I love Hypnotized, a B-side release, btw. It totally captures the 70's for me.

If God appeared to you, you could no longer believe -- you'd know.

I disengaged from Fleetwood Mac when the bland Rumours came along. Saw them with Peter Green a few times in the old days. Magic.

Too young to have seen Green with Mac but, from what I hear recorded he knew how to caress a Les Paul, I'd say Paul Kossoff next.

B.B. King talking about Peter Green. "He has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats." I find it sad that when most people think of Fleetwood Mac they think of middle of the road LA snooze rock.

It's the chicks, particularly the skinny blonde dope head who talked to angels.

Hypnotized was their last masterpiece before they went all in on pop. I think it came out in 72. Maybe 3. But, it definitely preceded the Buckingham twins. I believe the McVies were already on board though.

Christine McVie was amazing when she was with Chicken Shack. Fleetwood Mac made a couple of good albums with the McVies and Danny Kirwan. Who can blame her for going for the money?

CM was/is a true musician. Stevie was just a pretty face to stick in front of the microphone, although her voice certainly did have enough of a haunting quality to consider her a pretty decent vocalist, even if her annunciation left a lot to be desired.

Unless god owns stock in crap companies like McDonalds and supports the defense industry to protect his investments.

Pinqy, just take a look at your thread and you'll see why practically no one took the time to give a serious answer...mocking, ridicule, derailing, and belittling is par for the course from most atheists...an intelligent/serious conversation about God cannot be had on this website...

Yeah because you've been a beacon of rational skeptical conversation...

We're going to gets what's coming

Well, if you are waiting for some miracle or for God to directly speak to you, you may be waiting awhile...we do not see God performing such miracles today because all things needed are present and available to the literate population of the world, and to help those who cannot read but who will listen, there are mature Christians who have knowledge and wisdom gained by study and experience...there is no excuse for anyone to not be able to come to know God today...it is not necessary for God to perform such miracles to attest to Jesus Christ as God’s appointed deliverer, or to provide proof that He is backing up His servants...even if God were to perform miracles or continue to give his servants the ability to perform miracles, that would not convince everyone, for not all the eyewitnesses of Jesus’ miracles were moved to accept his teachings...John 12:9-11...scoffers are warned by the Bible that there will yet be stupendous acts of God performed in the destruction of the present system of things...2 Peter 3:1-10; Revelation chapters 18, 19...by then it will be too late to act...

First off, I was not raised a JW...growing up we attended many different churches...Baptist, Church of God, Assembly of God, Pentecostal Holiness...I made my decision through my own personal study of the Bible, directly from the Bible, I learned how to identify what and how to serve God in the right way...if what you believe contradicts what the Bible says, then it is wrong...the Bible is in full harmony, there are no contradictions, when read/studied/understood in the right way...

As to identifying the one true religion, here is an article for you to read on this very subject...

If what you observe does not agree with the Bible then what you observe is wrong.

Which way? And grammar Nazi time, “criteria” is Greek, not Latin, so the singular is “criterion”


Unless you’re specifically referring to Jesus, no it’s not.


It shouldn’t be circular. I’m talking about a definition of a god, verifiable existence of a being, and whether that being fits the definition. Julius Caesar existed. Does he fit the definition of a god? If yes, then we can say a god existed.

- I'm not sure, what you mean. Gödel only showed that a subset cannot comprehend the larger whole. Wanting to know the maker of it all is thus a fools pursuit.
- you can easily find out at least the relevance of your question, if you want. Should you die and be awoken, you know. If you don't? Well, may be there is nothing anymore relevant to know.
- if you cannot know the Creator, anything depending of such knowledge is also impossible. Thus demanding it is circular to the first point.

I first saw Fleetwood Mac in a barn in Abergavenny in Wales in 1969. The support band was Jethro Tull.

Most hard-core theists are the same. I think deep down they know they've got nothing so the more that's proven to be the case, the angrier and angrier they get. It shows that theists are just overly-emotional and childish, something I think most of us already knew.

So instead of addressing anything I said, you spend an entire paragraph defending your own biblical beliefs as arbitrarily chosen by yourself then redirect me to a Jehovah's Witness website.

There is no way to prove any religion more right than any other religion, it is 100% subjective. If there were a real god expecting us to pick the right religion of hundreds, he'd give an objective indication as to which is right. If you were born literally anywhere outside of the Christian sphere of influence in the world you'd be something else entirely.

Did you at least take a look at the link I gave you? Granted, one at least has to have respect for the Bible being God's Word, but the article gives some very helpful info to those who do...
