Society & Culture - 15 June 2007

I can tell you what is wrong. I can tell you why it's all messed up. People are stupid. They believe in a bad God. The wrong God. Many people, they do not believe in God. They believe in a God of paper and ink, a God of rocks, a God of cruelty and a God of laws. More than that, they believe in a dead God. Why can't they believe in God? Why can't they believe in a God of humans, a God of animals, a God of nature, a God of the universe, a God of kindness, a God of the stars, a God of freedom, and a God of love? Most of all, why can't they believe in a God that is alive? A God of hearts? Why do they have to believe in an outdated, ancient book of irrelevant laws? Why can't they believe in a God who is alive like us, so adapts and tries to do his best? I'm sorry for those who read this speech and do not believe in God. Please post a reply about my rant. But for the rest of you...Why?

Professor Richard Lewontin, a geneticist (and self-proclaimed Marxist), is a renowned champion of neo-Darwinism, and certainly one of the world’s leaders in promoting evolutionary biology. He recently wrote this very revealing comment (the italics were in the original). It illustrates the implicit philosophical bias against Genesis creation regardless of whether or not the facts support it:

in other words, for jewish: are u sure moses is the last prophet, or u have to exclude jesus is a true one?
For christians, are u sure jesus is last prophet or u have to exclude Mohamed is the last one?
plz, dont rush in answer, just take my Q in consideration. just search for the fact for sake of urself... after death!

"I don't believe that my Jewish ancestors thought that perjury and murder and theft were okay until they got to Mt. Sinai and were told no dice."

Hitchens' point is that moral codes actually preceded the establishment of religion, rather than being created by any religion or even by a deity.

Agree or disagree?

people study when they have homework for school, people study in college, people even study when it comes to taking their driving test, but why do people ask questions without studying or cross referencing themselves when it comes to the bible...anybody can repeat what they heard but intelligence will seek the truth...

Muslims have been claiming this for such a long time. They also churn out actual figures!
Do they have a central stastic department with a sophiticated data base?
Really , the rate @ which they claim converstion is going on for such a long time, we should all be Muslims by now!

A friend of mine who is Orthodox Jewish recently lost a friend of his to cancer and he called me up telling me that some atheist guy at his job asked him if he still believes in God... He was so offended and I do not blame him, if you want to debate the existence of God then fine, there is a time and place for that, and I want to say shame on you to those of you who have done that before, because when someone is hurting you respect there beliefs even if you do not agree, and I'm sure that happens alot because my friend said he heard atheists say that before but he didnt really care until someone had the nerve to do it right after he lost his friend.

He started doing it the first time I met him. No matter what I say, he overtalks me, especially when I start to say something. He won't say something until I start to talk. It's maddening!! I don't want to be rude, but I need to tell him in a professional way to stop overtalking me. Any good suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I know some rules don't apply anymore, but what are some rules we must follow? We as in Christians. I started from the old testament so i'm pretty much learning what pre-Christians know. I haven't even read up to Christ.

-- then why do they also insist (often in the same breath) that salvation is possible only through faith and not "works"?

In other words, it doesn't matter whether you're a good person or not, all that matters is membership in the club.

This appears to make the whole question of morality utterly irrelevant.

I don't believe in anything except what I can prove. And the only thing that I, or anyone else can prove as known fact(regarding human life), is this:
Humans, all have (or had) parents, of which the mother gave birth to the child. There are absolutely NO KNOWN exceptions to this rule.
Is this statement scientifically true?
If it is not scientific, can any one argue it with their own personall observation?
If not, deos anyone know of any person that has not been born of a woman?

Do you believe Jesus and Buddha was the same prophet but sent to earth at a different place and time to spread god's message. They both were of virgin birth, suffered with tempation for 40 days and nights, talked about loving one another, had 12 followers, had a last supper, was killed and then raised from the grave. Also both their teachs were almost parralle. I am a hardcore christian but when to heard other's opinions.

Fundamentalist Christians have captured the media spotlight almost entirely. Indeed, most Christians in the USA are either Fundamentalists or Roman Catholic.

What has happened to the role formerly played by the "Mainstream" Protestant Churches? Why have they effectively abdicated their role in the media and the nation?

two of my co-workers worked a special detail together; and the unit has been disbanned because they had "personality conflicts"... of course, EVERYONE at work has their opinion as to what happened.

I like to stay out of it! how do you address people who want to continue to conversation about others ill-fortune?
