Religion vs Atheism! Bwahahahahahahahah

Is it just me, or did anyone else take a look at that survey and simply lose interest entirely in what the OP might have to say?

@Madjw: To clarify. This Atheist is unable to answer your survey because I do not believe in god(s), period. Science informs my non belief because no empirical evidence has so far been found for the existence of god(s)). Nor fairies or dragons for that matter which is a pity. I've always fancied having a dragon. I wold feed him annoying people, which includes JW's who knock at my door.

Belief based on faith*** I consider personal superstition, which may be simply dismissed.

***Belief in that not seen, as Jesus is reported as saying , John 20:29 "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." KJV. Jesus himself is admonishing his followers to believe on faith alone. Imo that makes such beliefs personal superstition. Have always felt very sorry for Thomas, who is implicitly criticised for demanding proof.

I doubt you really are.
Back in my days there, something like what you're doing would be likely punished in some way, potentially up to being DFed, even if only temporarily.
If your Elders know and condone what you're doing, then there have been some MASSIVE changes in JW policy in the last couple decades. Are they finally bending, afraid that their numbers will plummet?

I LOVE science; I just hate how they whisk away a Creator from their findings.
As if they are gonna chooses of the the world's many Gods!

If you love science, then the first thing you need to do is understand the scientific method.

You should read
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/scientific-method/

Furthermore, nobody has any photos of a creator.
There are more photos of UFOs, the loch Ness Monster, Big foot than any creator.

Also, you should check out Erik Von Danicken. Just like you he tries to insert aliens into every one of his findings.
What's the difference between claiming that "a god did it" and "an alien did it". Not much. You are just having difficulty in explaining a fact of nature and so, you reach for some guys with magical or technological powers.

Doubting_Thomas was my second pick for a user name if this was taken.

[T.J.]

My legal name is Thomas and I'm a doubter of many things, therefore I'm a Doubting Thomas. Funnily enough I was named after the bible characters Thomas and Paul, and my last name just happened to be Job with an E.

As for the OP I got nothing. I like fish. Is that a relevant answer?

A rather strange friend I once had showed me an 8x10,b&w glossy, somewhat blurry photo of Jesus. He took it in his back yard. Jesus was exactly as we have come to expect; a tall Anglo-looking man, with long hair and  beard. He wore the robes typical  of the way Jesus is portrayed in pictures/paintings, at least in my country.

That was in 1970. I've become a bit of a skeptic since then. Today I insist on a YouTube video at the very least. Perhaps Jesus could make a podcast  or appear on Stephen Colbert who is devout Catholic. I'm sure he'd be thrilled to meet his saviour.
