i truly don't understand the mindset of a troll.
i know it's been explained, but i still don't get it.
it is hard to distinguish between a troll and a jw apologist at times because the reactions are very similar.
Are we talking about the psychology of actual Internet trolls, or the specific niche breed of Watchtower apologist trolls on this board?
The former has been studied to some degree, and you can find articles about the topic. Here's one.
The latter would get ripped apart on 4chan.
to all on this site who from their hearts participate, thank you.
you encourage thought, offer support and share laughs, thank you.
you may never know what point has touched a heart or opened a mind.
That's the beauty of open discourse.
meant to hopefully get your mind off the craziness which we sadly refer to as the news these days,.
we'll call this one .
fun for seculars.
good luck with that one, and by the way no there isn't. You are treading on dogmatism with that viewpoint.
I find it hilarious that I would have to prove there is no god to an atheist.
But hey, if your contention is that as long as the goal posts can be moved, then one might correctly say there COULD be a god, that is what I was referring to. That's human imagination. And those goal posts will continue to be moved as our knowledge continues to expand.
I fail to see how it is incumbent upon me to disprove a figment of another's imagination. Prove to me that the Invisible Pink Unicorn doesn't exist and I'll use your method.
i dont know about you, but for some reason if i were to go around worshiping some deity i should have done better and looked outside the bible.
i mean, there's some pretty cool goddesses out there in other religions.
here's my top 3:.
I think it's interesting that Mitochondrial Eve is said to predate Y-Chromosomal Adam, and goddesses predate gods. Patriarchy and misogyny seems to come in later.
Very very old cultures, such as the Navajo, are much more matriarchal.

so, you left because of a bad example(s).. why all the whining?
nothing better to do with your time?.
you at least know far more about the bible than any church-goer?.
Check the newbies the-Question will be one of them. He's getting so much attention...... he won't be able not to come back.
Attention.
Ya know, many of us left the organization without any intent of starting our own cult from the other disillusioned followers, though that is the accusation hurled at us by the GB and some rank and file. I was certainly accused of that by my faithful brother, even after I admitted to him that I'm atheist and have no belief in spiritualism.
The moment he came on here and criticized the GB, I got the impression that that's what he's after. Because if the GB is failing, who do you suppose is to take their place? People like him?
Fuck that.

*sigh*
70 years is symbolic in Hebrew belief, and is usually to be interpreted as 72 years (which is a multiple of 12 and half of 144... Holy writ is loaded with astrology and numerology.)

That's nice.
think of your favorite tv shows.
what do they all have in common?
the answer is they revolve around some type of problem or conflict.
There will always be conflict. A concept of perfection without conflict is wishful thinking, and it's also poisonous to art.

It puts you in the positive strong atheist claim that there is definitely no god(s), and the burden now lies on you to prove that case.
And plenty of information is available to make that case. What deism remains is left to the human imagination in response to the evidence that there is no god.
