I believe the believer's present problems which exasperate mans dilemmas. Non religious people have more focus to look at solutions more objectively IE not searching for deistic/theological solutions, but concentrating on the humanistic causes .Too many atrocities are still committed in the name of whatever god!!

Talking with a nonbeliever...
by suavojr inin my search for the truth and the burning desire to become free from all forms of dogma and wishful thinking.
i have approached my first crossroads in my life, should i continue to believe in a god or not?.
currently i am leaning toward agnosticism, but all the suffering in the world, all the loss and pain in my own life makes it hard for me to simply let go of the idea and hope that at the end justice will prevail, that one day god can make it all good.. .

Why doesn't god do anything tangible now?
by punkofnice ini was always told that god did loads of stuff that was evidence of his existance.
ususally very brutal things too (b#st@rd).. jesus walked on water and raised the dead we are told.. it seems to me also that the older the story, the more exaggerated it is...y'know...talking snake......global flood.. there are those that claim god speaks to them now and they alone 'know' it.
(cuckoo!!!).

Sauv... " no one is born an atheist"......Assumes there would be a choice at birth, what a child requires.. even demands at birth , is to breath , suckle , be warm and survive if any of these are lacking is god going to intervene ?. Why did you make that statement ? what is its relevency? If the child was born into a non deist/ theist existence with no concept of god whatsoever it would grow into a person with no belief at all of such a concept, unless you believe that whatever so called god would reveal itself by way of a miracle to demand servitude!!. How likely is that?...

What allows parents to shun their children ?
by man in black inmy son, went to college and got his bachelors degree.
he started his own anmation company about two years ago, and it really has taken off.. while my wife and i were witnesses, we both received grief about allowing our son to go to college, but we stood up for him and backed his decision to attend 110%.. anyway, this past week he finally closed on a very nice, neat condiminium .. and while he is getting ready to move out on his own, i have quite a few feelings of sadness,as a parent, seeing him move on is kinda rough, but realizing that this is a very good thing for him makes it easier.
he will only be about 7 miles away.

Data D . I agree ,"No natural affection". I am currently shunned by my father he maintains his reasoning is religious?.I.e JW religious. Get this my brother who is an elder does not agree with him, my sister who is jw does not agree with him .The elders in his cong' have counselled him and told him he is wrong, because I am not seen as a "brother". But still he persists that I'm not welcome in his home to visit my elderly mother who loves when I visit .His mind is well and truly screwed and fundementaly of course it is because of his association with this crazy cult .So sad.

A young 'brother' I was friendly with many years ago became involved in wife swapping all were JWs. My own younger sister was inappropriately abused by a brother of vary good standing . A so called ' brother' from a jw family is currently in prison for murder and willful kidnapping and torture. My own sister has witnessed inappropriate behaviour between the father and daughter of this same family and reported it to the elders, she stopped attending this cong' as a result.. My freinds wifes father a JW was revealed to be a paedophile abusing his son and daughters for many years. ALL these instances involving 3 cong's within about20 mile radius.

Professional Pedophile Cover-Up Agent Will Make Governing Body! 2014
by RottenRiley inhi, recently the brother who helped cover over the sexual abuse in our kingdom hall started to parktake, when i asked why the local scandal dated back so far, all fingers pointed to this one circuit overseer (now almost on the governing body) as the man who told all the elders "hush!
hush hush!
" he recommend the police not get involved because it would put the sour grape kool-aid flavor in the publics eye.

Mr Mclean said "NOTHING! that has blood in it do we eat " He is the Jw spokesman when he said NOTHING what did he mean?. Without splitting hairs to me that means NOTHING!. If I said I will breath absolutely NO poison gas, does that mean I'll only breath a little?? I would suggest I am not belittling the JWs they do a good enough job of that themselves!!!.

Saulo..."they don't intentionally or deliberately eat blood".Is deliberately putting ANY food product in your mouth and consuming it knowing it contains whatever amount of blood not intentionally eating it , it is in my book!

Everlasting?Who's going to replenish the sun when it eventually loses its potency to keep the earth comfortable for habitation .? This question is for those who adhere to the living in paradise on earth forever ilk. Is god going to be shovelling billions of tons of physical material into it to keep it going the earth wouldn't even survive that scenario.
For those that think they are all going to be in heaven to help god/jesus to rule the earth where are you moving to once the sun and earth and solar system is no more ? Perhaps to some other planet where there are some more miserable sinners to be saved. Wake up!!! You theists / deists you are all thoroughly deceived/ deluded you can have a fulfilled loving happy life without that non....sense.My humble opinion of course..
