Society & Culture - 14 September 2006

I went to the library today looking for books on buddhism. Although, buddhism isn't really a religion, I want to impliment it in my life. So, I couldn't find any Buddhism books so I asked the lady at the front desk "Do you have any books on Buddhism?"
SHe started laughing along side another lady that was standing beside her, and she said "Honey, I don't think so" while still laughing. And I was standing there, wondering WTH was so funny?!?!

I find this helpfull in two ways. I can now read the Bible on my pc with great light behind it. And I can leave my personal Bible at church. This is a free download if anyone would like it.

A short time ago I asked a question about the Flying Spaghetti Monster and I was amazed to discover that atheists and agnostics appear to have no understanding of when or why this parody was created.

and asked to talk to someone about the quite limited response by Y!A about gay bashing, slurs, threats, religious spamming... would it do much good?

Ok, I don't have time today, but it's crosses my mind periodically. :)

If Christians are so against abortion, then why won't they approve of homosexual couples adopting children? Every state is filled with children who want and need loving homes. Why then do bigots who scream abortion is wrong, also won't let these unfortunate children have loving homes by homosexuals? It doesn't make sense.

The Bible seems to say that I can have slaves, but I never see any Christians in my town with slaves. Someone explain to me please.

"Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life."
- Leviticus 25:44

"Bid slaves to be submissive to their masters and to give satisfaction in every respect; they are not to be refractory, nor to pilfer, but to show entire and true fidelity."
- Titus 2:9

I mean, I ask about Noah and I hear all about animals being saved because they where innocent without sin. Then what happens when a dog humps another male dog? If that Dog is gay, isn't he committing a sin? If not, why are Christian's always bashing gay people? If dogs, cats, and monkeys can all do these gay acts - why not man or woman?

Originally, atheists argued that if one accepts the existence of God with little to no evidence, then one is obligated to accept the existence of any preposterous idea like the idea of a Flying Spaghetti Monster.

But the problem is that I don't see much interest in the idea of a Flying Spaghetti Monster from believers in God. Many, if not all of the posts about the FSM are from atheists and agnostics. It appears to me that it is holding the positions of either atheism or agnosticism which condemns one to fruitless discussions about Flying Spaghetti Monsters.
