Does Anyone Still Believe in God?

by LaurenM in

do any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?

even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.

the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

Everyone believes in God. It is instinctual. There hasn't ever been a culture without belief in God.

Which god and what do you mean by "culture"?

No you haven't been able to prove to me with evidence that a creator was not responsible for guiding evolution and especially the formation of enantiomers. The Soai reaction is not substantial evidence it just proves that in nature there is an auto catalyst. This is really evidence of guidance rather than chance formation.

It's been proved, just not to you because you've not bothered to learn enough to understand the evidence. The problem is not lack of proof presented to you, it's lack of effort to understand it on your part.

Has NASA discoverd flowing water on Mars?

by The Rebel in

nasa is holding a press conference today entiltled " mars mystery solved".

speculation is they will announce the discovery of flowing water on mars?.

the significance of this is that it raises the possibility of possible past life or future existence on the planet.. the rebel..

Viviane

Aliens or even microbes don't exist on other planets.

At best, that is your uninformed opinion.

The last time NASA found water particles on Mars it was revealed it came from human technology from earth.

Incorrect.

clear favourite is water has been discovered.

Water HAS been found on Mars already.

EXACTLY Why JW's Are NOT Christian

by Perry in

a lot of people, ex-jws, believers and unbelievers alike, think that jw's are just a somewhat kooky brand of christianity.

is it possible to "try and follow jesus" and not be christian?

what exactly makes someone a christian?

Viviane

Belief that Jesus existed and even doing good works in his name doesn't make a person a Christian, or make themcovered by the new covenant.
Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”

Interestingly, Perry, this example you used to prove your point is one of the passages we know that Jesus never would have said. Why, you may ask?

It's a pun! More specifically, it's a pun that only makes sense in Greek. In Aramaic or Hebrew, Nicodemus never would have confused the words for spiritual birth and physical birth, they are totally different. But in Greek, however, the words were the same.

This passage, to make sense, could ONLY have been spoken in Greek, not any language two Jews would have been speaking to each other at that time and place with their backgrounds.

This is YOUR definition not Christs' definition. And since we are discussing what constitutes a Christian, his words are what matter not yours or muslims or mine.

Christians are Christian either, so why the fight over who gets to snuggle with your imaginary friend?

.You are cherry picking Scriptures to support your position as to what was most important to Jesus, just as JWs do.

ALL Christians do that, otherwise they would be in jail.

Your free to stop posting nonsense about things your too lazy to look up and stop I tentionally attempting (and failing) to hurt people anytime if you're unable to handle the consequences of your actions.

It is worth noting that on several posts you've started, kind people such as myself did attempt to help you with new lines of thought such as critical thinking, research, evaluating evidence, etc., but your response was laziness and name calling in a failed bit to hurt someone. You had what you claimed you want and promptly took a shit on it.

So it goes, but don't expect to be able to play the victim card, snowflake.

I believe my post about " Goodwins Law" was an interesting assumption that I am entiltled to.

Of course you are entitled to make assumptions, just as the rest of the world is entitled to call you out on them for not bothering to do even a cursory google search to see if your unfounded assertions make sense. See how that works?

Its definitely my assumption forums should be a pleasurable leisure activity.

So?

Of course we are free to RESPECTIVLY disagree, but perhaps with some posters, the wisest choice would be to not disagree at all.

You said you were personally attempted to hurt me with your words, failing miserably in the process. How do you reconcile your reprehensible actions and failure with your call to be respective and utter failure to do so?

I hope that makes sence.

Nope, not in the least, given your complete lack of sticking to your own ideals.

So would I be correct to assume " Goodwins Law" is a protection,and a reminder that we will always have little internet bullies?

As usual, you get it wrong due to lack of basic research.

Personally I see how an Internet bully is like a " Nazi ".

Your delicate snowflake feelings are not equivalent to the murder of 11 million people who, BTW, were murdered just for being who they were, not for lack of doing basic research.

Maybe this way the Internet bullies " ego" is fed for a short while?

I don't know. You were the only person here who has flung insults with the expressed intention (which you failed at, BTW. Miserably) of hurting someone else. That makes you the bully. Interestingly, you also whine quite a bit. Bullies often do that, lash out due to feelings of inadequacy.

Anyway in my opinion I always imagined the bully as very insecure

You're attempting to hurt other people on purpose while claiming to be the victim. You're displaying classic insecurity.

I believe he Has a longing to be acknowledged by his "followers "and so repeats the bullying on a daily basis....hence " Goodwins Law"

Once again you display a stunning lack of caring about knowing what you are talking about. You could have read all about Godwin's law in 2 minutes, yet choose to be ignorant of it yet think you can discuss it.

Narcissism indee.
