Society & Culture - 14 July 2006

I'm trying to start a Community Service Project to better the environment and to raise awareness about its current conditions. So far I have things like: beach clean-ups, Writing the government, Visisting classrooms, writing environmentally aware children's books, and holding a local carnival to educate the community. I was wondering if anyone else had some interesting ideas.

As a christian I have had many miracles happen to me. Some are: I have said one word and made a very religious woman fall to the ground. I have spoken in touges many many times. I have had prophetic words,visions, and dreams. I am Spiritually conect to some one and have felt them filled with the holy spirt when I was in Arkansa and they were in Ohio.
What miracles have happend to u that could have only come from God?

I mean, she could have found out that she was knocked-up by some Roman dude she had a one night stand with and just made the whole thing up to cover her indiscretion, and keep from being killed for adulterous behavior. And, Joseph played along to keep her out of trouble and because he loved her and forgave her? Just a thought...

My 2 & 1/2 year old little boy has spoken of a man with a bird who chases him. He is not dreaming this and when I asked him if this man is good, he answered no. I told him to tell the man to go away and after some affirmations, the man goes away. Does anyone know of a man with a bird who bother's children. Please do not bother answering if you do not believe in the spiritual realm or are looking for a good platform to preach from. I have seen things myself, and am aware that spiritual beings surround us - I am hoping that perhaps someone might be aware of the meaning or belief behind this type of energy. Do you know of similar reports elsewhere?

a point of view, an opinion or a sick way of thinking? i've been wondering , the fact is that there is freedom of speech, but isn't racism freedom of speech as long you don't hurt people with it? here (in Belgium) if you reveal that your a racist and you speak as a racist you can be punished by the government, because the things a racist say are hurting to other people but aren't the things that religious groups or just other groups say hurting either? shouldn't that be seen as racism as well? isn't racism then just a way of speech, a way of thinking? just freedom of speech
AND I ONLY TALK ABOUT THEIR THINKING, NOT THEIR ACTS, so please don't react that racist are killers and so on, I mean the racist who just express their feelings and such things.....

Greta was an old, grandmotherly type. She was well-known for her faith and love of talking about it. She would go out on the front porch and say, "Praise the Lord!" Her next door neighbor would shout back, "There ain't no Lord!"

Greta was very poor, so the neighbor decided to prove his point by buying a large bag of groceries and placing it at her door.

The next morning, she went to the porch and on seeing the groceries, shouted, "Praise the Lord!"

The neighbor stepped out from behind a tree and said, "I brought those groceries, and there ain't no Lord."

Greta smiled and replied, "Lord, you not only sent me food but you made the devil pay for it."

Is it the same way they justify the murder of millions of innocent, rational people because they wouldn't join their cult or accept the stupidity and insanity of belief?

I am directly refering to so-called "christianity".

Could this explian why they are so insidious?

I posted it on someone elses question so I figured I might as well shre it with everyone. It's called the "Sagan Song" after Carl Sagan, one of the greatest influences of my life.

Here's the link

For the lazy or semi-interested, here's the lyrics

Are we alone or is someone watching us
Keeping an eye on our little race
Somewhere from a place called heaven or maybe from the depths of outer space
Evolution or Creation ? .. brings us only questions and speculation
Were all looking in so many places but were still all searching for the same thing

Just the facts ,,
Is that all were looking for
Do we need to find it captured in stone
Just have faith to believe ..
Believe in a higher source
Theres plenty on the menu ..youre never alone
What we know is were here
Did we win the lottery
Or is it all some special design
What would we do if god was a scientist
And came from his dimension to save our soul
Fix the DNA strands .. give us the codes
Science and the spirit go together were told
Would we go ..would we follow him?

No,no oh, no we dont know
Any more than we did a thousand years ago
With all our improvements and technology ..
Were no closer to the truth of who we might be
The insignificance of this little world
Is blinded by illusions of our grandeur
The universe we see is only a taste
If its only us it sure would be a waste

Just the facts ,,
Is that all were looking for
Do we need to find it captured in stone
Just have faith to believe ..
Believe in a higher source
Theres plenty on the menu .. youre never alone
I dont know what is the difference ..
Carl Sagan or the pontiff himself
What would we do if god was an alien..
And came down in a spaceship to save our soul ..
Fix the DNA strands .. give us the codes
Science and the spirit go together were told
Would we go ..would we follow him?

Maybe its just me. Im sick, Im on edge, and I have been awfully short with my replies today, just not in the mood. But dont you wish people would pick up a book, and read it before asking or answering stupid questions. "Our country was built on science not religion" What? Pick up a history book! Independence day, before or after the movie? Huh?

Guess Im just ranting this morning, so, for ALL of you, whats the stupidest post you've seen so far this morning, here? The one that made you think, if this person would just get educated I wouldnt have to waste my time!?

I need the laugh, sniff sniff, whine whine. Keep Smiling.

We are becoming ruder and less tolerant each day. Why have we failed have we just become evil or has the demands on us just made it so that we are less than humane or human.

There was a time when we lived in peace has greed undermined the entire planet?

As I see more and more ignorant questions, I find that I hate people more and more. Don't get me wrong, I hated most everyone any way, but this place certainly isn't helping.
