Are Believers Truly Humble?
by serotonin_wraith in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
if you are non religious, do you still feel those with religion show a higher level of humility than others in society?.

on the face of it, i feel most would answer in the affirmative.. but breaking it down, i find it harder and harder to accept.

in fact, i'd call it the opposite of humility.

robert lanza has literally written the book on stem cell science and delves into the issue of consciousness, reality, and a biocentric view of the universe.. .

while i was sitting one night with a poet friend watching a great opera performed in a tent under arc lights, the poet took my arm and pointed silently.

what is there to find "beyond" reason? (inspired by BurnTheShips)
by inkling in
1. jw
2. friends
i was struck by the honesty of a recent comment by burntheships,.

but i didn't want to hijack the thread.... [w]e see a lot of threads where atheists try to disprove that god exists.

atheism is a universal negative, how can one know for a certainty that something does not exist without infinite knowledge?

at the washingtonpost.com, one of the regular blogs is called "on balance".

often the topic is the balance between work and home life.

however, today the topic title was "do parents have the right to force religion on their kids?".

Why does an atheist have to disprove anything?
by digderidoo in
1. jw
2. friends
i have noticed alot of debate in posts lately between an atheist argument and a christian one.

it seems to me that the atheist is asked to disprove god's existence.

some times these debates have started to get personal with one side attacking the other with insults and i do not want to start another argument like these.. but i dont get it?

God weighs in
by nvrgnbk in
1. jw
2. friends
if you can't perceive my existence you're not really looking.. there are special people that can.

don't be bothered by the fact that these people can't agree on anything about me.. the point is that they believe and that's good enough for me.. how shall i reward them?

i'll be there when they're suffering.. watching.. admiring their faith.. though they disagree about how their faith will ultimately work out, it makes life easier for them somehow.. the poor fools that don't know me are left to suffer all by themselves.. you're all going to die.. wouldn't it be eaiser to face your fate knowing i was watching it all, permitting it all, and occasionally scourging a little too for good measure?
