Society & Culture - 10 November 2006

Is it the government? Military? Culture? I am curious to get a firsthand perspective. Since we generally get lots of love from the Asians, I'm curious as to why so many Europeans have negative attitudes toward Americans.

Eph 2:5-10 Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ...For by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest anyone should boast.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, where God's purpose that we should walk in them.

The majority of religious answers on this site have reaffirmed my beliefs that religion is a load of crap. Most of the religious people who answer on this site are judgemental and uneducated and think that they can put shame on others who don't believe some made up stories. Anyone else feel this way?

It says in Genesis that God created mankind on the sixth day, It never mentions Adam and Eve until after the seventh day. That is when it is mentioned that he blew dust into them for a soul.
Were their already men and women here? That would explain a lot of questions on cavemen, who married Adam and Eve's son. And a lot more.

I work as a receptionist and i do a lot of school work during work hours. This is fine with my boss and everything. But people always feel the need to come up to me and start pointless conversations while im trying to concentrate. If its work related i dont mind but its usually something stupid

As a guy, I like flowers myself because they're asthetically-pleasing and decorate the house...but they're expensive and perish after only a few days. I realize that women appreciate any symbol of love or sentiment but aren't there other ways to express this? A bottle of wine, for example, lasts longer (especially if it's kept unopened) than a bouqet of roses does, and roses don't allow you to have fun and get drunk. =)

Could Jesus have had alien dna?

Could Mohammad's (pbuh) moon god (Allah) really have been an alien?

If so, are the aliens friendly? Or is religion just a way for them to exploit us?

Super-string theory says there are 11 dimensions instead of the accepted 3 that has been the conventional thought for many years. It is very Hindu-Buddhist in it's nature.

I have lost things in the other dimensions and now I understand where they went.

Do you agree or disagree with string theory?

REVELATION! Acts 1:11 talks about Christ's returning just like He left.
ON A CLOUD!
Does that describe a VISION?
Every EYE will see Him!
Third eye,( minds eye), like you see pictures in your mind?
The FEARFUL and unbelieving will have their part in the Lake of Fire!
CHICKENHEARTS!

This is an answer I received:
Except modern science is able to prove the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection so your lies about Charles Darwin are nothing more than religious propoganda that the real world rejects.

Micro-evolution and adaptiation? Sure. But to say Darwin's theory is a basis for belief and fact is denial - he, Darwin. did indeed say this himself because he saw the fallacy. It is not "religious propaganda". The "real world" ? Certainly that isn't denial for personal reasons, is it?

....as a second or third language? Or perhaps become a convert completely and make it your primary language? Now there's a challenging thought! Not that I'm looking for converts. I have enough trouble with my native language. Just curious here.

How do you understand this verse?

"I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance."

Seems to me that you would have to disregard this statement by Jesus as being added to the text by some "Judaizer". Most xtians focus on the lost sheep. What about the 99 who he said were righteous and needed no repentance? Obviously from the text, Jesus realized that there were people who were righteous and did not need to believe in him for their forgiveness.

BTW, this parable also goes along with the Prodigal Son parable later in the same chapter. If you notice, when the older brother gets angry that the younger brother came home and received a party, he tells his father that he was angry because he has never "neglected a command" of the father's. The father's response to him is "you have always been with me, all that is mine is yours". Obviously the older brother=99 sheep.
