Society & Culture - 6 June 2007

I would like to know if it is a law in the state of Nevada, that a person must buy a casket for their loved one in order to to be cremated ? Or is a casket necessarry at all for this type of disposal of the body? And if so, what type of casket is necessary for cremation?
Thank You,
Sincerely,
Carol McDaniel

I have a lot of Christian friends who seem really judgemental of minority groups that don't meet their "moral standards", such as gay people. The problem is, I'm quite the opposite. Is it hypocritical of me to be angry of their intolerance?

I asked this question yesterday in the baby, pregnancy section, thought I would take it here also.
I saw on TV yet another young girl leaving a baby to die in the dumpster, if that mother would have chosen your doorstep to leave the baby at, what would you do?
Would you keep it as your own, or turn it over for adoption.
We all would call the police, that is a given.
But in your heart, what would be the best for this child?

(This was originally intended to be an answer to a question which was removed before I could post)

In that case, the religious and non-religious could both be right. It's a theory which is growing in popularity that reality is just as beauty; in the eye of the beholder. In the case of religion, there are plenty of valid arguments for and against the possibility or likelihood of a supreme god.

Whether or not the energy (or consciousness) is infinite or not is an interesting question, but ultimately irrelevant, no?

I was just wondering

I don't get it, how can a question (in itself) be offensive?
How can an honest answer not be appreciated?

Most of us are not experts on R/S, so it seems our honest answers and frank questions are the only real value of this site.

We are all rather guilty of community guidelines, but that never seems to be the real reason we are reported?

Please give me an example of how not to offend a person who is prone to reporting others.

(If you a person who reports people, please tell us how to ask or answer a question that will not offend you.)

Am especially interested to know if there is a Latin legal term for "mistaken identity".

Please take your time to take the test. It's really crazy. Shows that I have a moderate preference for white people eventhough I feel I'm not a racist/prejudiced by any means! Take it and tell me your results! It was on the Oprah show today.

I do not believe in any of that evil stuff; I think that things turn out however you want them to. I think that tarot cards are one of those things that are pretty vague.. it's all for fun; but I think that it can help you to better yourself as a person. What do you think?

I've had an observation during my time using Yahoo answers and I have found that to Yahoo, racism is just the kind of controversy they look for to keep folks logging in. There have been many people, myself included, that have had answers violated and accounts suspended for standing up to opression and racism, yet nothing is done to quell the the rampant hatred plastered across a question and answers forum meant to celebrate and educate people from all cultures and communities. Yahoo is glad to feature celebrities and other dignitaries to discuss subjects from the environment to politics, but how many times have they delt with a subject that rests at the heart of conflict in this country, racism? In a way, they condone racism under their "guidelines", but just as the racists are free to have a vioce, so should I be free to silence them. Is racism worth it's divisive nature to allow for the sake of the 1st ammendment? How can Yahoo change our society for the best?

If all we are is a product of evolution how did we develop a sense of good, evil and morality inherent to nearly all mankind?

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the OIL of joy

I mean, I can't see a factory at the North Pole on Google World. Also, there are no natural resources up there. Yet, somehow, the toys are created and delivered on Christmas morning. That is definitive proof of a creator. So Santa must exist. That radio controled Barbie Dream Car didn't miraculously build itself!

Go look it up. Osiris, Horus, Tammuz, Attis and Mithras were all pagan gods long before jesus supposedly existed and all supposedly died and rose from the dead.
You can deny it all you want, it doesn't change the fact that your jesus story is unoriginal. In fact one of the many reasons why pagans couldn't stand christianity was because it was a blatant ripoff of pagan concepts repackaged as Jewish mysticism.
And for those of you who are going to say that the pagans stole the christian ideas: explain how the Ancient Egyptians could have stolen something that they came up with thousands of years before your god supposedly lived.

Don't you christians misinterpret this ?
The "word of god" actualy means "law of god",because what god says,you have to obey ?
People mix theese things a lot,and I'm tired of answering stupid questions from formalist christians,who take the bible as it reads.
DIDN'T ANYONE TELL YOU THAT BIBLE IS WRITTEN IN METAPHOR ?
