you name a song title and the next person names another title that has one of the words from the first one, making a chain of associations.. so far instance,.

our house...csny.....house of the rising sun.....bob dylan.... your turn... .

Would you go to church?

by Coded Logic in

i have an unspoken rule that if someone ever invites me to a church - that i haven't been to before - i will go.

even though i'm an atheist i'm still interested in the experiance.

just like i'm not into basketball but i would like to go to a game sometime to feel the energy of the crowd.. growing up as a jw i've never set foot in another church.

I have been to church for Harvest Festival, Easter and St. Georges parade when my son was a scout. I even wore my Flying Speghetti Monster T. Shirt.

The org should stump up for Ashya King's treatment

by Mickey mouse in

all the jws on my facebook news feed are defending the family vigorously and rightly so imo.

if the watchtower had any sense they would step up and offer to pay for ashya's treatment.

that would do far more for their profile than their website publicity campaign.

You'd think it was an ideal opportunity wouldn't you.......

Are we imperfect from birth?

by Pinku in

are we imperfect from birth?.

there may be some scriptures that say we are imperfect from birth because of (fictitious) adams sin.

such verses make no sense like many other prima-facie meaningless verses such as joshua 10:13; isaiah 40:26; john 3:13;11:26 ........ however, there are scriptures that say we are capable of displaying perfection which is already within us.

I am as perfect as I need to be.

A question for Athiests.

i am now an athiest myself, but i think being an athiest its a bit like having a faith.

some get very hooked on it and "preash" others (like me) simply get with with there lifes.

i am sure that some athiests like to have discussions about the non existence of " god" in a similar way that "thisists" do about the existence of god.

If anyone claims to be angry at god they cannot be an Atheist.

I am angry at the people that either have used or still use the god construct to grab power and control others.

What did ants evolve from?

by Pinku in

an ant's brain is very minuscule when compared to a chimpanzee, yet it is capable engineering!

(not to mention its ability to support 5,000 times their body weight before losing their heads.

I do find it amazing that science has not been able explain exactly how ants communicate so quickly with one another.

Why do you find that "amazing"?
