;

You know. This may not be everyone's reason for responding to Eden, but for me it was about trying to reason with him/her. That clearly isn't possible.

we could try just ignoring these posts. One day whatever God or gods they believe in will allow something heinous enough to happen that wakes them up.

Why not throw into the possibilities henotheism also? And still, why do I have to define?

Because by their very nature only one or the other can be true. Both polytheism and monotheism can't be true at the same time.
