  wih the permission of simon, i would like to start a thread to act as a collection of thought, quotes and miscellany on atheism and agnosticism.

  there are so many other threads on this subject but no one place which one can go to on here.

  i have much to share - enjoy and contribute with me please.give me the storm and stress of thought and action rather than the dead calm of ignorance and faith.

  "If everything must have a cause then God must have a cause. If there can be anything without a cause, it may just as well be the world as God, so that there cannot be any validity in that argument." - Betrand Russell

  Wanna know something strange?

  Take a look at the ardent believers. They are willing to die for BELIEFS. I know that for a fact because thats how I used to be when I believed.

  Now why would someone be willing to die for a belief? A belief is called a belief because it is not a fact. What is it about beliefs that is so strong? Why do people who follow belief regard it as being more valuable than fact? Does this coincide with sanity?

  If God exists, as you say he does, then did you know he is an atheist?

  It's not hard to figure out why I say that...

  Were You Ever Robbed At the Kingdom Hall?

  by Funchback in

  okay, i don't mean by "donating" your hard earned money in the contribution boxes.

  or, by having your purse or pocketbook taken.

  or, by armed, masked men storming into the hall demanding everyone's money and jewelry.

  Why People Believe Weird Things....

  by Focus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as many have observed, over the years jw-related boards and ngs have suffered from the attacks of some people with apparently extremist views that, while being baffling, distasteful, and on occasion even hateful to the majority, are based on sheer kookery, idiocy, ignorance or lack of clear thought.

  there is more "proof" that the earth is flat than there is for most such nonsense; however, flat-earth nonsense does not, as far as i know, harm people (unless such people are attempting transglobal navigation, when they will eventually encounter a major flaw in flat-earthist dogma), while racial/religious/sexual/class-based bigotry or hatred does, and is very upsetting to most sensitive persons (whether or not they belong to the grouping being attacked).

  but censorship is not the answer, as to do silence them by force of law or other authority adds a certain appeal to their shoddy kookery, especially where the inexperienced are concerned.

  Focus,

  I was about to compliment you on a brilliant thread when I read this embedded in the middle:

  And I view asses with weird views they can neither properly explain (without borrowing entirely from the works of other asses) let alone defend as being fair game for a hungry puss

  That comment is completely ASSi9!!! Take it from this ass...

  But as usual your research is astounding. Thanks

  A man didnt understand how televisions work, and was convinced that there must be lots of little men inside the box. manipulating images at high speed. An engineer explained to him about high frequency modulations of the electromagnetic spectrum, about transmitters and receivers, about amplifiers and cathode ray tubes, about scan lines moving across and down a phosphorescent screen. The man listened to the engineer with careful attention, nodding his head at every step of the argument. At the end he pronounced himself satisfied. He really did now understand how televisions work. "But I expect there are just a few little men in there, arent there?" -- Douglas Adams

  Lisa, if the Bible has taught us nothing else -- and it hasn't -- it's that girls should stick to girl's sports, such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing and such and such.
