Society & Culture - 3 June 2007

I've notice that everyone says its personality that counts in a person and not their looks. Heck, some folks even say there is no such thing as an "unattractive person". Do you think people are being a little bit ridiculous? No matter how "nice" people want to be you can't deny that there are people out there who aren't at the least bit attractive. Looks aren’t everything but I find it thickheaded for people to completely ignore the fact that not everyone is attractive.

I hope I don’t sound mean, and I don’t want to offend anyone..its just I think it’s foolish for people to deny others as being ugly. I’m not insecure and find myself confident in my looks; I was just wondering why people are arrogant to this? What are your opinions about this? Do you think its wrong to deny someone as unattractive and think that everyone is beautiful on the OUTSIDE? (and, yes I know everyone is beautiful on the inside!)

In order to be satanic wouldn't that mean you have to believe in God which means you aren't atheist?

He doesn't understand the explanation I'm trying to give...
Am I right though?

Clue: I'm not talking about a specific one. even religious people don't believe in it and 99% are being dictated by fear.

Cool!"
Funny thing is lunar ecliptic lasts 10 mins, wow your an idoit thanks for the input my point.
You would die very quickly...no air to breathe.
Gravity is what keeps the air here at the surface of the Earth instead of having it drift of into space.
Next, with no gravity, you, yourself would float of into space with no means of controling your movement upwards or downwards once fixed things were out of your reach.
Naturally if the Sun's nuclear fusion were to stop, things would get pretty cold, pretty fast. So maybe in your death you would have a cold night or two beforehand.

he direction that the planets would move depends upon where they were in their orbital paths around the Sun. They would not all move off in the same direction... Deep Space is any direction away from the Earth, or in this case the Sun...
Therefore Joshua would not have stoped

with each question I answer they are losing the faith in my religion, I led them to christ by my emotion and zeal for God but I realized I don't know or understand much and now they are doubting the prayer of faith. Please help? they are asking too many hard questions and my own bible doesn't have the answers and sometimes contradicts my pastor's teachings overtly. I desperately need someone to tell me what to believe again so I can then convert this person back to my faith that others are right so I can be right. Does this help?

I am saving myself for marriage & my boyfriend is not. I know he wants sex with me really really bad, and i want it too but tell him no everytime because i am REALLY serious about saving myself. Now we've done pretty much everything right up to intercourse but now i'm getting to the point where i don't know what to do. Its soooo important to him & i always feel so bad whenever i say no. Does anyone have any really good tips on staying strong. I'm scared i'm gonna cave in very very soon. And please don't tell me i should breakup with him b/c that's not an option. thanks! =)

In Jeremiah chapter 7 verse 22 god tells the esteemed prophet Jeremiah that he never told Jeremiah's forefather's anything about sacrifice when he led them out of Egypt. The exodus took place in the 2nd book of the bible. The book of Jeremiah is more than half way through the bible and the entire first part of the bible talks about sacrifice, especially after they left Egypt. Now, if god didn't give the orders on sacrifice then who did? The bible is supposed to be inspired by god. Did god lie or did Jeremiah? If neither one is lying then who was giving the orders about sacrifice and setting down the other laws? Are we to assume that some other god gave them? If we can't believe the whole first section of the bible how can anyone believe any of it?

As I type now, you may already have the sense that we(Science & Math) have now bought the war to the religious section.
As of now, the 21st society is now expanding toward science & math, new technoloy has arrived. You may have used the internet as your desire to express your oppions, everyone has the right of oppion obviously it doesnt make your right. You have express deep worries toward science & math, causing hating on the scientists & mathematicians. They now have bought the war to the religious section.
This section is the Middle East, and the West(Science & Math) is now on the offensive after centuries of defending themselfes, now they are on the offensive.

This section is more on attack & defense, & not ask & anwser.
You have bought the war to your ownselves of being insecure, and lecturing of how great you are, and downlooking on the science section, now they have bought the war here.

I dont see noone posting hating on the science maybe sci. won?
Your thoughts?

This may be a long one. but i have always wondered these.
1. God is are father so the bible says but then they say if you are not babtised and follow his everyword the you will go to hell...i am sorry but as a mother i would never want anything to happen to my son. even if i gave him up and never seen him i wouldnt want noting to happen. so if god really loved us as our father why would he want to send us to such a horrible place just cause we didnt listen or follow him.

2 who really wrote the bible.....it was found but that doesnt mean its true i could go bury a paper with weird writing decode it and say i found more of tjhe bible and people would believe me.

3 if everyone who seen god is dead how do we really know he is there.

5 swearing is bad they say and its a sin but who made swear words swears...who made them wrong to say?

thanks for everyones answears...i have more but cant think right now.
if anyone could explain this to me please do.

I need some advice regarding some
of the specific laws and how to follow them.
1. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know
it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev. 1:9. The
problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor isn't pleasing
to them. Should I smite them?

2. I want to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned
in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what would be a fair
price for her? 3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her monthly period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev. 15:19-24. The problem is, how do I tell? I've tried asking, but most women take offense. 4. Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are from neighboring nations.
A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but
not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
5 A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish
s an abomination, WHY?

I have been wondering why people ask questions seeking an "answer" however they are only seeking agreement because their minds are already made up however not taking any notice of the correct answer?

What do you think?

In regards to the vastness of the universe and the incredibly high probability of there being countless other life-harboring planets in existence... how can one say that "the Son" of a/the GOD came down to our lonely little sphere in order to preach to US. Furthermore, how can we assume that we are so special and presume that we should be favored over any other equally intelligent sentient lifeforms?

In my view, you can resolve this in two ways, the first being the admittance that Jesus was not the direct creation of an omni-creator... thus rejecting any sort of divine aspect of him. You can also counter the anti-divinity by presenting abbelarch's (sp?) fully-human fully-divine teach us how to live argument... but the you must accept the Godlike nature of other spiritually enlightened persons/beings.



Am I missing something here? What causes us to honestly think we are so special?

Therefore Joshua would not have stoped the sun, nor is joshua God, raising his hands on the lunar ecliptic purposely to fool everyone to think he is a prohphet.

Cut, the crap, claiming he stoped the Earth, no chance in H3ll he did that

I am very very proud of my ethnicity.I am a white man of Irish/English ancestry.That means I am about as white as you can get.Unless if you're Scandinavian/German/Baltic or something.I'm content on my natural skin color.I think a white person who likes to get dark tans is like an Asian person who wants bigger eyes folds.
