Society & Culture - 11 August 2006

I ask this because everytime you turn around there is a negative racist comment made towards black and hispanic people, but whites are always trying to sing soulful, dance soulful, salsa, have ethnic features and enjoy mexican food dishes. Why is that? I really want to know....Answer with intellectuality. This is not an attack!

I'm a very firm Agnostic. I've been debating religion for years and no one has been able to shake my ideas and get me to convert yet. I am not a Christian, I have no desire to become one. I don't have faith in the Bible (so using it in arguements never works) I don't believe Jesus was the son of God (though if more people actually listened to what he said, the world might be a better place), and I don't believe in Heaven or Hell as Christian dogma describes them. I'm not angry at God, I'm not "bitter," as I've been told, I just simply. Do not. Believe. What Christians. Believe.

Why can't some people accept that I'm quite happy the way I am?

My buddy and I have been best buds for years and just recently he came out of the closet and told everyone he was gay. Just about everyone at church hates him now, and he told me he had been studying Wicca for quite some time now. And last night he invited me to a full moon ritual, and all I can say is WOW! It was not what I had expected. I didn't know what to expect! In one night, I felt more spiritual than I have in nineteen years of going to church. How can I learn more about Wicca? I really think I want to know more.

If Scientology has a lot to do with duplication, I would prefer that only members that CAN duplicate my questions have a go - either at me for asking the questions, or just answering the darn thing.... thankyou. You don't need to use my question as an opportunity for self promotion. Those who make claims about Hubbard and Scientology either way... prove your position with real evidence... that I can evaluate.. thankyou yet again.

My suggestion is that if the government got out of the marriage business and said that civil unions will replace marriage as law, then churches would be free to choose whom or whom not to marry. It seems to me that the very word marriage is what has people up in arms.

Ok, dropping any religion for this two parter. (Sound like Darwin)
1) Can the government force health care on a person to make them live even if they do not want it?(ie. blood transfusion)

2)If the government forces people to live then why do they say abortion is okay?

I've had a run in with a few "ghost" in my time. Most recently, the apartment my husband I just moved from (not because of the ghost) had a kind male spirit by the name of Cleophus. The apartment community was built on land that was once a Plantation and Cleo was a slave that worked the land. He would mostly show himself at night, but on the day we were finshing the move his told us goodbye in his own special way. When I went upstairs to check the bath room for anything we might be leaving behind, there written in steam on the glass (no one had been running the shower or sink) were the words. "Been nice havin' yall here." I called my husband to tell him to come see but just as I turned back it was gone. Well, we now live in a different community and there is another "entity" that comes to visit. I have not "seen" this one, but my cat chases it quite often (as she did with Cleo). Do you, or have you, ever experianced your own run in with "ghost" & who did you call? Sorry couldn't resit

that agnosticism is the refusal to choose?we don't not choose we just choose to believe in the facts. And the fact is that there is no evidence for gods existance and none for his non-existance

Was it different before Abraham (who you will remeber met a monotheistic priest and tithed to him from his wealth).

Was it different after Jesus?

Do we just understand God better?

I recently moved out of an apartment complex in Atlanta Georgia, wherein I had accidently left a foot sized bleach stain on the carpet, on moving I had asked the apartment guys for a walk through but thay wanted to do that on their own schedule, left the forwarding address with them and did everything to ensure a perfect exit....less than a month later i recieved a bill of $500 because they had changed the entire carpet of the apartment and wanted us to foot the bill.My concern is: we were not taken in the loop at all, they had'nt been transparent enough in explaining the rules and the authorities never responded to our questions and gave us anything in writing...we are now paying the amount but under protest.I want a fair opinion and understanding of this issue and also the contact detail of any federal authority which can help us through.
