  what sounds can a lyrebird accurately reproduce?

  there are spoofs and hoaxes but also reported evidence that they can make some amazing sounds.

  "in minnesota, a man said to his visitors: "i saw you coming, so i went to get this book.

  " he held up a bible teach book and said that when he was in prison, he stole the book.

  when asked if he had read it, he replied that he was going to read it on the weekend while he was fishing.

  Um, he stole it but didn't read it... And they let him out of prison with it?

  "Oh - you're a liar are you, fancy a study?"

  Hardly a big issue, just seems odd... Are they so used to swallowing lies that they can't even see them any more?

  recentley i read ray franz book " christian freedom" and it occurd to me if he had lost his faith and become athiest the society would have delighted in that.

  i think had ray turned athiest it would have been more easily " justified" in the mags what a " evil man he was" ....but maintaining his faith left the possibillity the society could be wrong.. .

  i am athiest but i kept this to myself when i left... any comments?.

  I think in life people do what they can't not do.

  Also, believers often just believe what they are scared not to

  I've been talking to a friend recently who believes in the whole "illuminati/rap video hand sign/agenda 21" stuff. She is now going to church because of some kind of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" train of logic. She thinks the bible is corrupted and can't be trusted... However, refuses to admit that her belief in the biblical god and his son doesn't make sense - if the bible can't be trusted.

  She is scared of hell/annihilation and says it's an A or B choice. Pick your side.

  To many people Atheist sounds like Satanist.

  Yup - If someone can show I'm wrong about what I think... I learn much and am happy to have done so.

  If someone can show a JW that they are wrong about what they believe... They lose eternal life with the fluffy lions and the treehouses.

  I guess that's just too much at stake for some of them to even risk listening/reading. Phobia indoctrination at work, it seems.

  Did You Ever Learn Anything From The Meetings?

  by minimus in

  i found the meetings to be especially boring from the late 1980s on.

  before that, we actually tried to make people want to listen.

  the meetings were pretty interesting.
