  Is it just me or has this site become a Believer/Atheist warzone?

  by BU2B in

  1. jw

  i enjoy the odd thread about evoloution vs creation, etc but lately it seems that a large percentage of threads here devolve into fighting between atheists and theists and distract from what most of us here see eye to eye on, the wt and related things.

  i wish things could be more civil here and fr people to realize that people will never see eye to eye on the topic.

  it gets so tiring to see the contstant bickring and fighting on those threads.. they seem to go on page after page but very little of substance is discussed seeing as the existence or non existence of a god can be proven by anyone.

  Ok, now I know why you atheists get so spittin' mad at some believers.

  by Julia Orwell in

  cuz they feel like they're banging their heads against a wall.. i don't really fall into the category of atheist or believer, but i'll go where the facts lead me.

  that generally leads to atheism, and is why atheists end up getting mad and therefore rude at believers: they will lay out facts, raise questions, play devil's advocate, and reason in an evidence-based, structured way.

  i've seen it many times before on this forum.

  Do you miss the sense of superiority?

  by Diest in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is and odd topic but there is a part of me that really misses feeling that i knew more about the world than 99.9% of the people.

  i spent so many years in school being the odd person because of religion.

  i embraced it to some extent.

  Why do so-called believers need my approval or that of any atheist?

  by Band on the Run in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  recent posts from those who may mistakenly consider themselves "believers" demand a safe haven in this forum.

  they don't like associating with atheists or someone like me.

  of course, there are hundreds of thousands of sites for christian discussion already set up on the internet.

  god-of-the-gaps. Should we or shouldn't we fiil in the gaps with God?

  by KateWild in

  2. beliefs

  science imo does not have all the answers.

  when i discover gaps in science, it's easy for me, as a temporary measure to fill in the gaps with god.

  i do this until i have learnt something new.. what about you?

  Musings about different types of atheist!

  by Seraphim23 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a thought that occurs to me is that if one has the belief that all that is real is only explicable in terms of particles and forces, and that nothing exists that is not one of these, then good and bad doesnt exist either, the same would be true for any concept for that matter.

  or perhaps it is only true when reduced to the level of matter and forces, but without the moral force, meaning and purpose that such a materialist only description would entail.

  after all, if death is forever, which is materialist view, then what does it matter if a seventy or seven year old enters the grave?

  I'm Perfect, You're Doomed - a review

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "i'm perfect, you're doomed" by kyria abrahams, 2009, touchstone.. if you want a way to get people out of that horrible cult, easily, quickly and expeditiously, then here is how to do that.. i can say with a vote of confidence that anyone who reads this book will never and i mean never become a dub.

  dubs who read it (assuming they have at least one or two brain cells left) will run from their religion like flies on shit when you pour bleach on it and blow it up with dynamite.. toss away crisis of conscience, apocalypse delayed, 30 years a watchtower slave and all those other very nice books and read this one.

  i read those and all the other ones.

  Question regarding Faith...(adamah)

  by tec in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  peace!.

  you have stated (and others have agreed and stated the same) that faith is not based on evidence, or it is not faith to begin with.

  may i ask you, then, if you think the apostles and early disciples, who walked with christ, had faith?
