Why is it not a sin in your religion to kill another person? All have justified it at some time, because of culture,survival, honor, or revenge.
Tell me in your OWN words.



Love God, Love others as you would love yourself

The third commandment, "Remember the Sabbath Day and keep it holy” teaches us to devote one day of the week to God and your family; and keep God’s day holy. Why is this an important message for today's world? and Why is this message a challenge to today's culture and values?

The second commandment, "You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord” teaches us that God is only about good and love; to respect God’s name; do not use God’s name in vain because God has high authority; God’s name should be kept holy; and to only use God’s name in a good and loving way.

The first commandment, "I am the LORD your God; you shall have no other gods before me” teaches us that we should realize that there is only one God and he is above all else; God created everything that is good; and not to worship false God’s such as money, sex, celebrities. ETC. Why is this an important message for today's world? and Why is this message a challenge to today's culture and values?

Christ says My curse is with the Sins of Man. So does that mean that hell was created from the sins of man? Was it through the sins of man that the pitts of hell even existed? To tell you the TRUTH a prophesy is becomeing true, because more and more people are forsaking God. Britain is on it's last two legs now with God and it seems like America is soon going to be falling too. We have more fadeing away from God than any other Century or generation ever.

I would like to know what you think about Santa. He is the one that is celebrated for Christmas, not Christ. He is the one that the parents talk about.

How much do your national cultural archetypes affect you? And how much do you think your nationality effects your daily life, how does it make you view other nationalities?

When you are cosidering your cultural identity, do you consider the different historical groups that make up your identity - eg; I'm Irish, but I never consider the Vikings, Normans, British etc that have created the history of the Irish, which creates contradictions in my culural identity.

Those who believe there is a heaven, just what do you think you are headed for? Are you and all your dead ancestors going to gather 'round in a beautiful condo and watch TV for eternity? Seriously, what do you plan on doing forever? Just gonna hang around saying how good you've been?

As a devout Christian, I rather think so. When The Holy Bible says "thou shalt not kill" it means even the Decider. I know they tried to kill his daddy. And Bush wanted reelection so bad he could taste it, so bad he could make up a thousand lies. But I have been taught Bible ways, and the Bible says God is no respecter of persons. -- Translation, Bush's eternal soul before God is Satan's toastiest toaster pastry, in spite of his pedigree among the elite of Aroughbuttshagging, TX.
