Society & Culture - 4 October 2006

On these boards, religious types often say things like "Science cant "prove" evolution, therefore god must have created the world".

Along side that, they will say "You cannot prove the existence of god, you must have faith. God created the world"

IS IT ME? WHAT AM I MISSING HERE?

Steven Hawking is currently writing a book due out in 2008 on "why we have a universe." What I don't know about Hawking, is if he believes in God, or a particular religion at all.

He's known as one of the smartest people alive... I wouldn't mind knowing his opinion.

I one of my earlier questions I mentioned that my pet vietnamese potbellied pig, named Gordon, might have homosexual tendencies.

Because we are new to Denver, we are wanting to meet new friends, and so yesterday we invited over Mr Irwin, a retired accountant. My wife made sandwiches, and Mr Irwin was telling us about double entry book keeping.

Without warning, Gordon mounted Mr Irwins leg and rutted, in an state of arousal.

Normally Gordon loses interest if you fake an orgasm. But although we were urging this advice, Mr Irwin just wasnt getting it. In the end, my wife and I managed to pull Gordon off, but not before he had left a stringy deposit on Mr Irwins trousers.

Rev Falwell says homosexuality between two human beings is a sin.

Is it homosexuality if it is between a pig and a man?

Can a priest deprogramme Gordon?

We want you to know that we have given Gordon much love and care; we cant understand this at all.

It looks like I am going to get a job at a local garden centre as Father Christmas (OK ... Santa, to all you ex-pats who live in the States!). Now Father Christmas (or Santa) is a bit scarey but there is something between scarey and kind which all the best Santas are.

What ideas do you have? As a kid, what scared you and what would have made FC/Santa seem sort of OK? If you have been a Santa/FC, what advice would you have for a newbie?

Since man was made in the image of God, then does it follow that plants and animals are made in the image of angels? And is the earth itself perhaps made in the image of heaven?

Consider this - your sponse is on their death bed and have only a very short time left. You are with them and they ask one last question. "Honey, you know how important truth and fidelity are to me. Tell me, please - Have you ever been unfaithful to me?"

Now, unfortunately, the truth is "yes" so what do you say?

Christian and Muslim believed that Jesus will return in Mount Olives, in Armageddon the last battle of good and evil will happen. My question, what will be the role of Mohammed during this time?

I do not mean to be mean here but lets keep it real. Most women lose most of their sexual attractiveness by 40 or 45. A man can potentially get young women up until he dies. You hear about the old CEO or President knocking up his 25-year-old secretary all the time. How often do you hear about a 25-year-old dude getting busted carrying on an affair with his 50-year-old female boss? Women also lose the ability to bear children between 40 and 50. Men will continue to produce baby-making material until the day they die. Maybe a man should be able to have several wives.

I just read about this study in the latest Allure:

http://www.bath.ac.uk/news/articles/research/barbie161205.html

“The meaning of ‘Barbie’ went beyond an expressed antipathy; actual physical violence and torture towards the doll was repeatedly reported, quite gleefully, across age, school and gender.”

“The girls we spoke to see Barbie torture as a legitimate play activity, and see the torture as a ‘cool’ activity in contrast to other forms of play with the doll.

“The types of mutilation are varied and creative, and range from removing the hair to decapitation, burning, breaking and even microwaving.”

It made me laugh, because I certainly did it--branding with matches, scalping her, tattooing her with a ballpoint pen--and then my kid brother finished my five Barbies off. :-)

Opinions, stories, insights?

I'm having a joint birthday party with a friend of mine in November at a local Mexican restaurant. I'm getting ready to send out the invitation email in a few weeks, and I want to make sure that everyone knows that neither I nor my friend expect gifts. We just want everyone to have fun and come hang with us. I'm afraid if I mention the gift thing in the email, however, it'll almost sound like I'm sort of fishing for gifts. You know? How would you phrase it?

The irrational, circular arguments, created ad hoc to prop up predetermined beliefs... it would all be fine if they didn't have agendas that affect me and my children.

I dont want to say wish, because in reality wish means, you want something that you think your not going to get. But hope is trusting and believing that you will get it. So what do people Hope for? Please dont say cars or money, if you do clarify why.

Thanks for your answers.
