It seems that this great nation is slowly following the same paths as other great civilizations of the past. Advanced technology and intellect; prosperous and growing; then becoming exceedingly liberal to the point of moral decay and internal strife making them easy targets for other nations. What do you think?

isn't "End of the world" in the Bible? maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought JWs believe in the "truth" of the Bible, so how can there be "Paradise Earth" if there will be the "End of the World"?

and by the way, is there a "Paradise Earth" mentioned in the Bible?

Are we prepared for the Supreme Soul to manifest itself on earth amongst us, as an avataar/prophet yet again so as to guide us to yet another higher level of spirituality? Are we prepared as humans, spiritually to know the importance of God itself being amongst us as a manifestation??

I do not hate Barack Obama because he is black or anything(I don't hate him at all). I just think that having a black president would be horrible for our society. I mean you see all the looting and rioting that happens when the Lakers win a big game or there is a natural disaster. I can't imagine what would happen if we had a black president(or part black).

Jesus said; that the world will come to despise you, or his followers; maybe this prophecy has become self fulfilling? Preaching against sin, while living in sin could be understood as hypocrisy to one who believes this authority does not come from God. Telling others that they are sinful according to God, when they don't think they are... while may seem the only way to spread “the word” does comes off as judgmental.

In sincerity; Jesus said to tell the world about him; but that was 2,000 years ago right; at least in America, and other modernized countries, perhaps this goal has been accomplished?

This is not meant to provoke anyone; I would just like to know your thoughts?

Christians look bad deliberately? I mean could they be people who hate Christians, so they claim to be one, to create a bad image of Christians? Is it possible?

I've seen many people who have racist or discriminant parents or relatives yet they themselves were able to break out of it. They were once racists as well due to the influence gained by adults. I think we all got some racism in us even if we aren't being racist right now, we can always become one anytime due to some reason.

Due to my parent's influence, I never thought of a interracial relationship but now I am up for it and support it with anyone. Such as if I see couples of any race combination, I smile. I dislike how I thought back then, for me it was thinking out of the box that helped me. What made you break free from extreme racist influence?

Thanks for reading.

All the scientific evidence points towards Christianity being the one true religion. There is NO excuse for not being a Christian. If you are a good person, but happen to believe in the wrong version of God, you deserve to burn for all eternity.

God loves you and doesn't want you to go to Hell, but if you REFUSE to belive in the correct VERSION of God with NO scientific evidence, God is FORCED to allow you to go to Hell for all eternity. When God created you, He knew for A FACT you would die without being a Christian even though you were a good person and thus burn in HELL for all eternity, yet he chose to create you anyways.

It may appear that it is better to never have existed than to be created and be tortured FOREVER with NO END EVER IN SIGHT, but God loves you and even though he knows you won't convert to Christianity, he HAS TO create you because of free will.

Do you agree?

Okay, so at work, my coworkers have decided that we're going to do Secret Santas with a twist. Everyone who wants to be involved picks out a gift that would be good for ANYBODY. All boxes must be the same so no one knows who brought what. No drawing names. Apparently, last year someone forgot to bring a gift, so someone didn't get a gift....so this year, the boss decided to bring random gifts so everyone who brings a gift leaves with a gift.

So....what is a good gift around $10 that is work appropriate for male OR female, ages 16-45? That's so hard! It can be funny or serious, but no gift cards and nothing inappropriate for minors (like lottery tickets or sex/drinking stuff). If it helps, my coworkers tastes range from goth, to skater, to preppy to boring....LOL Also, no clothing b/c my coworkers range from teeny tiny to extra large.

...or do they just reverse every argument against them and present it as being original?

The latest I've seen is something about atheism being created by man. There are plenty of others like saying it takes faith to believe in scientific study blah blah.

For the atheists: what is your favorite plagiarized argument like this?

I've noticed a lot of people who don't agree with the theory of evolution (and a number who do) don't seem to have a basic grasp of what biological evolution actually is.

In a few sentences, can you summarize the essential basic ideas behind the theory of evolution?
