Society & Culture - 10 January 2007

I think that humans, as a species, create too many children and don't treat them well enough. There are too many children neglected and abused, poorly educated and in homes where there is alcohol or drug abuse and poverty. Am I alone in thinking that making more people while we can't take care of the ones that exist is irresponsible?

I was born under Draconis. It says that give me a serious
expression that makes others think I'm angry! And boy
do people act weird around me. Scrunching up their
eyebrows in a questioning way, actually getting hostile, and all I'm doing is talking to them.
Any similar experiences?

I have had a few discussions with Christians and seen some pro-Christian videos critiquing Atheism. They all usually use the old and fallacious argument that goes something as follows: Since all the knowledge in the world can't be known by a person (or even humanity as a whole), you have to agree that in that unknown knowledge could be that of god. Therefore, Atheists are really Agnostics. Now I won't bother debunking the argument (that ironically can be used against Christians) because that is not the point here, but it still leads me to wonder: Why are Christians, or at least those, so fixated into making us Atheists into Agnostics? Do you think that by labeling us something new you could make us closer to god? I just don't get it.

I haven't lived too long to have a bundle, but one time I put a couple thousand dollars on my parents credit card without them knowing and I felt really bad doing that, but that isn't as bad as running over someone and not calling an ambulance lol Anyone do something real bad or stupid?

Divination is pretty much defined as making predictions based on interpretation of a particular thing eg necromancy - divination by means of studying the dead or speaking to the dead.

Since Meteorology is technically just interpretation of winds and such to make predictions based upon them, and divination by any means is prohibited by the Judeo-Christian Bible, shouldn't Meteorologists be condemned by the Bible's followers?

Or is it simply that because Meteorology serves an International purpose that it is not condemned?

Such as religion!
Why do we believe in it? We cannot prove that gods exists, yet we believe in them all the same.

I found alot less hostility and farr more mature responses. No one really judged others on their beliefes and answered in mature manners.

When people ask something athiest or wiccan or christain, the answers are answered casually and not in a way americans do it. We seem to answer in ways that we are at war with eachother and HAVE TO convince the other rather than just respecting their opinion.

No bible-thumping
No God bashing
No silly replies
Just honest and friendly responses.

Is this just the american way?
Im right, your wrong. Believe what i believe or else your less of a person.

A sample study I made has led me to an interesting observation: there are more divorces when age differences are small and the longest sustained marriages are when age difference is between 6 and 10 years. Please comment. Thanks

Islam code od believes:
Allah (God Almighty) is the only Creator of all that exits.

There is one God (Allah). Jesus is the Christ, miracle birth- and Muhammad (p) is his last prophet, both of them said, "God is One and you have to serve Him with all your heart, mind and strength.

Allah reveals His 99 Divine Attributes and does not compare Himself to any of His creation.

Allah created man from dirt and "in His image" and of "His spirit," yet God has no likeness of anything in creation.

Adam & Eve sinned, then repented and were forgiven, with no continuing effects on their children.


God Forgives Adam and Eve after they repent. Then He makes Adam his deputy (caliph) and the first prophet.


Man is basically good but prone to mistakes. Muslims who repent and submit to God are forgiven without intercession from Christ (or anyone) needed.

Through submission to the Will of God in peace, anyone, anytime, any place becomes a servant of Allah and draw closer to Him.

Allah is not like His creation. He is neither male nor female, nor is creation like Him.



christianity:God Almighty is the only Creator of all that exits. (Gen. 1:1)

There is one God. He exists eternally in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (There is no "Trinity" in the Bible)



God has revealed Himself as "One God" and "One Lord" (Dueteronomy 6:3; Mark 12:29)

God created man from dirt and the image of God (Genesis 1)


Adam and Eve sinned and thus brought sin into the world and their sins passed on to their children. (Genesis 3:1-7)


Original Sin - all of Adam's posterity are born with a sin nature and are sinful from birth (Romans 3:22-23, 1st John 1:10)

Man is by nature sinful and has need for redemption by the atonement of Jesus Christ (Romans 5:6, 8:32, Colossians 1:19-20, Hebrews 7:26-27, 9:26, 10:12, 1st John 4:10)

Through the work of Christ, God adopts Christians into His family and calls them His children (Romans 8:14-15, Ephesians 1:5, Galatians 4:5)

Bible says; "God is not a man... not the son of man.." (Numbers 19:23) Other places contradicts this(?)

i think that's one of the biggest lessons i have to learn in this life. recently i started learning not to get angry at things anymore because it does me no good. like my mom cheated on my dad and pretty much ruined my life when i was 17(i'm 24 now). i've accepted it because i'm making changes in my life to take care of myself, but i want to forgive her. even if she doesn't ever know. i want to forgive a friend of mine for breaking my heart. and i want to forgive another friend of mine for breaking our friendship a couple of days ago for no reason. none of these people care that they did it to me, but i'm ready to move on. so how do i do it? accepting it isn't my problem, it's forgiving them.

Luke never claimed to be a prophet or inspired by God .. He also was not an apostle of Jesus .. christians say he was an apostle of Paul but no evidence for thei claim.

Lately I've been confused. I feel like something is missing. Well, no. I don't know what I feel. And I don't know, but perhaps a little spirituality might do the trick?

I am not religious, but if someone gives me an appealing coax - who knows?

So far I have always been an atheist. But I find the atheist crowd a little conceited and arrogant and cold for my liking.

Am I a pagan? If so.. am I asatru or a druid or what? Do I instead like the sound of Islam? The Buddha was a nice guy. And those Hindu people seem friendly. If I were to go to the Hari Krishna's then I'd get a free meal though. Oh!

Is it even necessary at all or am I just seeking to fill a gap where, I don't know, a good episode of Doctor Who might work just as well?

Where are the virtues in practicing religion?

Atheists admit that atheism is not a religion. They also say God does not exist. So why are non-theists in a theist section? Should they be in some other section instead like Philosophy or Humanities? Is it productive to have them here? Do we need their input?
