  Sometimes I don't have a whole lot to say (and the editor won't let me undo saying nothing.)

  Anybody know the score? I stopped paying attention.

  Atheism, the absence of someone to pray to.

  by cyberjesus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was talking several days ago with a believer who was telling me what an atheist is.

  i personally do not have any gods, therefore i consider myself an atheist.

  however this person was telling me that an atheist says there is no god.

  If you want to argue what "knowing" means, then fine.

  I don't want to argue at all, OTWO. Yes, it was your "most atheists" distinction I disagreed with, which you have retracted. No argument and no offense intended. People disagree all the time. If they didn't, we'd all be the same, and what would be the fun in that?

  Do you consider yourself a 7 on Dawkins' scale?

  I'm by no means a ballet fan (would rather go to the dentist, actually) but the movie "Mao's Last Dancer" is worth watching. Based on a true story it among other things provides brilliant insights into how people are brainwashed to think in terms of their own spheres of reality.

  This one I thought was cute, too. It's entitled "How was your cereal this morning?"

  "Marjoe." It is an exposé on the evangelical movement in the US that won the Oscar for best documentary in 1972.

  Another is "Jonestown: The Life and Death of People's Temple." This one goes to understanding cult mentality, documentary produced in 2006.

  God as Imaginary Friend

  by Lion Cask in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it has been postulated that belief in god is very much the same as a common childish belief in an imaginary friend.

  richard dawkins devoted a few pages to the theme in his book, the god delusion.

  his basic premise is that the gods worshipped by humankind, all 1600 or so of them, evolved from imagination to fill a gap in the psyche which leaving empty is just too frightening.

  The Truth Will Set You Free ? NOT !

  by Hairyhegoat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have to post this but remember the book study went a long time ago.

  it's still good comments though.. .

  after all, they are free from the false religions of christendom they are told, free from holidays of all types, free from their non-jw relatives, free from anything and everything that does not involve working for the watchtower society!
