WWI and Beer
by Farkel inin april, 1917 the united states declared war on germany.
the german u-boats had sunk a bunch of american ships and the war declaration was justified, even though woodrow wilson was basically, a total asshole.. anti-german frenzy hit the american shores.
sauerkraut was renamed "freedom cabbage" and dachshunds were stoned to death.

If You Were God How Would You Prove You Existed
by Pig ini ask this because obviously everyone has different criteria, hence why we have muslims who think quran is the more than enough proof, christians who think the bible is perfect proof and atheists who believe that nothing yet has been proof enough of gods existence.. living with humans we all must have a good idea of human nature (god should certainly know) so what would you provide as proof if you were god to convince the masses of your existence?.
if you were a christian would your proof surpass that contained in the bible, would you provide less proof?.
if you are atheist would you provide a mathematical equation or a series of supernatural events that fulfill prophecies every 100 years?.

2 year old in China run over-people just walk by
by PaintedToeNail inwhen i saw this article on the news it really disturbed me.
the callousness of the 'people' walking by this poor, sweet baby as she lay writhing in pain and all alone, was horrific to say the least.
my blood truly felt like it ran cold and i've been thinking about this little girl all night.

Householder is just not that into it if...
by White Dove ini was thinking about how inefective the ministry really is, no matter how often one goes to a householder's door for years.. they just never bite the bate, yet the jw will keep going back.. jw's are clueless.
they need to know the signs the hhs give them.. it reminds me of that book he's just not that into you..

Basic ground rules for debating the existence of god or lack thereof
by mankkeli ini can accept, as a matter of logical fact, that nobody can in the literal rather than colloquial sense prove that there is no such thing as a god.. this, like many other axioms sets the stage for an actual conversation about the evidence, here are a few i've gathered, would appreciate your opinions, and maybe additions to the list.
i'll toss out five to start.. .
1 - it is impossible to prove there is no god whatsoever.. 2 - only a god concept which is well defined can be proven not to exist if it's prescribed traits prove to contradict evidence or become logically contradictory.. 3 - demonstrating an event or phenomena which is not yet explained by science does not prove the existence of god(s).. 4 - an appeal to personal revelation or experience is useless to anyone else, as you cannot provide evidence of it, and it is not repeatable.. 5 - a natural explanation is always logically more likely than a supernatural one..
