Why does God permit suffering? Don't let others answer this question for you
by sabastious inwasn't the answer to this question wrapped up in a neat little package when you were young?
it was easily explainable and it made you feel so warm inside that you knew that god felt passionately bad about the suffering and that it was going to stop.. there is so much pain in this world.
people are starving, people are being torchered by others who have lost their minds, there is endless suffering on this planet.

Mr. Falcon is going GALT!
by Mr. Falcon inraypublisher started this thread: http://www1.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/207626/1/best-way-to-step-down-from-being-a-servant.
it got me thinking, for some wacky reason, of perhaps how i could go about getting relieved of my "privileges".
in the ridicously long-winded novel atlas shrugged by ayn rand, there is a character named john galt.

Reasons for disbelief: The top ten reasons I am an atheist
by whereami inmany people ask why someone like me, who came from a christian home, went to a christian high school and then went on to spend five years in seminary and become a pastor, a missionary, and an evangelist, would turn his back on the god he spent a lifetime worshiping and serving and give up all faith in the supernatural.
the answer is very simple, and im about to give it.
first, however, let me tell you what the reason is not.. most people, upon hearing my story, all unanimously decide regardless of their own spiritual beliefs or religious affiliations that i must be mad at god.

Why I no longer believe the Bible is "God's Word" and I no longer believe in "God"
by lifeisgood ini became a christain at the age of 9. not by going to a church or asking a preacher to baptize me, or anything like that.
i started reading my mother's king james bible cover to cover at the age of 8. my father was very abusive and when he was abusing me, i would close my eyes and pray.
i never hated my father, which is one good thing i got out of prayer.. when i turned 13 i became a lay preacher and traveled, on my own, preaching in any church that would let me.. when i was 15 i studied with the jws and was baptized after four months of study.. i was a zealous christain but not a zealous jw, according to them.

About hell and dying GB members
by Mad Sweeney inon bio channel the other night was an episode of "i survived" where a guy was shot in the head and was dead for about five minutes, then in a coma for around four weeks after being revived.
while recounting his story, he talks about being literally in hell, chained within a tiny dark cell oppressed by evil all around for what felt like forever.
he attributes his visit there to having a selfish, materialistic lifestyle at the time of his death and he has vowed to turn his life around so that when he dies again, he won't have to return there.
