Society & Culture - 19 August 2006

I'm sick and tired of christians butting in on peoples ways of life and telling them its wrong. Its not your place to judge and what gives you the right? In terms of magic and witch craft why do you feel the need to persecute others? I'm also sick and tired of reading bible quotes from people telling others their going to hell. I especially hate it when someone gives this kind of imput to someone who didn't ask for it to begin with. Christ can perform "miracles" and yet any person the slightest bit interested in magic is evil? This is just SO annoying having to deal with these people and their stereotypes, also they can never take criticism of their own faith but can openly mok others. Greater gods have been slained in the name of a great hypocritical god that does not exist....... (sorry for ranting)

Ok, here's what happened. I live in the southern states where we're born and raised very patriotic and thats just how it is. I mean, I may not agree with everything my government leaders do and think that they are total a** holes sometimes but I LOVE my country (USA). Anyway, I was at my boyfriends house (he lives w/ his mom) and he has several generations living in his house. His mom was born and raised here, but his step-dad is a big city slicker from New York but had rather be living in some European country and thinks its completely better over there. Well, at the dinner table he was talking politics and was really putting the US down and I just couldn't help quoting Merle to him.....
"I hear people talkin' bad,
About the way we have to live here in this country,
Harpin' on the wars we fight,
An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.
An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,
An' standin' up for things they believe in.
When they're runnin' down my country, man,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me."
lol, was that wrong of me? I made his grandpa crack up because he's a country boy through and through and I think he was getting annoyed at his son in law also. I even made my bf's mom laugh, and the only person who didn't was his step-dad. But I couldn't help it. Would you have quoted Merle to? I just wanted to get my point across in a funny way....do you think I did?

how many of you believe that the documentary in the bible has been modified by power-crazy priests to maintain the dominion of the church? If you believe it has, do you still believe in Jesus' divinity? What is the biggest gap you see between Jesus' teaching and the bible's commentary?

Almost everyone here seems to believe that every religion worship one or several god(s).

Is it really true? Aren't there religions that don't worship any kind of deity?

I sat to write a letter
To express the way I feel
Too much I could not say,
Some imagined and all real.
Life is a wonderous mystery.
A gift that sometimes brings pain.
That we all will one day lose
It will not come again.
Today is simply now
Tomorrow is as yet a dream
We only get this moment
The rest is as yet unseen.
So regardless of your beliefs
Live it to it's fullest measure.
Enjoy all that you have
It is the deepest treasure.
Friends, family, strangers,
Some we will never meet.
But all of us walk together.
Down this journeys street

I get the feeling that alot of people are questioning their religion.
There is only one GOD but we have many religions. and they all say that their religion is the right way to GOD. Its all very confusing and very difficult to realy know who or what to believe.
Read the bible, the torah and the Quran with an open heart and let your heart decide. Our minds have been confused with misinformation. Only our hearts know what is true.
Our hearts have been sealed for so long and the truth is the key that will unlock our hearts and set us free from the chains of lies that are stopping us from returning to GOD. The truth will set you free.

Matthew 6:5-6 (New King James Version)
5 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

My friend's pastor & his wife live in a house next to the church on the same property. Its a smallish, rural church, with one full time pastor. In the past, all the pastors they have had have lived in that house. When they quit being the pastor they had to move.

So I'm curious, and my friend didnt know: If the pastor keeps on being pastor til he is too old to give sermons anymore, then what? It wouldn't be very church-like to kick him out in his old age. But if the old pastor keeps living there, what do they do for/with a new pastor? Then, if the old pastor dies in the house, the new one wont want to live there will he? So what does the church do?

Also, since he's full time and the church pays his salary, does the church pay him less because he doesnt have rent or a mortgage to pay for (since he lives in that house by the church)? Who decides how much he gets paid? It wouldn't be right if HE did, would it? Do the deacons vote or something, how does it usually work?

i know why, and agree to Mary's many many given titles, just curious as to the story, tale, or background to the title "Star of the Sea." there is a branch of churches named after this title so there has to be an origin of this name. thanks and God bless.

i think the main reason for the problem is over the top political correctness.you cant say anything anymore without someone saying they are offended by it.i find it is ridiculous.in cases of something clearly being comedy for instance people cant hack it.what is happening.if people dont give their own opinions how are we to grow as people.are we just to believe whatever everyone else says and not question anything incase it offends someone.thats the way it seems to me.i dont like the way so much is now becoming taboo
