I am doing a lesson plan for a 7th grade class (it's an English class, but I am trying to cross it over with current events) where I use Time Magazine for Kids. Then, the students will pick a story (usually there are at least three news stories) and write a paragraph about the topic and what they thought about the story, What do you think? Any suggestions for improvement? I am planning on grading their pragraphs for grammatical errors, etc.

Suppose you are placed in the following hypothetical situation: You are kidnapped by some evil mastermind named Mr. X. Mr. X injects you with a poison that kills you in 1 hour. Nothing can stop you from dying.

Mr. X introduces you to Louie. Louie trusts you and would follow any advice you give him. Mr. X explains that you are to tell Louie not to follow your religion. It doesn't matter what options are open to Louie; you are to tell him that your religion is false and that Louie must never pursue that faith.

If you do that, Mr. X frees Louie to continue life as usual, except that he is convinced your religion is false and will never convert to your religion. If you allow Louie one shred of belief in your religion, then Mr. X tortures Louie for 45 minutes before killing him in front of your eyes. I know it's crazy rhetoric, but try to treat this as serious. Would you dissuade Louie from following your religion?

Please state your religion along with your answer.

and whine to the Yahoo censors about being offended by the opinions of others that insult "their peaceful religion?" I somehow doubt if the "report button" was a WMD launch code they hestiate to click that button either. Does anyone besides me get the picture now!?

I keep reading about threats from Sunni shopkeepers stating, "there will be BLACK DAYS for the Americans and the Iraqis that join them." And then I see how joyful some Iraqis are at Saddam's death sentence. Why are these folks so extreme and base so much of their life on emotions?

I have had many issues in life, and coping with them is part of life, but i truly believe that "I" got myself into a better situation, Not that fact that i have faith in a higher power.. I feel like i am badgered by folks who tell me religion makes everything better, when deep down inside i disagree. 9/10 of what we hear about religion these days was created by man. Is there anyone else that thinks this way?

The discussion about politics becomes very heated between two guests at a dinner party. The other guests are now becoming quite uncomfortable. Should the hostess intervene in any way or consider that among adults, any kind of discussion should take place? What to do?

This weekend I gave a homeless a dollar and he told me it was too little and asked me for another dollar. I told him if he is not grateful for what was given I'll take back his lousy dollar. Is a dollar too little to give a homeless nowadays?

I have a friend who's always pushing her religion. She's ask me numerous times if I got to church and knows I don't. Then, yesterday after telling me her daughter was dedicated to the church asked what I do on Sundays...

I wish she would bugger off with this...I don't go to church. I am smart enough to think for myself on how to be a good person. It's so annoying feeling like you are judged because you don't follow the sheep...ba! ba!

If you knew someone was at home suffering for a cold, would you bring them some chicken soup and some tissue (the kind with the lotion in it) even if they aren't from your background?

My friend who happens to be asian got married to a muslim girl a few years ago.

Her family didnt approve because he was a christian and disowned her from the family.

I always knew Jews didnt like for their children to marry outside their relgion but I thought Muslims were a bit more tolerant.

Is this common practise for Muslims to disown their children if they marry a non believer?

If the Father, the Holy Sipirt and Jesus are all Gods should there be 3 different prayers one for each? Why all prophets before Jesus asked there people to worship God alone? If Jesus is the one who taught Christians how to pray, then who taught Christians to pray by making the cross sign? If the cross is the sculpture that Jesus suffered on and crussified, shouldn't Christians hate it rather than take it as a symbol? Who created the univers? If Jesus Christ is the son of God and his name is Jesus Christ what is the Father's name? Being the mother of God is virgin marry a God too? What about Her parents are they Gods too or humans? Did Jesus Christ eat? Sleep? Work to get food? If human beings wouldn't let any one hurt or humilate them in anyway, how God All MIGHTY allowed earthly people to crussify him?

If a very religious and spiritual man came to you and told you I talked to God, he took the form of a Burning Bush, would you believe? Or would you think he was Burning some Bush? Why is it that one believes age old scriptures that say Moses spoke to God, God who took this certain form. Yet if this scenerio happened in this day and age, the only time anyone would anyone would listen to the person would be when they are in a restraining jacket, in a padded room, in an nut house, but why? Is it that today no one can be spiritual as Moses was then, or is this world full of blind conviction.
