Society & Culture - 12 September 2006

I think this web page is ever insightful. It tells about Abraham and his sons Isaac and Ishmael. Ishmael was his 1st son born to him by his wife's handmade, Hagar. His wife, Sarah, conceived a son named Isaac. Since Ishmael was born 1st, some arabs believe he has the right to the promise land, not Isaac. But God told Abraham he will give his conventant to Isaac not Ishmael.....So in theory, Isaac represents Christainty and Ishmael represents Islam....Very Interesting....the entire website is also!!!!

this site is not for entertainment and it sickens me to see people not asking legit questions.

It's a surprise party, and although she is not a close friend, I see her at least twice a month. I really don't want to do the "bottle of booze" gift, as everyone will be giving her that. I thought about 50 scratch off Lottery Tickets, but thought that would be too costly for an aquaintance. Does anyone have any inexpensive ideas for me? I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

You based your conclusion on reasoning and you claim that reasoning is based on logic. What is your so-called logic based on by which you deny Jesus? It's dependant on some axioms and hypothesis. You are actually blindly believing those hypothesis. But did you ever consider
those secular hypothesis? They can't be proved. For example:
hypothesis no-1:
A cannot be equal to B and not equal to B simultanously.
But this hypothesis is faulty bcoz--A just not only change in space
but in time also. So it can even not be identified with itself in changing space-time, but it might be B in some instant--if B is actually a space-time state of A. So, ur hypotheses are incomplete.
example of Biblical Hypothesis:
(1)True word of God. Proved by all it's miracles, winesses and predictions.(2) God can be in three states simultanously and it is proved.

A storm is brewing in the sky,
The air is cool and sweet.
It whispers to me things will change,
That all is imcomplete.
There is a peacefulness amid the wild
And blustering winds that blow.
I need not fear within this life,
These things I simply know.
Some find these storms unsettling,
Some fear and dread the rain.
I openly embrace them.
There is joy found only in pain.
Why do storms hold such beauty?
How do they calm my soul?
They feed my restless spirit,
That is all I know.
So blow sweet winds around me.
I love thy cool embrace.
Content I am to be here,
Until I behold His face.

I'm a senior in highschool this year and as a part of my AP English 12 class we have to do a senior project of mastery. This project can involve pretty much anything, no boundries. My passion in high school has been foreign languages, I'm in German French and Spanish this year, but I love German the most, so I want my project to involve the German language in some way, but I'm fresh out of ideas and the sooner we get started with our projects the better. Anyone out there have any ideas you think might be able to help me?

for school i have to right a poem on how i feel about sept.11.
tell me what you think.

[in the begining i plan on writing the pldege of alligence]


Our people held hands and slowly bowed their heads in memory.
Slow tears came rolling down our mourning faces.
You told me that everything would be okay.
And that Busch would see us threw this depressing plague.
I squeezed your hand a little tighter.
As he made the speech I then realized that even he doesn’t have a plan.
At first I thought our country would crash down.

Scapegoats and predigests sound like a recipe for destruction.
Suicide bombers, 4th amendment being ignored, hostages.
What ever happened to “I pledge allegiance to the flag”?

People wanting our country to fall to pieces.
Not being able to have dependable homeland security.
What ever happened to “and to the republic [for which it stands]”?

People became suspicious of immigrants from the middle-east.
We made names and jokes about people we know nothing about.
What ever happened to “Liberty and justice for all”?


Did we forget about the previous wars?
Fundraisers and concerts that were made to stop the violence?
Our country needs help and fighting will not solve anything.
We need someone’s shoulder to lean on.
No deceit or a shoulder that we have to bribe to lean on.
What ever happened to “one nation under god, indivincible”?

I am personally a Mohawk/Ojibway indian and i have had some thoughts on the manner. Although this is mostly a case that arises in the States some indian reservations approve of these casino's and others dont. My ancestor's lived through the land and never argued over the value, in otherwords the Earth was our mother and we kept it sacred. I know the casino's are run and managed by the tribes, but very little money returns to the community.

I dunno. I sometimes think when I talk to some of the people at church, I feel that they are sometimes a bit extreme. Then I start to have doubts about myself. I never doubt God, but I wonder if some things that other Christians do are extreme.
