Society & Culture - 4 December 2006

I am currently a Mormon and while I was on a mission I met a man who gave me a book by Sam Harris called "Letter to a christian nation" Well I read it and it at first made me angry but then I decided to do some more research and I read a few more books by people like Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennet, Well Growing up as a Mormon I never realized how insane our church's beliefs were and how unrealistic they actually were. My problem is that I am an active member of the church plus my parents would completely disown me if they knew that I don't believe anymore. Should I stay true to my beliefs and quit the church and move away? or Pretend to be someone im not out of respect for my family?

Do they feel secure?. What have they got that makes them different from us?. Why are they regarded as outcasts even though they are normal human beings like us?

Im not a Christian, I percive myself as a deist. I believe in Something, maybe nature that is God, But my question to you is. If all you are going to do when you die is rot in the ground, why do you have the drive to seek the truth at all?

If it's wrong for Muslims to wear the veil in the workplace should Catholics be banned from wearing the cross. There both freedoms of expression or is there a more sinister motive to ban them.

I am not a bl@ck. I am asian, but a little dark, i look mexican. My little brother looks white, so he doesn't have the experiences, like me. It's like i am a piece of garbage on the road to (some) americans, i am nobody, usless. I have to work twice as hard and be twice as skillful than (some) white person, just to prove myself or be very educated, to win their respect. Right now, i get treat like a freaking dog @ my job, @ circuit city. How do i cope with this, i just keep to my self and keep a safe distance, i don't get close to anyone, since then, my plan has worked. At my job, an employee, stated racist remarks about me, i told the managers, and they disregard my report. Nothing was done. I am not drawing my conclusion from one situation, but from many situations. It bothers some people, but that's a fact of life, so it doesn't bother me, i know my position in society, i am just happy that i am living in america, if i was across the pacific ocean, i would't have a job!!!

As I understand it, there are the two main theories of how we got here. One, posed by Darwin, has major flaws with the evolutionary jump from Neanderthal to modern humans. Genesis, well, its a good story.

What is the theory called that centers on humans being dropped here, or landing here? I know one part of it comes from the alleged structures on Mars and I find that fascinating...funny that it is even referenced in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...just have never actually heard what it is referred to as.

I'm so sick of hearing people say that the reason black girls dye thier hair, or change their hair color, eye color, or wear weave is to look white. NO! tHAT IS NOT THE CASE. black people do not try to look white when they do these things. everybody likes to change every once in a while. it would be wrong for black people to say white people get tans to look black. Black girls don't have a reason to want to look like white girls so don't even think that nonsense! if you have any problems then feel free to email me personally. How do you feel about this? can someone please explain to people and me why they think that? we do not want to look ''white''. Pleease! Black girls have more atributes that a white girl could never posess!

I find evolution to be beautiful because of the idea that everything has slowly changed and developed, and that things once alive may now have evolved into creatures we have today etc. It makes me think about how vast the universe is, and how timeless (I'm not being scientific here - I just mean the world has existed sooo long!)

People choose to be gay. People don't choose to be a race. Is there a problem here?
