Do you think Al Jazeera Internation (English Version) is or parallels to Fox news in terms of bias. I have been watching it for a few months now and i actually believe it is quite good, though they usually cover the arab or "Muslim" world, which is fair enough since that is where they HQ is.

Have anyone watch YouTube lately ? If you enter "kid fights" or "skaters"......It is absolutely horrific the type of barbaric behaviour these teens are exhibiting. And NO it is not because of the parents !!!! My concern is not directed towards the participant (because they are lost cause as far as I'm concern), but the spectator. In once clip two girls are beating the hell out of each other. The boys around them are cheering them on and coerce them to increase the violence...I wonder if these kids would react the same watching a lynching or a rape in progress !!!! Has our teens completely lost all moral compass ? Are today's parents are forced to accept these behaviors because they have no choice and stretched becuase of work and responsbility ?

It seems that a lot of celebs or stars wear necklaces, (especially crosses) which cost lots of $, yet they are only doing this to make a fashion statement. How do you feel about this?

Matt24:34

"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled."
Meaning that the return of Christ and the end of the world are to take place during the lifetime of the disciples.
Which obviously didn´t.

Serious...we are born crying, get sucked into a school, get a job, get married, have kids...and then become the providers to some people...the world is really unfair, scary and nothing can be taken for granted. Whatever you believe...If God was so good, why would he let humanity starve, disasters, wars.

I heard they got sued by AA for re-wording literature that went against AA.

I am a gay Christian and I don't believe that it should be considered a disease like alcoholism.

I don't have to have sex as often as I pray faithfully. So wouldn't that be more like being a republican than an alcoholic?

Every year for four years, she's given me extra time off to participate in our local arts festival, even though it's still a busy time of the season. It really goes against my personality to "suck up" in a fake way, and I'm not usually into card giving that much, but I feel she deserves some sort of thanks besides me just saying it. What should I do?

I work Technical Support for a large telecommunications company. Part of my job involves me verifying who I am speaking to so that I do not release customers private information. That being said WHY would somone who is not the account holder call up, state they are the account holder when they are not and proceed to get upset when they cannot verify they are who they are pretending to be only to at the last moment admit they they are not the actual person. WHY? I've had grandsons say they are their grandmothers, I've had daughters say they are their father and each one has been upset when I've told them I can't help them. What do they expect? Oh sure your names Aaron A Aaronson...ok your needing your Bank Account Pin code changed...sure I'll do that for you right now. Verification? No we don't need that we'll take your word for it! Hmmmm..in a perfect world maybe.

When I was very young I went to work at a bible camp. The lady there was very much a fundie, told me that my previous salvation experience wasn't good enough. She segregated me from the other staff and used me for pretty much slave labor in the kitchen. That lasted a couple of weeks until I blew up and she fired me.
Thanks to her, I ran as far and as fast as I could away from church and from God. Later on her bible camp was taken away from her because she was casting demons out of 9 yr olds.
If she truly represented God, I saw none of the joy or peace I have since experienced in Him, only rabid judgement.
I was only 19 when that happened and pretty much a sinner like everyone else, but I did have a salvation experience when I was 8, accepted the Lord and was baptized. Trouble was, I had been abused by people who said they were Christians-by the time I was 19 I didn't know what to think, only that church was equated with hurt & hypocrisy for me. Was she for real?

I keep hearing Christian haters saying that the religiouse right is trying to make the U.S. Christians.

What law that are strictly christian are they trying to pass? name one.

I haven't seen a cross on anyone's property since Chistmass. Manoras out numbered crosses even then.

I went to the book store: There was 4 bookshelves devoted to the occult, 2 for eastern religions and 1 and a 1/2 to Islam. Judaism and Christianity shared one bookshelf.

At the news stands the average was 14 different porno mags, for every 1 religion themes mag or book.

47 states require evolution being tought in highschools only 3 allow both evolution and creationism. None teach only creationism.

None of the Republican candidates for president are trying to bring back teacher lead prayer in school (only a moment of silence)

so you paranoid people who think Christians want a theocracy- - you need help.

I'm not a Christian- doesn't make me a Christian hater.

I'm only talking about respect with regards to religious beliefs.

I personally feel that I should not have to tip-toe around the subject. I think that belief in any kind of imaginary super-deity should be held in the same regard as an adult that believes in Santa claus, fairies, or Zeus.

I'm asking because I mentioned an article at work about how Douglas Adams became an atheist because of reading "The Selfish Gene" by Dawkins.
A co-worker whom I wasn't talking to got offended thinking it was disrespectful.

But the truth is that I DON'T respect his beliefs. And why should I?

I am curious what others think.

Oh. . And for believers reading this. Do you openly respect the beliefs of other religions? Christians: would you refrain from talking about your beliefs around a Muslim? or vice-versa?
