Society & Culture - 30 August 2007

I've made a lot of mistakes - I have let others down, I have betrayed those who have tried to help me, I have hurt those that have given so much for me..

I just don't understand why any creator or anyone who loved us, would let us go through pain, torment, guilt, struggle..

Why would God want bad things to happen to good people?

How can he ask us to be perfect? Perfection doesn't exist, does it? I mean seriously - how can we be perfect and meet his expectations if we have been flawed from the start?

It is going to be hard for you all to be honest because the one you serve is the father of lies. You think youre free, but you know deep inside youre in bondage. Jesus is ready and willing to forgive you of your sins, if you ask with a contrite heart. Take a moment out of this fast pace world and think where did I really come from, how can I have such freedom and such intelligence and the capacity to think whatever I want. All freedoms individuals all over the world have. For you to emphasize people should be atheists, isn't that compelling, granted some in the Christian world may think that way but they are not really converted and are no different from you. Just meditate on it for a few days and whatever impact it makes on you, you make your choice.

Maybe the friend is not so invisible and it is only the adults who cant see them what do you think please don't all start shouting at me.

If you point out the differences between the laws of the Deuteronomy and those that Christians say are okay, they all say that Jesus made those laws irrelevant. If you point out that the Bible repeatedly says that it's laws are eternal (never to be changed or updated) they say Jesus fulfilled the law. What are you talking about and how does this answer the question?

I am talking about the people that drive around in expensive cars and have really nice jobs. I am not talking about folks that earn low wages.

I say this because according to the US Census only 7% of Americans earn over $100k a year. That leads me to think lots of folks are living high on the hog!

I have a feeling that older people might hate it when someone much younger than them "seems" smarter or wiser than they are. I for one hate it when someone in their 30s says that old black and white classics are boring and the same with classical music and then some teenager (probably 14) come along and say (probably lying) that they love it. It seems like teenagers who say they love something that older people like feel they're just making themselves appear superior to everyone else around their age. For example: I bet there are 14 year olds out there who'll lie that Citizen Kane is their favorite movie just to impress the older generation and be told how smart they are and what great taste in movies they have. I'll tell you that just because they like some old black and white classic doesn't make them smarter or better than other people. But it seems like some young people will tell any lie or exaggerate the truth just to feel superior.

A coworker and her sister are both pregnant (one with a girl and one with a boy), and their mom is throwing a joint baby shower. I have never met the sister, but have known my coworker for about 3 years. Does ettiquette say I have to get her sister a gift?

To complicate the question, three other coworkers have been invited to the shower. Two of the coworkers DO know the sister and will be getting her a gift.

Should the coworker who doesn't know the sister and I get a small gift together just for the sake of manners, and a more appropriate gift for the sister we work with? Or is it acceptable to only get a gift for the person I know?

Thanks!

I wish I was God,
but if I were,
I might not be Him, but Her.
I'd cure Atheists of alcoholism
so they wouldn't slur.
I'd bless the pagans, muslims and jews
but I'd never put them on a boat
in twos.
I like fundies, they are cool
I haven't figured out
how to keep them from the gene pool.
So bless you all,
sinners and saints
now, go back to drinking
until you can write poetry
better than this.
