Do People Have Spirits? What Do the Early Texts Say?
by Cold Steel infor years adventist sects, including the jws, have believed that the dead sleep at death and remain non-existent until the resurrection.
its strongest argument seems to be text in the non-escchatological book of ecclesiastes in the old testament.
although a part of the canon of scripture, the book is not written by a prophet, nor is there any prophecy or recognizable doctrine contained therein.

What Should the Minimum Wage Be (USA)?
by Village Idiot induring the gop debates donald trump said that american’s “wages [are] too high” and later said “that having a low minimum wage is not a bad thing for this country” (7:25)..
do you agree and if so why?.
my two cents on this issue; do the math.

Reminds me of the words from a famous poet.
"So this life is sacrificed, to a strangers bottom line"

What are the biggest holes in the ransom sacrifice?
by Half banana inhow honest are the proponents of jesus as the ransom sacrifice?.
curious to see what type of response there is on a topic like this or does their study only seek to confirm their preconceptions and ignore uncomfortable facts?.

In Australia it is very common to see JWs drinking well over healthy levels. I can recall plenty of brothers and probably half a dozen or so elders who would drink the equivalent of 6 heavy beers or a bottle of wine daily, at minimum.

Satanic Temple’s Seven Tenets - Makes 10 Commandments Sound Facile
by cofty inthe so-called 10 commandments are a post-biblical construct.... there is an elohist list at exodus 20 and a yahwist one at exodus 34 that contains such gems as "you shall not cook a kid in its mother’s milk.".
any intelligent adult could create a more useful list of ethical precepts before the end of a coffee break.. it is interesting to compare the satanic temple's seven tenets.
i think you might agree that it makes yahweh's rules look like they were written by a bronze age power-hungry, misogynistic priest.

I'm not sure you really addressed Coftys concerns on the slavery issue, Cold Steel.
It would have been within Gods laws to torture a slave to death. So long as the death doesn't immediately follow the beatings. Agonisng prolonged deaths of beaten and tortured slaves are sanctioned by your almighty God.
All good?

Theism is a Fact #1
by cofty innope sorry i got nothing.. wouldn't it be really interesting though if somewhere there was a theist who could challenge unbelievers with facts and evidence?.

Our inevitable death leads us to theism. If we didn't have to die, very few would give a shit about God.

He organised a mass genocide. It ended with two sisters having their mother murdered, before they drugged their father and had incestual relations with him.
There is even more mayhem to this story.... if the father got his way, his daughters would have been screwed much earlier, without wine though this time. You see, he offered his daughters to an angry mob, the very mob God was set to wipe out in the genocide. It goes deep......
Evidently, this lesson is one of the deep things of Jehovah.

Evolution is a Fact #5 - Vitamin C
by cofty inpart 1 - protein functional redundancypart 2 - dna functional redundancypart 3 - ervspart 4 - smelly genes.
in part 4 we saw that roughly half of the 800 genes in the human genome that code for olfactory receptors are broken remnants of our evolutionary history.
they were vital to our distant ancestors but in humans, as in our primate cousins they have been allowed to fall into disuse as our eyes became more important to our survival than our nose.

It's a credit to Cofty how he never throws insults towards peolple who carry on like Clambake.
I would have suggested to that ignorant piece of shit that he go fuck himself on the Part 1 thread.

There are some real beauties posted here!
by stillin inthis one is worth repeating.
it was buried in a thread and u've been thinking about it all day.. a quote from mark twain, one of my all-time heroes.. "it's easier to fool a man than it is to convince him that he has been fooled.".
isn't that the truth....
