Society & Culture - 16 June 2007

did you find that by the time you reached adulthood, you became desensitised to its teachings?

Even though it is still ingrained in me to a certain extent, every time I hear quotes and passages, I think to myself 'yeah, yeah, blah blah heard it all before'.

I can't help but wonder if I would have the same blaze attitude if I converted as an adult, rather than a child.

I'd be grateful to hear your experiences. Thank you.

What the hell does that mean?

Well the way I see it I think it means that you can think and do and be anything you want to do in life.

either

Bad

or

Good

Being atheist is doing whatever you want to do.

This has to be true if Atheism is not a religion then every single atheist can have different idea's and moral's on how to live their lives.

This has to be true.

Are we, as Catholics, supposed to take the book of Genesis(garden of eden) as actual historic fact or symbolism. Please no Catholic bashers.

And dont give me any bulldust about "we keep Sunday in honour of the resurrection. Sunday aint the Sabbath". Saturday is the Sabbath of the Commandment
You cant justify Sunday that way.

Even though I have more German, Polish, Slovenian ancesters, my last name, Matyas, is likely Hungarian. My great-grandfather (dad's dad's dad) was a orphan from Austro-Hungry and served on horseback during WWI. When he immigranted to the US, they converted the name from Matyaz to Matyas (unverified).

Anyways it seemed almost no one could pronounce my last name, like I did, just by looking at it. Only two people did: My 8th grade chemistry teacher, and a college professor who came from Austria, who later asked me if it was Hungarian.

Last year, a language professor told me I pronounced it wrong, then she pronounced it. Way different! I told her about it being originally Matyaz, and then she pronounced Matyaz; closer sounding, but still different. Ten months later Hungarian students visited the campus and pronounced my name differently then I did. How could my family screw that up all these years? They pride themselves in "Polish heritage".

I pronounce it "ma-TIE-is"

You can do anything you want to do in life and it's your choice.

Helping people

Hurting people.

Doing whatever you wish right?

No tree in India, Nepal or Indonesia has produced the ek-mukhi in the past few centuries. Only if one acquires one which has been passed down from generation to generation might it be possible to find this exceedingly rare object.

Because Jesus took away the ten and replaced them with two. Love god with all your heart and love others as he loves us.
But if I realy loved God wouldnt I
1. Not have any other gods.
2. Not worship idles
3. Not use his name in vain.
And
4. Keep holy the Sabbath day that He blessed and made holy.?

I need to find exactly where in any church literature it says that Visiting Teachers should be in Sunday Dress (skirts) when they go out to do their Visiting Teaching. Prefer an exact reference to a Handbook or Talk by a Prophet that mentions this for a class I am teaching about V.T. . Please no church bashers!!!

To pray to any Saint, for something so insignificant? Why would a person pray to Saint Anthony to help her find papers she lost? How immoral is this?

I think hell is going to be your biggest fear times a million. this is my take on hell.

Lying on a floor unable to move while millions of bugs and spiders bit you over and over again and I slowly roast on the insides from some unseen fire. May sound weird to you but this really is my biggest fear.

What do you think hell is going to be like?
