Simon - 1 hour my ass.

I took over 2 hours...and I wore out my mouse. But I finally got the naked girl to jump out of the cake.

Christianity the biggest scam ever!!!

by William Penwell in

reading a number of posts here it seems like a fair amount of posters are still into and pushing the christian philosophy.

i would like to start a discussion here that objectively examines the evidence and not base a belief on "blind faith".

after leaving the jdubs, i have read a number of books over the past few years.

donkey

Using your standard, then, there is no conniving "evidence," or "proof" that Jesus did not exist.

That's lame-logic. This approach there is no evidence that God is not a porn star either. Does that make him one?

something i've noticed on this board is that there seem to be many more liberal-left types than conservative-right types.

what do you think of my following theories?

in the 70s, many converts to jw-dom were influenced by the anti-establishment philosophy and anti-viet nam war.

Liberal and conservative are good words that have been applied to bad things to make the bad things pallatable.

But donkey, you're the only one who's mentioned them...

PS, So you are willing to exclude them? ie. democrats aren't liberal?

this is a moderated forum and unfortunately it's occassionally necessary to deactivate accounts of posters who purposefully and/or repeatedly violate the simple & sensible posting guidelines, there to ensure that the forum is a welcoming and friendly place to visit.

most deletions are not permanent however.

we appreciate that some are the results of misunderstandings or personal circumstances coloring people's behavior.

The God of Christians is Very Vague

by frankiespeakin in

i no longer consider myself a christian.. i feel that there may be a god, but if there is, he's not the god christians worship, for such a god makes no sense.. if as the bible says we need to have faith in jesus to get everlasting life,,, why would this god make it so misleading and leave so much room for ligitmate doubt,,, by having this information passed on to us by men and organizations that have not been totally honest????.

why would he use the bible to relate this information, when the bible is so full of errors????

the evidence is very clear that the bible has been tampered with over the centuries, so that a reasonable person can have legitimate doubts about the bible's origins.. also, why would god use men who are so prone to dishonesty, to convey this lifesaving information?.

Read all the books you like, and listen to all the people you want, but until you make a personal connection to the divine you'll never know. Further, you'll continue to believe that the divine does not exist.

LT,

So then if it is as you say it is there is no hope for me unless God contacts me. I cannot contact that which I do not know.

I personally wish to be identified with neither the Democrats or the Republicans.

Neither side represents my views sufficiently - they are both awful at the things that count.

How much mental illness in your congregation?

by badboy in

jw
friends

any takers?

donkey

All believers, including JWs, are mentally ill.

If you describe people who have an imaginary (cannot be proved) friends and who talk to the imaginary friends then are they mentally ill? If they said they had an invisible dog and kept talking to it would they seem mentally ill? How is this different - except for the fact that people do it en masse and the fact that they have done it for a long time and now they get away with it because they call their imaginary friend "God" and they tell the rest of us we need faith in order to know the friend is not imaginary but is in fact real?

Little Toe,

Have you considered that all man's attempts to describe "God" have failed miserably?

How do we find out about God then - all we have as beginners are the Bible and the followers who teach it? Who described God to you? Wasn't it a human or based on what humans have written?

Further, if "God" were to use men, where would he find some that weren't prone to dishonesty, etc, etc?
Might I ask what issues you have with "Christ" (since that is the real crux of "Christianity", not the beliefs and behaviours of those who claim to follow him)?

If we should not listen to Christians, and if we should not look at their beliefs or read what was written by men then where should we turn?

Does God speak with you directly? Do you have visions sent from him?
