what do you think we can do to improve things for the american mother? i have always felt like people look down on mothers in our culture. sometimes i wonder if thats why people get abortions and dont want to be moms. mothers are not revered. people always assume young mothers want welfare and to eat potatoe chips all day. on the television, i feel they are portrayed as haggard and fat and like their lives are passing by and they long to do other things than to be trapped into being a mother. i have never felt mothers were are respected as i see them being respected in other cultures. however i am happy that a lot of actresses are having babies and still maintaining their careers. thats a positive. what do you think? what do you think we can do to improve things for the american mother?

Why does the FBI and CIA investigate more muslems then christians for terror-actions? Are they not respecting the right of choosing any religion? I hate that!

In my opinion, I think flowers are just way too boring for my taste. What other suggestions do you recommend, without getting too crazy. Or are flowers still the best choice???

Do you remember the bombings in the mid and late 90s around South Africa and Cape Town in particular. They were pipe bombs that exploded in St. Elmos - Camps Bay, Planet Hollywood - V&A Waterfront, New York Bagels - Sea Point etc. etc.

Did they ever catch the responsible people?
What was it all about?
Was it only in predominantly European areas?

Ok, accourding to the popular christin notion...we die...God sends us to heaven hell..or perhaps purgatory, limbo...but....their is also the idea of a last judgement, after the world ends..why is that needed? or do we go to heaven or hell when we die..or do we "die" until we are resurrected from the dead...Id like to hear what some christans or those versed in Christan theology think.

So, I was visiting a relative (i was 18 at the time and I just got out of highschool) in another state, and I had been there for maybe two weeks. I met the neighbors, mainly because they had really cute puppies that just happened to wander into the yard, my Aunt introduced me to them, and they seemed very nice. They were a nice middle-aged couple that had been in the area for a few years, and apparently they had known my aunt for quite awhile.

So we were making small talk, and high-school got brought up, and college... etc...

And to my horror, the neighbor asked my parents (while I was there) if I was pregnant. They also asked me how many grandkids I was going to give them.

Now, I'm not chubby or fat in anyway.. I'm pretty slim, you can see my hip-bones and whatever.. you can clearly tell I'm not visably pregnant.

This upset me for many reasons, 1.) I'm only 18, 2.) I have a medical condition and I may not be able to have any children, and I'm kinda sensitive about it.. because I love kids, but at the same time being around them makes me a little sad inside.

Is this normal behavior? Is this proper etiquette? Why would anyone ask this??

I know Jesus Christ died for our sins on the cross, but I am wondering what is dying like? Was Jesus' temporary separation from God the Father, carrying the weight of all our sins, the basic pain of dying, and the ressurection what made his death significant? Am I missing anything?

005.116. And (remember) when Allâh will say (on the Day of Resurrection): "O 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men: 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allâh?' " He will say: "Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner­self though I do not know what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the All­Knower of all that is hidden and unseen.

005.117. "Never did I say to them aught except what You (Allâh) did command me to say: 'Worship Allâh, my Lord and your Lord.' And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness to all things. (This is a great admonition and warning to the Christians of the whole world).

Why is it that in any relationship I have ever been in, the guy is really attached to me? Even to the point where they say they would die if I ever broke up with them and even to go as far as saying they would kill themselves. Is this normal????

Superman doesn't exist but yet he is admired for his courage and good morals in standing up to evil. Even if God is fiction, does he still embody all of the characteristics that we shall live by? I think more important than whether God exist or not, the more important thing to ask is whether we love him or not? I see people all of the time loving fictional superheroes. By the way I am agnostic however I believe God both exist and doesn't exist.

I see many of us keep asking questions a normal and rational human being would evaluate on a topic, but isn't this just futile when the whole premise of religion is to have faith i.e. believe without or even against evidence?

The veil has been a symbol of reverence to God in a number of religions when women wear it, so why when a muslim female wears one is it seen as a sign of oppression?

In Christianity women are instructed to wear a veil or head cover when entering a holy place and hindu, jewish women wear the veil.

It's just a shame that muslim women are having to have thier faith questioned just because they wish to follow Gods instructions.

Long live the veil.

Let us compare a number of important beliefs.

Christianity

God sent his son(Jesus) to save the world via a human birth involving a virgin mother(Mary). And told the people of that time you can only get to heaven or paradise through following his son.

The world was saved by a Human Sacrifice(Jesus being crucified).


One ancient Pagan Religion.

A pagan god sent his son to be born through a virgin mother(Isis). And told people of that time you can only get to heaven through following him.

Human sacrifices made to please the gods and save the people of the time.


Prove me otherwise but they are the one and the same to me so why do Christian condemn pagans when you believe the same.
