please take pity on me someone and help.. i was going to say that i suffer from aspergers syndrome but actually, i've come to rather enjoy it.. no, seriously, i really do have aspergers which is why my posts may seem a little odd to some of you.

ok, they may seem bloody odd to most of you.. my world exists in a binary frame.

things are or they are not.. i know that in the "real world" things might be or might not be as well as are and are not.

That there was a dude named Jesus who had a following in the First Century, there is no doubt. It's nearly unanimous, even amongst critical scholars. (See this excellent article on the subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus )

However, there exists no proof other than anecdotes that Jesus was anything but a charismatic teacher.

---------

Now, on to the subject of God.

The lack of evidence of his existence is not proof that there is no God. However, it is also not proof that there is one either.

So, in a case like that, how do you reconcile this issue with a black and white view of things?

Good question and interesting perspective.

As someone with Asperger's, how do you feel about just not knowing the answer?

I have found that I'm okay with unanswered questions. It would be unrealistic for me to expect for all of my existential questions to be answered in my lifetime when much smarter individuals came and went over the centuries and they still had questions.

Are we not thankful to Odin for this food at the proper time? Praised may he be! I can't wait for Odin to destroy all the witnesses and then carry us off to Valhalla!

I could be wrong, and I'm by no means an expert (yet) on evolution. However, I believe that there is no such thing as "new genetic material."

From what I understand, Genes are like switches. They're either turned on or turned off.

Take this with a grain of salt. My understanding could be incorrect as I'm not an expert on the subject.

But I am working on it. Starting my Biology degree this summer!

Interesting video debunks Watchtower's "Things are getting worse" speak

by Zoos in

can't say too much without spoiling the ending.

but this entire video is very interesting as it highlights wwii and puts the death toll in visual perspective.. https://vimeo.com/128373915.

Goes to show that WWII was an anomaly. WWI wasn't nearly as deadly as the other wars of the 19th century and before.

Oh Millie! No, I wasn't feeling bad about your comment.

i just wanted to clarify for the record that my motives were to engage in a frank discussion without passing judgement on the OP.

My comment above was based on the OP conclusion. Though I don't believe in God, the comment made came from my heart assuming the conclusion in the OP was true.

Preach to the choir all you want. But if you truly want to strengthen your faith, you would welcome questions and criticism. If your faith cannot stand up to criticism or questioning, what good is it to begin with?

By “evolution,” we mean “macroevolution”—apes turning into humans, for example.

by FadingTruth in

august 2015 awake .

quote in title taken from article footnote.. anyone have information on who gene hwang and yan-der hsuuw in the article are?.

why do they repeatedly state that apes turned to humans when that's not what evolutionists teach at all?.

SimonSays - "Whereas the assertion of Christian brothers only applies to people that have not become complacent in their beliefs which reflects worlds apart from true understanding by which I associate with."
Can someone translate this into English?

Sure! Here you go:
SimonSays: "Although I defend the JW organization every chance I get, I still come on to websites forbidden by the Governing Body and thus am as disloyal to the organization as the next apostate. Cheers!"

Ugh...I've been feeding a troll. If that's not the bio of a troll, I don't know what is.
