Society & Culture - 2 October 2006

in the last week there have been two tragic school shootings, one in colorado, and now one in pennsylvania's amish country.
and last month there was one in montreal.
and in the last few years there have been several shootings at US high schools.
WHAT IS GOING ON?
What is wrong with american civilization that this keeps happening?

And do you want to know what each of these gunmen had in common? they were all white males! they are the true terrorist threat to America! how are we going to protect ourselves from these madmen?

The perception is that the servant of God was excommunicated because he incorporated indigeneous African practices into Catholic mass and practiced mass exorcism. My problem is the undestanding of the unwelcomed African practices and this notion of mass exorcism. I welcome answers that will explain the very reasons that can make such a figure in the Vatican to be excommunicated and latter lead such a person to dump his belief and decide to marry.

A path to live a righteous life. Is it the God of the universe or prophets and messengers that one surrenders to? What if one believes In a creator but not in those who came along to bring messages which just may be all corrupted as pple tend to distort messages that might have been pure initially? A trust In a Powerful God with a distrust for people. A message of truth or half truths? who is it one surrenders to? who is it one worships?

Preface: We all have our own beliefs, I'm not judging yours so don't judge mine.

*I believe there was a man named Jesus and he DID die for what he believed in, but it really has no effect on my life or my "afterlife."

*I believe the books of the bible were written as fables intended to show people how to live good, decent lives.

*I don't believe that Jesus rose from the grave, I believe his corpse was stolen or lost.

*I don't believe that Mary got pregnant without having intercourse.

*I don't believe in Satan.

*I don't believe in God spiritually, but I do believe there is a possibility that a being could exist in the fourth dimension, a being like that would seem divine to us.

*I don't believe in the afterlife, or Heaven & Hell. I believe that when we die, that's it... the end.

*I don't believe that Jesus could perform miracles, what people witnessed were illusions/tricks.

There's more, but those are the big ones. So, what religion does this match up with?

Rather than telling me why you prefer tampons or why belts are not your favorite, can women (thanks anyway guys) who have used them or do use them tell me WHY they have tripled in sales in the past 5 years to younger women? There must some compelling reason, or they would not be increasing in sales. What good about them?

Isn't is a paradox?!?! The world's most enlightened person professing the concept of "no-God" to all mankind.

Then what for did he renunciate? why did he practise 'ahimsa'? and why did he initiate disciples?

We all know that Max Muller, Mme Blavatsky, Dr. Annie Besant and the likes were strong votaries of Indian philosophy and religion.

'The Beatles' were also the disciples of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Yehudi Menuhin practised yoga at the feet of BKS Iyengar. Michael Jackson considers Deepak chopra as his 'guru'. Dr.David Frawley is a peerless Vedic scholar and a convert to Hinduism.

Richard Gere is a convert to Buddhism and rockstar Tina Turner too dabbled with Buddhist meditations.

More and more westerners are getting attracted to Hinduism and Indian philosophy.

But why? ! ? !
