Society & Culture - 8 September 2007

I've made a really good friend out of this mormon guy. I spent the night over his house (his parents house really) because the next day I had to be at a confrence near his house and I didnt have the cash for a hotel and taxi. So he and I were in the livingroom with his older brother and parents just talking. And we were talking about how people assume things and make up stories about mormons. So I jokingly said Im gonna go undercover and spy on the mormons. His dad didnt like that at all.

As dumb as this is, do people do that?
if your a mormon, what that of offended you as well?

My theory is that if we are all the sons of daughters of god supposedly then jesus wasnt so freakin special he was more like an experiment god did to test us feeble minded humans what did we do we nailed him to the cross and said he died for our sins we ******* killed him he didnt die so killing him was a sin to remove all sins which was suposely supsed to put us in the right.But no we ****** up which made god remove him.

They (our own government) have subjugated the African Americans and made them poor and then they managed to destroy the working middle class caucsian. Now they are saturating the system with poor Latinos promising them good jobs that we don't have. So doesn't anyone see the problem with so many people down trodden in one area compeating for very little. Is the government forceing the different groups to hate eachother so the people keep a blind eye to what the government keeps doing to it's people and for what reason are they doing it?

I got my grandson to download a whole bunch of barking dog mp3s and I put them into a big list on itunes. I play it and turn my speakers up as loud as they'll go and I leave it on when I leave to try and torment my neighbors, because they are loud too, huh? That's mostly why I don't like any of them, it is not because they are fat which is what they think.

how do you explain the perfect order of the universe when the chance for such order from a big bang couldn't have been achieved unless enforced from a supreme being over creation...as has been mathematically proven?

I am pro life so far, but I am a free thinker, and I believe that If I am confronted with enough reason, I would gladly convert to pro choice.

So far, the most common abortion arguments I've heard are the following:

1. The mother has the right to do whatever she wants to her body

2. The child will not be loved

3. The child is not alive and it should not be considered a crime to abort it

my thoughts on these

1. If we're granted the right to do anything we want simply on the basis that it is our body, why cant we murder, or steal, or lie and stuff?

2. If we are killing the fetus because it MIGHT not be loved, then logically we should be able to kill people who are already grown but are not loved. In both instances, we are doing it for the person's own good, the only difference is that one is in the womb, one isn't.

3. Well, I don't have many thoughts about this one, since it varies by opinion and is so vague, I guess its up to one's interpretation.I dont count it

My brother asked me if he can come visit me. I told him yeah. I even offered to pay him a Greyhound ticket round trip. then he switched his mind because he's afraid that my mom will find him, stalk him, & cause all sorts of trouble. I don't blame him for that reason because that's true. The problem is that I moved & got a new apartment, & my mom doesn't know where I live. But my brother thinks I'm trying to trick him into dealing with her. I haven't spoken to my mom in over 3 months because every time she comes around, the cops has to be called. He thinks I'm still associating with her undercover, but I'm not. How can I convince him?

Sorry If I spelt Mormen? Morman? Wrong, I enever know which letter it is, I always forget. But you guys DO know that a few guys got togther and took the peices of the bible that THEY liked and added their own stuff.....So technically yours is a made up religion...In a sense. SOME of it is okay, ut how can you have so much faith in something that is PROVEN to be mostly made up.
Catholic, Why do you worship "Mother Mary" she wasn't a virgin her WHOLE life! And nowhere in the bible does it say you have to pray through some child molesting preist.
Jewish. You guys actually aren't that bad. I know you get made fun of a lot, and I am sorry. That sucks. But why dont you believe Jesus was the son of God? Jesus was just a disiphle...who happened to bring people back from the dead?? Uh-huuuuh.
Answers? My Questions are:
Do the mormens know their's is mostly made up?
Why do catholics pray to "false idols"?
And why dont jews believe jesus was the son of god?
Get mad, but I just was to no?

I'm not christian. And no, that does not mean I am a Atheist, Heathen, satanist, or any other name christians call non-christians.

What is it with some christians. Why do they love to judge people like me who are not christian.

Why can't they leave the judgement up to god?

Are they pretending to play god?

If it wasn't for interest, I wouldn't have my TV, my car, my condo.

I am really thankful that I get to pay somebody my hard earned money for the neccessities of life. (well, tv not a necessity).

It's not like I want to save that earned money or something.

They can't help who they fall in love with, so why should society tell them it's not right?

I heard this evil pabulum from one of my biology teachers on friday. How can we as Christians stop the spread of this iniquity?

"Evolution has been massively tested and corroborated.
It is explained by natural selection and, more broadly,
by modern evolutionary theory including sexual
selection, and Mendelian and molecular genetics.
Today, evolution is the unifying principle of modern
biology."
“Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of
evolution”
Dobzhansky, 1973

By looking at somes profiles, I can see that they have racked up thousands of points by responding to useless dribble that has no effect on their lives. Is there some sort of badge, if you get the highest points ever on these boards or something? I could never sit at my computer that long answering questions, because I have a life.

If anyone insults any religion (not just Christianity), they'll get a bad rating. It IS possible to say that you believe in evolution because religion doesn't make sense without greatly insulting anybody. Other than that, feel free to say pretty much anything.

Why is this Irish pagan holiday your favorite? I seem to like it, though, I 've thought about it alot why I like, yet , I dont celebrate it, bt for some reason i find it a very comfortable holiday. I'm not sure if its the colors, the type of holiday in that it has to do with spritism and the dead, but for some very odd reason I like the holiday and I dont know why.
