Society & Culture - 15 August 2006

It just seems like satan is trying to tare me apart. It seems the closer school gets here the harder he tries to take me down. Why? I am only 17 and am going through more stress and worrying more than an adult would. I try to relax and pray but the more I do that the harder satan hits at me. Just when it seems things are ganna be good he strikes again. I just don't understand why he keeps striking at me. I don't know if I can handle every thing he is throwing at me. He doesn't wait to see if the first thing gets me down before he throws another he just keeps it all coming and its pileing up. The pile is just so high. Sometimes I feel like I can't go on. My friends really aren't friends I have no one at my church that is my age to talk to these things about. I talk to some of the adults and my pastor but its just not the same. I just want to meet one person about my age that can help me. Someone who is or has gone through some of the same things as I am going throught. rachaelk2007@yaho

are you all masons or are you just so over zealous than you haven't noticed that your leaders are? being zealous is a good thing - if for the right reason.

I am a muslim girl and I have noticed how many non muslims pity muslim women, why though I dont understand, our lives are completely normall, we live how we want and happily.

I am a Muslim Woman
Feel free to ask me why
When I walk, I walk with dignity
When I speak, I do not lie
I am a Muslim Woman,
Not all of me you'll see
But what you should appreciate
Is that the choice I make is free
I'm not plagued with depression
I'm neither cheated nor abused
I don't envy other women
And I'm certainly not confused
Note, I speak perfect English
Et un petit peu de francais aussie
I'm majoring in Linguistics
So you need not speak slowly
I own my own small business
Every cent I earn is mine
I drive my Chevy to school and work
And no, that's not a crime
You often stare as I walk by
You don't understand my veil
But peace and power I have found
For I am equal to any male
I am a Muslim Woman
So please don't pity me
For God has guided me to truth

The angel gabriel said to Yosef, "You shall call Him Yahoshua, for He will oshua (save) His people." His mom called him Yahoshua, and so did the apostles, so who then is right? i would not like anyone to miss -prenounce my name so why should I do the same to Yahoshua, also its kinda important because there is no other name under heaven that we are saved, so is it Jesus or Yahoshua? your thoughts please.

How do you explain how the Indians worshiped spirits and anything BUT God when Columbus discovered them?? If Jesus HAD come to the America's, wouldn't there be followers of the church here when Columbus discovered America???

Why do you TRY to make sense of the Book of Mormon? There are SO many ways that it can be proven wrong... At least the Bible has YET to be proven wrong in ANY way

peace in Christ

Presbyterians believe in predestination. Which from what I understand that means that God chooses who goes to Heaven and who goes to hell. But I cannot find anywhere in the Bible that supports this. If anyone has any information on this that Biblically proves predestination please let me know.

Why are you pro-life? Many of us on yahoo answers are pro-choice, but would be very much interested in seeing the reasoning behind the pro-life stance.

For those of us who are pro-choice, could we maybe just read the answers to this one, before we have a "yahoo answers response".

Thanks

I ask this because if someone now were to sit down and write books and letters similar to the books of the bible and people were going to begin living their lives as the books said they should , and create a religion out of it, people would think they were insane.

People would not believe them and would push them aside.

So were people so desperate for a religion change back then that they latched on to whatever they could?

For example, they could do away with many of the laws in the OT just by saying they believed in Jesus. Seems like a great workaround if you wanted to eat pork, etc. etc.

I'm bisexual but until now still hiding my feelings. Society and my family don't know what really my identity. I tried to be straight but really hard. So, I left my country to be free. So, I want to meet a real person who will accept me as I am.

Why the efeminate voices, its put on isn't it?, noone talks like that, i've heard gays guys slip into normal voices when they are relaxed! confuses me, and if you are so into men, why do SOME gays act like women, i thought women weren't attractive, same with SOME lesbians why do SOME dress like men if thereare only into women.

Please no ranting i am purely posing a question and not saying anything bad about you as people, maybe others may wonder these things so now is a good time to just give us un-aware-of-gay-people abit of insight,
sorry if my tone appears rude, i was never any good at english!

To the right to lifers out there...how does overturning Roe V. Wade overturn abortion.

I'm a Christian, and I believe in the sanctity of the human life. But I see a big problem with overturning Roe V. Wade. All it will do is to make abortions illegal. How will this actually reduce the need for abortions?

Secondly, how would you suggest the government and society deal with the issue of the anticipating increase in chidren and teenagers that will result in this issue. How will you help those women and their children?

I'm looking for a logical solution for the increased birthrates that will become children, and later on teenagers.

Just wondering after the most offensive question I've ever seen:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20060815065710AAtvjE7&r=w#NbUvWzK1UjlDEc0YrG1b

Which condemns people for homosexuality and _not_ for paedophilia.

It got me thinking. I've never actually heard people tossing out quotes from Leviticus or elsewhere on the topic of having sex with children.

Is it in there? Or did God overlook it?

I've done that poll in the spanish version of this site and usually get between 22-24% of people who think he is mythological.

Of course I get flamed a lot for asking this, if you intend to flame please don't, I just want to count how many believe one thing against the other.

Thanks!
