Society & Culture - 25 July 2007

Why can't religious people just admit that they don't know. Why do we as humans have to make up bullcrap stories and than make fun of those who don't buy into those bullcrap stories. You have the Christians who believe that some invisible man in the sky created the world in 7 days, the buddhists believe that someone cracked open an egg and out popped existence. Ironically enough, Muslims have no problem with the Big Bang Theory of the Theory of Evolution, but they still believe in a lot of stupid crap. Why can't people just admit "I DON"T KNOOOOOOOOOOW." As an atheist, I will be the first one to admit that I have no bloody clue as to how the universe came into existence and to how life came about. Instead of making up some retarted story, I just admit that I have no clue.

I am a Lakota Sioux Native American, and a few months ago finally got off my reservation, finished my english lessons, and began attending a public school. Now I am curious about white people in particular because my school is predominately white. Why do white girls want blonde hair? Why do they use the word like ina sentence more than three times? Do white guys only like white girls? Why do some white guys think it is funny to burp and/or fart in public? I am confused to the entire white society, including the fact that many white consider themselves mixed if one half their family is geramn and the other italian. You are still white, no? In indian tribes, you are still indian even though your mother may have been cherokee and your father black foot. Just curious about whites. I love white people they just confuse me.

Because God made you for a reason, he also decided when you would be born and how long you would live. He planned the days of your life in advance, choosing the exact time of your birth and death.

The Bible says, "You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book!" [Psalm 139:16]

There is also this:
Regardless of the circumstances of your birth or who your parents are, God had a plan in creating you.
Under this view of the universe, God plans everything.

Rick Warren said, "He planned the days of your life in advance, choosing the exact time of your birth and death." Let's examine one simple implication of this statement.
What this means is that God pre-planned every abortion that has taken place on our planet.

This guy dug through the entire life history of Mother Theresa, found one indiscretion, and now someone calls her the spawn of Satan!!! Forget the tens of thousands of lives she saved, she didn't want to let someone get divorced, so shes worse than Hitler, right?

I mean, come on! Criticizing a priest who is accused of molestation is one thing, although I would not do it myself ("judge not", and I have a LOT of things I don't want to be judged on!) But I guess they're running out of ammo, so now they turn on and attack a little old lady whose life was devoted to helping the poor and homeless!!

Anyone else find this amusing?

Or are they afraid to do otherwise? Are there any muslims who prefer not to wear the veil but do it anyway? are men being considered superior to women? i mean, i really don't care if muslims wear the veils or not, i was only wondering why the women have to go through such bondage? i have heard stories of acid being thrown over women and have been beaten for revealing too much skin. is this what the Q'uran teaches? i feel sorry for those women at times; how do they live life? Alot of women say that they want to waer the veil, is that so? why does it matter how you dress, and why does it not for the men as much? tell me. thanx.

These are those subwoofer systems. They both play these EXTREMELY loud movies with explosions. Movies like Independence Day or Saving Private Ryan. Every night. It sounds exactly like the volume of a movie theater. It goes through the wall like the wall was made of paper. I already nicely asked one of the neighbors to keep it down. It stopped for 2 weeks and now it is right back up to the same level. I could swear it is even louder now. It goes on pretty late too. What can I do about neighbors who just don't care. My apartment complex is notorious for doing nothing about noise complaints. That is actually one of the reasons why we moved to a new unit. They wouldn't do anything about out previous noisy neighbors. The cops here won't do anything unless they can hear the noise from outside and 100 feet away. The OUTSIDE walls are pure concrete. Therefore, they didn't do anything. I feel STUCK and defenseless! What can I do???!!!

Find two internet sites that deal with the New Testament, one that exemplifies "analytical study" of the New Testament

then...

• Why did you choose these two sites as examples?
• How would you characterize the approach of the site that does not approach the New Testament analytically?
• What value did you find in the site that does approach the New Testament analytically?

And yes this is to help me with homework... please.... this is only part of it worth like 10 points, but I don't really understand it.. HELP PLEASE.... I owe you!!

Judaism. It seems to be focused on how you live your life today, and is less focused on simply being a believer than it is with being a good person. Christians, I'm not attacking you, but perhaps you should look into the roots of your religion and compare your tenents with those of Judaism, so that you can see what was lost when christianity decided not to follow any of the rules of Judaism.

I'm not telling you to convert, being a Jew is much harder than being a christian, but I am saying that perhaps you could pick up a few nuggets about God that can help you better understand him and make you a better person. After all, it's the same God that you worship, right? So it isn't like it's idolatry or blaspheme or anything like that. You'd just be learning what Jesus knew and followed, helping you to better understand your savior and giving you insight into his words that you just can't get from those that don't know about Judaism.

Are you willing to do that?
