Who can explain why the "Two Witness" rule is wrong, in the simplest term?
by DATA-DOG in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
with all the legalese being tossed around, and the expert manipulation on the part of the wtbts, who can explain why the "two witness" is being perverted by the wtbts?

i don't care if you're a bible believer and want to approach this from a biblical standpoint, or if you simply use logic and reason.

how would you explain this subject to a j-dub, or even a non-dub?.

The Evolution of Morality - Jonathan Haidt
by cofty in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the question of how humans came to have a moral sense is one of the more interesting challenges offered by believers against unguided evolution.

even informed christians who accept the reality of evolution feel a need to add an additional step where god imbued man with a conscience.. non-supernatural explanations of the origin of morality usually focus on simple examples of reciprocal altruism and the ability to empathise with fellow creatures.

secular moral systems most often rest on the single foundation of the effects actions have on the well-being of conscious creatures.

Was/Is Religion Useful Even if it isn't True?
by cofty in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
in his book "the righteous mind" jonathan haidt proposes that religion served - and continues to serve an important role in bringing about cohesion within non-kin groups.. to put it very briefly haidt advocates a form of group selection but only insofar as it applies to humans.

our unique brains have made it possible for us to cooperate in groups in ways that are impossible for all non-human species.

despite their intelligence you will never see two chimps helping each other to carry the same log or one chimp pulling down a branch while the other removes the fruit.. his description is that humans are 90% chimp and 10% bee.

Trump Apologetics

what do you think it will take to get the defenders, and equivocators to stop their apologetics?.

i'm beginning to wonder if we will literally see the king walking down the street with no clothes and still have the equivicators on this board make excuses.

sometimes theists challenge atheists about what evidence would be required before they would believe.
