Philosophy - September 2006

(Have put this in Philosphy because it get's more viewers than other more appropriate categories.)

I ask this question as a result of Western culture's general misconception and misinterpretation of words with the root word 'Semite' - such as the word 'Anti-Semetic'.

Do you know what group of people the Semites are?

If so tell me - what you think the word 'Anti-Semetic' literally means in light of it's root word that you have just defined.

If two people do the same deed, does their motivation really matter? Also people often talk a lot about good intentions, is it not true that the smalledst of kind deeds is better than all the good intention in the world. A lot of people talk about doing big or kind things, yet is it not the person who carries someones bag up the stairs that makes the most impact?

In the same line of thinking, why are there so many evangelists 'spreading the word' and no atheists doing the opposite? Is it because atheists are 'accepting' of other peoples' rights to live their lives as they wish - or are the atheists afraid of the repercussions? Particularly from the Muslims?

I am a 100% atheist. My parents were also atheists BUT they gave me the option. I was shown where the church was and it was suggested that I go find out what religion was all about. Note that I was not dictated to by my parents but given the choice; allowed to make up my own mind. Of course, as a small child, one is very impressionable and the tendency is that, at that age, one simply absorbs everything one is told as the undeniable truth. So, my early church attendances were, even at a tender age, used as a oeriod of analysis. As far as I remember, it may have been at the age of 12 when I began to have serious doubts about the 'truth' and it must have been at the age of 15 when I finally stepped over the line and announced to myself that I was a non-believer.
So, along with the tooth-fairy, the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus, the concept of there being a paranormal supreme being living up in the sky somewhere and observing every move and every thought that everyone in the world was ha

Some relatives will be extremely perplexing.

Your self-esteem will come back if you take part in organizational functions that allow you to be in the limelight.

Keep calm. Someone around you is bouncing off the walls.

You need a day to rest and relax with the ones you love.
