Don't you think that anykind of reform is in a way or another a kind of brain washing.

What is truth? What is fact?
truth is variable from time to time, isn't it?

Should a person abide to the truths and facts of the sorrounding society? and if they don't convince him should he/she rebel against it and how can he/she survive in such society if he rebels against it?

Why does Yahoo give a forum for discussing issues that we want answers to! they apparently have a sensor, that responds to certain words, and or phrases! And then, in their infinite wisdom, judge the content!
this is frustrating! Why bother to answer a question, with your opinion, if someone else is going else can edit it, and then not post it?
I just gave a detailed response to a question about Evoulution v Religion, and it was NOT posted! What then is the point?
Am I the only one who thinks this is bogus?

Atheist definition:"Blind faith"

Bible definition:Hebrews 11:1-Faith is the substance of things hoped for,and the evidence of things not yet seen.


Everybody,atheist included,fits the Biblical definition;becuase even atheist hope for something.


Which definition of faith do you usually go by?And why?

Why dont these churches need to have Food Handlers Permits, for mass or sacrament. They handle the sacrament, or mass. Do the alterboys have their food handlers permit? Does the Priest? Does the Pastors or Bishops? They are touching your bread with their fingers, doesnt this break the law?

Before anybody says churchs are exempt. Its true. But is also states Religious Activities are except when public is not invited to attend.

Every Church I have been to, Catholic, Baptist, LDS they all have their signs, and the LDS church even has a plaque that says "VISITORS WELCOME". Doesnt this make it a public event? Therefore why are they touching the bread? or not following the law?

... if people didn't believe in "God"?

Let me start by saying that I don't believe that most conflicts in history that have been attributed to religion are truly about religion; religion is often a scapegoat for political and other idealogical conflicts including territorial expansion.

Here's your chance to change a mind or two if the group doesn't speak for the individual. I know many Christians, and many seem rather disgusted about some of the actions fellow followers are up to.

Or do you agree with the viewpoints most often voiced? Please explain why or why not--or even if you're indifferent to the subject.

Maybe their is a seed planted and their waiting for it to be watered??? or maybe they have no life so they want to make fun of something they don't understand, or is it their like the religious radicals that want to push their beliefs, or is it their closed minded. lets just pray the seed grows so lets drown them with knowledge while they seek it

Firstly, let me say that I have made this mistake myself. I got to work, looked in the mirror, and realized that I should have worn a more thickly padded bra with the blouse I'm wearing. Usually, my remedy is to do the ol' high school trick of stuffing with kleenex, and that solves the problem.

But what if it's an unwitting co-worker who's "headlights are on," if you know what I mean? This has nothing to do with age or an attempt to be sexy -- I've seen it with old, young, tall, short, heavy, thin, and both conservative and funky dressers. I work in a pretty conservative field, so I guarantee that if I've noticed, my male colleagues certainly have, too.

Do you say something? If so, what? Or do you punt and let HR deal with it?

We all know what the Nazis did to the Jews in the holocaust; gas chambers, tortuous experiments, burning, and lethal injections. Children were slaughtered.
There were even some children who were put into pits, had oil poured on them, and were set afire. If you ask me, this does not necessarily prove that there is no God, but it does prove that there is no God that intervenes in human affairs. Here are my responses to common Christian defenses to this argument: 1) Christian: “God gave man freewill. God did not do this, the Nazis did.” Me: The problem is that you say God does intervene sometimes, even when freewill is involved. Terrorists blow up a building and some people escape unharmed. Then, Christians and these lucky people praise God for his intervention. Why not help the Jews? 2) Christian: “This life is only temporary. Victims will be rewarded in heaven. Me: First, you have the problem that was discussed in No. 1. You said that God does intervene sometimes; sometimes even to help you on your math test. Secondly, it is one thing for people to die, it is another thing for children to burn alive. Couldn’t he have at least taken them before the pain set in? We know that he didn’t because of their screams. 3) Christian: “God has a purpose for everything and sometimes we cannot understand it.” Me: Jeffrey Dahmer had a purpose for what he did. He liked killing and eating people. No matter what purpose he might have had, it is unjustifiable.

Do you get nauseated when people try to pretend links, google, cross references mean a darn thing.
The internet is full of crap put there by wannabe intellects. Then other wannbe's think they are really somehting when they find another idiot that has said what they say.
You will find very little on the internet about Jesus being an albino. If you do I put it there. Then on the otherhand you could skip google and go straigh to your Bible that you say you believe. Revelation 1:14 clearly describes Jesus as an albino. The fact is the ex-apostle John was saying that Augustus was an albino. Even the myth says that Jesus was caliming to be the Alpha-Omega. The holy initials of Augustus Octavian. The beginning and the end of the Greek alphabet. The first and last letter of the Greek alphabet. John was trying to send a clear message.
