This reminds me of one of my first semesters at college. I had an ethics class that covered some of these topics...I'll have to dig out my notes and refresh my memory. I'll watch the vid when I have a bit more time.

The Shelly Kagan vs. William Lane Craig debate on morality
by bohm inthis the most interesting wlc debate i have seen, it is confined to the subject: "can morality exist without god" and wlc seemed quite off balance at several times.
wlc went after kagan with his usual set of objections, paraphrasing from memory:.
without god there can be no objective standard of moralitywithout god there is no accountability and the universe eventually burn out, hence why does it matter we behave morally?what is the moral thing to do and what is the beneficial thing to do for the individual is often at odds, in the absence of god, why choose the moral thing?and so on.

I just consider it an indiosyncrisy. I certainly don't take offense. Let people be who they want to be. If you don't like their posts, don't read 'em - just skip over it. No one is holding a gun to your head checking that you don't skip anyone's post...I'm sure there are probably those that skip my posts too, and that's okay by me...it's their perogative.

haha...I know what you mean. My dad, a pedophile and now a crossdresser, signs his text messages with "As a child of God, you are blessed." The irony gets me every time!
Once, one of my best friends changed his VM greeting to end with "...and have a blessed day." He was just doing it as a joke - he's every bit as much an atheist as I am. It was hillarious to all of us who really know him.

pay back Caesar's things to Caesar
by man in black inyears ago when we were still witnesses, my wife was friends with a lady who wore the religion on her sleeve.. in fact, she divoriced her husband because he would not become a witness, it was a several year-long process but she finally succeeded in getting rid of him.. when she got her divorce, she decided to get certified as a nursing assistant, and she used us as a reference regarding her loan for school.. fast forward several years,,,,,, she gets remarried to an elder out in las vegas and continue to lives her ultra self rightous lifestyle as a jw.. but at least two times a year, the bank-loan officer calls us asking if we know where this "rightous" christian lady can be contacted.. she never paid one penny back for her education.
in fact, there is some kind of a warrant out for her, if she returns to illinois, she can be arrested.. so on one side, she is living out the jw fantasy in las vegas, but she can be thrown in prison for not paying her loan back if she comes back to her home state.. and she just loves to tell anyone what terrible people my wife and i are for walking away from the "truth".
send her a smartly worded reminder on facebook, or just leave it all alone ?.

Slim - that would not surprise me one bit. It's the same correlation between those below the poverty line and their likleyhood of ending up in jail. I guess that they could start terming them "at risk" JWs.
