Society & Culture - 1 September 2006

In part it goes:
"Lord, make me an instrument, an instrument of worship, I lift up my hands to your name....."

We used to sing it quite a number of years ago and it has just been on my heart lately. If anyone knows all the word to the song I would so appreciate if you would share them with me as I seem to have forgotten most of them.

Thank you,
God bless you in Jesus!

It is more than obvious in todays climate there there are mis-conceptions regarding the Islamic faith being branded around in every corner possible. It boils down to ignorance and intolerance.

Muslims: Could you beiefly educate us in the common mis-conceptions we have in the west regarding your religion, in your own words.

If your first thought is to call me a complete whack job then what makes any other prophet a truth teller? Why believe one person over another? Is it the message or the messenger?

Did your parents tell you that God existed, or your teacher, or preacher, or did you read it in the Bible, or did you just wake up one day and discovered God existed?

Science doesn’t know yet if the universe was created or not. However, if we assume the universe was created, then it’s reasonable to assume there was a creator. That’s as far as science has progressed today. Some of the best brains in the world just don’t know.

Religious people don’t say we hope God exists, and we hope God is good, they state that God definitely does exist and then go on to provide a whole list of supporting evidence they call facts.

So if science doesn’t accept religious evidence that God exists, when did you first realise God existed and what supporting evidence do you have if any? Or, were you told to "please love God" just to keep the peace?

Jesus said the two most important commandments are love God, and treat others as you'd want to be treated. This includes not bashing gays...literally or verbally. How can people justify treating anyone disrespectfully. Please make me understand!

Some people are telling that:
(1) Muslims(no distinction--very generally termed) are terrorists.
(2)They want to conqure the world
(3) They want to change the so-called democracies.
(4) They call others non-believers
(5) They blackmail the West with their oil.
Oh Yea!! So you know what 1.5 billion people collectively wants??? They want to conquere the world?? They want to blackmail you with their oil?
Ok, If really the mindset of 1.5 billion people were to conqure the world--you atleast couldn't sleep in peace!! You filthy Westerners have colonized and sucked the wealth of 95% of the world and still you are. So, somehow you have to pay back. And if really the Muslims used their oil to efficiently blackmail you--your economy would collapse. The West is still far away to use alternative fuels. Infact it's the oil-greed of filthy Westerners--that created havoc in Middle-East. Yes, we call non-muslims non-believers--should we call them "Muslims"???
Muslims are not commanded to kill anyone without cause.
But if there is a single sufficient cause--they must do it.
Western countries are not democracy--they are rules of mobs. It's by their people,of their people and for their people. They don't care a zot for other people in the third world countries except--their selfish agenda. You will not win. You will lose. It's coming slowly but steadily. You are a morally bankrupt people. Roman empire was fallen but
the culture and people survived in some degree. You will be completey ANNIHILATED.

I have a very close gay friend and he is very proud of himself. He gets picked on a lot and gets a lot of stares when we go out to the mall or out to eat or something. I hate it and wish there were something I could do to make people understand that he is still a person and a WONDERFUL friend he is always there for me when I need him just like any of my straight friends would. sometimes even more so. Can anyone tell me why people treat him like he is some sort of ciriminal for being himself??

Would it be plausible to have an old manor house, a couple hundred years old, that, in 1858 is being used as a boarding/finishing school, have working bathrooms, or would they still be hauling water from the kitchen?

To me, the bible is much more clear on divorce and premarital sex. Why don't we fight against those? Aren't those much more corrosive to the state of marriage? If you argue that they aren't, then how can you argue against gay marriage?

It seems to me (and the bible and Jesus seem to agree) that divorce and premarital relations are much more important issues. Do Christians avoid these issues because they are afraid of driving away people? Is that anyway to run a religion? Is it a popularity contest where we ignore what Jesus wanted and pound on a weak underclass in order to gain parishoners? Is it worth it if we loose sight of the mission?

Why don't we focus more on what Jesus actually said as opposed to the cause celebre of our "religious" leaders?

Thankfully he was finally captured. Do you think this 'religion' is real or crazy? I know different people believe different things but many people believe there could be another Waco situation with this group. What are your thoughts?

I've had many jobs, and the only one that gave me the freedom to wear what I want, to really dress comfortably (read nail-polish), was a summer job as an assembly line worker. I dont CD every day, but I couldn't even wear a dress during UC's gender bender at my UC job!!!

Would you? Or would you then have the good sense to know he had (perhaps) gone senile/crazy/etc? Would that then make you realize that nobody is perfect, not even him?
