Society & Culture - 13 August 2006

On my last night of vacation I met this amazing Italian man. We got along really well, and despite him knowing I had to leave the next day and despite the fact that he knew he wouldn't get further than kissing me, he stayed up all night just to talk to me. He also ended up telling me he loved me (in english, I don't know if that's important). Is this something I should consider as part of regular italian flirting, or is the typical male Italian sincere when he says this?

This question is more a thought expiriment to see how many people will tell me not to do it. I'm married but many people don't read the details and are just going to spout off stuff.
This is based on an answer from another agnostic today she did a similar expiriment and she is married with kids, as I am, and got the lectures from people who didn't read the details.

When ordering take-out from a restaurant where you would tip if eating in person, what is the etiquette for tipping? I usually give a couple bucks if the server had to go outside to the car and a buck if someone just had to hand me the food. Too much, too little?

I have always had lust problem and recently it started to feel unbearable. I became extremely depressed and frustrated about the fact that my life is being controlled by the lust problem no matter how hard I try.
I have prayed so many times to God to help me be free of this problem but I keep struggling. I am 24 now. I have had it for 8 yrs. At this point, it seems like I am dealing with something beyond my power.The temptation of lust is very STRONG for me for some reason. It is not something I can just control at will.
And I am saying this after countless efforts and tries. I am truly fed up with my lust problem and I just wish it would go away. If any Christians could give me any insights or advice, i would appreciate it.

Does it look tacky when you drive-by a Church and you see a group of people standing outside the bulding smoking?

I've heard a lot of atheist say God is all cause of evils like wars if He exists, etc.. yet they say its human nature that causes wars since God does not exist. so why is it that when God exists is his fault, yet when he doesn't exist is human nature. Stop blaming God and realize it is human nature. Some say a God wouldn't create evil humans. consider this, when a car gets a dent on it was it made by the company like that? no.It is reckless driving that causes it,, God did not make us evil, it is our shameful behavior that makes us so.(by the way i'm not some christian fundementalist, i'm a 14 year old boy who believes we were more than just mere accidents of science.)

Why does Jesus suck? Why do Christians worship Jesus, but they have never seen, and just heard of him in a book?

Not that it really matters or can change my faith but I am curious how they REALLY feel about us.DO you hate ALL of us or just SOME of us? Or do you just feel we are foolish and misguided?

Peace and Prayers,
Debra

It didn't work (for those of us with siblings) with our parents, so why should it work for Nations? This type of cop-out sickens me to the core. Violence begets violence.

Is it a realistic goal, in the 21rst Century, to eradicate fundamentalist religion, ie: those sects of modern religion that cause violence.

Examples would include terrorist groups, and those groups that blow up abortion clinics.

Essentially what this question is - is all can we hope for is to eradicate those religious organizations that seek to do violence, and live peacefully amougst those religions, who the worst we can expect from them is "you are going to hell if you don't believe as I do"

I feel it is a neccessary goal to whipe out those who want to whipe out me, and to do so before they do me. THis is one of the reasons I support the Bush foreign policy. When a Democrat is elected in 2008, the war on terrorism will continue, so it will go forever and ever, until the scourge of fundamentalism is eradicated.

What are your thoughts on this?
