Society & Culture - 18 August 2007

I want to know what my religion is called. I believe in a higher power, very similar to "the force" in Star Wars. I do believe that there is a god, but god is not a deity, but the connection between everyone, and everything as well as the experiences of everone. I think the extra-terrestrials already know this, and they are waiting for us to stop fighting each other over god's real name. I believe that karma is real, and can be instant, or very gradual. I also believe in reincarnation, and ghosts. Ghosts are just spirits who are stuck on this plane for one reason or another. I pretty much believe a little bit of everything anyone has to say.

It makes me so sad to see her acting the way she's acting now. When I was younger she was my idol, my role model and all I wated was to be like her. She has real talent and her songs are great, but the way she's acting and behaving is harming her self public image, her babies, family and yup! her own wellness. I hope all that things they have in the magazines and TV is mere propaganda... but it seems too real, sadly.

Do you pray for Britney Spears and celebrities in similar situations, like Lindsay Lohan and others? because after all they are people too, they have feelings and they are one of God's child too.

I've had people tell me that they "wish" I would believe in God.

Well, go ahead, make your wish--but also, tell me WHY I "should" believe in God.

Just like Cinderella, your wish won't last.

You have until midnight my time (2 hours, 35 minutes) to tell me why, and I promise to take every reason into full consideration--NOT from the point of view of an atheist, but from the point of view of someone undecided.

Time starts now.

Make your wish.

But tell me why.

Are any of you really excited about Jesus? Lately I am just so excited to know him, to love him, to learn about him. I can feel his love for me. Sometimes I just want to shout it out. Do any of you feel this way? Please tell me about it.
Thanks,

I told someone who was still in the closet that I liked them and they rejected me, but looked at me with sad eyes afterwards for a long time, but never said anything to me. What happened here?

You might think you and your mind are one in the same but I don't considering I'm constantly telling by mind to shutup so I can sleep or concentrate on something, there is the me telling my tool to shutup because its thoughts aren't needed at this time. I'm sure most of us does this from time to time.

I've never heard it brought up in the medical field but the rambling mind is probably the cause of a lot of insomniacs.

Any realistic idea will be duly noted and stored for possible use.

Conversion of believers and fanatics is out of the question, the first target should be the indecisive.

This Q is the second in a series of strategic planning to study how to curb religious interest in the world.

I was watching this thing on the discovery channel. These guys built this house that works totally on solar power. They were using these new kinds of of solar panels that were efficient enough to power their house. When it got cloudy outside, the panels always had enough stored energy to last for a few weeks without sun. These guys lived in this house for like a year and they never once ran out of energy. They did not pay a single energy bill that entire year. The problem right now is that these new panels are too expensive for the general public. The other problem is that they cannot get any governmental funding to research ways to make them less expensive. If there was a vote of some kind, would you be willing to give up some of the states tax dollars to fund these people????

I'm an atheist, and it's always super confusing when Christians accusingly claim that I believe in the Big Bang.

I really don't care if the universe was created by a Big Bang or not. Can someone explain Christian's fascination with atheists and the Big Bang? Or, maybe all of the other atheists are just different than me.

In short, do you think that scattered atheists like us have leverage over the superstitious mass? Or do you think that we´re just barking in the wind on our own?

Believers please abstain, I don´t want to get cluttered with your opinions on this one. Thank you

My last question read:

"Would it be immoral if we knew people were suffering needlessly, and we did nothing to help even if we could?
Examples: children with diseases, earthquake victims, War in Darfur, etc."

Almost everyone answered that it would be immoral.


But it is certainly within God's power to help earthquake victims, children with diseases, children getting raped, tsunami victims, etc. Yet he does not.

So is God not immoral?




Please spare me all the "we have a lesson to learn" stuff. We can all learn those lessons just fine with out suffering children, earthquakes and disease.

And please spare me the "free will" stuff. I'm talking about natural disasters here. (Don't forget Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.)

see my last question for reference:
