chief rabbi leon ashkenazi said: "the difference between an atheist christian and an atheist jew is that an atheist christian does not believe that god exists, while an atheist jew believes that god does not exist.".

i'm not so sure about the jewish-christian borderline, but i love the nuance.. so which sentence suits you better?.

"i don't believe that god exists.".

The spelling fairy says: It's 'atheist', not 'athiest'

by Apognophos in

atheists are people who are "a-" (without) "theism" (a belief in god).

they are not "athiests"; they are not "athier" than everyone else, nor is "athy" a word.. .

this isn't aimed at anyone in particular, but it's a mistake i see every day on here and i thought it might be nice to have a topic we can bump just to periodically remind people of the proper spelling, especially since they are sometimes referring to their very own beliefs.

i've always wondered that.

recently i asked that question on another thread and didn't really get ananswer.

cofty made an excellent point that we often hear what it isn't, but that really isn't useful.. so, what is it?

There used to be an anology that it was like electricity, I say if it shorts out then "god" is dead.

"Dubs For Dummies"

by Farkel in

dear brothers and sisters in the worldwide brotherhood of jehovahs witnessestm,.

there has been much public interest in our beliefs lately, so we have prepared a very brief summary of our core beliefs in a new pamphlet which you may offer to interested persons.

hopefully, this pamphlet will generate enough interest with honest-hearted people and enable you to start many new bible studies.

Another classic for the newbies!

Farkel is a liar and a cheat!

i have absolutely had it with farkel's lies and (try new kiddy bathroom bubbles only $3.95 per bottle) his childish attempts to discredit those who still believe in god.

he is relentless in his (now the one pound tub of the famous amway laundry detergent only 19.95) efforts to shove atheism down our throats.

i personally am offended by (new amway energy bars in four tasty flavors, box of 12 only $6.95) his blatantly cynical attitude and slamming dialog.. i think his account should be (summers coming, try amway car wax and make your old car look new)!

By taking a transfusion they still say that you are no longer a witness,,,,, you dissociate yourself. Till I read it in their publications I don't believe it.
