Society & Culture - 31 October 2006

Scientific research has expanded our knowledge of the universe and the place of the human species within it. Human inquiry is now able to advance and to have its findings confirmed by science and reason, while the metaphysical and theological speculations of the past have made little or no progress. The discoveries of astronomy, physics, relativity theory, and quantum mechanics have increased our understanding of the universe — from the scale of micro-particles to that of galaxies.

So what has religion done for humanity besides hold back progress in medicine and knowledge. Or be a reason for war?

I am not interested and am as straight as the day is long. Doesn't no mean no and not yes? Don't people understand no? What part of it is it that they don't understand? I still like a certain guy I have always liked. It's like platinum blondes going after me. Never dated one, only dark blondes, brunettes and redheads.

I am wondering what people's real opinion is of missionary workers, and of the work they are doing. Do they really feel that it is a calling to this type of work or that they are just doing nothing? I believe it is very important and that it is at times work that does not receive a lot of credit, what do you think?

For about 3 years, I foolishly worshiped the devil. I recently saw the error of my ways, and converted to the Church of Alvis after witnessing a miracle. (I won't bore you with the details, you had to be there). Alvis is the holiest man to ever slap iron, he killed for your sins.
So how did you come to your religious beliefe or lack there of?

for those who thinks the american army r heros because they went to iraq and killed inoccent ppl,have u ever looked for the real meanin of a hero?i thought hero is a person who tries to protect somethin/someone he loves for example if the american army was in thier country fightin against bombers than that's a hero but not goin all the way to iraq and kill inoccent ppl and we still call them heros
and the same wiv bin laden i think if he wanted to be a hero he could go and fight in pals atleast it's a muslim country not go all the way to usa and kill inoccent ppl
who agrees in what am sayin?those who disagree plz tell me why
