now we have to answer...... 1) is there more than one god?
how do you choose the most senior god?.
2) if you chose religious texts to make this desicion, how do you know they are not purposfully misleading by an ill willed god?.
snare,
You have 13 very good questions. I can't possibly answer all of them in one go. But question 3 is interesting
3) Does a god deserve to be Worshipped JUST because he exists and demands it?
Jehovah in Rev4:11 certainly demands it!!! I don't wnat to get into semantics of correct phrases. He demands it full stop, period. In my opinion NO he doesn't deserve it at all

In fact I rather feel that the evidence is stronger that if god exists,then he is Evil God.
What's his name? Satan? 1John 5:19
..from the scriptures why.... 1) material wealth is a sign of jehovah's blessing in our modern day.. 2) why jehovah blesses the growth of chicken populations, but allows active jehovah's witnesses to die in field service, or on the way to conventions, and on the way to celebrate the memorial?
3) why jesus is not your mediator?
bibles and a concordance only.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
cantleave - is spot on. They are not comming especially with sciptures
it occured to me on my way to work this morning that the concept of honor is rather silly at best, and more often quite dangerous if you really believe you have it.. think about it, what good is honor supposed to do?.
right of the bat we can all name a number of really stupid things which are associated with honor: honor killings, for instance, where a member of the family is murdered for insulting the families honor (you wonder how the honor ever actually tells people it has been offended), or duels which was a sport between aristocrats.
then there is the honor of dead people which can linger on for centuries, a certain prophet comes to mind, and it seems even dead objects like flags, banners, documents or nations can have honor which can be invoked to kill or maim others.. what are the legitimate invocation of honor as a reason to act a certain way?
I am inclined to agree with you. I don't think you do have honour. But I don't know you very well.

DD,
Good idea for a thread to get them out the woodwork. They want to know what we think about having 60 chickens and not one getting sick just because they went to the DC.
Yes Matt 6.33 last night's item was tragic. I think they would have thanked Jehovah no matter what good happened and blamed Satan for the bad stuff because he is the ruler of the world 1John 5:19.
Clarity had a good idea to get newbies posting.
Hope you get some more responses

Adam,
Thanks for your question. My sincere apologies you had to ask twice. There was a technical hitch. I was baiting someone to ask me to do my little science project and I am so glad you did Adam.
You have helped me more than you will ever know with your comments on this site. See you around the board.
Take care

Tammy,
The missing posts are visible now. I did not read your big long post which you answered two of my questions. Great thank you. I will pick your brains some more on a new topic about prayer soon, please look out for it.
Thanks Simon for fixing the problem.

Hey guys,
I think this is the end of the thread now. Well done for getting involved it was fun. I probably wont be checking it much now, but feel free to send me a pm if you have a question.
See you around the board

to illustrate my question.... i am watching an episode of the australian tv program "q & a" on youtube.
the panel includes the brilliant laurence krauss, gay bishop gene robinson, the woefully ignorant and bigoted rev fred nile and a few others.. the early questions put gene robinson under the spotlight and to be fair he comes across as a loving, compassionate, intelligent and - in his own words - "fabulous" person.
by contrast the reverend nile is a caricature of everything that is dispicable and hateful about theism.. a self-righteous young man in the audience asks gene how he deals with the bible's condemnation of homosexuality.
To answer your OP question. I would say less than 50 yrs ago. Thats is based on what Julia has said she has learnt, and I am assuming she learnt it less than 50yrs ago, and I am assumning she is a human.
Tammy,
Some of my page 2 and page 3 of this thread is missing on my screen. Can you repost any comments you made on these pages please. I will also pm simon to see if he can fix it.
Take care tammy
