Society & Culture - 26 October 2006

Has anyone noticed that many people on Yahoo! Answers ask questions about what to do in serious situations and a lot of the answerers suggest that they be less than truthful? That isn't even as bad as the fact that being a liar is apparently now socially acceptable...lying is even averted to as the right thing to do in certain situations. What happened?

If christianity was such a great religion they whould help others without resorting to disrespect of other religions by trying to push thier religion onto them. If christianity was so great then why have so many non christians been beaten to death or burned to death by christians? If christianity is so great, then why do christians make excuses for the bad ones?

you know those people that stand on the street and hand out the new testament? how come they never give out the old testament, what's the deal with that?

Ok, here is the deal:

You are granted either exceptional beauty/handsomeness - (we are talking "Smokin' Hot!"

OR

You can be granted the most creative, intelligent, witty mind, (comparable to Einstein)

Which would you choose?

as a Muslim i must say this man is being a extremist. and Islam does not condone such speech. he should know that even women in full veil (face veil) get raped too not just the unveiled women.

I fail to understand how someone can look at Mount Rushmore, and know instantly that somebody designed and created it, and instantly rule out millions of years of erosion. Yet, when they look at the complexity of the human body, they come up with the conclusion that no creator exists.

If you wanted to know where Mount Rushmore came from, you'd consult a history book, you certainly wouldn't go and study the present facts and try to base your conclusion solely on that. You'd be wrong!

Likewise, if you wanted to know where humans came from, what point is there in studying only what you see today? If God exists, he was there, He should know! Did he write about it? YES, That's why we study the Bible, and not "man-made" ideas that change every couple of years.

That's all, comments welcome!

I have had incounters with Spirits ever since i was little.I was taken to the hospital and the doctors did every kind of test but couldn't find anything abnormal about me.I had been taken to a Church and been given a Exorcism..Long story..but with nothing found in the test my mother said it must be "spirits". I explained to her who i would see and what the Voices would say,together we took the imformation to the Courthouse and looked up the historical Documents. Sure enough the people in the Pictures matched with the Spirits i had seen (and still see)..one was of a Spirit of a woman who had built the house we had moved into.she would walk through the hall ways as if looking for someone.and sometimes i would see her in the garden.
My next door neighbor at the time was 100yrs old and i went over to her house to visit her and do some chores for her. she would tell me stories of when she was little..and then she mentioned "Emma" the woman who lived in my house a long time ago...etc
