  Why is it so easy to summon the Demons?

  by LyinEyes in

  i was thinking about this the other day, and really things just don't make sense to me since leaving the borg.

  being jw's we are told to fear the demons, they are there just to get us away from god.

  don't buy from yard sales, don't watch demonized movies, don't look at porn because demons love that.

  Does praying "work"?

  by SpannerintheWorks in

  1. jw

  has anybody got any hard evidence that asking for something, through prayer, actually gives them what they were asking for?.

  jesus promised to give anything to them that asked.

  have you asked for something (in prayer), but it hasn't been given?.

  Donkey's never-ending atheism thread

  by donkey in

  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.

  To imagine that God wants prayers and hymns of praise is to make him out to a sort of oriental potentate; while praying for favours is an attempt to get him to change his allegedly all-wise mind. -- Barbara Smoker

  Men of generous culture or of great learning, and women of eminent piety and virtue, from the humble cottage to the throne, have been led out for matters of conscience and butchered before a mad rabble lusting after God. The limbs of men and women have been torn from their bodies, their eyes gouged out, their flesh mangled and slowly roasted, their children barbarously tortured before their eyes, because of religious opinion. -- Joel Moody

  the thoughts in this post are generated from work done by by carl sagan.

  although i am not quoting him the core ideas and logic were his and i am recalling them from memory.. let's start with murder.

  we cannot be convicted for murdering a chimpanzee even though the chimpanzee has a dna matching 99.6% of ours.

  I would add that since we are aware and conscious as to there being a human being in their earlier developing stages that any interference with the natural order could be and should be constituted as murder

  The chimpanzee is conscious and aware too.

  The only difference between a human and a chimp 0.4% genetics and the ability to think as humans do. The fetus cannot think.

  Ok Czar so you get the modified version:

  Why would an omnipotent God sacrifice his own son to himself to save us from himself?

  For the record - at the time of writing this I lean towards being anti-abortion because thats how I FEEL.

  Reading Sagan's essay earlier today made me think so now I am trying but it is really tough when one is a dumb donkey!!

  Czar,

  Granted the title of the thread is very parochial.

  Nevertheless, why does no one ever respond to what I wrote about about God being omnipotent, sacrificing himself to himself to save us from himself?

  Does the silence mean it is a stupid question or that you don't have an answer?

  edited because Donkies can't spell very well
