Society & Culture - 13 October 2006

Christians have been some of the most blood thirsty, vengeance seeking people I have ever met. How do they reconcile that with their biblical teachings? And this isn't an anti-christian thing, I am honestly curious. I want to try to reconcile my belief in God to the cruel, pro-american, anti-everything that's not straight white america with a missile to blast the non-believers God that is paraded around right now. The majority of christians I've met have been the most uncompassionate, judgemental people, the same ones I imagine would have crucified Christ for teaching tolerance( now I guess they do it by voting) Someone tell me how the people Christ hung with are now disposable.

offensive representations of Christianity as the restraint that they have in not wanting to offend Muslims? Wouldn't it be fair to have the same standard of tolerance for each?

Our times aren’t so different than when he wrote that. Where is our civil disobedience for the war in Iraq, where is the protest for a corrupt government? What has happen to the backbone of our youth? I guess this should be on the political page and maybe I'll post it there also. Isn't anyone else pissed? When will it end?

Please do not stone me for asking this question. I'm not trying to be Anti-Semitic or offend anyone by asking this, but I was just curious to know. If you are Jewish, I would love to hear an answer from you.

Shabbat Shalom v Shavua Tov!

...that are appropriate between two female friends?

I have a Serbian friend that I would like to greet affectionately. I don't really know whether it's part of Serbian culture for women who care about each other to call each other by terms of endearment, but if so, please tell me some that would be appropriate.

I have a quick thought and question.
I was watching Bill O'Reilly on Fox News last night, and he had Gerardo Rivera on there. They where on the topic of Mel Gibson and his remarks about the Jews. Now through out the discussion, Gerardo said that there where two people that he could not forgive, and Mr. Gibson is one of them.

Why?
Because he did not ask!
Which he did come on T.V. and asked people to forgive him sometime back

Now to my Question.....
Does a person have to ask you to forgive them in order for you to forgive them?........Or can you forgive them and let the water continue under the bridge......
Thanks to all who answer
and God Bless you all
...........=)

Whats Happened to peace and love? Really, can't we all try and be better then that. I think the lyrics to Imagine speak across generations. Let me know what you think.

Imagine


magine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

When theocracy breeds revolution? Organized religion has always been corrupted by power. Even if Christianity took over the government, who's to say it won't fall prey to obsession like the architects of the Crusades, the Inquisition. Why not just leave government alone and be pure? Aren't your children enough? Why do you have to control America?

Anyone know the answer? Scientists and philosophers can't seem to define what life is. Even the Bible doesn't define what life is. It may have something to do with the soul. But, what then is the soul?

Jesus has already conquered satan and his principalities. At the Calvary, He destroyed the works of satan, stripped him of his power, and put His foot on his neck.
Jesus said " be hold, I gave unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy".

Many religions see abortion as murder and life as starting from conception, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism. Why does the political left only attack Christians for being pro-life?

My father died recently and I need to know if I will have to pay a death tax this coming tax season. Is this tax dependent on the value of the estate or any other factors? We are going to sell his house, but he had no other assets. The most we'll each get is about $12,000, if even that. He was disabled and on wellfare at the time. I always would ask him for tax information so I have no idea now.
