Society & Culture - 7 September 2007

A few days ago, a televangelist was taken off a local Tampa station for saying that Muslims are going to hell. This was because a local Muslim organization complained about the situation. The televangelist also said that Jews and Mormons are going to hell. Was he wrong to say that? Was he, in fact, speaking the truth? If he was, should he be taken off the air? Reference:(TAMPA, FL, 9/6/07) - The Tampa chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Tampa) today called on representatives of a local television station and its corporate owner to disassociate themselves from an anti-Semitic and Islamophobic program host. Last month, CAIR-Tampa sent a letter to Sinclair Broadcast Group, the corporate owner of the Florida station (WTTA-TV) that broadcasts "Live Prayer with Bill Keller" asking whether the type of hate rhetoric often used on Keller's program is appropriate for the public airways. Keller has claimed that Jews, Muslims and Mormons are all going to hell.

I dont know. My friend has a very clean house. They are the kind of people that are very accomidating to their guests. I used their bathroom the other day and on one side of the sink is the soap and stuff. On the other side, there are no cleaning or sanitation items but two bowls. One has after dinner mints and the other has these chocolate Hershey's Truffle Nuggets (which rock my sox by the way). I got out and asked and she thought it was a good gesture. I say, she should have a little end table against the wall on the outside of the door with the bowls. I don't think they belong in the bathroom. They are high enough where water from the sink will not splash in but I mean, some people don't wash their hands. I brought it up to my friend's mom and she was offended and said I should be grateful. Is this like the weirdest thing you ever heard of? Its not a 4-star hotel, its my friends house. You know what I mean?

I was walking with my friends today and the topic of religion came up (we go to a catholic school) and the evolution of the earth. as the conversation got more deep, i said that I don't believe in the bible. they looked shocked and got pretty upset... thanks goodness we shifted to a different topic, but still, I feel upset. why can't people just accept everyone for who they are? why do they care so much on what i believe? can't we just respect people for their views? and are you like this?

....on your deathbed?

Will you have any thoughts of what is really going to happen to you after death?

Will you question the existence of your God?

Will you remain steadfast with no fear?

Will you be content leaving the planet with your final thought - what if there is no God?

My thanks to the question below for the inspiration.

obey the command to honor Jesus mother just as Jesus obeyed his own commnand. Why are you disdainful towards Mary, and insist catholics worship her, when we do not? Do you like to beleive untruths? Even in our catecism books to learn our faith, it does not teach us that. You are sorely mistaken.

What is the difference between someone saying they are a Christian instead of saying they are a Catholic? What's the difference?

2007-09-07 08:39:55 · 17 answers · asked by Anonymous in Religion & Spirituality

Muslims compliment atheists. Agnostics compliment Christians. Buddhists complimant Hindus.

Or is that going to be impossible?

I would, as an atheist, like to complimant Christians for their charity and turning the other cheek, Muslims for their abstention, Buddhists for their respect for animals and living things, and agnostics for their caution.

Most complimants = best answer.

I had one claim that I said something offensive to another. I wasn't even meaning to be even slightly offensive. I was just trying to get a Catholic to open her mind and I wasn't trying to lead her where she didn't want to go much less to hell. I pretty sure that the Catholic I was addressing was okay with what I said, but the other Catholic said that I was disresectful and should be ashamed of myself. Furthermore, how I see it is that I was just repeating to the worried Catholic what she had really said.

Jesus would do this to humiliate Saton that he could be defeated by a simple holy woman. The heal is the weakest part of a body, personal intrepretation not good enough!!!! The question is: Why can we not give Mary credit for her role in redemptive suffering? St Paul taught that he offered His sufferings for "you". We all are co redemers working with Christ as his body which makes up for the lack of sufferings in the body of Christ.

in America...My question is so what is that truth you believe will tak place? and is that truth going to be universal, or a personal truth or a Government or Scientific Truth?

What TRUTH is about to rise?

And since people will reject GOD's truth but embrace MAN"S truth then should we assume you might embrace a World Leader that appeals to the masses of people who reject GOD and religion?

Many of you have probably already seen this but apparently this woman had to cover herself with a blanket on a southwest flight. I don't want to get into the politics of it at all. I just want to know if you think what she is wearing is modes and which religion you follow/

Note that in a few articles I read about it she said that these photos were taken after she made adjustments to her outfit for so she could continue with the flight. Look at where her belly button is and where her skirt top is. She said she had to pull down her skirt and pull up her tank top. How short was her skirt????

Most of the news videos and articles aren't mentioning this is after she adjusted her outfit. But I still cannot believe the anchor that says this is how kids go dressed to school! LOL
