1. You already KNOW every choice I will ever make, but you create me with free will to allow me to embrace you even though you KNOW I will choose not to. So you create me anyway, just so I can live out my atheist life and end up in hell. (seems a bit cruel, but whatever.)

2. You are saddened/disappointed by my rejection of you, even though again, you knew I would reject you from the second you made me. So you created me to intentionally make yourself sad. (seems somewhat bizarre, masochistic and imperfect, but whatever.)

3. You create me as an atheist because it's all part of your "great plan." Maybe you know my atheism will serve as an example to sway other non-believer towards you, or maybe I will do great deeds for mankind in spite of rejecting you (like atheists Bill Gates & Warren Buffett) despite burning in hell after I die. So I'm actually just a tool or a pawn for your use (which seems sort of sad and pathetic for the greatest intelligence that exists.)

Thoughts?

Amos chapter 3 vers 7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, abut he revealeth his csecret unto his servants the prophets.
So if there are no prophets on the earth to day, no leaders, like moses, noah , abraham, there is no revalation, if ther is no revalation we are lost children and god real doesn'y care

if god turns out to be the cruel and rather sadistic god of the old testament...one should love him anyway?
the love relationship with god is quid pro quo: i love you for what you give me, will give me or one is forced to love god because he is god???

Some people argue that in the bible God has killed more people than the devil.

Considering that in the first 5 chapters of the bible, anyone can see that the devil is the one who caused all the human deaths in the bible, wouldn't you agree that people who think this are shallow?

Example:

A tree outside gives aids to people who eat from it. I tell a kid not to eat from the tree, or he will die from aids for lacking common sense. A stranger tells him the fruit is great, and the kid eats from it. He then has billions of children, and all of his children begin to die because of aids.

Is it my fault the kid is stupid? Or is it the stranger who tricked him that should be blamed for the kid eating from the tree?

So assume that God killed 10 million people (who probably deserved it anyway), satan has killed millions more.

Yep why did he appear thousands of years ago and not now...
the world is in deeper trouble now than it was back then.
Maybe If that god that appeared then were to appear now we would shout aliens...
We had moses who was suffering from heaven knows what kind of mental illness.
Could you imagine a god telling a man to take other people into the wilderness for years.I doubt it very much,,,it was moses idea from the start.
Then producing ten commandments that took longer than making the universe...yea right.
Then we have isiah who had a vision about beings comming down a ladder..(need I say what that could be..uummm.).
Then we have the virgin mary who had jesus..
How could she have been when jesus had an older brother called james.....
any clues to what really happened back then...anyone...?

In the past I have worn some good costumes to work on Halloween: Beetlejuice, clown, dad's 1950's army uniform, a dress. What are some unique costume ideas for this year?
Thanks.

I just noticed that I had two minor errors on a thank you letter I just sent out for a business school interview. I used the word "regards" where it should have been "regard" and put a common in the sentence "Thank you, I look forward to speaking with you in the future." where there should have been a period after you. How noticeable will these errors be and what kind of impact can they have? The rest of the letter was very well written. I actually gave it to an attorney at my firm and he didn't notice the errors. My interview didn't go as well as I had hoped so this letter was my chance to redeem myself. I think it was a good letter, but small things like that can be seen as sloppiness. To be honest, my grammar can use some work and these are issues that I would have not noticed, unless someone told me after the fact, which is what happened.

Atheists: Do you attach the meaning: christian when you see the word: believer?

Thus you think all believers are christian?

***
Believers: do you attach negative meanings to the word: atheist? Meanings like: immoral? infidel? etc?
****

Both: Are you doing anything to stop this habit of yours??

it seems like i'm being racially profiled by the kingdom hall in my area. either that or they are just not doing well as a congregation. i have put in (online) for a study a few times in the past couple months and done everything short of going to the hall and looking for someone myself. satan must really be trying to thwart this. i would think a congregation would jump all over this bible study since my husband and i are both interested. stupid witness comments are unwelcome and will be deleted so don't even bother.
