Society & Culture - 10 October 2006

You know, you have the 'popular people', 'nerd/geeks', 'emos' etc i was just wondering what your views on the subject and if anyone relates to it. I think that its a bunch of crap. I think that it doesnt really matter as long as u have good friends and a good education. You wont really see them anymore after highschool anyways.. only if ur work place was like that too?

I have read passionate post after passionate post from professed muslims proclaiming Aisha was Mohammed's 6 year old, 9 year old and 13 year old wife.

I have read contradicting posts that say she was handed over by her father in marriage and others that say she was a volunteer (at 6) desiring to be this old man's (some say he was 50, some say 40) gah! wife.

Some believers in Islam have said she didn't have sex with him until she was a WHOLE 9 YEARS OLD, though she married him at 6. Others say she had sex at 15. :::I'm going CROSS-EYED::::

All these contradictions and all from passionate Muslims who add the "PBU...stuff" after all their religious founder's names.

Why is it that you have all been told, passionatly by your spiritual leaders, all these different things? Why is it that you all can't seem to get the very beginning of your prophet's life figured out?

After having made an application addressed to the parish I have been baptized, in order to make the annotation on the baptized persons’ registry that I don't want to be considered Catholic anymore, the priest has answered after one month with a letter in which it’s written like this: "It is communicated to Mr... that in the baptized persons’ registry of this parish, as on his/her application required, in the date of ... has been recorded the defection from the faith." For those who don’t know what the word “defection” means, there is the definition:1 the state of having rejected your religious beliefs or your political party or a cause; 2 failure, lack, loss. The fact is that I haven’t asked to annotate that I abdicate the faith, because I do have it and there is nothing that can make me renounce it. Is this a loyal and legal behavior? Even if you’re not a priest, your opinion is appreciated.

1. Anything as X as the Universe must have been created
2. God was not created
3. therefore, God is less X than the Universe

If you're a Christian, I assume that you believe statement #2, and if you believe in ID, presumably you can find an adjective (perfect, wondrous, etc.) that can be used to replace the X in statement #1 to create a statement which you believe, such as "anything as wondrous as the Universe must have been created". If you replace the X in statement #3 with the same adjective, logic dictates that either the resulting statement ("God is less wondrous than the Universe" in my example) is true, or that statement #1 or #2 is actually false.

Would anyone care to either 1) refute my logic, or 2) give me a value for X which creates three statements above, all of which you believe?

This is just a theoretical question, lets say, this person were tested, and you would use protection. Would you have sex with them for 5 million? Would you encourage your partner if they were in your shoes... is money just money?

i don't know about you, but for me, there is no such thing as free will. and yes, I do call my self Christian, incidentally. how weird. I just think that whatever we do in this life, whatever choices we make, there is this force that will trigger us to do as it says. i mean, in the end, everything will all boil down to the will of that force.

seriously, do you think I should reassess my faith?

If a person was on a deserted island, or in life threatening danger, or some other special circumstance, would it be ok for them to self-baptize?

In other words, if this person was alone and allowed God to baptize them in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, with water, would this be a valid baptism?

And if not, why? Are there any Bible quotes or other resources that say that one must be baptized by another person, or another Christian?

FBI agents still lack Arabic language skills
Only 33 of 12,000 have some proficiency
By Dan Eggen
Five years after Arab terrorists attacked the United States, only 33 FBI agents have even a limited proficiency in Arabic, and none of them work in the sections of the bureau that coordinate investigations of international terrorism, according to new FBI statistics.
Counting agents who know only a handful of Arabic words -- including those who scored zero on a standard proficiency test -- just 1 percent of the FBI's 12,000 agents have any familiarity with the language, the statistics show.
The numbers reflect the FBI's continued struggle to attract employees who speak Arabic, Urdu, Farsi and other languages of the Middle East and South Asia, even as the bureau leads a fight against terrorist groups primarily centered in those parts of the world. The same challenge is facing the CIA and other agencies.
