  Belief is Absurd

  by IronGland in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am beginning to wonder if there is some kind of physical brain wiring that makes some people more likely to accept religion, even when believing in a certain supernatural paradigm presents numerous absurdities.

  christians seem to be able to convince themselves of the following: .

  ) the god described in the bible is real, yet the god(s) of other religions are not (a variation: other religions are satanic deceptions).

  So sorry to hear that the KGB (Kingdom Getcha Back) squad has found you.

  Keep a low profile and they will probably go after, 'new and gulible' rather than spend time on ' been in and seen through the b/s '

  4 Minimus

  it is pretty pathetic for some people that claim they don't like the content/style/quantity of your threads and then to constantly dog you in them.

  i think it takes a decent measure of talent and thought to consistently post interesting questions that generate good responses and from the number of replies/reads you get per thread, i would say others think similarly.. even your critics cannot seem to resist opening and reading what you write.

  personally, i think they are jealous and frustrated that simple questions generate more interest here than their long well-researched essays.

  It seems that Minimus is one of the few people on the board to realise that the board is also for,

  ' ALMOST ' Ex - JW '

  Simple questions, with thought provoking answers are, IMHO, the way to gently start someone on the path of discovery.

  Anyone ever notice that teachers with doctorates dont teach at kindergarten ?

  I have the greatest respect for the ones who do long intense posts packed with information, but try and get a dub to accept all that and you will just be trying to force a quart into a pint pot.

  Break the waverers in gently, then they will be able to get into the deep stuff as they move further out. Minimus' thought provoking , simple posts make good first reading.

  A personal attack is their natural reaction to someone who has simply disagreed with them, a sort of either friend or enemy mentality.

  A bit like Jehovahs Witnesses you mean ?

  Kelpie.

  I agree.

  One thing I am gratefull for, is that I never really ' grew up ', so even now I still see certain things in a childlike manner. It gives me endless fun !

  I get a lot of ' funny looks ' though. Ever see a 49 year old man jumping up and down in a puddle ?
