  the (almost) pacificism of the jws was one of the things that attracted me to the witnesses when young.

  i wondered today, when i read this headline:.

  pope francis suggests those in weapons industry can't call themselves christianat rally of young people in turin, francis issues his toughest condemnation to date of the weapons industry, criticising investors as well as workerspeople who manufacture weapons or invest in weapons industries are hypocrites if they call themselves christian, pope francis said on sunday.link: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/22/pope-francis-says-those-in-weapons-industry-cant-call-themselves-christian.

  Hi wonder of you.. Thankyou for the reply...you obviously believe that Jesus approves of the Catholic church as you see it, is that not presumptuous...?what evidence do you have to prove this, as there is no personal account from him to substantiate.

  Richard Dawkins talking about a Creator

  by FusionTheism in

  richard dawkins admitted that information inside of dna, and the origin of life on earth, might point to intelligent designers, perhaps extraterrestrials.

  (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boncjbrrdq8 )richard dawkins further admitted, in a debate with francis collins for time magazine, that science might point to a creator existing, but that this creator might not be anything like yahweh:.

  time: "could the answer be god?

  I prefer to say...creative process as in bringing into being. Going before the formation of the earth and the germination of life and subsequent evolutionary journey to the present, rather than creator which implies some definitive entity. Fusion theism I dont believe it's stupidity or idiocy to think in those terms as I have outlined, but to hang your hat on an absolute is foolish, example being yahweh and the continuum and consequence of such belief.

  As with all of us, Dawkins has realised the limitations of our physical brain and what follows is guesswork from his own grey matter.

  Are atheists more likely to be morally good than Christians?

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have no problem saying atheists and christians are equal.. but some people seem to have the belief that atheists are more likely to be morally good, or more likely to change the world for good, than christians and theists.. but what evidence do you have to support this claim?.

  if atheism is what causes people to do great positive things for the world, then why weren't martin luther king, jr., william wilberforce, isaac newton, francis collins, barack obama, mother theresa, abraham lincoln, or john f. kennedy atheists?.

  It is the belief in supernatural deities which christians accept for the justification of adherence to morals. The athiest does not require such justification and therefore imo (if living to a good moral standard ) does so without coercion or fear of gods judgement and wins on the moral justification score. That being said both groups can of course be equally moral in practical life.

  Best Argument for Atheism - In your view.

  by LAWHFol in

  2. beliefs

  if crisis of conscience is one of the top watchtower doctrine killers, what is the coc of theism?.

  i'd like to read a book, or other material that does the best job logically arguing for atheism.. i've not read any darwin, however it is my assumption that his focus is primarily on evolution, is this correct?

  if you were to recommend one book or a few pieces of reading material, which do the best job of defending atheism, what would they be?.

  The courtroom drama differs from that of evidence for the existence of god in that the jury ie us start with an actual defendant and subsequently consider the pros and cons of the evidence of the alleged actions (crime ) of the defendant. Those interested in the existence of god have no actuality or proven defendant ie ' god ' from which to even consider evidence. Therefore no defendant no need for evidence for jury to consider...it's a non starter.

  The best argument for atheism is the theistic premise itself. No one could have asserted ' there is no god ' unless the assumption that such an entity was an actuality, therefore the burden must fall on the creators of this human idea to furnish proof. In ancient times myth and mysticism abounded due to lack of knowledge or evidential understanding, its not hard to understand that it was easy to be duped or convinced of the supernatural reason for the unexplainable due to ignorance. Athiests of contemporary times would in all probability have believed in some form of god had they lived then. To believe in god today is really to agree with and cede to the influence and reasoning of these ancients, so be it if you are content with that but you only fool yourself if you think it is otherwise. the athiest on the other hand has nothing to prove,how is it even possible to prove the actuality of something dreamed up in the ancient brain for reasons lost to us apart from some human devised ancient writings, we might as well try and prove any form foreign to our physical state as existing just because we dreamed it up. The idea of god is no different. I could envisage a tree and say it exists in actuality, yes the image in my mind does indeed exist but the actuality only exists once proven by evidence. The same applies to the god of the mind which does exist there, but proving the actual existence by irrefutable evidence is the only way by which any person of sound education and reasoning should accept the ancient concept as true.
