Society & Culture - 20 August 2007

We were in my friends pool, when this shadow thing appeared, and we felt like someone was watching us. The next day. at my house, we felt the same thing at the end of my driveway. This only happens when it starts to get dark. If anyone has a spell (im Wiccan) or something to get rid of it or some sort of herb to burn (not basil, i tried it). If you are going to either say im crazy or pretending or say Wicca is evil, I wil report you. And please, no religous suggestions, I am not Christian.

... always wearing hats!!!

anyway, heres the thing, i used to call myself an atheist because i didn't believe in "god". but then i thought about it and it wasn't that i didn't believe that there was possibly a creator, it was that i didn't believe in the whole bible, god, Mary, donkeys etc etc or any religion for that matter. so i see myself as more of an agonist really. and i use the term " THE CREATOR" very loosely. like I'm pretty sure its not watching down on us or bringing us Christmas prezzies or anything. probably doesn't even know its created us.

anyway.. after talking with friends i found a few atheists felt the same way and i was wondering, do atheists really deny the possibility of a creator or just the religious gods etc..

the way i see it is..
us understanding "god" is like a fish in London understanding president bush, the chances of a fish figuring it out is quite slim. and a fishes guess is probably pretty lame.

Or are you gonna stand firm in your faith in Jesus Christ?
1 Chronicles 19:13
Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The LORD will do what is good in his sight."

Did you ever gossip? Did you think it was unfair, after doing it? Do you consider it to be a sin? Is there anything specific about gossip in the bible?

I know most of you believe that it is not a sin. But I would like to hear from the ones that do what to do when you catch your kids/teens masturbating. Don't bother posting "it's not a sin because or it is a sin because." We've heard the arguments.

How should they be punished?

Do you think you can get them to stop?

Exclusions: Don't tell me the story of how Satan rebelled, rejected God, etc. Thats not my question.

My question is why God allows a semi-god to create all the world's evil. Christians always seem to overlook this glaring continuity error in their story.

Are they equally powerful? What other excuse could there be for allowing Satan to operate?

A lot of Americans seem to frown upon staying at home with your child. Why? They seem to think you're lazy, uneducated, in an abusive marriage, and you're strange rather than a good mother and having the luxury to give your child the best. Also, why is maternity leave so short in this country? American women seem to be power hungry and money hungry rather than good mothers and good wives.

Say someone is, for the most part, a good human being. Decent to others & to the environment around them. Empathetic, kind, generous, etc.

This person, also, does not actually believe in the Christian God. They're either agnostic or atheist. Or, maybe they are pantheistic, humanist, wiccan, whatever. They actually *don't* accept Jesus Christ as their personal lord & savior.

But, they say the words, "I accept Jesus Christ, etc.", even though they are not true. They truly don't believe that God exists or they are not convinced that God exists. They say the words anyway.

Now, with only that one lie in their life as a 'sin', do they still get into heaven?

Does God just want you to say it, whether it's true or not?

To give the non-belief in GOD any merit in this country?
I say this because many Atheists were kicked to the curb so to speak with any desire they had in eliminating GOD....socially or politically..

Isn't it the growth of Radical Islam the failure of the War in Iraq and the Homosexual Political Agenda that gives Atheism a platform which to speak? (Dawkins)

Madeline O'Hare tried for years to become a force to be reckoned with as an Atheist in every facet of life, in eliminating GOD which she failed misreably, and was killed for greed and political gain from her own kind.

Aren't these the only issues that truly gave you a voice now a days?

Why do people not agree with polygamy? A lot of people already cheat on their spouses because that may not be enough for them. So why not make polygamy legal. Gay marriage is legal in my state...so whats wrong with polygamy?

You are a social worker in your community’s county public health office. Of the 60,000 people living in your county, 12,000 are women of childbearing age. The teen pregnancy rate is above the national average. Twenty-five to 30 percent of the county’s births are unintended. With an annual per capita income of just over $13,000, most of the population lives below the poverty level.

At your weekly team meeting, your manager announces that the Planned Parenthood Clinic in the county is closing due to lack of funding. Other county family-planning providers have waiting lists and cannot take new patients. Team consensus is that lack of accessible and affordable family planning services will lead to more unintended pregnancies, child abuse, and poverty.

You organize a group of other health and human service providers in the county to solve the issue. After much discussion, the public health office decides to offer limited family planning services.

I got to level 4 so I colored my hair red, got extensions, went to a tanning salon, bought some cool sunglasses and changed my top.

I like to shop and pamper myself when I reach a new level or goal in my life.
