Society & Culture - 2 July 2006

My parents are Roman Catholic. My mother keeps pestering me about getting confirmed and is thinking of having everything arranged and talking to a priest about it soon. I don't really see myself as a Catholic. I'm just fifteen, and don't think I'm ready to box myself into these beliefs. I see it as unfair for her to try to force them onto me. I've told her that I don't want to be confirmed, but she acts like I haven't said a word and when I tell my siblings about it (they're ten years older than me), they tell me to treat it as a tradition. Should I really just give in to this, when I completely disagree with it?

Is there a such thing as an Indigenous (Native Indian) Spanish Accent.?

I know that places like Mexico, Central America, Bolivia etc. have many indigenous people. I'm curious as to how they've affected the style of Spanish spoken in those areas. I know that the English spoken in parts of the Carribbean have a unique sound because it has significant West African influence. The English spoken in Australia however sounds closer to British English because there were not enough non English speaking people to have a big affect on their accents. Do indigenous Guatemalans speak with an accent similar to indigenous Bolivians? Do most white Mexicans speak with indigenous accents or do they sound more like West Europeans? There aren't any English speaking countries with majority indigenous populations, so I'm having a hard time identifiying the accent.

How Can World Leaders Who Say They Follow God, Be Of God, If They Wage War And Kill?

Killing on the offence or defence of war, is still "killing."

Osama Ben Laden Hides Behind Allah.
G.W. Bush Claims To Be A Christian.
Israel Follows God of The Old Testiment.

Doesn't Scripture State: "Vengence is Mine, Sayeth The Lord?"

Would it have not been better to cordon off our land to protect us from further attacks, and impliment DIPLOMACY, instead of allowing Ideologies to drag all of us into conflict?

Should we not judge the man and NOT the entire religion the fanatic War Lords Claim? Muslims are taking a lot of heat from Christians and likewise, Christians are getting a bad name in the process.

Jews aren't any better with their conflict with the Palestinians.

Faith can move mountains ... but no one will have that type of Faith until the Arch of The Covenant is dug up and ... then they will most likely put it in front of some military unit to pursue some warring ideology!

am i the only person who thinks that religion is just a scapegoat?

people always blame the stupid things they do on G-d, like killing someone because it is His will, but no one really knows what He is thinking, even religious leaders are supposed to "interperate" what G-d is saying. It seems like know one truely sees religion for what it is: a scapegoat. Something to blame everything bad that happens on, and thank when good things happen. Why can't people give themselves credit for these things, good or bad, instead of a ghost. Maybe we are all just crazy.
