Society & Culture - 17 January 2007

Is it against the general Christian religion to believe that, while Jesus was obviously male, and the holy spirit is neither gender, that God the Father is actually comprised of both masculine and feminine elements. (Truthfully, gender is only necessary for pro-creation and God doesn't need sex to procreate). And if it is not a taboo to accept God the father as without gender (or both gender), then why do so may people get offended if you refer to God with the pronoun "She"....

It says thou shalt not kill... man this is a serious dilemna. because these ants are creatures and they have intelligence too. But I can't like escort each and every last one of them to a new home. But I don't like to kill them. A whole race of ants down the drain. What is the right thing or true thing to do? What would you do? If I don't keep up with the dishes there they are in all their little ant glory. Little puppies working in teams to get my left over pizza whatever, protein etc.

What is wrong with religion? It seems to blind people. And it would seem that if there were no religion on this planet, things would be better? Is that right?

A Muslim once told me that the Quran cannot lawully be translated.

He told me that in order to become a Muslim, the believer must be a able to read Arabic (or learn it) so he/she can read the Quran in it's orginal language.

He also said it was against the doctrine of the religion to translate the Quran into any language because doing so would/may/might corrupt the meaning.

Is this untrue? Yes or no?

I think that every single one of us is a member of a minority group in some way. In plain english, we're all different in our own way. In what way are YOU different?

Naomi Campbell attacked her maid by chucking a mobile phone at her. Obviously, her maid was of different race to her. Could we say that the attack was racially motivated or does it only work the other way around? You can say that Naomi was just throwing a hissy-fit and that she's a moron etc. but why can't the same rule apply to Jade? Jade just hates any 'stuck up cow' to quote her words, irrespective of race, age, or nationality. In fact, if the Indian girl was a chav like herself, then I'm sure they would have been best buddies. So my question is, why can't we say that Naomi Campbell is racist as she attacked a woman of a different race while we can say it about Jade? And by the way, I'm sure that Naomi has insulted her hispanic maid by saying very racist comments, because a woman with a temper like that cannot withold her insulting words.

Our relatives have 4 small kids, toddlers and babies, and we spent loads on them for Christmas. And spent alot on my aunt and uncle as well. Like 3 bags of gifts each.. Anyways.. We didn't even get a thank you in return, no cards or phone calls. NOTHING. They mooch off everyone in our family and when someone needs help they won't ever return favors. I'm not being greedy but should I be mad that they didn't even thank us, or am I overreacting?

Time and again the world has recognized the Holy Quran as a Book that has not been defiled by the passage of time. None has been able to prove it to be an altered one. Today, what the welfare states are doing has already been done by the True Muslim leaders/rulers during their reign. All the concepts of welfare of human being that the world is practising today have their roots in the Holy Quran. (Read and compare as self-evidence needs no proof)

Again the world has recognized, the one way or the other that the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (peace be upon him), is the superiormost personality, and the topping of the topmost leaders of the world. He has always been ranked the best of the best in the worldly ways, who has done every thing selflessly for welfare of manking and has given the best of code of life which today's west is adopting despite not embracing Islam.

Then why the world does feel shame in embracing Islam? Of Course, the Muslims are hypocrites! Is the whole world so?
