  Welcome! So good to have you actively posting. :) I look forward to hearing more from you over the coming months. Don't be afraid to post and ask questions. You will get differing opinions, but I found that very helpful as I examined all I thought I knew.

  Congratulations on the rest of your life. I was lucky to get out in my late thirties. Others have had it much worse than me, yourself included. But, one thing I find helpful is to try to do something each day that I enjoy. Even if I worked long hours and had a crappy day, I try to do something each day that makes the day feel valuable. I might read on here, or read some in a book, or watch a TV show I enjoy, or go for a longer walk, or help a homeless person. It just helps me to do something that makes the day a positive. Because, now I look at my days as finite and passing quickly. So I want each day to have some positive aspect. Works for me lol.

  Best of luck!

  Tons of info out there. I read other info on her denying painmeds as people died in agony because their suffering was important to god or some such nonsense.

  The amazing one is the city in south america that has the giant interlocking "H's" and "I's" that build a wall. They weigh tons and are stacked up great. The tools needed to make them seem pretty advanced. It doesn't mean alien. But, I'd love to know how they did it. Haven't watched the debunking video yet. I hope it explains some of the stuff or shows how they mislead with the info they present.

  A Challenge to Apoligists - Why Would a Heavenly Father Kill a Newborn?

  by berrygerry in

  as a father, made in god's love, that has troubled me for a very long time, is that god, as described by the wts, is soon, going to slaughter every, roughly, 7.9 billion people on the planet, because they have figured out a way to come know him as a father according to the wts.. .

  as a father, dear apologist, why would you kill/murder a one-day old baby?.

  In the bible, the people who are said to have seen god at work question him and argue with him and demand miracles as proof.

  But, for some reason today people should believe without the proof and made to be horrible and worthy of death for doubting. I want to see a stick turn into a snake, or have a wool pelt filled with dew though my grass is dry. I want to be swallowed by a giant fish and safely threw up. I want to see a burning bush that doesn't burn up. I want to see a giant pillar of smoke follow me all day long and fire at night. I want to stop shopping at the store and gather manna for a few weeks. I want to walk through the gulf of mexico on dry sand and see the walls of water beside me. I want to put my hand in my coat pocket and pull it out with advanced leprosy and then put it back and be cured. I want to hear gods voice like thunder. I want to see someone raised from the dead. I want to see people cured of paralysis or regrown limbs (withered hand).

  Hundreds if not thousands of miracles were said to be done to prove who god was.

  Today when I worry that 8 guys in NY are making the right choice on a blood transfusion, I have no faith, I am apostate, I doubt god, and I deserve death. Seems very fair.

  Early modern humans had been drawing extinct animals in caves for hundreds of thousands of years. How any religious person thinks that these caves would still have the artwork after a devastating and world destroying flood is beyond me. If someone drew an extinct animal then they must interact with it all the time. Meaning it wasn't extinct when they drew it. Meaning they lived longer than 6k years ago.

  On the ancient aliens... I don't know. There are some things early peoples did that did amaze me and seem impossible even by todays standards and technologies. Very interesting puzzle to figure out. I do believe there is most likely life other than earth out there. With infinite time and the size of space or possibility of infinite time and universes I can't believe there ISN'T life out there. But, coming to earth to build stuff here... ehhhhhh....

  5 on your scale

  6 on the added one with hate it

  If I received a personal message or visit from a god who existed I still wouldn't go back. I would acknowledge he exists since he proved it, but I would still choose not to go back. I as a human who knows right from wrong, do not want any part of a religion that thinks millions of innocent children will die a bad death at Armageddon. If my kind, good, lovely and good neighbors were worthy of death then I would join them. I'd be condemned and killed in VERY GREAT company.
