Society & Culture - 5 December 2006

Please place yourself in each of the following 3 situations.
How would you respond to each and why?
1. A school age boy comes to your door selling candy bars.
He's raising money for his class to go on a field trip.

2. The cashier at your local market asks you if you'd like to
donate a dollar to some charity, in exchange for getting your
name on a little piece of paper in the window.

3. A mother of 2 young children takes the only job offered to her, in her town. A minimum wage, telemarketing type thing. Only it's not selling anything. It's raising money for terminally ill children to get their last dying wish. She's assigned a child to try to help and given a list of computer generated phone numbers to call, in your area,
because the chld lives in your town. She calls you, explains what
is going on, and asks for a $5.00 contribution to help the child.

Because that's exactly what my "born-again" Christian sister does to her children, and I think it's sick and twisted and I feel very sorry for her kids, but don't know what to do or say.

Every year I get together with my family for Christmas dinner. It used to be sooo much fun when we were little but it has lost its lustre. How can I make it more memorable and exciting? Any suggestions would be great!

I mean what they eat, what they do, or whatever they need. Maybe it's be the best answer if the answer related with Asian people..

I have a friend whom I have known for a very long time. Me and her have had very close talks and had helped each other throw many hard times. Spontaneously one day I asked her if she thought I was going to go to hell. With some hesitation she responded, "yes, you do not believe in Jesus Christ, so you will go to hell".

I was rather taken back. Hell as depicted in scripture is a very horrible place. Full of fire and pain it's an outright nightmare. Yet this "friend" of mine was certain that I would end up in this miserable place simply because I had not let "Jesus Christ into my heart".

How can Christians so cold-heartedly believe that good, honest people should go to hell simply because they do not believe in Christianity?

Many things in my life are beyond my control right now and I just need answers. I have not prayed in a while (I am not a really religous person), but I feel the need to do so. It may sound silly, but I feel guilty almost because I have not prayed in a while. I guess I feel as though I'm only praying because I "need" something (like fulfillment or answers). I just find comfort in feeling as though my prayers are being answered or at least 'listened' to. What should I think?

I am a sponge, I take in what is in the sea, and digest it, now I have a problem, why does your God, allow the larger fish in the sea, like the whales, to have sexual intercourse with other whales, and letting them let their "load" spill out, and not make the target! knowing ahead of time that what is in the ocean is what I eat! If your God says it is wrong to take in anything unclean and unholy, then why does your God let this horrible force of nature happen? Beside, seeing that I am a male, and if i'm eating a male whale's sperm, wouldn't that make me gay? Isn't that against your God's rule too??

I am a terrible person.

Let me explain. I was married almost a year ago. I had a shower and received presents from the wedding itself. I had two lists, one shower and one wedding list. The shower list I placed inside a gift box to transport home. Upon arriving I discovered that my mother had moved it out of the gift box to another place where I would be less likely to lose it. Unfortunately, it either fell out or was thrown away (me not knowing where it was) because it never turned up. We moved the week after our wedding and the second list was lost in the move.

I found the second list six months later and wrote the thank you cards (already horrifically late). However, many of the people on the second list were friends with people on the first list and I didn't want to send you thank you cards to only half as they might discuss it and feel left out. We were moving in a couple of weeks and I thought we would find the list then. We didn't. It has now been a year.

I have recently become closer and closer to God. I have developed a great interest in learning to be a good christian and helping others become christians too.
Whats the best advice you can give as far as learning to reach people who are defiant unbelievers, like the ones who believe in 'science'?

Extreme Athiests: do you have Chrisitan friends?? Right

Funamental Christians: do you have athiest friends? Sure.

If we group people together it makes it more faceless, hate is much easier.

I bet alot of us would get along...if for example you saw me as David, not as Christian.

Agrees? Disagrees?

Bless you all
David
