“…say you are a baby sitter and I told you to feed,wash,and keep my baby safe….’

Without “say”:
When I was a student, I was baby sitting for money, 2 children in age of 2, for some 4-5 months.
Before I married (some 40 years ago), I was a baby sitter to my sister’s son for about 6-7 months.
I was a PEREFECT baby sitter (including changing children’s diapers, washing their asses, preparing them meals, feeding them, playng with them, singing them, walking with them…).
Then, I was baby sitting to my own daughter for much longer period (including all mentioned tasks and more).

No god told me, ever, how to baby sit, or how to do anything else.
Babies I was responsible for adored me, I adored them, none of them was ever dirty, hungry, or with broken arm, so you are just babbling to say something, and you, practically, have NO real answer why would I, or anyone, need a god.

Republicans want a society based on christian mythology. Democrats believe they can elevate the weak by tearing down the strong, taxing and spending their way to utopia. Both theories are absurd.

We need a viable third option, and quickly, or the USA is screwed.

40 year Atheist

Didn’t know there were degrees of uniqueness.

Atheism does fall under many of the available definitions of religion…

High Preist? Yes………. Who might this be?

First principles? Yes….. They are?

Purpose of Life? Yes, randomness…. Seriously?

Afterlife? Yes, worms….. if that qualifies as “life” you’re even nuttier than I thought.

The Sacrosanct? Yes……. again, that would be?

Statement of Faith? Yes, non-negotiable…. faith in what?

Heresy? Yes, definitely…. Heresy is defying church teachings… so what would qualify?

Morality? Yes, stolen from other beliefs or personal opinion…. doesn’t this fit the concept of morality for everyone?

Evil? Yes…. So acknowledging that some acts are evil and others are good make you religious?

Hor, you have indeed sunk to a new low of stupidity with this post. You position is so weak that now you have to completely fabricate points in an effort to not look totally ridiculous? It didn’t work.
oh yeah, LOL

More unique than all of yours?

“Atheism does fall under many of the available definitions of religion. The deniers pick and choose, of course. .”

As opposed to your lies about how atheism meets a set of random qualifiers that you “pick and choose, of course,” for religion.

When all else fails, stick to the conviction that theism promotes – lie.

“I’m glad to see you have come to terms with the reality.”

When can we say the same for you, if ever?

Oh, and by the way, where is your evidence for god? The REALITY is you don’t have any. That’s why you continue to lie about atheism.

I do not blame you guys for not believing in a creator.Satan has blinded the minds of the unbelievers when he came in the night and put weed on the wheat that jesus had sown.Now they grow together resembling eachother but jesus said that they should grow together then at the end all the wheed will be gathered and burned.Satan is concealing the the eyes of the whole world so that the illumination of the christ might not shine through.I only ask that you consider what one whos form of worship coincides with the bible then make your final decision.A good choice is only based on all the information and the correct information.If then you say you still dont believ then it is left to your heart condition.I will speak to you guys tomorrow!Good night.

severin you asked, “what is the point of religion?”say you are a baby sitter and I told you to feed,wash,and keep my baby safe.Then I come home you cooked for me a lovely dinner and I find you on your hands and knees scrubbing the floor.I say to you “wheres my baby?”.Then my baby comes to me hungry,crying of a broken arm, and dirty.Have you done your job?No!The point of religion is to teach those of what jehovahs will is,to teach them how we originated(because we all really desire to know),to teach us who is out there trying to harm us,how can we stay safe,will we ever be safe,who will save us,how can we be saved,what can we do,how does jehovah want to be worshiped.However false religion does not teach us this.They teach that when someone dies they go to heaven,regardless if the priest never even knew the person.They teach you that satan works for jehovah punishing bad people in hell making us believe that he is cruel.They teach us that we can pray in repitition even though jesus said on his sermon on the mount that we should not be like the pharisees and the hypocrits who pray the same things over and over again but they would only have a hearing for thier use of many words.They teach us that a priest can say seven hail marys and you are absolved when the bible says do not put trust in noble men to whom no salvation belongs.Also that you should not call anyone father(besides your dad)because your father is one and in the heavens.They teach us that when someone dies its because god willed it when the bible teaches that jehovah sent his son to deliver us from sin and death.They teach us that christmas is jesus birthday although it is not and is pagan in origin.They teach us that there is a trinity although jesus never gave a seizure namely that he is equal to god.Jesus also said that he was beside jehovah before the earth was.They teach us that we should pay for them to perform marriage or funerals or send collection plates around although the bible says that you get freely(knowledge of jehovah) you must also give freely.They teach us not to worship idols yet they have a cross and statues of saints thay pray to.They teach us the wrong way to pray many do not know that you must approach god in prayer through jesus name only (at the end of each prayer say a variation of in jesus name amen).They teach us to pray but dont inform us that if a man mistreats his wife his prayers can be hindered and that there are many things you can do to make jehovah not listen to your prayers.They teach us to worship statues but jehovah is superior because you can not find any material on earth to liken(represent)him.psalms 115: 4 Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of the hands of earthling man.
5 A mouth they have, but they cannot speak;
Eyes they have, but they cannot see;
6 Ears they have, but they cannot hear.
A nose they have, but they cannot smell.
7 Hands are theirs, but they cannot feel.
Feet are theirs, but they cannot walk;
They utter no sound with their throat.
8 Those making them will become just like them,
All those who are trusting in them.
9 O Israel, trust in Jehovah;
He is their help and their shield.
They teach us that you can pick and choose beliefs and conform the bible to what you want and justify horror.So many things.I feel its only fair to first allow one to learn what the bible really teaches before they can dismiss it as untrue.As we previously said there is a large difference from reading and studying the bible

