I just started working for Country Bunny Bath and Body Products. I have decided to give gifts to a few close friends and family members to let them try it out. Would it be inappropriate to leave my business card in the gift bag along with the products? I plan on labeling the products anyway with my name and number for reordering purposes. But a business card...is it too much?

American society is in decay. Violent crime has grown so much in the last thirty years that many people are afraid to go into our cities after dark. Sexual immorality has exploded in our culture since the 1960s. There was a time only a generation ago when premarital sex was the exception not the rule. Now teenagers are having sex at a younger and younger age. Many are even sexually active in junior high school. Young men and women who desire to maintain their virginity until marriage are considered freaks. In the last thirty years American families have been disintegrating. The divorce rate hovers near fifty percent. It is common knowledge that children from broken homes often have more problems functioning in society than children from traditional two-parent families. Adultery is both common and accepted by many in our land. Premarital sex, drunkenness, drug abuse, theft, murder, abortion, lying, cheating, fraud, homosexuality, rape, cruelty and pornography are now a normal part of the American societal landscape.

There is no question that there has been a very large moral decline in American society since the early 1960s (this decline is a matter of record). This decline cannot be explained in terms of poverty, racism and sexism, for these societal elements have been much worse in the past. We live in a period of great material prosperity compared with almost all of recorded history. Yet African American literacy rates and family solidarity were higher in the 1870s (under horrid social conditions) than today, when people in the ghetto live like princes, compared to their ancestors. There is a reason for the decline of American society: we are experiencing the fruit or results of a worldview change that took place in America during the earlier part of the twentieth century.

The worldview transition took place in America primarily between 1870 and 1930. The old worldview which dominated American culture was basically Christian with some right-wing enlightenment thinking tossed in. The Christian worldview had more or less dominated western civilization since the fall of the Roman Empire. This Christian worldview was replaced by materialistic naturalism (or as it’s called today, secular humanism). Secular humanism is the belief that man lives in a closed universe. There is no God who is transcendent above and beyond created reality. The secular humanist presupposes that the Christian God does not and cannot exist—that everything which does exist is merely the product of matter plus time plus chance. The secular humanist presupposes that the only thing which can exist and have importance to mankind is that which is open to empirical verification and observation by man. Therefore, the Christian God and biblical Christianity are ruled out of bounds from the start by the so-called objective materialistic scientist, even before the investigation of reality begins. The essence of secular humanism is that man is the measure of all things. Man, not God, is the determiner of reality, meaning and ethics.

Cover our faces, bow to our men and serve them quietly?
Seems most western families are two income, should women quit their jobs and stay home?

I understand the reasons they don't drink it. But why do they try to keep other people from engaging in behavior they consider harmful?

Some religious wackos want to debate where life begins. Science is perfectly clear about this...living cells are life. Living homo-sapien cells, from zygote on, are human life.

Does this bear on the legal question? Well, what else should bear on the legal question! If we bring anything else to bear...is it not religious babble!

"its not a life cause Im sure its not conscious!". Suppose its not, SO WHAT! The cells are dividing, theres just not as many cells accumulated as you arbitraliy require to declare it, according to you leftist religion, a frickin "life"!

God probably doesnt exist, therefore, to the best of our knoweldge, humans are the highest life form in the universe. In fact, the more humans we educated within civilized free countries, the more we extend this base of intelligence...or essentially be the next best thing to "God".

then burned?...Wow, a bit harsh don't you think? ...And this after God demands the Israelites destroy everything and everyone in Jericho. Leaving nothing but Rehab(the prositute/liar) and her family.The punishment....they(Israelites) lose only 32(?). Not to mention God at other times allows them to keep things they plunder...in fact at this point doesn't God admonish Joshua about them lying and stealing. Now lying matters...hmmmmm.

I come to Yahoo Answers. My 16-year-old daughter comes to Yahoo Answers.

It offends me when people show their bare buttocks or appear almost totally naked here. I don't like it. My 16-year-old daughter doesn't like it.

And before you say, the human body is a beautiful thing; I agree. It's the lack of respect that gets to me. Why am I being forced to see you naked in order to use this website? If you want people to see you naked, you could put up a website address where they can go, so why must I have to look at it if I don't want to? It's not like a have a choice; you can't see what is in a picture until you look at it.

I'm asking on behalf of myself, my daughter, and many others, I'm sure. Please respect us, and keep your clothes on in your pictures.

Please and thank you?

Why what about non Christian nations? Should Christians in a public school in Lebanon have to study the Koran? Should they have to study the Talmud in Israel? What about the the vedas in India?

Would that not make sense? How about if there was a town in the United States that was mostly Muslim. Should they prayer be in accordance with Islam?
