Society & Culture - 1 August 2006

I don't mind spending my points on a question like this...I have enough to spare.... Does anyone actually realize that there are people on here who truly are asking for help and advice. When someone wants to die...don't tell them to commit suicide. Are you absolutely crazy? When someone has a genuine question about sex, you make fun of them for their lack of sexual understanding? Are you just cruel?

I realize not everyone is like that, but why are some of you so intentionally mean?

Critically inappropriate answers and name calling will only get you reported by me and the other people who are here to seek/give help.

He knows how we will react just like everyone knows the answer to that question is "To get to the other side."

If you were one of those that are hated by a certain group and was given the chance to change your race/enthicity/background, would you do it?
Also, how come one can be so proud of his/her background (therefore, would not want to change), yet will claim that all humans are the same? Isn't there a condtradiction in such a statment?

I mean I don't know which relegion to b-lieve, and all they tell you is "If you don't read the bible, go to church, and b-lieve in god ur going to hell" and "If u really b-lieve in god you would b reading the bible instead of doing all the things u do."

I mean they cant tell me to read what could b a bunch of lies in my valuble time. Im not saying the bible is. I belive in god all the way but I wonder if thats what he wants me to do. I wonder if he just wants us to b-lieve in him and not sin.

I also think that athiest should not go to hell. They have no reason to believe in god. Its not like he wrote "I exist" on sand or anything.

Plz give me reasonable answers not "Ur such a sinner" cuz I'll tend to b-lieve I am right.

I heard that some churches like to stick with the KJV exclusively. Anyone know who, or why? Also, what do you think of the New King James? How about the New American Standard?
Thanks, and God bless you!

Would you have to put a lot of force, or does it slice easily? Sorry for the graphic images I put in your mind.

Okay, well...
Just recently I ordered this manual, that showed you how to make dimes using pennies, so that when put into any kind of machine (ex. coinstar, vending, laundry) it acts as a dime. Anyway I made about 10,000 of these "dimes". It was sort of a hobby I guess. Anyway I was talking about it one day and this guy said he would buy them from me for like $500. So I was like sure, and I've been selling my dimes to him ever since. Well the other day I saw him putting the dimes into a coinstar machine. I didn't say anything, but would I go to hell for giving him the dimes? Thanks!


I just like to do this because I think it's fun, and I hate having extra pennies!

About a year ago, I used to love pink and girly frilly stuff. Now, suddenly I love Invader Zim, Johnny the Homicidal Maniac comics, and I want my room to be repainted black/red. Right now it's pink/purple. I used to wear tons of pink, purple, rainbow, etc, but now I only feel like wearing red/black/green. Other colors on rare occasions. My friends say I'm 'going goth'. Do you agree?

Especially, when the symbols like Swastika and Yoga postures found at the archeological site. Why the idea that Aryans brought Hinduism to India is is still so popular among scholars?

4:136 O ye who believe! Believe in Allah and His Apostle, and the scripture which He hath sent to His Apostle and the scripture which He sent to those before (him). Any who denieth Allah, His angels, His Books, His Apostles, and the Day of Judgment, hath gone far, far astray.

"Believe the Scripture which He sent to those before." THAT means the Bible! Yet the Bible and the Quran contradict each other on key points. (Jesus as God-Man, Salvation by the Cross) Therefore, how can they have the same Author? And if they don't have the same Author, which is which? Qu'ran says it agrees, but it doesn't. Therefore isn't it authored by a LIAR? Scripture identifies the great liar as Shaitan. Therefore, the Qu'ran must be authored by Satan, NOT Gabriel. COME AWAY FROM HER, MY PEOPLE!

So many people blame GOD himself for the murders and bloodshed caused during the Crusades. They say things like "How can you follow a GOD that would order the Crusades" and "How can GOD call himself merciful after the Crusades". Well, it is my contention that those Popes and Priests and Kings are just men with the ambitions of men. THEY ordered, organized, and participated in the Crusades. GOD didn't tell or inspire squat. THEY did it for land and money, same as every other Barbarian. The only difference was that these guys had a Bible to hide behind. By the time Richard the Lionheart came along, they didn't even bother to hide behind the Bible anymore. Hell, the last Crusade was bought out by some blind Italian and used for something else.

Now, mind you, I just got finished watching a four part special on the Crusades, so I know quite a bit about what happened. If you saw the same show, you too would wonder what moron would sit there and say something so stupid.

Premise 1: Everything that begins has a cause
Premise 2: The universe began
Conclusion: The universe had a cause

Note: if this cause is what we'd call a god, then it would exist outside of space and therefore outside of time so it would never have "began," so please don't ask "what was god's cause?"

Aside from what Wikipedia says about it being a pun amongst medieval scholars, seeing as that has no contextual proof and is just an assumption on our part. It never specifically states an apple was eaten and there are a lot worse things that grow from trees than an apple.

So why the apple?

I was just wondering, b/c some people on here have really different views about every religion, so what do some people think about this religion. Just before people say things that they don't know all the meaning of, I would like you to know that Islam requires you to know about other religions too. To see what is truth in them and what is false. So, answer away.