Well first I never meant 1657 bc, I said 1657 bce that MOSES finished writing genesis.However obviously people exsisted far long before moses.So when I mentioned this in reference to murder I was pointing out the fact that when cain killed abel, jehovah told them not to kill cain or they would suffer seven times worse and he also warned cain about the way he was thinking and acting towards his brother before hand.Thus since you can not say when exactly did cain exsist, but we know they were one of the first children it is very safe to imply that the aborigines and everyone else only knew they shouldnt murder from this situation.Also severin said”For your information, universe was formed from an enormeously big black hole some 13.7 billion years ago.”So what created the black hole?I bet you saw this question coming!Oh yeah someone also mentioned Something about JW and our education level past h.s. .Well first off there are only around 7 million of us.Second you should look up what kind of work we do at bethel.This is world class training that we dedicate in jehovahs service .if we are relieved of the work the experience helps us get really good careers.Also we have building projects (everything done for jehovahs witnesses are run by jehovahs witnesses. we hire no one else, simply volunteer work)we also have work were we learn sign language and 800 different languages to travel the world and minister.So even if your estimations of jehovahs witnesses are true(I did not bother to check)we are far from uneducated.We have building,writing,typing,language skills that we learn to contribute to jehovah. many of us christians go to bethel.Also nony mouse you
said “So, carry on being rude, childish, and regurgitating the Watchtower tracts as you are doing a wonderful job of presenting yourself as yet-another brainwashed and uneducated member of a cult.”I cant believe the things you say and you call me rude .I no longer want to discuss matters with you I would appreciate it if you no longer respond to me since you insist on being so horrible in conduct!Also severin I am very happy to hear you speak in that manner of your daughter. I am sure she is very kind,however we both do know that thier are people who are from various religions or no religion at all who are really good hearted people. jehovah knows this too, he sees the situation of everyone and he knows thier heart and can search thier kidneys and will give those according to thier deeds and heart.So yes plenty of people who have genuine good hearts will enter into the kingdom.The problem is that we cannot see the heart only jehovah and his son can.So we do know that there are some things we have to learn to LOVE to do in order that we get into the kingdom. the scriptures say that faith without works is inactive also (Galatians 5:19-21) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, and they are fornication, uncleanness, loose conduct, 20 idolatry, practice of spiritism, enmities, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, contentions, divisions, sects, 21 envies, drunken bouts, revelries, and things like these. As to these things I am forewarning YOU, the same way as I did forewarn YOU, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s kingdom.
You see this is not simply about who you think is good or bad but this is about how all of mankind can coexsist happily and peacefully.Jehovah says that premarital sex is wrong because it causes pain .think about it!If you fornicate you risk disease,unwanted pregnancy,you might abort,or adopt,and that child would be hurt that thier parents gave them away,you can be heart broken. say you are a woman who loves a man that you slept with and became pregnant then the man has another one pregnant by coincidence.Then chooses to be with the other female.This would cause the woman pain as well as the child who will feel that the other family is more inportant to the father.What is a good outcome of premarital sex?You might fall in love and get married but cant you just skip sex and get married first.Now do you understand why these laws exsist.This is because he wants everyone to be happy ,this means each one of us has to be very careful of our actions.The only way to ensure that we dont go calling eachother names (because they hurt) is to eliminate those who refuse to conform.We should conform out of the greater good and love

Finally, how do I know what is moral and what is immoral?
You may trust me that I perfectly know it!

My daughter (33) had never in her life contact with any religion, she even was not baptized! Yet, she perfectly knows what is O.K. to do, and what is not.
She is a wonderfull, kind, humorous and responible young woman, liked by everyone who knows her.

How is it possible without god, Bible, Christianity, Islam, or whatever other religion?

I know (and I ams sure you know too!) a lot of people who are very good people, all their lives, without believing in any god.

I know (and I am sure you know, too!) a lot of people who declare themself Christians, but are rotten in their hearts, and lie, cheat, steal, hate, kill…
If many Christians, many Muslims, many Jews, many atheists, are wondreful people, and other Christians, other Muslims, other Jews and other atheists are very bad people, what IS is the point of religion?
What is its purpose?
