well i took the liberty of surfing through the old testament
and was shocked by what i read it seems the people we worship and learn from are the type of people that we know throw in jail !
one line read something like -if he shall try to draw you from god
you must strike him to death blah blah blah, you know the vibe
so i asked my uncle who teaches religious education and he confirmed that that most major religions promote belief in their god
over the the lives of others and that the bible is far from the civilized bubble we put it in today he said if Christians and Muslims
were to follow their holy book without scrutiny
they simply would not be able to socialize or function in a secular
nation
and it made me think
if i were to truly believe that there was a book sent from the divine creator i wouldn't care about the words of man nor would i allow others to commit religious atrocities against my belief system
"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."
The Christian god makes man human, then burns him when he acts like one.

Yes there is such a thing as Pantacle and no it is not misspelled. But it is obviously not a Wiccan thing either. Something to do with cosmic/mystical stuff. But I can't find anything that really explains it. Can anyone help?

outside the kitchen? I just read a girl who said she was lounging on the couch, and her mom was sweeping needles. Is it normal for Christian children not to help their parent? What is the Christian teaching on showing reverence for your mother?

I have Hyperacusis( www.hyperacusis.net), and it's terrib le when i go there and they have guitars and electric bass and piano Amplified, and use microphones. I realy don't know why they do it. It's not needed. The church has echo.. and what we need is people to sing, not amplification of instruments. It's a catholic church, but it seems to be a trend that Hispanic mass people want amplification. I really dont' get it. Not needed at all. the church is not super big.. It's small.

Well anyways, i went yesterday and the loud music started , couldn't take it and left. I'm not going to wear ear muffs or ear plugs for a place that is supposedly PEACEFUL and welcoming.. so forget it i rather not go. But why are they so ignorant about loud noise in church? should i call them or write to them and hope they will get educated

If there was such a thing as a completely secular country, with no religions (and therefore no notions of "trying to play god"), do you think that that country would be more technologically/scientifically/medically advanced than other countries?

I am a caucasion teacher who works in a middle school with black and hispanic students. I find it interesting that I, as a caucasion guy, often find myself reprimanding my black students for using the N-word. I have also had several incidences of my students stating that it's okay for a black person to say and not for a white person to say to which I firmly respond, "No, it is absolutely unacceptable for anyone to use that word regardless of color or ethnicity!" This is often met with a look of a little shock and confusion from the students. It seems like from their point of view that as long as you're black and drop the "r" at the end of the word, then that changes the meaning of the word and is okay to use. But if you're white and pronounce the full word without dropping the "r" at the end, then that's the most disgustingly racist thing ever!

Do you shake like you would with another man, or do you do that weird limp-wristed thing? Is this disrespecting the woman, like you think she's too feeble to shake hands normally? I've always wondered about this.

I played this PS2 game called Genji: Dawn of the Samurai, and looked it up in Wikipedia. I looked up Minamoto no Yoshitsune and I saw him in Japanese art. Can you tell me if he was real or just a myth?

Because atheists claim this short life is all they will ever have, you would think they would have a hell-of-a-lot of living to do. So it is astonishing that so many of them, waste so much of their very valuable time, preaching to other people that this short life is all there is.
It seems there are actually more atheists on Yahoo religion, than religious people.
Where does it say in the atheist’s ‘live-for-the-moment’ handbook, “go thou and teach all nations?” We can only conclude that, in trying to convince others, they are actually trying to convince themselves.

Why does it seem that every 4th question or so is about something derogatory about the USA? Sure every country has its faults but why so much America bashing? Are you Europeans that bored and pathetic that that's all you have to talk about??

To put myself through college, I worked as one. I was always called stupid, got cigartette smoke blown in my face, and yelled at b/c of the rates. I chose the job b/c I could study and do my homework while there were no cars exiting. Also b/c I made 8.50 an hour. Please, no snide remarks. I now work as a personal secretary.
