If you were ‘God’, what would you do?

2. beliefs
this post is not meant to be blasphemous to non-atheists on this forum , just philosophical.

i refer to a god rather than the creator.

it;s 10,000 years in the future and you are a phd student with a brain the size of a planet, that has incredible technology at your fingertips to create life, similar to humans living today or better, intelligently and physically.

Golden Rule: Pure Garbage?
by willmarite in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
on another thread a poster made the comment that the golden rule was garbage.

she said it was arrogant and made assumptions.. i didn't want to derail that thread so i started another wondering if this is a common thought about this belief on this forum.

i guess i naively thought the value of doing to others as you want them to do to you was generally accepted as positive.. i understand people have different opinions of jesus as a person but i don't want to get into that here.

Disowning the God of the OT is not an Option
by cofty in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
it's to their credit that many modern christians prefer the jesus of the gospels to the god of the old testament.. ot god is an embarrassment.

i am not going to list his multitude of moral crimes here but my personal favourite is his brilliant idea that a girl who is raped must marry her rapist.

it's not his biggest crime but it demonstrates a disregard for human feelings that is beyond the comprehension of every moral person.

Can anyone explain love?

we have had a variety of theist vs atheist debates on this forum.

usually, it devolves (or evolves?

) into a debate on what can or cannot be proven.. so let's step back a second.

How to accept the actions of the Old Testament God
by confusedandalone in
1. jw
2. friends
how are we able to do this.. this is not an attempt to stir the pot or cause confusion but i was sitting here thinking of all the really horrid things that the old testament god did to people.

when i was a jw i just purposely put it to the back of my mind always trying to make an excuse.

when i was in field service and someone would ask me about it i would just change the subject.. however i have been reading alot of info lately here about how wonderful jesus is and how he is a direct representation of what god the father would be.

Could there really be something to the UFO phenomena? Amazing documentary
by yadda yadda 2 in
1. jw
2. friends
it's easy to just poo-poo the ufo thing, especially if you're naturally very skeptical after your jw experience as i am, but when you see documentary's like this it seems undeniable that some kind of inexplicable phenomenon is occuring.

.

could vehement deniars of the ufo phenomenon please suspend their criticisms until they've at least watched the whole documentary, to be fair to others who are more open-minded on this subject.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjismjxshpg.
