Society & Culture - 31 July 2006

They seller offered the book, and then, about when I was looking for the book to arrive, refunded the entire purchase price. It was a pretty good price on a used book, so I was initially quite miffed.

In the end, I bought the same book from a different Amazon.com marketplace seller, for about 25 cents less. So, it all works out in the end slightly to my benefit, although my book was delayed.

I feel some compassion for the seller, as they can't ship a book they don't have, and it could have been damaged beyond the description, or lost. But, I was also initially very unhappy, and my only communication was the Amazon notification of a refund. What's the appropriate rating? I want to be fair (and reasonable), but also be truthful in my evaluation.

Ratings can be:
5 (Excellent)
4 (Good)
3 (Fair)
2 (Poor)
1 (Awful)
with a field for comments too.

Thanks!

Like the pyramids, stone henge, the crop circles, extra-terrestrial life, and ways to connect to other spiritual planes? I would imagine that it would be a huge responsibility to know such things. I could also imagine it would be dangerous if people knew and werent responsible. I know the watered down version the masses get isn't 100% true and I think people are holding some things back. There are so many subtle and outright obvious messages in the media also. Where do I go next?.If in order to know these things it seems I have to imagine how the world operates with them being true(with the implications I have). If I was ready to understand these things and even if I had to take it in a piece at a time to understand the wisdom that correlates with this knowledge, what is the next step. I only want to understand and eliminate my unknowns. It is a curiosity thing and I also want to really contribute. Read some of my previous questions also.

People use the word love to loosely. I mean, what do you love? Do you think that you can love an object, time spent doing something, a person, a feeling...? I believe that we need to really think about what love is and if we really love everything that we think we do. What is it that you love? Do you put God first in your love life or does He come only when you have some room left over after everything else. Think long and hard before answering this question....What do you love?

Because of incidents in my past I’m terrified my parishioners might find out I’m attracted to young boys. This was all a long time ago and I now just want to put this behind me.

I reckon he is BRILLIANT...

...especially cos I am catholic and can go and shoot people and badgers, and do cruel things to fish and then just go to confessional and be ABSOLVED off all my nastiness.

What are the best things you have been absolved of?

I'm not from here, I came here to work. Any question regarding the Middle East seems to be met with the opinon that somehow the Middle East is a backward, hateful, God forsaken place that is very hot and full of oppression.

It isn't.

I have found the Arabs I've met to generally be some of the better educated, more open minded, generous and genuinely pleasant individuals I've met.

The women are covered, in different degrees, but then they aren't oppressed by this any more than women in the west are objectified and oppressed by the proliferation of porn and societal norms.

The city I live in is extremely wealthy, extremely advanced, one of the safest in the world, with nearly zero crime, no litter and excellent services.

So what's the deal? If you're so convinced that the ME is backward, why not travel a few miles from Boise and see for yourself?

Do they pray to God? What sets it apart from other religions?
Please do not give me your OPINION on this faith. I'm not asking for this. I just want the facts.

This is simply untrue - atheists do NOT think that they are perfect. Like everyone else, atheists try to do the right thing, yet know that they sometimes fail; so being an atheist has nothing to do with refusing to acknowledge that we do make mistakes and do choose the wrong thing at times. Atheists just don't call their mistakes or failings sins...

In the world there are more women than men. Like in America alone there are more than 8 million more women than men. In Uk there are 1.8 million more women than men. In Australia there are more than 300 thousand more women than men. (Source http://www.overpopulation.com/faq/basic_information/sex_ratio/). So if every man got married to a woman there would still be 1.8 million women in America without a husband, in Uk 1.8 million, in Australia 300 thousand. What are these women to do? There's 3 things they can do: 1) Abstain from sex whole life - which is not practical. 2) Become public properties - which is not good (your sister could be one of them). 3) Share a husband. Islam says she should share a husband with another woman. What does Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism etc have to say about this ?

I am seeking purely the origins of your choice to be "God Fearing" or your choice to be "Atheist or Agnostic". If you believe in God, what definitive reason motivates this? If you do not believe in God, what definitive reason motivates this?

Do not copy and past a bunch of scriptures, I have read the Bible several times, I know what it has to say. I am not interested in that. I want to know what made YOU decide.
