Society & Culture - 23 June 2007

I went to an Indian Music Concert last night by myself. It was close to where I work and I like the music so I decided to go.

I called my cousin before the concert started. She is married to an Armenian gentlemen and 1 year older than me.

She sometimes goes to Indian shows/concerts alone. I asked her how it was going alone.

She said "Nobody cares." It sounded very callous to me. Is this an appropriate this to say?

I would have said, "No, don't worry about it. Just enjoy the show."

I am also taking some classes in the evenings like fitness, jazz dance, and tennis. I did not mention it to my cousin.

I told the same things to my Aunt and she was happy and said that's good. She was glad that I would be busy and enjoy the show.

I keep my problems with my ex-husband to myself now and don't talk to my cousin. Some people are just too bitter to talk to. She asked if my ex-husband had called and I said "No" even though he had. I did not want to get into it

Revelation is happening and i can feel it in my bones! I know that nobody knows the exact time of Christ's return but is it possible that God can tell people the year it's going to happen? Not that he told me but i was just wondering. I'd love to chat with other people who are interested in the end of the world, so if anybody would like to talk about it too, please join my group: needformomentum. Tribulation the rapture and Christ's return is a tricky subject. What are your thoughts on it? I'd really like to know!!!

Looking at this site I have to wonder at all the bad blood between athiests and Christians. it really saddens me. i'm a Christian and my boyfriend, Jack B who's on here all the time, is a athiest. We have our ups & downs but religion is one thing we've agreed not to fight over and we even try to discuss it calmly. Why do a lot of the questions and answers on here seem so full of anger? Can't everyone respect each others beleif and not get mad?

I hear about 10 times a day that Satan is doing this, or Satan is doing that, like Satan is the one who made me look at that pretty girl with lust, and not the animal instinct I have.

Do you really think this Satan can control your thoughts, where in the Bible does Satan control thoughts?

And what makes you think Satan would be interested in making you think such irrelevant thoughts like maybe evolution is real, or I wish I had that guy's car?

still in his sins? Several people claimed to know and are wrong.

First, let’s try to clear up what the Catholic Church says about Confession. As Catholics we only HAVE to go to Confession if we are in a state of mortal sin.

For a sin to be ‘mortal’ three criteria have to be met. (1) The sin in question has to be a serious offense God and neighbor. All sin, by the way, has a communal dimension – that is to say, no sin is utterly ‘private’ because the community, made up of our neighbors, is always diminished by my sinful acts. (2) I must know that the sin which I have committed is a serious offense against God and neighbor. (3) The sin must have the full consent of my will. When all three (not 2 out of 3) of these conditions are met, I am, very likely in a state of mortal sin.

The phrase ‘mortal sin’ is based on the words of the Scripture in I John 5:16 which indicates that some sins are “deadly,” that is, “mortal.” As Catholics we believe that a person who dies with

I am normally one to answer many questions, but this is one question that I have to ask. I am a Christian and feel as though I have reached a point of maturity where I now create peace with others in the name of GOD. And yet, we fight a war in the name of GOD, so I am confused. During the Catholic Crusades, a war was fought in the name of GOD to remove the Muslims from Israel. Then Saladin rose up and fought the Christians (he was Muslim) in the name of GOD. The Germans fought the Americans saying (translated) GOD is with us and Americans said the same thing. Christians say that GOD is with us in a role as an occupier in Iraq while the Muslim extremist claim that they are fighting a holy war. Yet I am a man of peace. So my question is this: Am I wrong to create peace with others of different nationalities and religions? Or do I take sides in the war saying GOD is with us. I am of the personal belief that GOD is a GOD of peace and I wanted to know what others think.

I have had dreams lately that have been plagueing my mind.

One was an occurence where I was holding my daughter, and fighting demons away from her. I managed to awaken my parents and distract the demons so my parents could flee with my daughter. I then ran outside and it began to rain. I got a few yards from my house before 4 or so demons encircled me. Well I fought one of them off before the others started to walk towards me?..
( I know it sounds like a nightmare but I had very 'patron' feelings after the dream, and I just have a feeling that their is a meaning behind this.)

Another dream I had was where I , again, had a daughter and I was betrayed by her mother. In my dream I was working as a boat mechanic and I got a call from her telling me that she was taking her. Well 5 yrs later I recieved a call from her telling me to meet her at a warehouse. When I arrived I saw my 5 yr old daughter. And as I was running to her 8 men with guns came through a doorway followed by her mother.

we can go to war and get killed at 18 but we aren't old enough to decide to drink or not?? Why should we have to wait until we're 21? Do you think they should change this? Should they change the legal drinking age to 18, or be 21 to go to war??

I heard that there are around 1.2 billion Catholics, 1 billion Muslims, and just less than a billion of non-Catholic Christians (Protestants, non-denominational, Mormon, etc.). Do you think the Catholics will have babies more than the Muslims to keep the status of largest religion?

I'm not Catholic... but I would much rather there be more Catholics than Muslims...
