Dealing with my mother
by SickofLies inmy mom knows that i really don't believe that the jw's have the 'truth' and she is always telling me to just give it more time and i'll snap out of it.
she thinks i'm going through a stage right now and i'll 'grow out of it' and eventually i'll want to return to the religion.
i try to reasure her that such hopes are futile, but often my conversations go like this:.

Misquoting Jesus
by SickofLies inbook review: the popular perception of the bible as a divinely perfect book receives scant support from ehrman, who sees in holy writ ample evidence of human fallibility and ecclesiastical politics.
though himself schooled in evangelical literalism, ehrman has come to regard his earlier faith in the inerrant inspiration of the bible as misguided, given that the original texts have disappeared and that the extant texts available do not agree with one another.
most of the textual discrepancies, ehrman acknowledges, matter little, but some do profoundly affect religious doctrine.

Atheism & Postmodernism
by SickofLies inthe whole structure of postmodernism is built on a new view of the limits of reason.
science seems to confirm that reason only takes us so far.
it is very good for solving practical problems, but not for solving the mysteries of the universe.

For Muslim Who Says Violence Destroys Islam
by SickofLies inthree weeks ago, dr. wafa sultan was a largely unknown syrian-american psychiatrist living outside los angeles, nursing a deep anger and despair about her fellow muslims.
today, thanks to an unusually blunt and provocative interview on al jazeera television on feb. 21, she is an international sensation, hailed as a fresh voice of reason by some, and by others as a heretic and infidel who deserves to die.. check out the ny times article on her: www.nytimes.com/2006/03/11/international/middleeast/11sultan.html?ex=1299733200&en=d13886daba5e586f&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss.

The Diginty of Atheism
by SickofLies infor centuries, we have been told that without religion we are no more than egotistic animals fighting for our share, our only morality that of a pack of wolves; only religion, it is said, can elevate us to a higher spiritual level.
today, when religion is emerging as the wellspring of murderous violence around the world, assurances that christian or muslim or hindu fundamentalists are only abusing and perverting the noble spiritual messages of their creeds ring increasingly hollow.
what about restoring the dignity of atheism, one of europe's greatest legacies and perhaps our only chance for peace?.

Governing Body and The Pope
by SickofLies ini have found this a good line of reasoning to use with jw's to really get them thinking, are there any differences between the governing body and the pope?
i can think of a lot of similarities, and the wtbts officially condemns the practice of having a 'pope' like figure in charge.
