Society & Culture - 11 June 2007

So most people on here seem pretty certain in their own beliefs. How many people here can think and argue like someone outside of their beliefs? I mean intelligently, not mockingly.

For example, as an atheist, can you make a rational argument for theism? Can a Muslim understand Christians? Do Christians understand why and how pagans think?

I'm curious. Anyone want to give it a try?

I realize most of the adults in this section have their own views on this, but would you tell a child this? I think the standard Christian answers seems to be Heaven, but what if the child wasn't your own? What if a niece or a neighbor or someone asked you when their parents weren't around to answer? If you personally believe you go into a hole in the ground, is it a good idea to tell a child this? Why or why not?

What do you think about what this story says? If you went to the link, did it change your mind about anything?

"It's an event that might occur in any family--capturing a child's imagination and sending him in a new direction, perhaps shaping a lifetime. A young boy in Lahore, Pakistan, often told his uncle that he wanted to grow up to join the Army and kill Hindus. Then he saw a feature film about the man who founded his country. Now he talks about growing up to be another Jinnah, a man of justice and peace."

Why Do Christians Think That Reading The Bible Is Important?
I'm Studying For My Religous Education GCSE Which Is Tomorrow Just Doing A Past Paper And Wondered If Anyone Knew The Answer? I Have So Far Put:-
Christians Believe By Reading The Bible They Have Some Relationship With God.
Is This Correct?
Thanks. XxXxX

What does it make you think?

"Whom can you trust, if not God? But God has also been manipulated, and this is the saddest aspect of the complex we call the Middle East. God has been hijacked by terrorists. Islam is not the problem. Terrorism is the problem, and terrorists have hijacked both Islam and God."

Amanda is a 21-year-old from Tampa, Florida who now wants to pursue professional modeling. She is fun, loving, honest, unique, and aspiring model. Her face is very sweet and her body compliments her face. I think she can pull off so many looks like formal dresses, casual wear and much more.

feeding hungry people or educating people to support and feed themselves or helping people in countless other ways like I thought was the Christian way?

I can find NO justification for this. PLEASE explain this and help me understand.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this ... and please don't attack me - I'm not trying to do the same to church-goers - I just want to know why.

Why is it that only certain opinions are allowed on Yahoo answers? It seems to me that certain people on this only want to hear the answers that suit them. Do you realise that the world is not a bright happy little place and life is not all about questions like "does he really love me". Just deal with the fact that there are people who hate blacks and hispanics, who love war, and people who get off on things that make others sick. I recently was reported because i told some goody two shoes housewife that she could spice up her love life by giving her man a golden shower. What was wrong with that, i love golden showers, if you dont well too bad. I also had other questions taken off answers because they involved some cruelty. Hey guess what A$$holes, life does have cruelty in it, igmoring it wont make it go away.

We all know that what a diversity exists on planet earth.

Diversity of races,animals, insects ,fishes,stones...

and diversity of individuals,personality,music,literature,religions,philosophy

How diverse they are!

Even within myself there is the diversity.

I watch comedy I laugh I watch serious movie I get serious, I watch pornographic movie I get sexually aroused.

I love Jazz but also enjoy techno and trance and I love
Bach and Rachmaninoff.

Every time I listen or watch different things I am in completely different mood .

And I like dating different girls.

Sometimes I wonder "Am I too fickle or capricious?"

What the hell do I reall like or am I?

Or Is it just diversity within me?

Can anybody answer plz?

Here, two most commonly quoted verses of the Quran that are commonly taken out of context are put into context and explained. If you looked at the site, what is your opinion of it? Did it answer a question you may have had?

"“Violence in Islam” is an oxymoron; a meaningless phrase. The contemporary Muslim world situation appears to make the question, “violence in Islam?”, a relevant one. Anti-Islam forces, such as, Christian Fundamentalists, Zionists of all colors and shades, Russians, Serbs, Hindu Fundamentalists and others love to refer to the cherry-picked Qur’an verses to point out that Islam means terrorism and violence, not peace. Unfortunately, the ignorant masses of the West have been raised since their school days in believing that Islam is terrorism and violence. In addition, the pro-Zionist media loves to please the masses through reinforcing this belief and for keeping Islam unpopular in the West in order to prevent its propagation."

This is mainly directed at people that don't believe in God or any other type of supreme being.

If you do not know what Pascal's Wager is, here is an overview on it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_Wager

Essentially, here is what it says. It takes two variables. The first is if God exists or not. The second is if you live like God exists or not. There are four possible outcomes. If you live like God does exist, then you can gain everything if God exists but lose nothing if God does not exist. However, if you live like God does not exist, you gain nothing if God does not exist but lose everything if God does exist.

It's not meant to convert people and make them believe. All it is designed as is a way to convince people that it's worth looking at.
