  The Greatest Show On Earth - A Book Summary In Many Parts

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it was a number of years after i left the watchtower that i finally admitted to myself that i had never really investigated evolution.. i thought i was already an expert on the subject despite everything i knew about it coming form a source that was attacking the theory.

  when i began to reserch evolution objectively i was astonished by the breadth an depth of the evidence.

  i have been reading books and articles on the subject for around ten years now and always find it to be fascinating and inspiring.. a couple of years ago i began to write a summary of dawkin's book on the jws forum with the intention of helping any lurking jws who could not dare be seen reading the book for themselves.

  I agree and I'm all for it unless someone else has a different idea. I will read it again and contribute my thoughts to the discussion. No running away with my tail tucked!

  Why are atheists so intent on scorning "believers"?

  by Chariklo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  until recently, i had never encountered this word "believers" used as it is being used on this board, to describe pejoratively a group of people.

  it's not clear to me whether they scorn all who have a faith of some sort.

  do they include buddhists, hindus, followers of the baha'i faith, followers of the cargo cult, native americans along with christians, or is it just christians who are honoured with this epithet?.

  An interesting history of the word atheist is that Christians were called atheists in Rome because they did not observe state mandated religion. Socrates too was accused of atheism. True atheism actually started with the publication of a book by a catholic priest called Thoughts and Feelings of Jean Meslier. It wasn't until the 17th and 18th century that the term atheist actually came to apply to those that actually denied the existence of God.

  Actually this has rarely been done Scotoma. Instead of this being ONLY a "I think this or that", it will have some authority and evidence for and against specific issues. The lack of any structure tends to throw topics off and degrade into pointless argument.

  Snare, I'm excited about this. I look forward to a good debate about these issues. I for one come into this with resolve but also an open mind to discuss and accept evidence and reason where it can be found.

  What about following some rules of debate in our discussion like this:

  1. We clearly define our topic

  2. We present an outline of what area of argument we will pursue

  3. Stick to logic. Saying that the other side is wrong is not enough. SHOW how the other side is wrong. We can do this best by taking the main points of the other side's argument and showing HOW it doesn't make sense. Try and find evidence for what your are saying. For example "This is true/false because of x."

  4. Do not criticise the individual, criticise instead WHAT THEY SAY. Avoid making personal comments about the other contributers.

  5. Edits to posts should not be done unless it is done BEFORE the next poster responds. This will eliminate some confusion in future posts.

  6. Stay on topic. Don't bring up another topic unless the original one has been thoroughly dealt with.

  7. Be prepared to cite specific authority for all assertions, especially when challenged to do so.

  Sound fair? Any additions, changes, or should we throw all the rules away and go balls out?

  Those of us who care about hearing and taking part in intelligent discussion of opposing views need to be unapologetic about trying to prevent it from getting derailed by sophomoric arguments.

  I agree, cofty. I don't think that's arrogant. I for my part will just avoid commenting on those arguments and stick to the topic we are discussing. I think if the bickering and snipe shot comments are largely avoided by us, we'll be able to keep this thread intact. Perhaps we should formulate some sort of rules for the discussion to keep us on track? Nothing that hinders the conversation, but just some guidelines to keep us focused?
