( Hmm I think the grown up discussion has

>cant find them all.) Its been interesting anyway.

Listen, I'm not the one who believes in imaginary super-friends. I stopped believing in those at around the age of five. Do they teach you to call people childish when they don't agree with you in JW school, or is this Jesus's influence? (You certainly aren't setting an example that I'd care to be a part of)

Here's a rather well known quote: "All of us are atheists to most of the gods that have ever existed, some just go one god further."

Yeah. I have.

The koran is another meaningless story book to me. Muslims certainly regard it highly as concerns all the stuff you seem to be asking.

As far as being relevant to the world today, I hasten to remind you that 9/11 was a direct result of the koran, allbeit some radical interpretation of it. Once again, religion has produced zealots that are eager to kill for God. Maybe they simply emulate their bloody god role models.

True..
>but they are ones who are not resolute. I'm not
>>undecided on this issue. I dont agree.

One might say you've put in so much effort into your beliefs that to see the issue any other way would cause you great discomfort.

I live by the

>forward with regard to commandments given by God.

Kinda assumes god wrote it doesn't it?

They believe
>in a God do they not?

They believe in something they call god.
