Society & Culture - 6 September 2007

I work at a Fortune 50 company and if you are a minority it is impossible to get fired and very easy to get promoted. I never believed this until I took this job.

I have 8 BESTTTT friends and we all want to be a group of something for Halloween. DOES ANYONE HAD CUTE IDEAS FOR 9 POPLE?

A lot of people who answer questions here seem to think the Holocaust did not happen at all, or that it was greatly exaggerated. Do you deny the Holocaust occurred? If so, why?

All I hear is "God didn't punish Job. He let the devil do it to prove to him that true believes never falter in their faith!"

And I say - why would God need to prove ANYTHING to Satan? Heck, he created Satan! He knew exactly what Satan would do. Alright, fine, he gave Satan a choice. Satan chose B.

If we can all agree that the Biblical devil would get his greatest enjoyment out of seeing someone being tortured for years, then didn't God play right into his hands? Kind of makes you question why, huh? He, according to the Bible (yes, this is a hypothetical) allowed Satan to torture Job to, in essence, win a bet. He allowed a man's children, land and loves to be taken from him and he allowed large, pussy boils to form all over his body just to prove something to Satan?

as some may guess, the purpose is for an epitaph on a tombstone. Clarity, brevity and a poetic sense would be great, if possible.

I want to improve my relationship with God, but everytime I have a question, the pastor's I have asked just answer it without really answering it ya know? He did that because God is love, God is love, thats why that law is that way. Basically God is love is the only answer they ever give me. I know that, thats not what I'm asking. So what can I do? I read the answers in the bible but it doesn't tell me what I really want to know about it. I know you can't answer every question, but really. It just makes me feel like they have no clue what they're talking about. Can anyone give me some advice on how to go about this since religious figures seem pretty much useless?

Often when I worry something won't pan out the way it is supposed to, my fiance will tell me not to worry so much, and to have "faith".

Do you think he really just means be optimistic?

I just recently asked a question with the title :
"Can Christians say Buddhist prayers"?
http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjWr.Go0QZ3l2JR3Ql441g7AFQx.?qid=20070906115127AArYVFm

And one of the Christians who answered states that not all beings are equal.
Hence you cannot ( if your Christian ) say a prayer that says all and everything is equal.

Is this true, that according to the God of the Bible not all things are equal?

- If so, why ever aren't they?

Will you repent of your sin against God's commandment?

I see many people lying about what the Catholic Church teaches, believes and practices on here. Obviously they know that what they say are lies but continue to perpetrate these lies. The Bible teaches that this is bearing false witness as well and is against the commandments of God.

Can you feel justified by claiming ignorance or being blinded by hatred or prejudice. What will be your defense before the throne of God when every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess?

You must know that your man-made churches do not have the promises of Christ nor the authority given by Christ to His Church yet you have no fear of the almighty God who created the Church which you protest so falsely. Will your only defense be a dependence on His mercy and do you really think that your ignorance will save you from His judgement?


THE 9th COMMANDMENT
Exodus 20:16 "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour."

It may very well be an unfortanate and terrifying answer, or it may be a peaceful one. Maybe the return of the space race as a peaceful one?

im not that religious but why do all the atheists put the same amount of faith in science that christians put in God. scientists always think they have things figured out, and then they prove themselves wrong later and come out with the next scientific fact. a few hundred years ago science knew the world was flat, and the sun revolved around the earth. what will they know for sure 100 years from now that disproves what they know for sure today. it all takes faith, religion or not. not to say science shouldnt look for answers, but if you put your faith in science it has proven throughout time that it will fail

The "full" quote, according to the NASB translation of the Bible, reads (Jesus speaking):

"Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's enemies will be the members of his household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it." (Matthew 10:34-39 NASB)

I am looking to volunteer at my local hospital a couple of hours a week and I look forward to it.

My question is what is the best way to act what is the best way to react in tough situations?

Also what are things a volunteer should not do? Even though a hospital has spiriutality when is a good time to talk about God when is a good time not to talk about God? Or should the patient iniate the conversation? How does one go about being a hosptial chaplain or someone to talk to the patients about spiritual things? Thanks for your answers:)
