Do you think people are PC because they are afraid of what other people might think of them if they are not?

In Australia some silly academic has demanded that "Mom & Dad" not be used in Schools anymore, because it is offensive to the children of same sex & single sex families.

I want to know why ordinary people are not standing up to these silly academics. I have had people say to me, "don't say that somebody might find it offensive".

I have asked them, & others around them if they were offended. The reply has always been,"well no. but somebody else MIGHT be".

So, to my way of thinking. It's time to tell these learned academics to get a life. Preferrably on some island with others of their ilk and leave us alone.

So...I'm a cradle Catholic. At times I feel a bit shaky in my faith, but I've always stood by it. And...statistically speaking, it seems I'm in a minority in the whole...staying hardcore to Catholicism thing.
So...I'm just wondering how many people out there actually believe and follow ALL of the magisterium and doctrine of the Catholic Church...not just some?
Thanks.

We claim it's a relationship with God, but yet, people still say it's a religion - why is this?

Please explain.
You are typing on a computer that uses the theory of electronics and quantum mechanics to operate.
You may drive a car that uses GPS technology, which is based at least in part on relativity theory (the clocks on satellites run a little slower than on earth).
You drive a car that relies on electrical, mechanical and chemical theories to operate.
You most likely rely on some drugs a doctor prescribes that rely on molecular biology theory and chemical theory.
I could go on and on. My point is why do you have difficulty accepting evolution, which is based on the same sound science at the fore mentioned theories???
Are the others just convenient things you can use in you daily life without having to think about?
Are you just so blind to the world around you that it doesn't matter or requires too much energy to contemplate?

I have to work saturday till late at night, as usual. I usually get to work on my own and ride home with a coworker because it is not safe to walk at night. This saturday there is major freeway intersection closing including the one have to go under, it will closed for a couple of days. I can get to work because it is day and I can take a bus and leave early to allow for the 2 mile detour but saturday night is another story. I have no one to ride home with as I am working with new people who are mostly young guys who are not going to want to give a middle age woman a ride home. I will have to take a taxi and with the detour it will probably cost me close to 20 dollars, not much more than I am making at work after taxes for the few hours I work. I can't call in because there is no one to cover for me, a fact as I can't even take a lunch break, and have no one to call. I have a guy friend and I told him about it but he just says, oh well I hope you get home ok, duh.

I've experienced this alot lately from those close to me.... Some are believers and others arent...They keep coming to me for answers! One wants me to pray for something they need a (non believer) and another wants to bog me down with their problems a( believer) and when I tell them to go to church or ask God they look at me with such discernment! lol :)....as if im being facetious....but I really mean it.... GO TO CHURCH and ask God!!!! that's who I get my answers from and even when I become discouraged I still stand true and press on cause I know I have his favor! I guess my question is... Why do folks get offended when you tell them they need to go to chruch... but would rather sit actionless complaining about their problems? I dont understand! What do they want me to do? I feel like I HAVE SPOKEN!!! I told you what to do.... to get some kind of direction and you act as if I have made an appointment to get your teeth pulled? Are people Nuts? I really try to help...

So I was reading about IQ. There's an equation that can tell your IQ by putting your chronological age and your mental age.
I don't know my mental age. Is it only something you think you have? and then put it in the equation and see what your IQ is?
I can't find it anywhere. How does one know his mental age?

In other words, can you lose your salvation if there is no Bible verse that says that the Holy Spirit can or will unseal you before the day of redemption (i.e. before the second coming of Jesus)?

No one in the Quran died and was resurrected by God, only verses saying that God will raise the dead. Other religions too say something to that effect through reincarnation.

In the Quran, Jesus is a prophet but is known as 'the word of God'. Jesus did not die or was kill or was crucified. But God raised him without him having to die. Which means that God loved Jesus very much that he didn't allow him to die. So God has a very high regard for Jesus.

In the second coming, it is Jesus who comes down and defeats the Evil one. So God places a deep trust in Jesus for doing such a task and Jesus has Gods power.

To get into Heaven the Quran teaches that u must have faith and do good deeds. It doesn't tell u how much good deeds that you must do nor does it guarantee that u get into Heaven. So the path to Heaven is not clear.

God has a high regard of Jesus but Islam places a higher regard on Muhammed? There is a chptr dedicated to Mary mother of Jesus but no book about Muhammed's mother.

This can be part of relgious things, but on a side note i really don't take this section seriously anyways since 99% of you guys are just rediculous anyways. Just curious what people think about animal cruelty, like they deserve not to be tortured now because it's unnecessary and they are living creatures, and they shouldn't be sacrifced by evil religions in vain. it was okay in the old testament because it was commanded by the Living God for them to have their sins washed but temporarily by a lamb's blood sybolizing Jesus to come, but since Jesus died we can have our sins washed away and repent and be made perfect and receive our salvation when we grow in the spirit after the spiritual awakening and reading the word of God and preaching the good news and dying in Jesus with the Holy Spirit.
