Society & Culture - 1 August 2006

I have just read an article saying that fish 'n' chips, Sherlock Holmes and Monty Python have joined cricket, pubs and red double decker buses on a growing list of English national treasures.

What do you think are the British national treasures?

Does it matter if I'm a Christian, and not a Paulist?
I think the Apostle Paul got it wrong about a lot of things Jesus wanted for us, and I think the words in red are more important than the words in the epistles.

Do you think this makes me a bad person?

What if I call Paul the world's first sleazbag Christian?
Doe Jesus still love me?

They are allergic to "what if's" about God and the Bible.

Jesus teaches us to love our fellow man, and yet certain people believe that love only extends to other Christians ( http://www.jesuswouldbeashamedofyou.com ) case in point.

Why are modern, conservative Christians so quick to exercise their 'hate the sin, love the sinner' doctrine (which isn't in the bible) but never hold up signs saying "I love you for who you are: my neighbor" or "I love the sinner, I am a sinner"?

7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; those who seek find; and to those who knock, the door will be opened.
9 "Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

The Narrow and Wide Gates
13 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

scientists appreciate skepticism because it helps identify false ideas, whilst true ideas will hold up no matter how much skepticism. it seems to me this approach would be ok for reading the bible.

My ex, says he likes another girl, and that he dont love me, and stuff...but why is he still bothering me, and telling me certain stuff is cheating? But then again he says, "im a ****, im butt ugly, a terrible singer, and fat."

and the funny thing is Im a virgin, im definetly not ugly, I sing like an angel, and I go to the gym everyday...so im not fat."

Why is he bothering me still if he has another girl? and do you think he means that stuff, or honestly, is he trying to get me insecure, but he knows im not that stuff?

im a christian, and he says hell get better than me, but i think im a great girl, im pure, i love God, nice, and so on.

what is upm with hi,m?

I've been w/ my b/f for 4 years now and i saw in the history list that he registered and posted his profile on singles websites. I confronted him about it and he said he just wanted to see the response he'd get. Is this ok or do i have a right to be upset?

everyone, life's too short to fight. just hug your neighbour. seriously. everyone should love one another. it doesnt matter how you look, thats immaterial. god made you, and god loves you.

Why is questioning validity or the existence considered insulting to religionists?
Question Mohameds motives and Muslims want to stone you to death, or cut off your head or blow up your local pizzaria.

Question a Fundamentlist christian and they want to bomb the nearest abortion clinic, or insult your mother.

Anti-intellectualism, obscuranism, and snake-handling seem to rule the day in most "Modern" religions.

And you people wonder why educated people refuse to convert?

If i were to write a book charting the 'miricles' of David Blane and such like, and threw in a few other stories, some of which i may decide to make up, then put some foney names and numbers at the top of each page, i bet there would be some stupid **** who would take it as gospel truth in a few hundred years time and mabee half the world will believe it and it will cause loads of wars and stuff. That would be a laugh.
