In the last past few days Ihave been just surfing Yahoo Q&A's and noticed that biggott's have been posting alot of racial Q's and I also have noticed some of the answers are just as bad. But amazingly they get thumbs up by others.
This puzzles me Am I the only one who noticed? This must mean that we have a lot of wolves in sheep clothing around. What do you think?

Antitheism (sometimes anti-theism) is a direct opposition to theism. The word has had a range of applications; in secular contexts, it typically refers to direct opposition to belief in any deity, while in theistic ones, it sometimes refers to opposition to an actual god or gods. It is not to be confused with atheism. Atheism is the disbelief in one or more gods, whereas antitheism is against theistic beliefs.

We seem to pay taxes for everything. Income tax, national insurance, VAT, local community tax, road tax, utility bills, tv license. It seems we just work to pay tax. Any other countries got more tax demands than us?

My three-year-old (38 months) wanted to try my lipstick and I proceeded to tell him that only girls wear lipstick. He then went on to say, "But I'm a girl," a comment I've heard him make once before in a similar situation. So I then tried to persuade him that he was a boy like Daddy and Mommy was a girl that's why I get to use lipstick. He then insisted that he was like Mommy and not Daddy. This may be a premature reaction but he has previously shown interest in my clothing and shoes and likes "pretty things." He still plays with "boys things" and no one or nothing compares to Bob the Builder and Scoop. But I need some second opinions.

Thanks.

People that believe in miracles and goodness is something that some people want to experience, but for many people these are impossible to accept because they cannot be confirmed with absolute certainty and require blind faith because of the dualism of the human being. To those with faith life O’Connor’s the difference between right and wrong is defined for them by the rules and tradition of their religion. To people without religions beliefs, right and wrong must be determined individually from life experience and influence of culture and society.
There are many sources for moral direction between Flannery's interpretation of the story and the convicted interpretation that Elizabeth Piedmont-Maton presents. Connor characters tend to express some degree of confusion and ambivalence toward the south the grand mother in A Good man is hard to find is good example. it is also regarded as one of the Connor’s best stories critical reception. Connor herself advocates the use of terror to shock spiritually complacent readers: to the hard of hearing you shout and for the almost blind you raw large and starling figures" and Stephen brandy talks about grand mother as being a hypocritical old soul.
Piedmont-Marton discusses that O’Connor expresses the dualism of human being in all its universality by presenting the spiritual heritage and antique of the south and the strong Catholic faith are reflected in the dark humor, grotesque characters and situations, religious themes of her woks. Connor painted our society where at the beginning of the story was ready to eternity and the ends she would scheme to survive like pre-conventional the grand mother would be a good woman if it had been some one there to be a menace in everyday life. It might be one way Flannery O’Connor felt about most of us alive, or another she thought God feels about us. For the non-Christian, the grandmother's character might be interpreted or have another phase.
Stephen Bandy, when analyzing the grandma as being a hypocritically lady who exhibits poor moral quality In the scene O’Connor is describing to the readers that the grand ma is common soul with good and bad qualities, who though flawed with selfishness and tendency to criticize other's traits she would forgive herself and does in the end recognize her flaws and make a real gesture and grace at the moment of death.
The grandmother behavior is the real meaning of the story in fact it is the misfit who should have been analyzed for lacking values common to human life. It seems for O’Connor the grand ma is living in a different world than her family and ignores what the bible says about loving a good first and then your neighbors. the grand ma organizes and prepares herself for the trip, and does the same for own death as she mentions in the story: her collars and cuff were written organdy trimmed with lace and at her neckline she had not pinned a purple spray of cloth violets containing a sachet in case of an accident, anyone who seeing her dead on the highway would know at once that she was a lady. (O’Connor 310)
All of these actions are not Christian characteristic instead they evil, for example when she gets dressed up for a car trip so that, on the off chance and at they would be in car wreck and that in that wreck she would be thrown from the car laying on the pavement, this figure represents a complexity as a human being after death. It also focuses a great deal on what others think about her. The grandmother is very selfish in her endeavors. for example instead of caring about what is the best for her family, she pretends or prefers to go to Tennessee because she has friends there whom she would like to visit and then she said , if I were you little boy I wouldn't talk about my native state that way. Tennessee has mountains and Georgia has hills (310)
In my opinion the divers of the story in god man is hard to find is an exceptional short story with the tension of provoking religious content. Connor seems to portray a feeling that society as she saw it was drastically changing for the worse. She is obvious displeased with society at the time most likely a result of her religion and her very conservative upbringing to her generation. Today some of us act like the grandmother just to be dominant.
