Society & Culture - 26 October 2006

So much of what people think they know is due to what some one told them. Is getting the real truth so hard? Most of what people know about religions other than their own they get from other people who don't know anything about that religion either. The same can be said for matters of race, nationality and even sexuality.

in the past while making love, he mentioned how's your "penis" feeling and bring your "penis" around here. He has been struggling with ED and I wonder is he a gay man pretending to be straight? Should I divorce him?

I am trying to find my true self and live a Christian lifestyle. My problem is letting go of anger. I was abused growing up and had a father who's only way of communicating was yelling, throwing something across the room, hitting, punching, and calling myself, my sister, and I horrible names. My parents divorced three years ago and since then my Mom has become very ill mentally. She has always struggled, throughout my childhood, with bipolar disorder, neediness, and obsessive compulsive disorder; however, when she tried living alone, after my Dad left it just didn't work out so human services removed her from her home into a group home two years ago. I have so much anger and hate in me and blame my Dad for what my Mother has been going through; however, to truly live a Christian lifestyle I must forgive my Dad and move on. How can I do this? I have lifted up the phone several times to call him, but I can't bring myself to do it.

I think it would be cool to heal people by pushing there head back like on tv. I also want to exersiseing the demons running around trick or treating, or throwing holy water on people to heal them and vaquish the vampires. I could ask people to confess before they get any candy, or have the young boys do tricks to get treats.

I saw tonight that an African American female Christian had said something to effect of someone being an "ugly atheist." If you are really a Christian, why not let God to the judging and keep your mouth shut? Just curious!

I have just noticed whilst trying to find a rental that most real estate agents are so rude. they do not care to be polite at all. they should be helping not repelling people away. in saying all this, i work in customer service and i am always polite even when some customers are really rude to me (because they are paying for something, they think they can treat us in a certain way)

I have two twin baby girls, and decided that this year for halloween I was going to dress them up in matching costumes and put my 6 yr old daughter in a costume that went along as well. I chose to make my twin daughters ketchup and mustard and my older daughter a hot dog. My eldest son says he is too old for halloween.
But my husband says that it is "cruel and unusual punishment" to dress the babies up in these costumes.. he wants them to be pumpkins or ghosts (my older daughter picked the hot dog before I chose the ketchup and mustard)
Other parents- Who do you think is right?
General people- do you think it is a cute idea?

If a person doesn't believe that truth exists, are they confirming their fact by stating that "yes, it is true, that truth doesn't exist"?

Is 'In God We Trust' our national moto ? If so, has it always been so ? If not, when did it become so. I might be wrong, but doesn't it come from those that say skedule and have a habor ?

They way I see it, according to Christianity, we're all damned by original sin because Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge. But if this story isn't literally true, what do we need to be saved from?

I have a question that may seem a little stupid: do people of all cultures around the world celebrate Halloween? I was told, today, that only the US and Canada recognize it and celebrate it, and then I got to thinking of the Harry Potter series (which is set in England) and how I thought that Halloween was mentioned somewhere along the story.....can anyone help me out here?

Just curious what the different genders feel about this question. Ok there's more to it. I was recently told about a situation ( I haven't confirmed if it's true but souds possible) about a man who was accused by a girl of looking down her top while she was working behind a food counter serving coffee and donuts. I was informed (if it really happened) the poloce went to the mans house and charged him. (Not sure with what maybe harrassment). In my province a few years back (Ontario Canada) a girl won the right for women to walk around topless if they so desired as the courts declared breasts were not sexual objects. Just wonder what you all think about this.
