Society & Culture - 27 July 2007

I was reading his eBay listing - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300131473894&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3D300131473894%26category0%3D%26fvi%3D1 and I noticed that I've read his "story" somewhere before. I did some digging and found out that he stole it from this site - http://paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa012102b.htm

He stole this paragraph and more:
"About eight months later, I wasn't hanging around Mike and Andrew like I used to. Over the summer I had become closer with new friends - mostly girls, but especially with a girl named Christina, who was very superstitious. I had shared with her my experiences from months back and she too had tried to contact the spirit world. She said that she met a girl named Laura who was raped and had died. Christina wanted to talk to her again tonight... through the rituals. I hesitatingly said okay." He switched Harriet Finger to Scarlett Finner! >:(

Respect to you all, peace and health to you and yours.

and don't say that Jesus guy. Mine is Onan.

# Genesis 38:9
And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother

14:4. And We sent not a Messenger except with the language of his people, in order that he might make (the Message) clear for them. Then Allâh misleads whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

On this R & S I often defend other religions when it would be easier to just agree with the negative comments. Do any of you do this?( I think I do it out of a sense of fairness -- particularly when a religion I know something about is being thoughtlessly attacked.) Have you done this ? And if so, why---or why not?

Why do people spend so much money on churches! Some spend half a million to a million $$ on churches! And only like I think it's 8% of churches donate to charities! Why don't they spend it on something more use full like feeding homeless, or helping those in need?

Why do you tell them they are neither race? That is like saying they are nothing!!! Is anything worse than nothingness? NO
The fact is; you are what race you look like!! Halle Berry is black period because she is treated as black and if she was walking down the street ( and you did not know about her) that is what you would call her!!!

Why do you say we cannot be proud of either race because we are neither when we obviously look like a race?

I pray to God and I keep my heart and eyes and ears open to his command. I have a girlfriend who I love very much and she is good to me and also sometimes is very impatient with me; impatient to the point that our communication is shut down, almost anything I say whether expressing love, concern, or desire to do ANYTHING to help is annoying to her.
It seems that most people would not tolerate this and would break up, but I feel that God is asking me to stay with her and continue working it out with her. I want to do this, and I am committed.
What Bible passages are recommended?
How do I pray to hear God's word and receive guidance?

This woman I would like to be my wife...

I have always gotten flashes of events whether awake or asleep. They are always quick and don't really tell me much but they seem to always warn me about something. But it always seems like insignificant things, like where Im going or who I will be with. My mom and grandmother say they get the same things. What do you think?

Varnashram dharma as described in the Bhagavad Gita is described as a beautiful organized human society where people live in harmony and peace.

How did the caste brahmins let it go out of hand or where did the perversion of the caste system come from?

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who was incarnated as God Himself Krishna, used to embrace the untouchables and He glorified Haridas Thakur as the Namacharya or teacher of the Holy name.

Haridas Thakur was considered an outcast and muslim by hindus.

But Sri Caitanya loved him so much that when Haridas Thakur died, Sri Caitanya carried his body and wept. He said that now the ocean is a great holy place because Haridas Thakur bathed there.

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu preached that ANYONE including animals can have a chance to love God.

Please do not think I am trying to be beligerent, because I'm not, but there is a guy who masturbates in the pews at my Church, and I'm not quite sure what to say.

I think the Pastor and him are having a relationship, because he keeps smiling while this fornicator masturbates during the sermon.

What should I do?

Ezra 1:9-11

"Now this was their number: 30 gold dishes, 1,000 silver dishes, 29 duplicates; 30 gold bowls, 410 silver bowls of a second kind and 1,000 other articles. All the articles of gold and silver numbered 5,400."

Can we all agree that 1,000+1,000+410+30+30+29 does not equal 5,400?

why did I say they feel that way? because they passionately discredit anything that the Catholic Church say, and even make up stories against the Church. if that's not deep hatred and loathing, what is it? that's definitely not an act of love.

around the end of the movie when Jesus & the discipiles are walking on the beach, Peter askes Jesus if they would wait for a man to catch up to them, Jesus said " What do you care about him." What did he mean by that? I thought that he would wait on anyone. Or am I just making a big deal about nothing?
