Society & Culture - 8 August 2006

I am a Christian man and earlier I posted some questions that gave some the impression that I hate gays and lesbians, which nothing can be further from the truth. Although, I don't approve of your lifestyles I still have much love for you. Just as it is my purpose to spread the gospel, it is also my purpose to show love for everyone regardless of race, color, creed or sexual orientation. So at this time I would like to offer my apology to anyone who misinterpreted my intent as being that of hatred. We live in a country that gives us the freedom to voice our opinions, and though our views may differ, it is always important that we learn to live together peacefully and love and respect one another. Peace be with you all. Are you with me?

The Empire flourished for many centuries. Then Constantine got converted, and made Christianity the "official religion." A century later Rome fell.

What might our society and church look like if God were imaged as mother or any other feminine images? What would the implications be for your life?

We recently hired a new person where I work. We are about the same age and talk a lot at work because our offices are next to each other and I am helping train her. She seems to want to be best friends with me now. She invited me to a movie-- which I went to because I didn't want to hurt her feelings, but now she wants me to come to her house this weekend. I don't like hanging out with co-workers outside of work. I keep my personal and professional life separate. 40 hours a week with my coworkers is plenty. I want to spend my weekends with my friends. How can I tell her that I don't want to go to her house, nor do I want to be her friend?

I really wanted to ask this question. I live on the east coast. I see
a lot of females amd some males, some of them look gay and some look straight. At first the earring in the eyebrow means that a person is gay. Now, I see the earring under the lip. Does that mean a person is gay?

This is my favorite flower, and I would like to use it as my daughter's name, but I was hoping that it is called something that sounds prettier in another language. Does anyone know what it is in Arabic or French or anything else?

Regarding religion, or lack thereof, why do people make assumptions of people's beliefs? Not all theists believe in the same tenets of their religion as someone else. What if someone were to pick and choose? Or if an atheist has moderate or extreme views on the question of the existence of a divine force?

The point is, while different sections (Muslims, Atheists, Christians, etc.) of the question fight each other, hurling insults, they fail to realize that not everyone falls into the same category, the same mold of the atheist or theist. And don't say that they do.

For and example, I'll use myself, which I hate to do. Most atheists' beliefs are claimed to be based on logic. My belief in God is also based on logic.

And immediately, I'm sure someone will say, "It's all fairy-stories! Floods? Whatever! Resurrections? Sure, okay!" but that's not the basis.
There must be something more to the world; flesh, blood, and bone are too basic; it's too cold. Atheism is too negative.

My husband and I have been together for 12 years, 8 of those years in marriage. We grew up together, but didn't really get involved, until later on, in life. My husband is white and here lately, the same people that he grew up with, (mostly black men) that are black and supposed to be his friends, talk crap to me, behind his back. They are always telling me that i'm too beautiful to be with a white man and that I should be, next to a black mans side. I think that's so unfair, considering they have white girlfriends. I haven't told my husband what they say, because I don't want any trouble. I told them, what business is it of theirs anyway, I don't judge them, by who they date. When I dated and later married my husband, color never crossed my mind. Should I tell my husband?
