Society & Culture - 4 August 2007

I tried it before and didn't care much for it, mostly for sensory factors (smell, taste, ect) but after that I didn't feel the need to do it again. Back to the question though, why do people start smoking nowadays? I mean all the facts are right in front of you that it is very harmful and could/will give you various problems along with emptying your wallet (I live in California, people from here will know what I mean).

I'm not saying that your right to smoke should be taken away or anything just curious why people start smoking these days.

I am a deist but we have many things in common , we both share the belief that not only religions poison people's mind but are becoming increasingly dangerous to society.

When I asked one of the other girls she avoided the question. SO i know it's true. How do I handle myself around her and the girls talking about wedding plans? I guess you should really get your list together before you start asking people and then changing your mind. I hope to God she doesn't ask me to be a greeter. I will definatley decline. Insulted, yes I am.

Seriously folks post stupid questions all the time like "Atheists does your non-belief stem from wanting to do bad things?" or "Where do your morals come from?"
I have also seen one that specifically asked "Atheists is rape ok?"
So when I actually post something in reference to that why is everyone so shocked. Doesn't it fit the stereotypes already placed on non-beleivers?

I have become close friends with a Jehovah's Witness. I, personally am not religious and feel whatever someone wants to believe is their choice. I was reading some of the rules of Jehovah's Witnesses and one states that you can not be friends with anyone who is not a JW. Can someone explain the reasoning behind this. (my friend is on vacation otherwise I'd ask him)

Whenever I ask why is there evil and misery in the world I am told all evil came after, and because of, man's original sin.
Ok, it's hard for anyone to disagree that the instinct for an animal (or human) to kill another living thing to survive is a very evil concept by anyone's standards. So, if every possible type of evil was caused by man himself, after the original sin, how did any living thing survive beforehand? Did they eat each other? But that was started afterwards, wasn't it? Or is the garden of Eden idea just meant to be symbolic and that presents an easy answer for anyone explaining away this idea. My point is that I find it difficult to bellieve that the basic instinct of kill to survive was created by any loving Deity. So, survival, along with death, fear etc. etc. all came after sin? Hmm...

I have a pretty good discerning of right and wrong but. I know whats wrong and whats right. But when I sin I don't feel guilty. Even thoe when I hurt someones feelings I keep thinking to myself God would want me to apologize. I always apologize because I knw God would want me to but I don't feel guilty. Is that wrong. Because the bible points out that there some chrisrians who don't feel remorse and will be judged (i think). I want to do the right thing but I just don't really feel guilt. I just have the nkowledge that what I did was wrong.

What's life like if you retaliate or give revenge to people that have wronged you? Does anything negative come back?
And in general, what's life like, does it usually go smoothly or are there many times that bring burden?
Thank you, I'm just wondering about different experiences to different groups of people.
