Animals

by unsure in

if humans have to suffer to have free will and to disprove satan's challenge to god as mentioned in the bible...then why the f*ck do animals have to suffer as well?

.

satan's challenge involved humans and not poor animals.. i'm looking for an honest explanation from believers.. at this point, the older i get, the less i believe in a god who is "love"..

The paranormal.

by Lost in the fog in

i know that a lot of the people on here have turned their backs on the idea of a deity deciding that god does not exist.

but what about the unseen spirit world generally such as poltergeists, jinns, voodoo, etc.

if you have become agnostic, atheist, or just don't care since leaving, do you think that there are spirits out there or have you decided that is also hokum?

Keep the thoughts coming. Fascinating stuff.

Don't many religious texts have explanations for demons?

I've never experienced anything paranormal that I haven't debunked myself but am still open to the possibility.

Have you seen this appalling new Caleb and Sophia video??

by stuckinarut2 in

this manipulative new caleb and sophia video has got me so angry!!.

the level of cultiness has just gone to a whole new level!.

https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/make-jehovah-god-happy/.

I find it ironic and hypocritical how the Watchtower speaks against any entertainment with magic or spiritistic themes yet in their very own cartoons they depict Satan waving his hands around harnessing "magic".

I guess they justify it as being a Biblical lesson but the animators sure took artistic liberty.

One aspect of the Bible I still greatly benefit from

by Ireneus in

though many things in the bible do not make sense to me, there is something in it that makes my life easy.. this is how i arrived at it.

bible defines god as the servant of his children because he makes provisions for the enjoyment of life in abundance (mathew 5:44-47) and ‘renews’ them if need arises (mathew 19:28) with no intervention whatsoever in between which means he is not interested in gratitude/worship from his children.

yet history shows that people forget him in happiness and remember him only in distress which means he is not given love (though he is the giver of love), and he is not bothered of it.

@Cofty

Well said.

When I first started posting here after leaving the JWs, I was still hungry for the belief in God. This is evidenced by some of the topics started in my posting history. Even then I acknowledged that there was no objective, verifiable proof and that it was just faith.

Intellectual honesty has further led me to agnosticism and some days atheism.

Overwhelmed

by Freedom rocks in

does anyone else feel overwhelmed on what to believe?.

i've been doing lots of research on beliefs, evolution, creationism but i feel no further forward about what i truly believe.

for example i looked at the fossil record and tiktaalic and thought great it proves a lot but then i've seen counter arguments on youtube of people basically saying its a load of rubbish and doesn't prove anything.

unsure

I understand feeling overwhelmed. Check out my post history for topics I've started that showed my confusion on what to believe.

We will never truly and objectively know the right answer.

On my good days, I just try to live in the moment.
