Society & Culture - 3 November 2006

Information is widely available for free , is it really neccesary to teach millions of kids each and every year exactly the same things from exactly the same books .

Why don't we instead encourage free thought and help individuals reach the peak of their own particular intelligence by teaching them how to find the information they need , rather than telling them what we think they need to know ?

...Whether you're a born-again Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Buddhist, or anywhere in between; do you feel strong enough of your views to die for it?
...Many, many people throughout history died gruesome deaths for their religious, philosophy, and cultural beliefs.
...Unfortunately, I am not that strong. How about you?

A buddy of mine sent me this web address. I looks extremely fair in that Muslims and Arabs are allowed to speak for themselves. It also spells out that "Most Muslims do not support terror". Even so, it's shocking.

Have a look at the film and tell me if you are in agreement that we are facing Hitler all over again. Only this time, with the religious spin, the climax could well be far worse. Which begs the question, "How do we stop it effectively?" Given Iraq, it doesn't appear that the military option is working all that well, so what do we do?!

Just wondering did she effect you in a spiritual way, even though this is a religious forum and not meant to be a place to voice those opinions about your beliefs, or else you may have to use another name. Do you agree is this a spiritrual forum?
I wish you well. If you know who I am just say wink

When the New Testament was being pulled together, this book was almost rejected by the "official" canon, and was noted as disputed by others....was almost rejected again in a later vote; and finally was declared by Martin Luther to be "neither apostolic nor prophetic".

Why is there such an obsession with a book that almost was never included in the Bible, is so different from the other books John supposedly wrote, and was rejected by many early influential Christian leaders????

Could it be because I'm shy and there aren't many shy people around these days? I really don't understand..it's not that i'm terribly weird or anything, just shy.
And yes, sometimes those people smile, sometimes they just keep looking and won't look away until i give them a nasty stare!

Does any one have a Christmas fiasco story about themselves, kids, siblings, etc. i.e. finding your presents before Christmas and having to fake surprise Christmas morning?

Please try to answer as many parts to my question as possible, thanks. :)

First off, do you think clairvoyance exists? I DO believe some people possess some abilities to feel or sense things that maybe some of us are unable to, but are these people confusing this ability WITH clairvoyance, and it might not be what it truly is? Take for instance these television shows where the clairvoyant speaks with a deceased loved one - They always seem to know specific details that no one would/should know. Do the family members participating fill out some kind of questionaire that gives clues that these 'clairvoyants' go off of and just guess and feel their way through, or are some truly legit? Why aren't they more popular and why aren't there more believers if they've given proof time after time of their abilities?

greasy from eating?

My college roommate used to wipe his hands on my other roommate's dog. Although I thought it was mean, I guess the dog didn't mind too much since it got a little snack.
