Society & Culture - 29 September 2006

I generally make these letters short and to the point, but now they ask for "at least 15 lines", so how long should the final letter be? I want to come across as motivated, not as one desperate human beeing (I always get this impression when I read long sample letters with lots of arguments on why people should get the job).

I mean EVERYTHING. From you tripping over a rug or something after saying a curse word, or from someone dying in your family.

As in many rural parishes we have lost our village school (which provided a makeshift village community centre) , church attendance is falling and the there should be potential to modify the large village church to accommodate a sort of community centre. Examples of successful modifications would help - also any guidance on possible grants etc available.

Oh yeh God thats right just make God feel good thats all you gotta do. how could i have been so stupid....Why is everyone too lazy to deal with their own inadequacies by saying that God is the answer. All i want is REAL answers for a change.

Many people on this board state they used to be Christian but converted to Atheism...or used to be Muslim but converted to Christian. Or used to be Christian and converted to Muslim, or Wicca, Pagan or Pagan to Muslim...How can you even understand a religion when you treat them like a booty call? How many swap religions when you swap partners? How many are so weak in thier faith that they go with what ever their "lover" is doing? Or is it an attention sort of thing...Oh Mommy I'm going to be an Atheist so you will pay attention to me.....

do you feel that everyone should choose a "sexuality side"? are you turned off by anything that doesn't fit into gay or straight? is it that anyone who isn't totally straight is gay, and anyone who isn't totally gay is straight? it seems that people (both gay and straight) are more understanding of each other, than someone who seems to embrace true sexuality. or maybe i don't know what the h3ll i'm talking about.

Should rape be made illegal? Rape of men by women we're talking of..... At the moment a male victim has to pay his abuser 18 years of 'child
support'.

For those who condone rape; just turn it around and say that it should
happen to women too. How's it sound now?

Fear does *not* stop an erection, and even if it could then Viagra would leave the man totally at the mercy of his attacker.

I just recently moved into my own apartment, and one of the perks is getting to have my own Isis altar to work with without making family members feel uncomfortable (or even if they didn't, I would in front of them).

I know Isis is loving and forgiving (oh, I know), and I'm not worried about "angering" her by using the wrong corresponcences, but I want to create the best altar I can - so what candle color/scents, objects, animals, materials, offerings, anything, hehe, would be most fit for an Isis altar?
Right now, I have lotus, myrrh, frankincense, and rose musk incense, a small piece of lapis lazuli, and.... I think that's it, hehe.

Would anyone be able to give me some ideas?

thanks in advance!

Sorry, but being neither Christian nor Muslim, but rather believing in Peace, I was amazed by the Christian woman defending all the actions of the war by Bush including turture . It seems to me the "fanatical" fundamentalist Christians are not far behind strapping bombs to their bodies in order to whipe out the Muslisms. To think that any religion has the answer to it all, with so many people in the world believing so many different things is so sad to me. And to think that Jesus came down to earth to teach us anything other than to love one another is outrageous to me. And to think that God actually wrote the bible (come on, it was written by humans with a whole bunch of hearsay and story telling) and now we are going to have bible camps in which children are told to wage war(no matter how the lady likes to put it, war has a negative violent meaning)
Please, christians and non-christians, can anyone see what I am seeing. Does the bible not teach as well about turning the other chee

Are we afraid that what they teach is true but are unwilling to accept that we are not in control so we slam the door in their faces.
Sort of like bullies at school who have problems with themselves and decide to take it out on little Jonathan....I mean think about, it must take something pretty GOOD (faith) to give them the courage to turn up at your door when they know the world cup is on tv huh'...

If this sounds like a naive question, it probably is.

The reason I ask is because there is a guy I sort of know that I want to network with regarding a job. He is a Sikh (and I'd assume he's practicing seeing that he wears a turban, etc).

Ideally in these situations, which will be casual, I suggest we grab a beer after work together to discuss, but I really don't know anything about their religion, and it's policy towards drinking.

I don't want to come across as naive.

Any insight?
