Society & Culture - 6 August 2006

some research for them selves. I have nothing against any religion or faith or lack thereof.

But just as people who believe in a certain religion read scriptures of that religion to find out about God, aren't atheists supposed to do their homework too?

Or do atheists simply believe what another atheist tells them because it fits in with their belief? If you are an atheist today, just how much did you research or experience to deserve that title?

And what primary works of literature would you ask people to read before they started calling themselves really atheists? What use is a physicist that doesn't know Newton's laws?

I met a 13 yr old atheist here on Yahoo. like, isn't 13 too young?

some people discriminate alot of overweight, black, unpretty and the like to a point when they won't even care if they hurt others; how do you call those people? Are they simply being a racist, conceited, proud or what?

i'm not like that myself, i just feel bad when i see or hear people insult others who wouldn't even say a word to them or would just feel bad instantly and feel down, just makes me think why can't they humble themselves down

for those who wants to react if ever felt in any way mistreated, speak up pals!

Hi, I've got a colleage who upset me last week. Some of us had some dumplings at the office as snacks. Afterwards I did both dishes, one was very larger and the other one was smaller. I didn't mind doing it. When I finished the cleaning, I asked a colleague to take them back to the office. She turned my request down saying she got her hands full when in fact she only had a small knife. I pointed to my own stuff and said I got a lot of stuff to carry. She said that I should just take one more trip to get my stuff. When she walked out of the bathroom, I glanced at her EMPTY hands and said, "Why, don't you have nothing in your hands?" She knew I was upset and we never exchanged a word ever since then. The thing is I've helped her out MORE than once, and I didn't expect her to turn my request down with such a LOUSY excuse. I wonder why she behaved in such a rude manner; especially after I'd helped her out!!! People, please tell me what you think of this woman and her manners? Thanks.

Each human being is basically composed of the common kind of organs and has the same basic intellectual and physical yearnings. This includes yearnings relating to innerself, God, peace of nind and things like these. People have yearnings for thirst, hunger and sexual process/acts. The respective answers to all these physicals are based on the "inbuilt appliances" which human beings have and not on external labels and partitions. Very wisely, in respect of thirst, hunger and sex all people are already well above creed, color, nationality, rituals and religions. Thy find answers in this lifetime itself. So let us address the question which has been highlighted in common interest....Must be something INBUILT too for the question raised by me. Could some of the 106 video clips ( Each apprx. 5 minute length) whic I've seen in "INSPIRE" magazine at http://inspire.contactinfo.net/ be of help in finding the practical answer in this lifetime itself (without waiting for life after death) ?

Mine is writing. I can express very well in writing, even better than speaking, which I do well too. There's something about writing/typing that gets my brain going.

When my sister was going through the police academy, she had to write several papers. She's excellent at writing too, but still asked me to help her with ideas. Most of the work she did herself, but sometimes she'd want to say something, and asked me how it should be worded, and she also asked me to proofread it for grammar. (I'm really good at that too.)

What about you, what are you good at? Clean answers please, pretend your Grandma is standing next to you, hehe!

I am giving you the oppurtunity of a personal confession

I don't worship Satan, but I do follow his ways....

1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!

2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!

3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!

4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!

5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek!

6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires!

7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all!

8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!


9. Satan has been the best friend I have ever had, as He has kept me happy all these years!

"Allah" is a very powerful entity and cohort of Lucifer the Satan, if not the adversary himself. This entity has very limited powers that were given by THE ALMIGHTY GOD (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) who CREATED this "Allah" in the first place - in the angelic realm. He fell from grace when "iniquity was found" in this entity, Lucifer, and his followers. This entity is A DECEIVER and will lead ALL who follow him in to hellfire that was "prepared for the devil and his angels" (Matthew 25:41).
