Is there really anything ethicaly wrong with a married priest?
Would there not be a reduction in the sexual scandals if priests were allowed to marry? Christ is christ but humans are always vulnerable to the earthly desires and sins of the flesh. By marriage, one removes the temptations for physical sin.. God is a just god and would understand our effort to overcome sin.

Would you choose a E list has been?

Would you misspell the name?

Would you post 1000 times a day?

Would you choose at random a really nice person and just attack them?

I've heard a few times about a holiday period referred to as "Little Christmas," and I'll never forget Judy Garland's rendition of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas." I think this either has something to do with New Yorkers or with the Catholics. Does this coincide with the Mexican celebration of "Los Tres Reyes?"

What is it with pink (colour), everything is pink,bags,cars, clothes,tellys, pets. It should be banned, its girly and disgusting. I also hate 'I am a Princess' car stickers. Please someone agree with me.

Generally people are good and follow the "rules". But why are you that way? What is the "main" reason that you don't steal, and murder?

Is it the fear of jail time?
Is it the fear of God and the afterlife?
Is it the fear of losing what you have (family/friends/the good life)?
Is it a "do unto others" approach?
Is it just that you've been taught not too?

I heard that it is haram (or a sin) to eat non-halal meat during Ramadan? Why? And also from what I've heard form my Islamic teacher in college, he says that eating non-halal meat in general is haram. Is this true?

Gender equality is undefined and suggests that the sexes are equal, they are not.

The intent is to promote equality under the law, or more precisely equitable treatment of all people.

That is if a person can do a job they should get the same pay, but more than that, if they do a better job they should get more pay, regardless of gender, or any other irrational factor, factors that don't influence the logic.

You must be careful we do discriminate against people, the blind cannot drive, the disable can't do certain things, but then again the able cannot do certain things if they can't do them.

Equality goes beyong logic to suggest that a husband and a wife, these two people are the same as two men, or two women, and this is where the logic is illogical. No man has ever given birth to a child and no woman has ever fathered a child.

So is the real term the equitable treatment of people and not the oversimplified confusing term of equality period ?

No di respuesta antes porque nos fuimos al campo por el feriado del 24 de Septiembre que fue de Sábado a Lunes, pero aquí estoy respondiendo muy contenta de saber que Gabriela sea la felicidad de tu vida, un hijo siempre es una Bendición de Dios y sobre todo la vida y felicidad de la madre..
Yo siento mucho que tú no la dejes venir con Diego a Bolivia, te comprendo como madre y sobre todo ; respeto tu decisión; tal vez algún día te animes cuando ella sea un poco más grande para que Diego la pueda traer; ó si tú quieres venir con ella, siempre serás bienvenida a nuestra casa; así conoces Bolivia y comparten con nuestras familias. Para mí fue muy triste escuchar esto que está sucediendo; porque yo como madre siempre soñé con tener nietos y amarlos de cerca con ese amor de abuela, me resignaré; ha amarla a Gabriela desde lejos y verla crecer por fotos o si algún día tengo la posibilidad de volver a visitarlas, lo haré con mucho gusto así chocheo con ella.
Yo no puedo intervenir en la vida de ustedes, ni obligar a Diego en la relación de ustedes como pareja, yo te deseo de todo corazón que tú reinicies tu vida y sobre todo que encuentres a la persona ideal para formar un hogar y que las quiera a Ti y a Gabriela; porque ambas se lo merecen.
Me dolió mucho cuando tu me pones en tu e-mail que no la mandarías a Gabriela con un extraño a Bolivia, yo creo que Diego no es un extraño para Gabriela, porque él es el padre y casi siempre va a la Guardería y comparte con ella, lamentablemente Diego con sus estudios no tiene mucho tiempo para estar con ella a tiempo completo , pero sí estoy segura que él la ama mucho, así lo vi y él lo demostró; durante los dos meses que yo estuve compartiendo con ustedes en Arkansas.
Tu sabes que Diego perdió la beca de la Universidad por no haberse dedicado a sus estudios a full time, pero ya eso pasó y ahora lo único que queremos es que Diego siga adelante y así salga lo antes posible profesional, porque la situación económica en Bolivia está muy mal y no sabemos hasta cuando podamos ayudar a Diego para estudiar allá. Bueno ya es un poco tarde y me tengo que ir a dormir; te deseo toda la suerte del mundo, cuídate mucho y será hasta cualquier otro momento

There is a woman at work who thanks Jesus all day. "Thank you Jesus for this meal" "Thank you Jesus for helping me find my keys" "Thank you Jesus for getting us all to work today safely" etc.... Is this a little too much? It is starting to interere with our work. Should I approach her?

Because modern man lacks substance. Our educational system has dumbed down our youth's intellects, and the entertainment media have dumbed down our consciences and sense of value. Today's television sitcoms appear to have been written by third-year high school freshmen with hormonal problems. Most television programming by the four major networks are nothing more than expeditions into vanity. Some thrive on sexual innuendoes (or worse) and vulgarities. Not much is presented that would cause a person to think, "I want to be moral" or "I must come to know God better than I do."

Many of the Jews in the first century were just as stubborn and resistant to the Truth as the ACLU is today. Both possess an unreasoning, irrational, rabid hostility towards Christianity which promotes goodness, decency, ethical integrity, and lofty moral values. Churches cannot correct society's problems when our current culture is doing everything it can to stifle their influence.

GET YOUR RELIGION UNDER CONTROL! YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS PUSHING YOUR BELIEFS ON ANYONE-YOU CAN NOT PROVE YOUR GOD EXISTS AND THEREFORE YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO PRESS YOUR VIEWS-IF JESUS WAS HERE, he isn't now, YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY-it is time for The US to hold a vote as to WE THE PEOPLE-I do not want to see OPINION polls that I consider rampart with CHRISTIAN influence used to state the view of the people-WE NEED TO VOTE-but I believe it would be far better to HAVE IRAQ VOTE-DO YOU WANT THE US THERE? Bush has no authority-he was elected PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY NOT IRAQ! He is a dictator to that country but you are so blind you do not see his countrol is what THE WORLD is Fighting-and why-because he professes to be A CHRISTIAN-seperate CHURCH and STATE NOW-YOUR GOD IS A KING AND KINGS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE US TO RULE-The world sees your stupidity as a vunerability-and you CHRISTIAN are killing MUSLIMs for Jews-based on a huge mistake WE THE PEOPLE made-Do you wonder why the world is P

I just read it and really, really enjoyed it. It isn't about religion necessarily although it does say the story told will "make you believe in God". But the wonderful part is that in the beginning Pi (a boy from India who by birth is Hindu) meets a priest and studies with him to become a Christian. Then he meets a Muslim teacher, obtains a prayer mat and prays with him every week. Then he meets a Hindu spiritual leader and prays with him every week.

When out in the market with his parents, Pi runs into all three of these men at the same time, each of them beaming with joy approach his clueless parents to tell them what a fine Christian/Hindu/Muslim boy he is. Everyone is angry until Pi tearfully blurts that Gandhi said, "All religions are true" and that he just wants to "love God" and what's wrong with that?

Everyone is struck mute because really what is there to say to that? Would anyone here be willing to study, love and practice several religions? It seems most would say no.
