If A2E does his and you drown yourself, has A2E sinned?

Re: Darwin's Macro-Evolution: Why Unscientific?
ALTER2EGO -to- EVERYONE:
Atheists are users. They expect God to let them live, eat, sleep, keep a roof over their heads, etc. while they scoff at the evidence of God's existence in the natural world by claiming it happened as a result of evolutionary accidents and the Big Bang myth. In other words, atheists want all of the benefits of being created beings, but they have no thanksgiving, no gratitude to Jehovah. In fact, they deny his existence while they expect him to keep their sorry behinds alive.
"For his [God's] invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world's creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable;..." (Romans 1:20)
In a desperate attempt at explaining the existence of precision and complexity in the various life forms on planet earth, atheists grab hold of the evolution myth for dear life. Mind you, it's a theory that has no logic in that it fails to explain how life came from non-life. Then there is the annoying problem of gaps in the fossils record. Why are there no bones connecting one species/family of animals to an entirely different species/family of creatures?
Where did the supposed "common ancestor" come from so that the evolution of all other life forms could proceed from it? Who gave life to this "common ancestor"? That is the question that not one single atheist can answer.

Semi-grunch:
This has been a great thread! Extremely entertaining. I would like to thank all participants, but I would especially like to thank Alter2Ego - reading the above quote, I have to say I had an epiphany. A moment of clarity, a moment of satori - I came to realize what has been missing.
Seriously. No joke.
Not only will I now reject evolutionary theory, because after all, everyone admits "its only a theory," but I also reject all concepts titled with "theory," up to and including the heliocentric theory. For how can such thing be even close to a truth - good man, even scientist still call it a theory.

ALTER2EGO -to- HUSKER:
Because atheists are actually theists-in-denial. Nobody gets on Religion forums arguing against the existence of a being they don't believe in and do it with such passion, unless they are in serious denial. I've been to numerous websites and joined their Religion forums, and with very few exceptions, the majority of the participants in Religion forums are atheists. They can't stand being reminded that they need God to keep their sorry behinds alive. So they overrun the Religion forums trying to convince themselves and everybody else that there is no Jehovah.
Isn't that why you're here? Come on. Admit it ! ! !

You do realise this is actually a poker forum? I just post in this sub forum, and various other ones, when I'm looking to discuss something a little different. I like the occasional philosophical discussion and there are some really good posters in here.
I don't want or need your god to keep me alive and he doesn't appear to be doing anything about that thought. So either he's incapable or .......just not there.
Btw, if you're existence involves trolling and being banned from numerous websites, as you have admitted to, then I think you are the one with the sorry behind. Do your JW masters not allow you out into the real world or is it the case that you can let that bitter little personality of yours out when you are online but you can't in real life?

Yeah, I didn't start heavily posting in this sub-forum until sometime after black friday. I'd imagine others similarly spread their wings.
(Alter2Ego, just in case you don't know, black friday was when online poker became banned to US citizens)

No. Just no. It's amazing that you can't imagine there are people different than you out there.

Re: Darwin's Macro-Evolution: Why Unscientific?
So either all JWs are now pre-suppositional apologists (an oxy-moron itself), or A2E is a gimmick account for Sye Ten Bruggencate.

ALTER2EGO -to- HUSKER:
Of course I realize this is a poker sub-forum. Many of the other websites I participate at are not dedicated to religion. It's simply one of their sub-forums where the atheists are drawn--in their vain attempt at convincing themselves there is no Jehovah.
I was banned from atheist-dominated websites after the atheists realized they couldn't overcome my arguments and they began whining to moderators to come to their rescue. In a few instances, I was banned from "Christian"-dominated websites where the "Christians" began complaining that I was debunking their 3-prong god (Trinity) and the fictional hellfire. At some websites they banned me because they wanted members that belong exclusively to their website.
In any event, it's obvious you are here to convince yourself that you have something over believers. This is your vain attempt at convincing yourself there is no God. Isn't that right?
BTW: That part you said about YOUR "bitter little personality" was quite amusing. It gave me a nice little chuckle.

IMO, the above appears to be what the psychoanalysts call projection.

Actually, I don't expect god to do anything because he doesn't exist.
