  (disclaimer: minimus is going to be jealous.

  this sort of question is his tradmark :).

  What is truth?

  by Heisenberg in

  well, i have been lurking on this site for several months and i recently decided to join as a member.

  i have made several observations and would like to make a few comments.. first, i am perplexed by the attitude of many on this site that are either former or active (but apostate) jws.

  they seem to have a strong hatred for the wts and also for rank and file jws.

  My greatest growth occurred after researching (and dismissing) the Bible, then went on to Taoism and Zen Buddhism thoughts.  The thing I took to heart most about eastern thought was that I don't have to be right, I don't have to know everything, and I don't even have to embrace all of the eastern beliefs in order to benefit from the wisdom I do accept.

  It is a fascinating train of thought to ride...

  scientists seek religious experience -- in the brain.

  Persinger is the co-inventor of the 'God helmet' which when worn tries to evoke religious experiences by running an electromagnetic current into your skull, particularly the temporal lobes.

  I saw a documentary about this guy; I think it was in the Through the Wormhole series. Or perhaps PBS Nova.
  

  Cool stuff. It would stand to reason that if you think or feel it, the cause is chemistry in your brain and body. How else would you be aware of it?

  That being said, do androids dream of electric sheep?

  No

  Clearly a discussion forum, though considering the site's nature, informal debates are often a result.

  an athist made this casual statememt on another thread:.

  this would suggest to me that there are at least some atheists that do have consistant beliefs.. .

  as an atheist, how could he possibly trust the reason that suggests this to himself?

  Rephrase it any way you wish for yourself, I no longer wish to judge peeps based on their beliefs.

  I won't say the org didn't do some damage in my life but i chose to leave as soon as I could in my teens. So I didn't waste many years as a choice personally

  Your mileage may vary

  Some do, not all

  Do you think you represent people here? Really?

  Also, you forgot to add the "merciless" part to your anti-belief scrutiny.

  As for the OP, who gives a shite? Some guy on the interwebs who doesn't know me said something ignorant about my worldview. I could argue with a stranger who has no interest in understanding to prove what I believe is true. Eh, whatever

  Imagine what you could do with an unlimited budget :)

  Music itself has a value that is hard to define
