Society & Culture - 8 June 2007

I don't mean to generalise as I know there are Christians who do, but quite a few seem to have no idea at all. I will try and explain a bit first before I ask my question. Think of it this way. You know how people all are different, with different size feet, arms, noses and the like? Well all animals are like that as well. Millions of years ago lived a creature that was the common ancestor between apes and humans. Different climates ,predators and food sources in different areas meant that some of these ancestors with particular traits flourished in different areas. The animals that were best suited to their environment survived. This continued for millions of years, tiny difference by tiny difference until you get the modern day apes and humans.

Why are some christians so opposed to trying to understand evolution, if not simply so as to be able to refute it?

why are u always accusing muslims,why are u always making muslims the murderers,the haters,and even evil itself.

Please dont say that and dont believe what u r told until u check it by urself.Muslims are in palestian,lebenon ,France,Britain,USA,Iraq,Saudiarabia,and even Egypt so they are not few besides i once lived in saudiarabia and Egypt and i know them better than any one do,we talked about politics,sports,art,and science.i know that some of them are aggressive and haters of the west but this is natural like any other group,Every nation or group contains both god and bad people but the fewer the bad the better the nation,besides,i think that shia'ah is the real proplem not muslims in general.Even if we supposed that all muslims are bad,we should not hate them,we should find ways to get closer to them.Ofcource this is just a supposal

Why are u doing this,plz stop that

If someone posts "answersingenesis.com" as their source, do you find their answer more credible?

I want to count all "yes" and "no" answers, so everyone please answer and start with a "yes" or "no".

Thanks,
Tik

I work at a pet store and I (along with other associates) have been having an issue with parents with young children. Parents will tell their children "If you dont stop doing (whatever it is that they are doing) this lady is going to (yell at you, be mad at you, etc) one mother even told her daughter I would hit her if she did not stop bothering her about a new pet!! That child then later asked her mother again and then saw me and started screaming and pointing, what do I do in a situation like this without being outright rude, which is really what I would LOVE to do?

Since I have been on this site, I read so many posters claiming GOD is not about love, because of all the ills in the world, people's suffering, children dying and starving and lately people that say what kind of GOD would ask you to sacrafice your children.
First the most important thing is that GOD commands us to love and trust him above anything else in this world, including children, parents, friends...That is also the First Commandment.

Most of us trust people but only to a point because putting all your faith and trust in a human being can ultimately bring dis-appointment because human beings are im-perfect, and can fail. I sometimes ask myself why GOD permitted such beautiful humble created to be slaughtered or eaten in vicious ways by
predators, but I also remember Jesus' sacrafice, GOD's promises that will never fail from a Loving perfect GOD.

Do you think people who don't believe understand that kind of trust?

By the way, I eat meat and I'm not in PETA, but I still don't like the idea of burning animals on an alter.

Yesterday i attended this church and this pastor who is known
as the redneck Gab (GAB) standing for gays are B------
started preaching and this is what he said, and i quote.So
greedy is the sun in this land so void of moisture,the babies
do not have johnson,s baby oil to protect themselves from the element, because some dirty old geezer needs to use the
oil for clandestine activites.These people ,especially the homosexuals are worse than animals because no animal
ever gets involved with the a--- only the devil and his boyfriend
know,s and for this atrocious sin, hell is surely for them first.
of which a everyone in the church went in a frenzie and hollaed
them lot are really nasty .What does the gay society think of this

My MIL called and said they were coming for a rare visit. They said they wanted to reconnect with our lives. She blames losing touch on taking care of her sick mother and helping with her husbands business, so she SAYS. But the real reason is she has been obsessed with her daughters toddler daughter. SHe has spent every weekend with them for two years. SO, imagine our surprise when she calls two days before their visit to let us know the daughter (husband's sister) and her baby can come too! My hubby and I are frustrated b/c we know we won't get to visit with them, only watch them hoven over the baby.

Well as annoying as it is to try to talk to them with that kid in the room, today they've told us we have to cut dinner short tonight so the baby can be home by 8 (not so she can sleep but so they can play with her). It's friday night and we're taking them to a nice restaurant. They only visit once a year so it would be nice if they just went along and let us show them our life.
