Society & Culture - 1 September 2006

aside from voting, praying, writing letters and showing my opposition to everyone who is promoting violence, hatred, a stupid destructive pseudo-culture of celebrities and so on.
Tomorrow is my birthday, and I feel so discouraged, when I glanced at the New York Times this morning. Bush looks like a fanatic, African students are shot at a bus stop and nothing in the news is worth reading. How do you keep a positive attitude and make a positive difference in people's lives?

Because i think that at some point(s) in the past the earth got bad enough and it froze over to fix it Self and like that the many times we had them.so now the earth will start to heal by heating up and then comes the never ending winter.

After reading the comments on piercing a young child I thought I'd ask this.

There will always be SOME medical reasons for it, and you could possibly argue for it in certain hot climates with poor hygene, but in Europe? America? Girls as well as boys?

why do muslim countries murder gay people? Dont muslims realize that the Quranic injunctions on homosexuality has been proven dead wrong by modern day doctors and scientists? medical science has proven beyond doubt that homosexuality is a natural trait in every life form.
and let me tell you that since muslims are populating themselves at a very fast rate islam now has the highest number of gay people. I have heard that some muzzins are secretly practicing their gay lifestyles while calling for the murder of other muslims who are gay.
My question is why all this hypocracy in islam?

Behold and I saw a pale horse and the name hell and death following him and he was given authority to destroy one fourth of the earth by the sword, plague and famine.
Then after these words I see green circling smoke coming from a nuke in Athens.
An evil spirit (pale) coming out of a man leading people to New Marshefeild?
And evil spirit (horse) coming out of the bomb like a cartoon. Clear with a black line around it.
Now I don't dream, or if I do I don't normally remember them so I am freaked out here.
Gather yourselves to the Lord it is time. This is what I dreamed, take it for what it is but I feel responsible if I don't tell anyone and give the warning. If that is what it is.
thanks all.
comments welcome/.
But more clear than anything was "behold a pale horse"

I have been studying now for 3 years with regular Sunday and Tuesday meetings and personal home Bible study.
I accept that the organisation is the true face of christianity and true worship of Jehovah God. I accept that the Bible is the source of God inspired knowledge to everlasting life. And I accept that Jehovah's Witnesses are God's visible organisation on earth and understand the importance of the preaching work just as Jesus and the disciples accomplished though I have yet to go on the ministry myself. How did you know when you were ready for baptism and to become a servant of Jehovah? What advice could you give me and how did it feel for you when you were baptised?

I know plenty of devout Christians, in fact quite a few entire Christian Churches that love and welcome gay and lesbian parishoners, even clergy.
I listened to Evangelical speakers discussing gay marriage, and they came away agreeing we deserve civil unions at a minimum, and always, respect as human beings.
my point is, your preacher may spit venom on gays and lesbians, but he is NOT CHRIST HIMSELF.
Ask yourself, What Would Jesus Do?
He sure wouldn't be protesting soldier's funerals to espouse God's wrath against America for coddling gays.

Ive always wondered about civilization before the flood, so I think we have had a couple thousand years since the flood to establish all that we have done so far, skyscrapers, cars, etc...

If im not mistaken they had much more time before the flood, so did they have all the things that we have now? or do our minds work differently from a technological stand point?

If they did have some of the technologies that we do now, where did it all go?

My boss uses my computer sometimes and when I was away she moved all the icons around to try to match to the formation of her own computer. I was stunned. I would like to know if my reaction is an over reaction. I realize she owns the computer but I would like to hear if you think I am overreacting.

...to them, does it make any sense to then answer them according to your own definition of the word?

I have said that I am an atheist that what I mean is that I don't believe in any gods. I think the universe and all around us has a natural explaination. This is how I describe my view all the time. Then someone comes on and says 'no you're redefining the term! If you say your an atheist it means (and I quote)
"Atheism says God doesn't exist. Prove it. Don't try to redefine atheism to say "it's a lack of belief in God" That's agnosticism. Atheism is the active belief that God doesn't exist."

And therefore since (according to him not me) since I 'actively believe' that god doesn't exist I should prove it.

Does this make any sense? Or is this guy just being absolutely arrogant to think he knows what is in my mind?

I just don't really think anything can really happen with one. Other than a trick of the Brain. It's just not logical. But I would like to know if anyone has really ever had an experience with one. I just think it's kind of far fetched.

Its humorous when people compare the incidents of 2006 to what happened during the spanish inquisitions or Salem. Nobody alive today had anything to do with that and couldn't change any of that if they wanted to. We can effect the outcomes of bad behavior today.

I'm really taking about a moment when you realised you couldn't continue any longer. Perhaps you had a sudden realisation or it was something building for a long time, but you just broke with the past right then and there...
