In relation with the beating against the member of our Supervisory Team on the work site, we would like to express our dissapointment toward ABC ltd which cannot control its staff on the work site so that this action happens repeatedly. Therefore we would like to ask PROM to issue a strong warning letter in response to this event so that it would not implicate with the comfort of supervision on the work site.

I am broken hearted to know that the world I live in has little compassion for those who are unable to help themselves. I know that when I come across a homless person I go out of my way to help or to talk to them. When I see people who look at them disgust wether the homeless person sees the hate I personally angst for them. I saw a woman do just that walking out a store, she happened to be wearing a gold cross with stones. I could have said nothing but I cant keep my mouth shut. and quoted Ghandi "I love the teaching of christ, but for christians I would be a christian" I know its not just christian but people in general who treat the homeless as if they deserve what they made. I cannot help but wanting to be kind to these people who hurt sooo much already. Faces of hurt and anger make me feel lost in this world. I need encouragement.

Listen just because you turn into a wolf once a month doesn't mean you have the right to cut me. I know you get angry, but cry me a river would you. I don't care if you are in a rush to get home before the full moon. I got things I have to do to. Sometimes it amazes me that some creatures think they have the right to move out of a structure make up their own rules then pretend they are right. Thats why america got into all this trouble because they have a werewolf mentality. This really burns my bush. Wait in line like everybody els you untrained dog!

I am seeking to do what I can to make Christian/Gay relations better.

what can be done to make things better? probably 99% the other side, but what gays do? you can't do anything about what Christians do? - Please understand not all Christians are the same. God doesn't hate gay people and those people who say that are horribly mis-informed. That's not what the Bible says. The Bible says ALL have sinned and fall short. It doesn't single anyone out. I fall just as short as you do. I'm no better.

I'm writing questions to the Christian side as well. I'm just trying to do what I can to help make things better - It seems like a very difficult task.

A number of gay people were kind to me when my wife died, and I am trying to do my part to help.
I'm not like a lot of other people. I'm not going to get up there and bash you over the head like I'm better or something. I can honestly relate to many of you.
I don't always understand but I try. love.

Their cousins tell them they are "white-washed" and call them things like "white girls" (in Spanish). Then they go to school and are told "to go back to their own country" and some mothers do not want my daughters playing with their children for fear they might learn bad things from them. Besides teaching them to love themselves and ignore the comments of prejudiced people (we are already doing that),How can I teach my daughters how to deal with the cultural differences and prejudices both at school and within our own extended family members?

Along with the U.S., Russia has been the world's great military power. Although some hopeful signs of democracy appeared in Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in '91, today it is regressing back into her old totalitarian autocratic ways. Russian president Vladimir Putin and all of the key leaders come from the upper ranks of the KGB. Putin has made numerous moves recently to centralize authority. Experts believe Russia's oil wealth is allowing Putin to take the country back to autocracy without public outcry. Russia has a vital interest in the Middle East and Persian Gulf. Some control over this area is vital to Russia's national security. Her recent contracts have been with Islamic countries and terrorist entities (such as Iran). For Russia an invasion of Israel with an Islamic coalition would be an opportunity for her to reclaim her lost glory and assert control over the middle east.

Genesis
1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
(By this point God divided light from darkness)

1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
(By now God has created light, which he called DAY)

1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
(Oddly, God AGAIN divides light from darkness?)
(By this point God created the stars)

1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

I was standing there all minding my own biz, ok, eating a candy bar. All of a sudden a vampire swoops won and tells me I suck. I thought that was a little odd coming from a crature that does so by nature. She was cute and all, but I was insulted by this. It made me think a little. Should I be worried?

Think about it: people fall into three categories: Religious, Atheist, and Agnostic.

Now everyone who is religious (and I'm talking about all religions, not just the judeo-christian ones) believes they are going somewhere good when they die. (I'm not neccesarily saying that they ARE going somewhere good when they die, I'm just saying they think they do.) They believe they are going to heaven or somewhere heaven-like, or being reincarnated, or whatever.

The atheists believe that when you die you just go into a hole in the ground. True, that's not quite as good as heaven, but its still really not all that bad. (again, I'm not saying the atheists are right in this belief, I'm just saying that's what they think)

The only people who should logically be scared to die are the agnostics, because they have no clue what's gonna happen to them when they die.

So my question is to all of my fellow non-agnostics: Why are you scared to die?

Although I am an athiest, recently I had to attend an event at our local Hindu temple - an idol blessing. My family is very religious and wanted me to be there. They know and respect my athiesm, but asked that I come anyway. So I did, and participated where I was requested to. Mostly I did it because, well, family is FAR more important than religion in my view. How would you handle a similar situation?

2007-07-30 16:25:57 · 11 answers · asked by hulidoshi 5 in Religion & Spirituality

wrong.







I had been doing something that I condoned -- subconsciously preparing to incorporate the information while I logically followed the path of reasoning presented to arrive at the same conclusion; in other words (to a small extent) not thinking for myself. The ideas could not be truly called mine own (indeed, when can they ever be, except in the realm of idealogical relativity).

So, instead, I have decided to read the articles of others that come in direct contrast to what I currently believe, and by doing so claim the process vital to (my sense of original) growth. I have thus been reading a site ( http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics/answers.html )
and systematically devising counterarguments against the points presented there (do not take this to mean that I do not approach the site with an open mind and try to disprove before I see. I absorb the points a la tableau rousseau and then analyze them)

Damn, no more space. refresh when you get here, I'll add details...

I've been living in the states for several years already (immigrant from Hong Kong), but from time to time I still have problem with proper English:

When do I use "to" and when to use "for". For example, if I want to say something like - "This opportunity is very important to me..." - Should I say "to me" or "for me"? Could anyone give an example for each one. Appreciate it!

I mean, God didn't write it-- man did!

I've read snippets here and there, and it's got many things I find unbelievable.

If God made Adam and Eve equal, why does the Bible condemn women speaking in church? It's also got lots of other sexist claims, which in my opinion reflect the time period it was compiled in rather than God's love and equality.

Suicide is wrong? Jesus Christ walked to death willingly; many other people throughout history have also died, knowingly, for the greater good; walking to their death, willingly, suicidally. That is condemned? And what of those who haven't the strength to live and choose suicide? Shall we punish those who don't have the strength to bear hardship?

And gay marriage. I've learned it's through Leviticus that we condemn homosexuality; but a lot of his teachings are void, Old Testament material. Why follow him in this area and not the others? Also; Jesus didn't condemn homosexuality. Didn't even mention it, in fact.

What do you think?
