  besides it being pseudoscience, what interests me about this is that even though it's something to do with the "qi" energy flowing in our bodies, that wasn't a problem for some members of my family or a special pioneer i knew.. new study exposes acupuncture as pseudoscience.

  Questions on Evolution and the Existence of God and...

  i know this is one huge rant, but i want to put my own questions and doubts in writing.. i am a fading jw who has become agnostic... i still believe in "god" and "jesus," but i simply cannot explain to people why i believe in them.

  i just do.. about the existence of god: it is an infinite regress.

  "all things were created by someone"... well... who created god?

  All I know is that the bible doesn't teach that I'll be judged for something they did.

  My question still stands, what happened in the bloody Garden of Eden?

  "hi im suchandsuch and im one of jehovahs witnesses".

  the word god is defined a certain way and asking the person to list those properties can proove nothing.

  Exactly bohm, a very dishonest way on the part of the Watchtower to programme publishers to avoid having an actual conversation with the householder and just talking about their god.

  My second way of answering the question on 'what attributes would god have', would probably be winding them up.

  "He'd have long blonde hair, the power to fly, a hammer, and the power to cause thunders."

  or

  "He'd have a penchant for mischief."
