  Atheists Are More Advantaged Than The Religious Teachers!

  by exWTslave in

  1) if an atheist becomes selfish, others have no reason to be discouraged.

  but see what happens if a religious leader becomes selfish, many may copy his behavior.

  [many people know how lavishly rutherford lived even during great depression].

  Thanks FHN, I can put you into the god exists just because catagory.

  Possibly someday you might consider the implications of accepting this young

  child learned concept and do some grown up thinking on it

  Things happen.

  Able , can you quote me anything jesus said without using the words of another?

  Therefore what is happening that someone said jesus said?

  You dont need faith because you have proof?

  1 proof of what ?

  2 be sure to let those with faith know your evidence, you never know you

  could be hailed as the new messiah!!

  Fhn, do you think god is aware of you? You wrote "if god exists", does that imply doubt?

  Whatever happens in the future is no more than conjecture as it is unpredictable.

  Are you a theist? I'm not reading your understanding of the god thing.

  I am interested as part of my interest into why those who have a need to believe in supernaturalism

  come to their reasoning especially if self calculated as opposed to being born into a belief or

  inculcated from an early age.

  Any way if you dont feel like explaining anything thats cool.

  Best wishes to you.

  Hi FHN, no i dont blame god for for mankinds situations good or bad, that is squarely mans doing.

  I do not have a belief in god.

  I was intrigued by the notion of god just happening it seems an odd expression,more reminiscent

  of human understanding of gods ways ie thinking on behalf of or presuming he does things now and again.

  I agree we dont understand everything,but i personally am not trying to understand god i have no need.

  Whereas if you do believe in a deity who has the ability to intervene to prevent tragedy befalling his

  creations (which he loves so much) wouldnt you love and worship him more,after all is that not

  what he has supposedly required from his creations?

  You say your not a xian but surely the same must apply,or dont you see god as a loving creator?

  Flying, " god happens" what does that mean? If he/she/it just occurs sometimes do you not question the judgement of a god who ignores the real and serious consequences of human tragedies. Not just popping into an ex posters brain for a little talking to.

  ex, you did say "one can be a true worshipper if you have love RATHER than a belief in god " .

  In order to be a worshipper you require something to worship do you not?

  I am perplexed with your reasoning.

  Hi able....,We all agree that we exist. We all know there had to be a causal process.

  Was it supernaturally intended ?.For what reason, who do you rely on for that answer, can you trust those who proffer that answer

  By what reasoning do you accept/agree with their explanation?

  Was it not supernaturally intended? Ditto the same questions.

  Which of these two scenarios is more serious about the answers?

  You seem to deride scientific investigation be it theoretical or conclusive, why?

  The scientists do not wish you harm they are seeking evidential explanations to

  very profound questions.

  The examples you mention of monkeys, primordial soup are very vague. Do you mean

  The agreed facts of evolution from very primative conditions of biological reaction to life in the present?

  The one certainty is life in all its forms exists, if you conclude it came about by the hand of a supernatural force

  You only have faith at your disposal. Faith:..strong belief WITHOUT PROOF!!

  Best let science have a shot at it their doing an exemplary job and discovering new things all the time if you'd take the time to look.

  Can god see into the future?

  by DuvanMuvan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is something that's been bothering me for a while.. if god could see into the future, why has he allowed so many bad things to happen?

  for example in the garden of eden.

  he should have known from the beginning what would happen.if there was even the tiniest chance that they'd eat the fruit then god obviously didn't think it would be benefical to, idk, prevent it from happening?

  Hi kate, I was wondering as you believe there is a creator, do you see it as one entity, or multiple causes for our existence?

  What form would it take to have such immense power?

  Is it an energy which would require replenishment , or can it produce its own?

  Do you believe it still exists?

  Perhaps it has exhausted itself as we haven't had much evidence of it lately.

  Do you think it might be busy in another part of the cosmos?

  I think belief in such a force requires these considerations.

  Then perhaps I'm presuming you have not considered this already.

  Best wishes.

  Question to atheists: if there is no creator/god---

  by prologos in

  if you are sure there is no god, do you then believe that we,our minds, are the highest intelligence?

  not just of the universe, but the cosmos?.

  Prologos, Sacre bleu ! My assumptions of primitive mans thinking is of course based on the fact that today we have millions of people believing in this supernatural powerhouse known as god.

  This idea obviously had to have germinated by thought process. It is my and many others belief that the concept came about because of primitive mans ignorance re situations which they had no control over but had positive/negative influence on their lives.

  Making tools and progression has nothing to do with the conjuring up of a notion of a god/gods.

  Or do you think it all started with the author of genesis?

  Ex wt , are you saying an athiest, can be a true worshiper even if he does not accept there is a god

  if he/ she is capable of altruism/ showing unselfish love?

  What is he/she therefore worshipping?

  If you say it's god, you must be concluding that because the athiest has

  these qualities there must be a god.?... how bizarre!!

  Please do not presume for me. My love/emotions are given freely from

  my own reasoning... NO GOD REQUIRED !!!
