Society & Culture - 6 September 2006

Okay, how many shows do we have that are about solving murder mysteries? How many times do we see people get beaten, raped, and murdered every night on television and in movies? Adults point at children for playing "violent video games" but no one says anything about the television shows and movies that involve ADULTS murdering people.

It seems to me that most christians dont believe the Bible and what it says,and dont take it literal and dont follow it, so how can they expect an atheist to do the same? why would an atheist believe something most "christians" dont believe. How can you tell an atheist they have to live Godly when some christians are cursing you out at the drive thru at McDonalds?

It doesnt suprise me that there so many atheist and agnostics and why alot of them dont like christians very much.

There is science that proves that god created the world is false. We have fossils that prove dinosaures walked the earth which are not mentioned in the bible!!! And it is biologically impossible for Mary to get pregnant. I am not disagreeing with people having faith but want to know how the church justifies such hard evidence that God does not exist.

Do you get bored reading them?

How long do people stay here at this site since most of these religious opinions are cyclic.

Do you feel like a dog chasing its tail and get irritated because you can't catch it?

Who am I?

Why am I here?

Can I learn anything from this site?

Who's your Daddy?

Did I say that?

Is this stupid? -- Why yes I do believe it IS and guess what...I don't care!

Do you?

I usually always do but, do not act on it. I wonder what it would be like to have sex with some random person. It might be wrong but, I do not wish to do so.

I have asked dozens of questions with biblical references and it seems that some christians dont even believe what the bible says.

God may have created us, but he never helps us. Our selfish prayers do not work, and the church only feeds itself. All that love for God…you could be giving it to the world.

I keep reading where everyone act like everyone in the world have always known about Islam. I myself have only just heard of it in the last maybe 2 years and only for the bad it has done. I have yet to see the good parts. So how long have you known of the existents of Islam? I guess I have heard one thing good but it was not Islam, it was Hezbollah giving money away to gain followers acting like it was for the people of Lebanon to rebuild on. When really a payment for services.

Answer any part of my statement but really all I wanted to find out was how long have the US public known of Islam and maybe other parts of the world know of the religion?

Hi there, i have met a lovely Spanish guy, problem is his English is very limited and so is my Spanish! This makes it hard to communicate at times, particularly as i am back here in England and he is in Spain-even more so over the phone as i cannot read his body language etc! I will write him a letter and would like to tell him that he means a lot to me, and that he is in my thoughts. There is no other man that interests me..... (sorry if this sounds soppy!) any ideas would be gratefully received! Why is it when you find yourself the perfect partner there seems to be a technical hitch?!

Why should I not do the things I enjoy doing now simply on the off chance there is a god of some sort? It would be like choosing not learning to drive in case I have a crash somewhere down the line.
And I am looking for reasoned arguement not lots of quotations or the 'because you should' or 'because else you will go to hell' brigade. Lets try to have sensible and reasonable discussion. My mind is open.

The Creator give the people It's ways and laws, then, UPSET with the people said, "Go multiply"

The first sin was that Adam and Eve had sex, so they became aware that they were naked, and it was said, "The man will suffer the burden of providing and the woman will have to GIVE BIRTH, and will have to do it in pain. That's what that meant. Isn't that a discouragement to reproduce.

Look this up under marraige. Marriage is good, but when the time comes everyone must be as a child; meaning they must be pure, innocent, a virgin, refraining from sex.

People have children for selfish reasons, such as to have someone to take care of them, not because they actually want to have children.

If the creator wanted multitudes It would have made them. That's why death exist and that's why we will destroy ourselves. That's why are disease from sex. That's why the woman after a certain age become baren and the man important; it's preperation for death.

Those saved, are not defiled.

….almost all sins are animal instinct and virtues are descriptions of when we overcome and keep those instincts in check with our higher cognition? Do you think that religions may have been a way for societies to reward people who were able to show self discipline and not give in to instinct by giving them a pat on the back (calling them virtuous) and promising them rewards after death for their self control?
