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.
Being an atheist means you positively mean God doesn't exist. Saying there is a possibility there could be some sort of god is agnosticism (which is where I'm at). And like you, I believe is nothing like the stories.
No, it doesn't. It means lacking belief in a god, gods, spirits, a spirit world, the supernatural, etc..
neither, can be proven only to the believer can they exist.
we could therefore say that a persons feelings on god and love are simply chemical reactions produced by the brain.
however what i find interesting is that if a certain part of a persons brain gets damaged their personalities and emotions can radically change.. the rebel..
Yes I see the problem, When I was 18 I once thought and spoke like you. That wasn't the person I wanted to be, so I bought myself that railway ticket and have travelled around, and discovered my 18 year old thinking was really quite, unattractive.
Well, I see in your desperation you're back to attempting to insult and hurt me personally. It was quite ugly of you to boast about that the first time you failed at it, this failure is no prettier.
In any event, you've no idea how I speak or think. Once again, you ignorantly presume more than you can know. Do you see the problem?

This is just another thread with Rebel seeking validation for his intellectual laziness to sooth the sting from the moon landing thread.
He is trying to convince himself and have someone agree that being intellectually lazy and making baseless and uninformed judgements is equivalent to learning and educating ones self.
It is a fools errand.

the Rebel ( A) Millions of believers and non believers may prefer to inhale and exhale the breath and the beauty of being alive, to " intellectual" thinking that is nothing more than the monotonous adding up of numbers. They can still appreciate " the wonder and magnificence of life, the universe and everything" perhaps often even more so?
So you admit you aren't intellectual and haven't attempted to ever be so, yet feel comfortable making (erroneous) assertions about something you are ignorant of.
Do you see the problem?

And my freedom with this railway ticket, is to accept the farmers can teach me to milk cows, and a sailor can teach me to sail a ship, but from a scholarly point of view on God too much thinking is shit, because the philosophers be it athiest or believers in God or Love can't proove a thing in words.
Well, you're certainly proving true your comments about your lack of quality thinking and seem determined to remain in that state.

As the moon landing thread showed, Rebel, what you conclude is irrelevant. You've done no work to investigate how science works, not thought about the question and don't even understand why you're in the category of "cake + blue = unicorn" or, in other words, not even wrong.
Equating your lack of investigation, critical thinking and understanding with the rest of us by claiming "witness like behavior" is emphatically wrong and ridiculous.

ose are big words, considering to the pile* you can show for,-- compared to the majestic edifice that we live in.
* not trying to belittle your achievements ( if any).
Oh, no worries! You're not capable of belittling me. Also, I can try to use smaller words next time if you promise to at least try to construct your responses in a way that makes sense.

Asking people to define a god so it can be discussed or debated and then just dismissing any silent or absent god as "irrelevant", "worthless" or "pointless", is empty. (argumentum ad lapidem)
This could be avoided by simply giving a justification for the dismissal
No one is asking you to define god that way, it's simply the best any believer has been able to do. Hardly my fault.
