Can you answer: What is "The Truth™"?
by serenitynow! ini mean can someone, preferably an active jw, explain in 5 sentences or less what that really means?.
i ask because of the long post that "20571..." made on another thread about how "the truth" is better than this, that and the other thing.. what does it really mean?.

A few Dawkins quotes to think about.
by AK - Jeff in"faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence.
faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.".
"my last vestige of "hands off religion" respect disappeared in the smoke and choking dust of september 11th 2001, followed by the "national day of prayer," when prelates and pastors did their tremulous martin luther king impersonations and urged people of mutually incompatible faiths to hold hands, united in homage to the very force that caused the problem in the first place.".

Could Christians please respond; Is there a penalty for rejecting Jesus?
by nicolaou in.
hell is pretty much out of vogue these days so if this rabid atheist decidedly turns his back on god and/or christ what will become of me?.

Why the stunning lack of accurate, historical evidence for Jesus Christ?
by nicolaou inby no means a new topic for discussion but always worth a fresh airing .
i'd suggest that the 1st century was quite a well documented time.
we have lots of historical evidence for important people who actually existed.

Book review: Christ the Eternal Tao
by ixthis inchrist the eternal tao is a book which teaches that the precepts of taoism (which pre-dates jesus' birth) foreshadow the coming of christ, the messiah, who is jesus.
it is not a book which sets out to say that a christian can learn about "the truth" from taoism (the author would not be happy with this sort of conclusion).
what the book sets out to do is to show those who are taoists, or who dabble in eastern mysticism, that the truth they seek in these religions is more fully revealed in christianity, and in christ himself.. it is specifically a missionary tool for those westerners who had left behind mainly protestant or evangelical churches to pursue eastern religions (the author grew up in california, where such cults are popular), pointing out that the truth they seek is in jesus christ - just not perhaps the jesus christ they were taught about in their previous churches.. .

Everything In The Universe Was Created By Absolutely Nothing.
by Philadelphia Ponos inthis is the purest example of an oxymoron.
repeat this sentence over and over again and you will realize why it's impossible for some people to accept the big bang model.

How many gods are there?
by jgnat inchristianity was birthed in a polytheistic world, inheriting from jewish roots the concept of one g-d. now, instead of one god for israel, we are offered one god for the whole world.
caesar (mortal men) was declared a god.
gods had powers beyond ordinary men, could grant requests, and demanded sacrifice and worship.
