  i make weird little tunes, us ex-dubs have gotta fill up our time in this wicked system (tm) with something.

  this here is one my latest tracks, check it out if you're into that kinda thing.

  it's a bit off the wall, but that's what you should expect from a psychotic parrot!

  How much time have they bought themselves? How long can they stretch it now?

  members of the second group of annointed will be alive to see the end, or so they are now saying, therefore the youngest member of the anointed alive today is the key here.

  how old is the youngest accepted annointed person today?

  they can't be any younger than 50-ish, surely.

  Antitypes / Greater fulfillments - Where does this concept come from? Is there a biblical basis for it?

  by Psychotic Parrot in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been discussing this recently with my dub family & would like some more information on the subject as i'm not all that well informed on it at present.

  i'm not a believer in the divinity of the bible, but i do respect those who feel that bible helps them in their lives.

  however, those who claim that certain ancient prophecies will have a greater / larger fulfillment in modern times puzzle me.

  A better way of doing it, with regards to the 'God' question. If you're a theist or deist, please answer this question.

  why are you a theist or a deist?

  please give any or all reasons why without resorting to a god of the gaps argument.

  that is the only condition i am making, since in my (& presumably every other atheist's) opinion, a god of the gaps argument simply isn't convincing enough to demonstrate that there is a god, only that there might be a god.. thank you.. p.s.

  Are there any decent arguments for God's existence which do not fall prey to the argument from ignorance fallacy? (i.e. God of the gaps)

  by Psychotic Parrot in

  god of the gaps arguments are simply not convincing, god is no more likely to be the correct gap filler than anything else, in any case where god is squeezed into a gap, we could easily just fill it with (for example) a committee of eternally existing physical lifeforms, god is no more plausible than they are as an explanation.

  as for the arguments themselves:.

  the cosmological argument = god of the gaps: we think (though we are not certain) that the universe had a beginning, it was probably the big bang, the big bang needed a cause.

  trust this to be in the news during the same month as the peace & security-based 'special talks'.

  not a patch on the 1986 year of peace, but still, it'll get some j-dubs murmuring.

  the volcano in iceland doesn't help either, seismic activity has always been a 'sign' for them.. http://news.sky.com/skynews/home/world-news/middle-east-peace-israel-under-pressure-from-us-over-settlement-growth/article/201004315608794?f=rss.

  I've had enough of this place

  i hate the watchtower.

  and the governing body are the lowest lifeforms ever to crawl out of the devil's anus.

  but the world really is no better & neither are ex-jdubs, despite their character building experience.. the watchtower and all other religions are pointless scumbag rackets.

  richard dawkins said this:.

  "...well, i think it is fair to say that if you were to...".

  you can read it in context somewhere else probably.
