Society & Culture - 13 July 2006

I do not have a television, so I am not as connected as others. Yet I have noticed increasing trends towards disposabiltiy in so many areas of life- packaging, mass-produced toys and gadgets, even advice (if something is not working for you, just get rid of it and find another one). This applies to pets, lovers, careers, vehicles, friends, employees, homes, etc. I agree that sometimes a good fit just is not possible, and that people and situations grow apart. But this trend distrubs me. Rarely do you hear advice that says, "put some thought into it and see what can be salvaged". It seems like true appreciation of an imperfect but well-worn object or situation or person is not valued. Am I the only one who sees things this way, and is disturbed by it? Where does love fit into this model?

Every time one of those preaching idiots knock at my door I abuse them. Why should I be polite to those that choose to invade my personal space and tell me how bad I am for not believing in Fairytales? Who the hell are they to go around trying to convert people under the guise of 'shareing' the word of what ever bollocks they believe in?

Mine would be:"Why does he let little children suffer? Since he is God and created the entire universe, he could do anything that was needed to protect them?"(from disease, molesters, murderers,etc)

I'm curious, because I still love to go to concerts and dance and have a beer and other things I used to like to do when I was a 20-something. I don't mean that I show up at fraternity parties and get wasted...I just like to get out to the local watering hole and have fun from time to time. When you see people like me, do you say "hey, cool....I hope I'm still spunky when I'm in my 40's" or do you think "gosh....how pitiful ! She should just act her age!"

I'm 21 and single and it seems like when I talk to my peers about feeling lonely they tell me to get in the Word because it will truly satifsfy you. How can reading a book satisfy my phyisical desires? I mean the Bible can't hold me physically and let me know that everything will be alright. I'm a physical person and I need physical attention.

Why does religion stagnate in the beliefs of recent history, whilst human nature is to question and challenge 'truth', in order to understand the 'real' truth.

What are religious fanatics so afraid of?...That their long-held beliefs will one-day be disproven, whilst open-minded people fear nothing from greater knowledge?

Romans 1:24 God's wrath against mankind
(going from 1:24 because I cant fit it all in)
Therefore god gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. HTey exchanged the truth of god for a lie, and worshipped and served created things rather then the creator-who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, god game them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwile to retain the knowledge of God, he have them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. they have become filled with every kind of wickedness, eveil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, decet
