Society & Culture - 30 July 2007

just started work in a company. In my first day, i knocked on someone's door (his office facing my cubicle) and introduced myself. We had a little friendly chat. The next day I met this person in the corridor but he completely ignored me. Should i just ignore him next time????

He turned out to be the Director.

I got an invitation in the mail to be a motivational speaker at a youth correctional facility. I am a convicted Felon. What do you suggest? I am going to tell them very briefly about my crime and a little about my experience locked up and spend most of the time talking about my struggle on the outside and my major achievements since I"ve been out. Those include, Graduating High School, Having Accupuncture Treatment for anger and depression, Becomming a Crochet Teacher, Shaking my prosecutors hand at my church and stuff like that. Any suggestions? These kids will probally be violent offenders like me. I don't want to go into detail about my abuse that lead up to my crime. How do I pollitely avoid handle hard questions?

I have noticed that there are quite a few people in the U.S. looking for a second wife. How do they get away with this?

p.s. I am not interested in being a second wife, I am just wondering how people in the U.S. are able to practice polygamy.

You can typically identify people of various faiths by the way they dress. Why do Christians look like the world?
How would you know what a Christian looked like if there weren't carrying a Bible and on their way from church?

In other words, what would make you say "you see that young lady/young man, thats a Christian!"

Please serious replies only....I'm very interested to see what you have to say.

I understand about free will, but what if all the caster claims it does is eliminate negativity between you and not force feelings. Is that true of most spells?Has someone done anything like this? And if you do them, could you contact me with info?

"63But Jesus remained silent.
The high priest said to him, "I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God."
64"Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied. "But I say to all of you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven." "
Matthew 26:63 - 64

"7Look, he is coming with the clouds,
and every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him;
and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen."
Revelation 1:7

"15Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?" "
Revelation 6:15 - 17

I do not believe in any religons, i would like to because religous people have something they truly belief in, so you could say im jealous.
its more i cant than dont want to, it would be far nicer to belive in a heaven than just nothingness after death.but i just cant get my head around it, i just cant believe its true.
i heard you go to hell if you dont believe in god and follow his comandments, is this true?
my point is i cant help it and didnt choose to not believe,
so if there is a god, surely hed know as he would be my 'creator', that i wouldnt believe in him and if the above is true, would go to hell, where is the just in something that punishes you for something you cannot control and is in no way your fault? it is you choice whether to believe or not, but more a choice of which side suites your beliefs best, i think we dont have control over what it is we deep down believe.

I ask you for a pray there is a terrible fire in Gran Canaria and Tenerife Island in Spain right now, the fire is near several towns of my very close friend, please pray God to help us and stop the hot wind that is helping the fire to grow.

I know that it doesn't matter the language if we pray Him with and only feeling he is going to answer us.

thank you son much, I really believe that your praying can help a lot of people.

How could anyone suggest that this supposed omnipotent God suffered the same way as innocent babies did, as precious children did? As all the Jews did?

Two days ago, someone asked how old you should be before learning about the bible. The overwhelming response was as young as aou can get 'em (basically). I can see teaching the 'love' taught in the bible but, that's not all that's in there. Genocide, homocide, rape,... pretty much every evil concept that responsible parents would try to shield their children from until they reach an age of comprehention that it, the bible is but one book of one religion and NOT the only choice.

The tag line is kind of 'off'. Christianity is out there, period. How old were your children when you exposed them to different religions, what were they, and how did you do it? If in fact that is what you choose to do. Why?

)o( Blessed Be!

P.S. NO cut & paste please. They won't be read.

I mean let's face it, the ONLY place god exists is in the pages of a book of fiction. So quoting that book of fiction to prove the existence of a fictional character, is like my quoting The Lord of the Rings in order to prove the existence of Frodo.
So why would someone answer a question with the following;

Dear Yoda,
Mark4:11-12.

God Bless and change you!

I don't get it. Please explain how a passage from a book of bronze age mythology, proves that a deity exists?
Of course the answer is simple if you actually think about it; it doesn't. What it does, is draw attention away from reality. Thankfully, It doesn't work anymore.
But really, who falls for this stuff anymore? How gullible does one have to be to fall for it?

do you practice "tough love" when dealing with a friend whom you know is wrong in their conviction or path?
not necessarily in reference to religion or spirituality or non belief, but in their choices, their paths, their ideas?
