Society & Culture - 7 June 2006

I don't know who I am anymore. And the disease is affecting my mind, not just my body. I have a lot of years to live before I die, and I'm kind of floundering right now. Any ideas? I have no artistic talent, I'm a loner, I have tried but cannot write decent poetry, etc. Anything physical is no longer an option (unfortunately). I feel like I'm just taking up space, breathing in and out and waiting to die. Any suggestions?

Picture this: A man volunteers to help orphans on his off-days from work where he just found the cure for cancer last week. He saved a baby from a burning building on the way home from his work and then went home to his wife whom he honors and is faithful to even in thought. At dinner, he chokes on his food and dies.

Will this man go to heaven?

Does the fact that he is an atheist change your opinion?
(Interested to see answers for this one)

So why do you all think there’s no God?...really i just cant understand it??? it cant be because of "smarts". to say you know there is no God is to say you know everything there is to know, right? if not, then wouldn’t you have to accept the possibility that God exists in the part of knowledge you don’t know? if you know 99% of every thing there is to know in the universe... couldn’t God exist in the 1% you don’t have/know?

i could go on about what i think the reasons are...but i wanna hear what you say...yeah you could go on about big bang, evolution, fossils.... but in the end...how do you know there is no God? and none of this "how do you know there is a God"...it dont matter how i know...cause you’re not gonna believe it...i know it, you know it...so lets get that outta the way.

i wanna know how you know for a fact there isn’t.

convince me that im stupid and that im wrong... afterall im still human...if im wrong... i wanna know

Forgive God perhaps. Or wish someone DIDN"T go to hell-not try to encourage evil afterall?

Im getting a little tired of a the amount of religious people (and other homophobes) who come in here to tell us that what we are doing is against god's will etc etc etc...

but what i do find rather humerous is the amount of people who are in here bashing the gay AND straight people asking and answering these questions.

A few words in a sentance is not going to 'save' us or stop us from living our lives, so why bother? yes, i understand that many religions do not agree with homosexuality, so what, get over it? i havnt done anything to harm you so why judge me on a belief that you were taught (so therefore is somebody elses?)

I'm going to prom and I was wondering if those vests things are only supposed to go with tuxedos or if it's ok to wear them with regular suits.

I keep seeing this sequence of numbers everywhere lately. On the clock, on license plates, ...everywhere. My friends are starting to think im doing it on purpose. Could it be a message from God, and what could it mean?

When a plane is in trouble, the pilot says, "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday". (at least on TV).
Does anyone know where it comes from?

If you were recently seperated, and your sibling is full on palsey-walsey friends with a hot, single, famous celebrity, and you had the oppourtunity to meet "them", would you agree, or would you decline because of the seperation?

When I first heard about Islam, I tried very hard to become a Muslim, but it didn't work out for me. I felt very disappointed & sought out Catholicism. But, I always remained drawn to Islam. Christianity also left me feeling incomplete, I eventually found my path in what we know as "Paganism."
I celebrate God through good acts towards ALL His creatures. I light candles, meditate, pray, & give thanks for all His gifts. Everyday I discover something new & everyday my love & faith for God grows. I believe I worship the same God everyone else does, only in a different way.
Now, after that description, I wonder, how am I viewed by Muslims, Christians, Jews, etc.? I have many friends of different religions, & I love studying different beliefs, but none ever want to discuss the topic with me. I'm curious, do they see me as some satanic idolater?
I would love to know how other people view me & my lifestyle, knowledge is the only way to grow.
Thanks in advance & Peace Be With You.

Why do (local) people always name a long list of names off, once they find out what town or neighborhood you live in? That annoys this S**t out of me. Why do they care if you know who those people are?

Example Conversation:

Them: So do you live here in N**t*m?
Me: No, I live in A*p*.
Them: Ohhh.. Do you know ***** *******?
Me: No, I don't know them, sorry.
Them: Well do you know *** *******?
Me: No.
Them: Okay. What about ******* *********? He lives there.
Me: No, don't know him either.
(And the conversation goes on and on...)

Seriously, I don't understand exactly how gay marriages affect mine and my husband's heterosexual marriage. What does that have to do with "the sanctity of a union between a man and a woman"? I don't give a flip if they wanna get hitched!

I understand the Fall of Man and the Curse, and how Adam and Eve brought sin into the world. But why didn't God stop them? Why didn't He stop Satan from rebeling to begin with? Why is choice necessary? Couldn't He just've made us all without the capacity for evil?
