At the cost of all non-Jehovah's Witness being murdered by God? No.

Not murdered! God isn't like that! He wouldn't murder his creations! Life is precious to Jehovah. WE are precious to him! He will just do away with them. Not murder, just do away with!

Hey jihuugegi, where do you live? You can go to the placed called Kingdom Hall of Jehovahs Witnesses where you live.

*cough*euphemism*cough* do away with, murder, not much difference really in the context we are talking about.

no religion is better than any other they are all just different paths and as such are suited to different people. I wish people would stop trying to convert other people. Religion is specific to each person and as such they should be left alone to choose their religion.

do away with them

Please excuse my poor English, but what to you mean by that? They'll be send to a different place than JW's?

By do away with he just means smashed to bits.

CAN PEOPLE PLEASE STOP BEING SO SELF RIGHTEOUSS AND ACCEPT OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS!!!!stop telling me I will regret this day, I don't apprieciate being told what my beliefs should be.

Hero: Please try and be objective, you cannot prove that what you think is true. You may strongly believe what you do, but please try and be and less condeming of others beliefs.

I have a question...what exactly do JW's believe?

I won't divulge anymore info. Look into it yourself.

Aw come on...just a brief summary? :D

People have believed in Deities because looking around themselves they can see the beauty of the world and want to celebrate it, and they believe that something so beautiful cannot be created by anything other than a designer. Well that is why I believe in Deities. There are actually many reasons why people might.

1. Personal Revelation-a person experiences something (e.g. a miracle) that makes them believe in God.

2. Upbringing-they were brought up being told that God exists.

3. Millions of other people believe in religion, so there must be truth in it.

4. Holy texts- must be some truth behind them (i don't believe there is).

5. Design theory (e.g. Paley's watch, newton's thumb)- World is so intricate must have been designer.

6. First cause/cosmological argument- trace events all the way back, what was before anything else--->Deity.

Sorry for the crap wording for that first paragraph, I might rewrite it later....

Well I will always think that is why religion was created, to answer unknown problems. People needed to blame someone for their bad crops, why not a deity? I was raised Catholic for a good part of my life. I'm an atheist now, I'm done with all that religious nonsense. In my opinion, you're damned if you do and you're damned uf you dont.

As for millions of people believeing in religion, so there must be some truth in it. I'm reminded of 1930-1940s Nazi Germany, millions of white 'aryan' people thought they were better than everyone else. Were they right? No. In the words of Vladimir Lenin: "A lie told often enough becomes the truth".

Some holy texts do have som truth behind them, in the form of historical events. As in the Bible and the siege of Jerusalem by the Assyrians. The Bible, to me, is a fictional story about common sense.

As for design theories and such, the world is all just a coincidence. We all evolved, in some way or another from single-cell organisms billions of years ago when the earth was cooling. I do not, nor will not believe the earth and its species have some sort of 'designer'. The world is too intricate and detailed to have a designer.

This is my opinion, I'm not forcing you to accept as your own. You may think in other ways that I do not, but they will not change my stance on religion and all its facets.
