Society & Culture - 13 September 2006

Hello. I just wrote a question about becoming prolife and I was surprised as to how many people seem to think that as Christians, we should "let others make up their own mind" as to whether or not to terminate their pregnancies i.e. kill their babies. Some people even thought the issue was just about government involvment--not even about saving lives!!!!

I just want to ask pro-choicers who consider themselves Christian, when you die and meet Jesus face to face, he may say to you "I was vulnerable and you did nothing to protect me. I was being aborted and you did not pray for me and my parents. I was murdered while you sat idly by and said nothing in my defense." You may say, "Lord, when did I see you vulnerable or murdered and did nothing to help you?" But Jesus tells us that he will reply "I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these brothers, you did not do for me." (Matthew 25)

Christians, please give this some serious thought. Thank you!

Before you give your point of view do you read the entire Bible and study the word?

Or are you just basing your answers on the pieces you've read or heard about in church?

I was at a restaurant waiting on tables, but got bumped off the roster to let a friend of the family waitress. The owner insisted they set me up with a greeters job, but now the female manager on my shift keeps referring to me as a "hostess" even though I am a guy and telling people to go and see me over at the "hostess podium" and so on. There isn't much work in these areas, but I applied for another job. They wrote to this restaurant and while they didn't show me the letter they did ask about the "hostess" job I had, which makes me wonder what she said.

Now to make it totally worse, she has made a rule that the greeters have to greet everyone the same way.. "My name is x and I am your hostess this evening" - she took me aside and told me that if I didn't say it, she could get rid of me. Firstly is this true?

Second, even if I get another job, will she be able to keep writing that I was a hostess to potential employers- it just bugs me more than anything.

very popular,

Ive seen a football player on here, some other famous person, and sainsbury asking questions,

I thought this was only for the public, like chats are, but I think famous people and big companies need answers because they cant speak to people face to face or someone will beat them up

I've never seen it before if it exists. I don't get why a lot of Muslims are so upset that people don't view Islam as a "religion of peace", when Muslims are constantly on CNN, and your local newspapers having blown up people in the name of their "peaceful religion". I agree there are a lot of fanatical Christians and Jews. However, whenwas the last time a pissed off Rabbi or a Christian monk held a few aircraft hostage with a bowie knife, blew up about 700 people in a business plaza, or committed mass suicide in the name of their God, and "peaceful religion"?

I don't accept or follow any religion, but so far as peaceful goes...I'll have to say the Buddhists are the closest to this notion. One could argue..."oh, they do martial arts". Ok, let's keep it real. I'm talking about blowing up masses of people and maiming innocents.

No one has yet to prove Islam is a peaceful religion. Anyone can purchase a Koran and read all the passages about killing non-beleivers. Save the drama.

only God is supposed to judge but since men use GOD in times new roman font to justify their killing they kill in the name of God like He is the law.

Means anyone that says God is the LORD is lying.

means god is the code (ie criminals code)

cause if God is LORD GOD that makes HIM human. like God is 1 and true and pure. All which symbolically describe Me.

So thats why assholes say their is no living God. Cause they saw my picture and realized for the first time in their life" I am not better looking than LORD GOD TODD. So english encouraged the indians to rebel through St. Lawrence of arabia just like they encourage OSAMA to hit NYC like english shelling the NATIVES (ie NYC gang) in Gangs of New York.

America when will you wake up and realize

I bartend part time and we occasionally have fights. Sometimes it's a small scuffle, and other times blood is flying. My strategy is to try to get things under control from behind the bar by turning the music down and trying to get everyone's attention. If that doesn't work, I come out from behind the bar and yell and shake my finger at them. Usually some of my good customers will step in and help me break it up. If it appears it is not going to break up soon and I see blood, I call the police. It's a small bar in a small town and there's only one officer on duty. I only call him as a last resort. Customers tell me I'm crazy for stepping into the middle of a fight, and others tease me if I call the police. I should mention I work by myself and I'm under 5 feet tall, so it's not like I can throw these guys around. Why can't we all just get along?

Even in the absense of any proof of being mistreated? Is this just a sham, false publicity and media hype of the old times for gains?

I really don't get that at all. Women's right to choose is a human right, as is love and marriage.
