  in the blog http://debunkingchristianity.blogspot.com bloggers john shore, john loftus, and robert price are watching the dismantling of christinaity over the lgbt question in the us.

  see the 10/17/2014 post.. coupled with the scandals of the megachurches lately many christians are asking questions for the first time on how things have gotten this way and where is the holy spirit to protect the church and people.. .

  It is a bit funny that unstopable ravens repressive attitude towards homosexuality, as well as his attitude towards those more progressively minded (they are to be blamed and branded as sinfull) is exactly one of the things that is hurting the evangelic movement right now.

  keep up the godly gaybashing upstopableravens . What you are experiencing is the feeling of being on the wrong side of history and moral progress. In a few decades your oppinions will be considered fringe and cringeworthy like overt racism or sexism.

  my god, i saw a cooking show the other day and they told people to put EBOLA in their food! or rather, they said:

  "You can eat cola"

  E(B)OLA!

  They thought they could sneak in this hidden message but I got the better of them; perhaps they thought so because "eat" sound very differently in my language and the evil illuminati satanist alien cucumberdwarfes didn't think i could speak english, but I solved their riddle and NOW THE INTERNETS KNOW!!!!

  ps.

  Can anyone tell me, if the illuminati is behind ebola, but ebola is also the plague the lord cast upon mankind according to genesis, would that make Jesus himself an illuminati member? it sounds plausible, since it is well-known the church, illuminati and builder-bob are basically the same, however isnt jesus the good guy?

  gopher: Then you have the gaul to criticize the Watchtower when they do what you do to a far LESSER extent.

  gopher, i am super serious, you will no longer be able to talk to your family.

  I just send them a letter and they will shun you from now on.

  The only way to end this is by quitly lurking for a year.

  ...so when the ebola scare quitly dies out in a few months, this will once and for all disconfirm the "hidden messages in tv shows" crap? Right?

  Or is it more like it will again and again immune to disconfirming evidence like a religious belief..

  WHAT IS FACT. ( A bizarre fantazy)

  i think my earlier post " what is a fact" has run it's course.

  in this thread i would like to present the same question " what is a fact" from a different viewpoint.. many j.w children have loving parents ( that is a fact) but parents who insanley demanded unquestioning obidience to their deranged standards.. so " what is a fact" to innocent children is that a god who they have never seen nor heard, will destroy them if they dont live to the g.bs deranged standards.. so basically these children have been taught the wrong meaning of words:-.

  love is conditional.

  NHaH: I think you need to more firmly distinguish between the particular claim ("The cat is white") and the belief in the claim (I believe it is nearly certainly true that "the cat is white"). Much post-modern waffle on truth and facts arise by confusing the two, for instance it is argued that since we can never know for certain that a cat is white (the second type of claim) the first type of statement does not make sense, or since two people can have different beliefs about the cat (say one can think the cat is white and the other black; again a claim of the second type) we cannot make sense of the factual statement "the cat is white".

  Once this distinction is made, and once we accept knowledge is not certainty nor have to be, a lot of philosophical deadwood is swept away.

  Crossposting:

  The emphasis on words like fact, truth, proven or certainty in conjuction with scientific ideas is in my oppinion a misunderstanding of the nature of science and knowledge in general. It is much more usefull to consider science as obtained ideas that are usefull in the sense of making predictions; when these predictions turn out to be confirmed or disconfirmed on evidence, this allow us to increase or decrease our confidence in the ideas. "Usefull", "trustworthy" or "properly true" are in my oppinion a more usefull vocabulary.

  Bertrand Russell, in his history of western philosophy, discuss this as the difference between the english and continential enlightenment: The continential enlightenment (Kant is a good example) conceptualize the process of obtaining knowledge as starting out from certain ideas that are assumed to be self-evidently true and then deducing consequences that must then be true as well. The english enlightenment view knowledge as being piecemeal, tentative and not necesarily strictly true. Russell illustrate the obtained knowledge as two pyramids: the english enlightenment supporting theories on a wide base of accepted ideas and facts whereas the continential enlightenment is an inverted pyramid where broad knowledge is supported on just a pinpoint of logic.

  why, if you're a health care worker who's been exposed to the ebola virus, would you get on an airplane and travel right after?.

  Sam Whiskey: in other words, god will kill all the unbelievers and that make you happy. Well that sounds perfectly sane...

  Must be frustrating to have your nutty beliefs invalidated every few months :-).

  nonjwspouse: "Bohm, using tape is NOT going to protect these people. ( kinda obvious now huh? But to anyone with COMMON SENSE it was already obvious."

  no, sure, and there will be other cases, other fuckups, other health workers infected.. just like with every other contageous disease. I just don't see why there are reasons to be alarmed at this point since *most* african countries seem able to cope.
