Society & Culture - 9 June 2007

Welll, I have only been on here for a few minutes and noticed a few people who obviously have nothing better to do with their time that post offensive and ignorant questions and responses. If there is someone who continues to do it, use the BLOCK feature. Right click on their Avatar and press "block User"" this prevents them from being able to answer any of your questions. and if you see some one like that post a question, just ignore them.
They wont get the attention they so deeply crave and will soon get the message.

No guesses as to who I am going to block from this.

I just answered a question here:

http://sg.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070609135718AAFE2Ap&r=w&pa=FZptHWf.BGRX3OFMiTVRUr.P06NrcBcgPygh15Ux06RTlHu9aw--&paid=answered#OLNTBlC6KTiPpH9NAX_W

and read some of the responses, by some "Christians". I have tried really hard not to call people names on here, or feel as though they are uneducated. But the responses by "I love god" and "fireball226" and others simply appalls me!! If you so much as opened an american history book you would know this is true.

Does anyone else see this??

BTW, there were some GREAT answers by most of you in there. Thanks.

Sometimes when I am praying I catch my self asking Jesus to tell my mother who passed away that I love her and miss her. I don't even know if it's something that the Bible saids can or cannot happen. I know that Jesus intercedes prayers and takes them directly to God but what about to deceased loved ones?

Being an athiest is kind of like....
getting a check for a million dollars and not feeling like going to the bank to cash it.

Jesus gave you the gift of forgiveness, so you could have eternal life and all the riches in heaven.
And the athiest says "Thats ok, you can keep it"

What do you think the earth will be like in 15 years.
How will events play out. I am interested in what does people think about the future.
Muslims will take over? Be stamped out? Or stay the same or food shortages? earthquakes? disease wipe out humanity?

Ok. This is coming from a major vampire lover. I've read plenty of books on the subject, read up the entire history of vampirism. It's fascinating stuff, but you have to draw the line somewhere. There are no vampires. Being one is physically impossible, and the people who really and truly think they are are delusional.

What arguements do you have to support your way of life, "vampires?"

History says that we came here to escape being torchered and killed for what we believe in. But in the same instance we forced the Indians to become christain. To me that's like slapping a child and telling them it's not nice to hit. The same thing happened to the so called 'witches'. Can a whole country be so lost in it's own lies that every person living in it can't see the truth?

All religions teach us to respect people following any faith whatsoever. Then why do some fanatics say and insist that only their religion and their master or savior is THE ULTIMATE and the only right one on the earth?

With due respect to all, don't you think that it's their insecurity about their own religion and their inner feeling that their religion is NOT THE BEST & Ultimate?

My professor wrote me a letter of recomendation and it was great. Is it impolite to not give him a thank you card or some sort of gift? And if I do get him a gift, is wine too personal?

I know that African Americans were once discriminated against in the Mormon Church. There was once a piece of Mormon scripture thought to say that dark skin was cursed.

Then in the 1970s this was changed and they said that dark skin was not a curse.

I am wondering if race is still in any way an issue with LDS Church doctrine. Is there any role that a black person is prohibited from holding in the LDS Church? Do any barriers remain, doctrinally or politically?

1. The bible is not unadulterated truth. It contradicts itself and contains actions that are evil, and therefore unholy.
God orders moses to kill a man who is caught gathering wood on the sabbath. This is the opposite of forgiveness and evil, it could not have been ordered by God.
God is subject to his own rules. Goodness is his nature, therefore even though he is all powerful he cannot order evil to occur. He could, but he wont. Therefore God does not support war, or crusades, or any form of persecution.
God shows his infinite power in his ability to give powers to his creations. If he were to assist people materially (i.e. wealth and power) he would be responsible for any sin they incur after having attained it. If God put Bush into power, he is responsible for all the sins Bush has caused with his power.
Terrorists use God to justify their sinful actions. So do evangelicals. God bestows his graces on sinful and holy people.
For many are called, but few are chosen. Mat 22:14

The Religious perspective is that truth is Absolute and it is the goal of mankind to discover this absolute truth which guides our actions and our way of thinking.

History displays that truth is Relative, even in such world religions where concepts are considered taboo and then normal (best illistration I can come up with is the consumption of pork byproducts which was, in the Old Testament considered forbidden and is now considered normal/acceptable).

My question is, how can we logically defend absolute truth when history and society display such prominent examples of relative truth?
