    beerose: sorry I wasn't tring to judge anyone,I just feel a lot of hate coming out of some of the post,

    Yes, some people are full of hate, but sometimes you may think you're sensing hate when it's not there. So like you say it is not wise to judge. One person's irreverent comment or joke can be taken as hatred by someone on the other side of the screen... hate is a serious and offensive accusation to make, and it is not a term you should throw around casually, broad-brushing entire groups with the accusation. If you're going to accuse someone of hatred you ought to back up that claim and direct it toward a specific offender, instead of simply flinging the accusation out into the ether.

    beerose: I grew up believing in God and I can't just throw Him away!

    And I don't think anyone is asking you to throw God away, I live in the USA which has as a basic principle the idea that freedom of religion is a right. But if you want to discuss atheism/theism you ought to realize that you are exposing yourself willingly to opposing views. I enjoy that opportunity since I was prevented from doing so for so long in the WTS.

    beerose: Again sorry for affending

    Speaking for myself, you did not offend me, but that's probably only because I did not understand at all what you were talking about with the killing and raping people for fun comments. If I did, perhaps then I would have been offended.

    you're kind of scary yourself. Have you ever heard of live and let live? By the way, Nameless One, well said.

    I prefer 'live and let die'.

    I'm an atheist, and I met up with a few members of JWD several months back. I spent a fair bit of it talking about spiritual beliefs with a member who believes there is something there, and that the divine is in the bible (as well as other places). He knew what I believed (or rather, didn't believe).

    You know what? It was so, so nice to be able to sit there and have a completely friendly and polite conversation with someone who disagress with you about the bible/God/etc. and not be worried or concerned about that disagreement in the slightest. I really enjoyed it, and we've been in touch since.

    Online, discussions can be different. But it's really okay to disagree with each other here.

    Live and let live. Agree to disagree. Those are the secrets.

    And when they both fail {because they will at times, believe me!}...well, this is a forum. Click on a more pleasant or suitable thread. And learn to ignore the posters who really push your buttons

    Take care~

    Hortensia,yes I am pretty scary sometimes,thanks for the reality check! Priceless,and gloobster,one of the threads I don't remember which one calling all bees,it takes two to tango,I think a 4 year old has no choice.there was a few others that I did just leave from! I just got a computor 2 years ago and never been on forums,I thought splashing my pain thinking the ones responiable for that pain would read them! They don't listen to a word you say so maybe if they read the words,they may get it! I also came to get answers that I got,and maybe help others like me! when you see scriptures with remarks from me its for them! I was tring to put the fear in them,I didn't think,sorry! I do believe from what I read that my sister who died found this website also thinking it was a JW forum she got a computor and started fliping out about being called a troll and other things that didn't make sence,so now I need to find her alias name from her family I only hope they have it,so I can read her poems!

    Hi Beerose,

    I did not read all the relpies here but, don't be scared. Some of my best friends are atheists. I don't know what to call myself. Is there such a thing as dontreallygiveashitist?

    I hope you find your sister's old account.

    Do not fret, Beerose.

    Not all of us has thrown Him away. In fact, since leaving the WTBTS - our personal relationship with our God, Lord and Savior has stengthened.

    Peace in Christ.
