Society & Culture - 7 July 2006

most of the time when i choose to take public transportation i find myself in a situation where i walk down main streets and guys in their cars would blow their car horns and wink at me or yell "Hey beautiful!," or "Hey sexy!" some drivers would even pull over to talk to me, and some would just stop dead in traffic to get my attention! Now i don't think i deserved this kind of behavior. i certainly did not provoke it! i don't wear sluty clothes, just my pair of jeans and a t-shirt. also i noticed that it didn't matter in what neighborhood i'd be at that time it's just the same everywhere, from uppscale neighborhoods to the city. for now, what i do is just ignore them and look away, but they are getting bolder sometimes and i'm kind of becoming uncomfortable going out and taking public transportation because of this.

Alright I had a good time reading the responses from the first one. Some were good but I had the ability to counter most in my mind. Most were requiring faith which I feel there is no reason to have, I was a Christian once, my parents are Christians, and many of my best friends, but I had too many unanswerable questions (by scientific means that is). I want to apologize as I did not mean to sound like I was trying to belittle anyone with the last set. Now, ONWARD!

1. What is a spirit?

2. What proof is there to having one?

3. How does Heaven exist as a spirit world?

4. (this one pains me) How can you believe that a devout Jew or Muslim goes to hell even if they have sinned as much as a devout Christian? Obviously the Bible says except Jesus but good faithful people are good faithful people.

5. Why doesn't God keep something physically touchable on earth to prove his existence? Maybe multiple or constant sons.

More than "it's called faith" are good answers. Go to town.

Could the third antichrist be a place rather than a person? Theologians state there's only 3 possible Antichrists. Two are dead. If the 3rd one is a place, which place could it be?
North Korea, possibly, with all that been happening lately? What's your opinion?

In your opinion, is it right for women in their late 40's and up to have children? If so, list the reasons!
Personally I think it is selfish for the children, it has nothing to do with the fact that the women can't be good mothers.. But the age gap isn't reasonable...

I'm not gay, or a transvestite, but I'm curious. Help me become a woman for a day, so I can conduct an experiment to see if chivalry is dead. The results will get published hopfully as a freelance article, if not in a blog or web page.

What do I need to know? Dress, posture, speech, mannerisms, and anything else you can think of.

Thanks in advance

There is no place where anyone was baptized in the titles Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. The only place that it is even mentioned is in Matt. 28:19. This is where Jesus told the Apostles to baptize. However, either they were morons or they understood what Jesus meant. In Acts chapters 2, 8, 10, and 19 they baptized in the name of Jesus. Romans 6 even says that we are buried into his death, who was it that died for us? Doesn't it make sense that we be buried in His Name?

God will reach out to you if you honestly seek the truth about Him. But don't sit on the fence too long, because when the reaper comes, the indecisive will be scooped up right along with the wicked!

"Unbelief, in distinction from disbelief, is a confession of ignorance where honest inquiry might easily find the truth. 'Agnostic' is but the Greek for 'ignoramus.'" - Tryon Edwards

Are you ready?

Supposedly by the improvement of technology, the world should be e better and better place to live. But unfortunately, the technology is the one which brings disasater. Now everybody are indulged into temptation and lust. Everyday there are surfing porn websites, watching porn movies, mother sleeps with boss, father sleeps with secretary and daughter with classmate. Nobody is faithfull today. Jesus had told that even fantasizing another person is wrong. But why nobody bothered about this! Is jesus is just important when there is any special occasion like wedding and at other time just forget him? We should be ashamed for this!

We used to believe the Earth was flat, until we found out it wasn't. We believed the sun revolved around the Earth until we found out that it didn't. We believed that disease was caused by evil spirits until we discovered that they weren't. Why then, do we still believe the myths, fables and allegories of religious faith? Why do intelligent people not only not require proof but affirmatively reject any discussion of science or logic when it comes to matters of faith. Why will smart people insist that some almighty deity spoke words to man that were written in a book, which must be obeyed lest we burn in the fires of hell. Isn't it bizarre that people will suspend reason to accept this premise, with some even basing their entire lives around it? New Testament, Old Testament, Koran, whatever. Why are people clinging to these books after centuries of progress in thought, culture and science? I don't get it.

How can one believe heaven/hell just by going through Koran? Has anyone seen / proven life after death? To me, this is pure brain washing...unless someone proves to me that heaven and hell exist after death...similarly, what is this thing about the 'day of judgement'...if someone can convince / prove me about these things, I will convert!

I was just wondering..........

Would you lie to get your friends to stop fighting?

And yes, it is allowed by Islam to lie to create peace between two Muslims.

Is there life on other planets ?
What does the Quran say about other forms of life besides angels, jinn, man and the animals ?

Should we believe in aliens ?

I have come to form my own opinion but would be interested what other people think.

From being a believer of aliens in my younger days to be a doubtful one now, i have come to think that they may be just jinn in the form of aliens.
