Society & Culture - 10 January 2007

maybe I am phycially tired today but I am tired of always hearing that people don't believe in God b/c of all the suffering in the world, b/c people die of certain diseases, b/c innocent people have bad things happen to them. Lets take some personal responsibility for our actions: WE are killing the ozone, WE have put animals out of existance, WE aren't teaching our children by a poor example, WE created many STD's with sexual immorality, WE let priests continue to molest little boys with no consequences, WE are taking God out of schools, WE are trying to be friends with our kids not parents, WE are getting a divorce b/c WE didn't know the person in the first place, WE are destroying our world!!

WE ARE REAPING WHAT WE HAVE SOWN.

We are taking God out of a country that was founded on Christian principles. WE are asking God to butt out and leave us alone and now that he is, WE are crying he doesn't fix what we are destroying and so WE don't want to believe.

I didn't use to believe in voodoo spell stuff but I've had a lot of things happen that changed my mind. A man I only dated for 3 months went to great lengths to get revenge for me dumping him. And after 3 years he's still at it. Does anyone know how to fight this kind of thing?

Since I was about 9, I have been categorized as a non-believer in any religion concerning an "invisible yet visible" higher power. I don't bash religions like these, because I don't want to snub the devotee's faith, but I don't know exactly what I am. I believe that there is a higher power prevalent in our lives that keeps us wholesome and safe, but does not necessarily want us to "worship" them because it would be in turn an unrequited faith, which makes you not believe in them anymore when they do not answer our prayers. Confusing, right? Feel free to join everyone else who I've told this to's side if you will while answering this long winded question for me: What exactly is my explanation for religion called?

Society(especially US society) is like a person that has a problem and know he/she has a problem;so they go to the phsychiatrist to get help with their problem.But for some odd reason when the person gets to the doctors office to get help with their problem;for some reason they start denying that they have a problem.Doctor tells them well you came here,so their must be something wrong.And the person just very adimantly denies having any kind of problem;and refuses to evan listen to anyone(doctor,parents,spouses ect.) tryna convince them and show them that they need to go back and let the doctor help them.

Does this not sound like the spiritual and mental state of society(US & otherwise) today?Everybody know there's a problem,christians know there's a problem,and evan a few other that arnt christian know.And when we try and let them know how to fix what's wrong, they refuse the help.

Agree with the comparison or No?Explain why?

ok heres the deal, i am 16 and im a late bloomer (just started puberty) and latley i have been getting confused about my sexuality. I have a girlfriend and a LIKE her a lot and ive never found myself attracted to guys emotioally or physcally, i have never liked a man and have always liked girls and felt they are attarctive but my body reacts to me different. i do get physically aroused by girls but sometimes i do by men and idk why but most of the time i get aroused by men from of the thought of themm dominatining me in a sexual situation and i find pleasure out of giving someone else pleasure instead of them pleasureing me but i would never think of dating or even kissing a man bc i think its gross, just giving a man pleasure arouses me for some reason but i am also atracted to woamn more than men , i dont think im gay but im having a mental war inside myself and im really confused am i gay? bisexual? straight? or is this just a phase im goin through?

Recently I have been noticing how most people's conversations have SOMETHING to do with age differences... Up until now I have never really given it much thought... because to me the concept of someone being "too old" for someone else is ridiculous.

I have met plenty of people of who were much older than I that I could get along with perfectly fine and maintain great conversations with.

Whether it be friendships or relationships (which seems to be the most frowned upon.) I mean, come on, is it just me, or is this concept just absurd?

It's nothing to do with age if you ask me, more to do with intellect, maturity, and even spirituality (if one is into that kind of thing). I think people who judge by age need to be a bit less close-minded.

Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

Essensses? Or is it spelled Eccenses? Well anyway, who were they? From what tribe of Isreal did they come from? Are they still in exsistance in this day and age. Is it true that John the baptist was raised and trained by them?

If I ask God why he kills with water, why is that blasphemy? Drowning is a horrible way to die. First your lungs fill painfully with water, then your body convulses till finally you pass out. It is a horrible way to die. Yet that is one of God's favorite way to kill according to the bible. Why is it blasphemy to question such horrible acts of evil by a God?

My friends and I had a bet going for Christmas, whereby we'd subscribe each other to the most obscure magazine titles we could find. I now have a year's subscription to "Boars and Chicks" magazine (women in bikinis pictured with wild boars - Eeww) and "Hedgehog Admirer's Monthly". How much can you write about hedgehogs? Guess I'll find out...

What are your views about Nihilism?

If you don't know what it is, Nihilism argues that the world, especially past and current human existence, is without objective meaning, purpose, comprehensible truth, or essential value. Nihilists generally assert some or all of the following: there is no reasonable proof of the existence of a higher ruler or creator, a "true morality" is unknown, and secular ethics are impossible; therefore, life has no truth, and no action is known to be preferable to any other.

The description was taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihilism go there if you need to learn more.
