[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that if you don’t believe in the Christian God, it’s pointless to work yourself up about the Bible. You aren’t going to change the mind of JW’s, and they aren’t going to change your mind.

I’d just not answer the door or tell them to move on. [/quote]

I mean of course. But I spent more of my life as a Catholic than not and have spent the rest of it greatly interested in religious theory. I also spent a good amount of time in my teens arguing about Job as a believing Christian.

So just wondering about people's thoughts. I know everyone is afraid of the atheists but I'm a different cut than the usual one here.

I certainly am not going to change the JWs mind, was more just wondering if this was something less intense versions of Christianity were also using as a tool to combat this particular concern.[/quote]

How could you ever think Job was a Christian? You had CCD/Religious Ed, right? Job as a Jew is pretty much ground level Catholic religious education.[/quote]

You misunderstood my post. I said I spent a good amount of time in my teens when I was a believing and practicing Cathloic (christian) myself. Not that Job was christian.

I'm surprised that people wonder why I would wonder about these things. I have always found religion to be a fascinating and thought provoking topic. I came to the conclusion I was wrong once and I'm not so egotistical to think I might not change my mind again. But I have always, as a believer, as a questioner and as a non believer enjoyed discussing theology and religious doctrine. Despite not believing in God I am constantly thinking about the world, why were here, the meaning of it all, morality, etc.

I'm not trying to subtlety convert anyone or anything at all. I have no problem with religion. I think were all just trying to make sense of our lives and the world and seeing what feels right to us. My intentions are seriously not antagonistic or nefarious.[/quote]
