I would encourage the Jehovah Witnesses to join their local Blood Bank.

Absolutely nothing...

Hi Lon,

Good point.

We have just had a young mum die of childbirth in this country because her family of "J.W." would not allow her a blood tranfusion. Is this o.k. in this day & age??

I think not.

Would any of you change your morals or values (whatever you choose to call it) -your personal code?

I would not change anything.

If i found out for a fact there was no God, first i would be completely devastated because my faith has always been a huge part of my life!

but i don't think my morality would change at all, i think i'm a good person and i believe i would still be a good person even without the religious influence!

I couldn't know, and can't even put myself in pretend mode because I know there IS a God.

I think the values I've learned and believed came from God would still hold up as the best thing to do so not much would change.

yeah i'm like you, i can't explain it or know how to prove it to anyone else, but in my heart i know there is a God!

Nothing.

I can't begin to answer this until I consider what this world might be like if there was no God.

The Biblical stories of Soddom and Gomorra (sp?) kind of come to mind................... If there was no God, would we all be like that? What would matter besides food, shelter and pleasure? Would family bonds and love exist since we would not have been 'made in that image'?

What an empty life this would be and I use the the term life very loosely here. This would be just plain existance which most, I think, would consider a complete waste.

I guess what I would do different is buy huge quanities of stock in antidepressants so I could make my life mentally and materially comfortable until the end.......................

I wouldn't do anything different... Well, baybe ask the church for all those donations back, but I doubt they would give it to e.

Oh, then become a Buddhist
