how about you challenge your friend's thinking by asking him to explain HOW his god can be 'thanked' when, let's say a young child is spared from some tragic event, like, say a tsunami, while hundreds, or perhaps…"

The other day I was having a discussion about "beliefs" and such with a long time friend and co-worker. He has always listened to me ramble on about what I believe and has never, until now,…Continue

"Thinking back on my car accident I never thought about god. Also never really realized that until reading this thread.

Emperor Milos replied to Brandon Keith's discussion 'The challenge...from a friend'"Yeah, but much more likely to happen in Afghanistan."
archaeopteryx replied to Brandon Keith's discussion 'The challenge...from a friend'"You don't have to be in Afghanistan to take that challenge Milos, sadly to say, you could be in a theater in Colorado."
Mabel replied to Brandon Keith's discussion 'The challenge...from a friend'"Yep, I've done it too. Usually in a situation of possible approaching calamity. Once the danger has passed, I always feel relieved but never have I thanked the god I prayed too or believed he exists. I know it's just something I do when I…"
Mabel replied to Brandon Keith's discussion 'The challenge...from a friend'"@ kOrsan - You crack me up! LOLOL"
Emperor Milos replied to Brandon Keith's discussion 'The challenge...from a friend'"Ask him this challenge.
You are in Afghanistan on a routine patrol. Out of nowhere, you are being fired upon. Do you dive for cover, or do you expect god to stop the bullets from killing you?"
matt.clerke replied to Brandon Keith's discussion 'The challenge...from a friend'"Classic "no atheists in foxholes" scenario. I find this line of thinking irrelevant to the truth of theism.
As an interesting side thought: what do they expect to happen to an atheist who has no religion to "revert" back to when…"
Stutz replied to Brandon Keith's discussion 'The challenge...from a friend'"I suppose I don't see how it is a challenge to anything. Let's say you revert and beg God for mercy and to take care of your family. So what? Essentially, it was said under duress, and doesn't mean you actually believe in God deep…"
kOrsan replied to Brandon Keith's discussion 'The challenge...from a friend'"We all can have these "Who were you talking to?" moments, don't worry. For example, if I have really bad diarrhea I'll sometimes just "pray" for relief of the pain that feels like I'm shitting my scrambled…"

Amy L. Cook replied to Brandon Keith's discussion 'The challenge...from a friend'"A couple of things: praying is really just self talk to begin with. When you pray, you reinforce all that you believe to be true and all that you want to become true. Thoughts are things, and a lot of people think that praying "works"…"

The electrical atheist
Posted on June 28, 2012 at 9:37pm 0 Comments 1 Like
've decided to give this blogging thing a try. It seems that sometimes I need a place, or an outlet, to either vent or just let my opinion about certain things out. First off, a little about who I am. I have been an electrician for about 15 years. An occupation which I enjoy thoroughly. The place that I work though is a good place to work as far as benefits a such but the work ethic of some of my co-workers, is much to be desired. I have worked there for a little over 3 years and like I said…
