Society & Culture - 4 August 2007

And I don't want your typical answers of because this and this and this and this is what you believe and you've been deceived. I was raised in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and have heard it my whole life. I've researched all the wonderful things that people say about my church and could probably give you some more but I want to know why people who say they are Christians and I'm not are always saying mean things about my religion like Satan answered my prayer to tell me that my church was true and good, which by the way, might be my favorite that Satan is capable of giving me feelings of peace and joy when I'm praying to my Father in Heaven. Anyways, question still stands, why do you go out of your way to research my religion it bash it? Do you honestly think that will make a difference? Wouldn't you think living a Christlike life and being an example to me would work better? I don't know though. It's just a thought.

I want to talk to Hakim, my Uncle's friend who is dead. My uncle is also dead having been murdered by 2 men he had previous trouble with. So Hakim and several of my Uncle's other friends retaliated by killing those 2 guys several weeks later in a double homicide. Then a year later Hakim goes missing and is found dead. I wanted to know how I could speak with Hakim to find out what happened to him and if he is in peace. And I want to ask him if he could bring any other dead people I know to me such as my cousin Jeff who was murdered after my mother dreamed about it. My friend suggested the ouji board which I dont know too much about. But it would connect me right?

A sister who was in my church ministry is trying to reach me, wanting me to meet her one to one. She tried to reach me several times. We haven't talked for two years. she found me through website. I dont feel close to her and I dont want to start relationship. If I call her, she will probably start calling me all the time like she used to. Do I have to feel nice and call her, say hi or just ignore? What would you do as brothers and sisters in Christ?

I had someone tell me Christ was a Christian and that is not remotely possible considering that Christianity came about after Christ's death. So if there is only one church and one religion can you tell me what church Jesus attended and what religion was he?

Everyone one time or another feels sorry for themselves, and often time we break down during events in our life which have a negative affect on us spiritually or physically.

How many of us can truthfully say that we give thanks to Allah even when sometime bad happens? Because unfortunately, people tend to only thank Allah for the happiness in their life, and don't appreciate him enough when there is something negative happening. Of course we all ask for help.... And Allah loves the believers who come to him for help... but how many of us say.. O Allah, I am content with whatever you will. Please help me in over coming this, and pass all tests in life.

Did you know fellow Muslims that Allah rewards us for everything we go through...
The Prophet (PBUH)said: "No fatigue, illness, anxiety, sorrow, harm or sadness afflicts any Muslim, even to the extent of a thorn pricking him, without Allah wiping out his sins by it." [Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim]

I often talk about "you guys" when talking to a group of people. But, when you are talking to a group of ladies, they always give me funny looks, because they obviously are not guys.

So, is there a "female" version of "You guys" or what else could be used to refer to a the group of women you are talking to?

"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters - yes, even his own life - he cannot be my disciple." -- (Luke 14:26)

Most Christians feel obligated to soften the face meaning of the word 'hate' to something like 'love less than me,' even though the Greek word miseo means 'hate.'

Why is it that the conclusions they draw never seem to make any sence, or are based upon anything real?

Yesterday Laura Bush visited Minneapolis and MPLS Deputy Police Chief Robert Allen actually said..." it was a MIRACLE that the school bus didn't fall into the river, and that is PROOF there is a god."

So God can keep the school bus safe but not prevent the bridge from collapsing and ten others from dying?

Come on, wake up Christians!

This is what happens when we live in a society that basis its values on arcadic, agrarian society values like procreating like the world is about to end and worshipping false gods. Instead of a society base on math, science, the arts and culture (only 18% of Americans have a passport) .

What do you think?
