Society & Culture - 25 May 2007

When I watch American cartoon programmes like Family Guy and The Simpsons, they often poke fun at Canadians. They say they are slow-witted and they put them down seemingly just for existing. I don't know any Canadian programmes so I don't know if the reverse is true. I'm sure it's a terrible generalisation, but are there any historic reasons I am missing as to why some Americans seem to have it in for Canada and the Canadians.
Thanks.

...6 billion (or whatever number) years old, or 6000 years old as interpreted in the Bible? Please explain your answer?

After the Watchtower organisation sold the former book plant in New York In 2004 for 205 million dollars more than fifty times the 3.9 million that they paid for it in 1983, I said they were a profit making organisation. Technically this was wrong so I apologise.

I will in future refer to them properly as a non profit making organisation that erm makes profits.

I see it almost everyday. It started in church during a mass, Christ reached out to me from the Cross on the wall behind the priest. I went and took communion then, not before, I wasn't going to.

Anyway, I keep having a vision of an arm reaching down to me out of the heavens. What do you think it means???

Please no obvious answers. (i.e. God is trying to speak to you.)

I'm looking for insight.

I probably should mention I was in the church for a funeral, and I thought I saw my friend who had died standing in front of the coffin.

If God was the only one around, why would he say "let us " and "our image"?

Once in an interview, the
famous Ex-municipal commissioner of Bombay , Mr. Tinaikar, had a point to make. 'Rich people's dogs are walked on the
streets to leave their affluent droppings all over the place,' he said. 'And then the same people turn around to criticize and blame the authorities for inefficiency and dirty pavements. What do they expect the officers to do? Go down with a broom every time their dog feels the pressure in his bowels?

In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan ..
an indian citizen will not do this.... and i dont understand why..?
if sumone has da answer to this question please answer,,,,,,

Not to pick on them only, but...have you ever had a Bible study or a discussion about a topic in the Bible with someone, and not only are they always right, but they zip you around the Bible, and insist on making their point be the right one? I have had this happen everytime I'd try having a study with a witness. A discussion seems to get nowhere, even tho I may actually know the truth about a particular topic. So, why would anyone discussing the Bible, NOT be open to trying to get the truth of the subject, even if they would have to change their view?
We are supposed to "prove all things", RIGHT?
So, why won't some people use any literature,including some that might not be their own, to prove something or to gain new knowledge?
Are some people closing their mind and heart to the truth, believing that they have all the answers?
Wouldn't God want us to search for the truth, and change, if we have to?

We can see it in the historical records. We can see it in everyday posts on this forum. We know he has not returned so far.

Then how come almost all think it will happen 'soon'? It has been 'soon' for more than 2000 years?

We are saved by grace not by meeting a quota.

We just want you to have a chance at the same happiness and hope we have. Is sharing happiness a crime?

SO today is "senior activity day" and we don't have to go until later in the day, like 10:30 AM. I have some work to catch up in my classes and I said I would go in early and work on it until then. But I don't think I would have any fun so I was thinking of going in later and working into the "senior activity day" so I don't have to go as long. What should I do?

According to me:-

Before you speak, listen;
Before you write, think;
Before you spend
Earn;
Before you criticise;
Wait;
Before you Pray;
Forgive;
and Before you quit
Try and don't give up because eventually you will succeed.

Are you believers kidding me. Adam and Eve had everything and yet they sinned, how could you possibly think that would trust man to write his word. This is the very reason why the bible is rubbish. It was mostly written by the Jews as a means to justify their wars and to keep their people together. If you want to learn about for real see his word in nature!

2 great teachers i admire and love are jesus and buddha for their kindness. I am not intrested in any supernatural god's. I believe that jesus is god to me and always will be.

Christianity , in fact the teachings of jesus has nothing to do with islam or judaism. Christianity is very much a religion like Buddhism, and jesus was a loving merciful person like Buddha

while people of these 2 religions have commited atrocities i can tell you that christianity and buddhism are the only 2 religions that has the power to change the world in the form of love and mercy.

jesus and buddha are the greatest and i stand by what i say

no other religion can claim that they have the power to promote love . only christianity and buddhism does, because jesus and buddha were 2 teachers of love and mercy

Thats why i call jesus God

what do you say?

This was written after several centuries of torturing "heretice."

“Bodily torture has ever been found the most salutary and efficient means of leading to spiritual repentance” (Pope Innocent IV, AD EXTIRPANDA, A.D. 1252).

And “Jesus wept” (John 11:35).
