Society & Culture - 1 September 2006

When I was a hard-core fundamentalist teenager, one of the big rules was "don't be unequally yoked". And from what I've observed, this seems to be a pretty strict guideline in most religions. (I'm over it personally)
I've got a variety of questionstions about this, address what you will:
-Do you choose to involve yourself with people who believe the same things as you?
-Is this tendency to flock together as strong with those who choose to not affiliate with a religion (are there atheists who only date other atheists)?
-What do you think about this whole issue in general?

He drank outta my water bottle. I put my arms around his neck and he didnt do anything and he was looking at my direction twice. Do you think these are signs that he likes me? What should I do?

Pornography is objectification and selling women as meat to male pigs who want to jerk off. It makes women look like sluts willing to fufill any man's needs. I want a world where women are respected and these women are traitors to womanhood. They defile themselves with a penis on screen. And why do men have problems with lesbians who will not do anything in front of them? Why do women wear low cut shirts and have implants? To disfigure themselves to please MEN? How SICK AND SAD THAT IS!

Is it wrong?

I believe in Buddhism's philosophy but I was raised as an Orthodox Christian, and I pray and attend church every once in a while.

I believe in Mother Nature. I don't really have a set religion, if you ask me.

So is it okay to wear Buddha around my neck sometimes?

would you rather be a:
"Chevalier of the Brazen Serpent" (the 25 degree in the hierarchy), a "Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret" (32 degree)
or the "Knight of the Eagle & Pelican and Sovereign Prince Rose Croix of Heredom" (18th degree)?

I reckon number 3 is the best, but number two is the proper mack daddy...which would you rather be?

Hi. I have a question. Please don't go away and help me out.

Following article has a sentecne that confuses me.

----->

His strategy paid off with two offers, one in data entry at the community college here, a job he held on work study before graduating, and another as a technician repairing copying machines. Mr. Walton went for the second.

It offers benefits, tuition reimbursement and a salary of $22,850 a year, with extra money toward buying a new car every few years.

“I feel a little bit more — I don’t want to say confident — but maybe worthy,’’ Mr. Walton said. “Now, I feel like I’m all that, and a bag of chips.’’

-----> On the bottome line, it says " Now, I feel like I am all that, and a bag
of chips" What does that mean? I am all that???? a bag of chips????

I hope my persistence to English would pay off.

Depends what you mean by "God" ...

Before you answer this, get your Bible and read Deuteronomy 28:15-68.

How else can you describe Yahweh than as a vicious Monster, even Demon?

Fortunately, Yahweh is NOT God-- just a concept FOR God. And face it, Yahweh is a lousy God-concept. It's primitive and culture-specific to the ancient Israelites, a barbaric culture that no one should want to emulate.

And besides, THEY even got it from the Kenites, a Midianite Arab tribe.

Isn't it time you repudiated this concept, and developed a more advanced notion of the Supreme Being? Can you do this?
