Society & Culture - 21 August 2006

Obviously many people on this Yahoo! answers thing are here purely to instigate hate and publicly display their ignorance and arrogance. I ask for those of you who seek real dialogue not to reply, answer or give these people any kind of reply b/c it only encourages them to go on. And i know many of em will reply to this but ignore them they don't even deserve the energy of your typing, b/c they will not change. And hopefully they'll just give up and get a life. =)
Thank you.

In the U.S., churches are allowed to have property and businesses tax free, but in Stafford (TX) they are finding it hard to pay for city services, because of the number of large churches in the community, that are not paying taxes. Jesus said to pay until Caesar what is Caesar's, yet Churches find any way possible to avoid paying taxes. Should they be paying taxes, like any other businesses?

consider the ramsey child and many others. These heteros are nothing but child molestors.

I went to a Bible Fellowship about 8 years ago but I only stayed 2 years and have not been to church since. The pastor called me at home to tell me I had to kick my teenage son's best friend out of my home because it gave the appearance of evil to have him living with us since I was divorced. This boys mom died and I took him in as he had no one and he was a nice boy. He finished high school and got a good job and his own place and every Mothers Day I get a beautiful card from him thanking me. Also, one day I took a ride home from evening service from an older gentleman because it was pouring out and pastor called me up to say that gave the appearance of evil. He also told all the women he would bring in a "real christian woman" to teach us how to dress. I never saw anyone dressed inappropriately. He wanted big dresses and heads covered in hats. Swimming should be done in outfits that cover past knees and elbows. Should I look for a church or just watch Charles Stanley?

Just try not letting the nut cases get you fired up over religion. Every one can have an opinion, you just don't have to "push" it on others.
Try it, you might feel better.

Bush himself and the Bush Boys (his closest officials) always repeat their statements over and over again:
"if we send the troops home, we'll be giving terrorists a strong message"
"Its hard work!' (hey says this ALL the time)
"We are at a War."

My 2 year old son's father and I were never married and are no longer together. He is Catholic. I have always disagreed with the Catholic religion. Anyway today my son's dad said he talked with the priest or whatever at his church about baptising our son and the priest (or whoever) said that he needs consent from both of the childs parents. I told my son's dad that NO he does not have my consent.
I do have questions though. Does the Catholic church require consent from both parents to baptise a young child? why? how strict are they on having consent from both biological parents? Why do they baptise young children? What process does it involve and what all is involved in Catholic baptism of a child? What will it mean to my son's dad and his family if my son is not baptised in their church?????

I got to understand this after the 9/11 events that Revelation 18 describes 9/11 too perfectly. I only met one christian who agrees with me, so far.

Then why was this a sign from God to the children of Jacob?
6 Then the LORD said, "Put your hand inside your cloak." So Moses put his hand into his cloak, and when he took it out, it was leprous, [a] like snow.

And if Moses was white how did he hide in Africa as an infant and grow up in the house of the king of Egypt without being detected?

The more I read and learn. The less I believe in god. For instance just taking into consideration all the cultures that the world has had in the last 100,000 years and all their different gods how can just one be chosen. Especially a god as New as jesus or islam.
