  Phizzy Said this......And I am afraid I disagree

  by KateWild in

  i still find it strange that believers cannot get it in to their heads that atheism is not a belief, but theism is.

  there cannot possibly be proof "for" the atheistic position as it is simply a position that says i see no proof for a god.. if someone says there are pink unicorns with purple spots and i say i have never seen any proof of their existence, i cannot offer proof of my "position", the onus is 100% upon the spotted unicorn guy to prove their existence to me.

  simple.. where the frustration enters in for us non-unicornists is when the unicornists expect us to listen to inane arguments , non facts and plain nonsesnse and then go along with their delusion.

  Laika, nah that statement is too self - demeaning. No one wants to accept they are deluded, they educate themselves so they are not. Love kate xx

  But presupposing the existence of an intelligent God who designed all of this solves NOTHING-adam

  And your point being?

  I do not wish to solve anything, there is no problem to solve. I am not presupposing anything. I simply have faith it was God. Love kate xx

  After listening to a talented musician in Berlin, in 1920 Einstein gave him a hug and exclaimed publicly "Now I know there is a God in Heaven" Music, nature and God were all intwined for him.

  Was Einstein deluded, or was he pretending to know things he didn't know?

  IMO he had faith

  Simon,

  Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Section

  This is a very interesting topic, in nature the formation of complex geometric shapes is wonderfully awe inspiring and confirms my bias that an itelligent Creator is responsible for this. I have faith it was God.

  Calling someone 'deluded' is not the same as calling someone a 'person of faith'.-tornapart

  Yes your point is clear. I retract my statement and join you in disagreeing with Dawkin's and his followers. We are not deluded. We have faith.

  Well done tornapart, Love Kate xx

  i know, i'd jump into this topic by saying, "heck yeah.

  they're the ones saying they've been appointed by god based on what they were doing back around 1914-1919.

  " but i'm trying to help someone out who has reached a roadblock with his wife.

  Albert Einstein's Sex Life, Seems He Had A Way With The Ladies

  the letters reveal how einstein lost most of his nobel prize money in bad bond investments on wall street, and provide details of how he was showered with affection and gifts by his many mistresses.... he became involved with elsa, a cousin, in 1912 when he was still married to his first wife mileva, a fellow scientist with whom he had two boys, hans albert and eduard.

  I can see phizzy's point, tornapart, may be I am not being delusional as Dawkin's puts it, oooppsss! I mean phizzy. But faith plays a part where facts are not evident.

  It is the same to say "I believe in God, this is based on many scientific facts as well as a measure of faith, and I choose to have faith there is a God"

  Dawkin's puts word's like delusion into peoples minds instead of using the word faith that's my view. Love Kate xx

  When you were a fader, have you ever woke any JW up about TTATT?

  Yes, I woke up my daughter and in the process of waking up my son. I can remember one really terrible converation I had with my precious girl, I said the wrong thing and tore her world apart in seconds.

  I have learned we need to tread very gently, and be loving all the time. It's hard and we can lose patience and get frustrated.

  Lamallcool, why do you ask? Who do you want to wake up first?

  Please help re:objections to Thanksgiving?

  by M.J. in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what are the standard jw objections to thanksgiving?

  do they claim there is any kind of a scriptural basis for condemning it?

  i plan on asking someone about this and i'm curious what types of reasoning they might try to throw at me.

  Well after reading the thread I conclude it's all about control, which in turn is all about the money. If they can control you not to eat turkey when the rest of the country eats turkey, the GB can control you to donate as much of your funds to their retirement project in Warwick.
