religion, what makes us us?


(my belief) instinc+free will = random situation , unique person

the difference of a human and a robot w/ defence,instinct, atack/hate etc...

what makes us different

a robot's randomness would be a mathematical equasion but what about us?


when we are in a bind we cry/hate and resolve , learn from mistakes, new problems

but a robot would go brain dead?


so robots need to be updated

but we self update

ive been with the company for less than 4 months now. good pay, fantastic benefits, am and pm shift (suitable for me) and also quite a lot of things for me to learn. but today, ive been dignosed with adjustment disorder. the doc said that its just a step away from nervous breakdown and depression.my manager and a few other colleagues out of 17 IS the problem.
1. fault-finding - anything so minor would be put under "stand up" for so and so. and reprimanded in front of WHOEVER - including patients.
2. constantly bad-mouthing each other behind and even if the person is around.
3. open sarcastic talk when ppl dun get along with another person
4. ZERO tolerance of anything that may cropped up during work. (no professionalism)
5. CONSTANT putting down on others to show one is more intelligent.
6. Put the blames on other when something goes wrong. (i witness how one of my colleagues was being blamed for something she wasnt responsible for!)

Logic dictates to use the Bible as proof would beg the question.

Please don't say that the New Testament says Jesus praises women because Mary got to clean Jesus' feet. (what an honour!)

1 Timothy 2:11:
A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.
Deuteronomy 22:20-21:
If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl's virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father's house. You must purge the evil from among you.
Genesis 3:16:
To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."
Matthew 18:25 :
Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.

Do you think the relationships between gods, leaders, and law is essentially the same in these two cultures, or essentially different? Use both lectures and readings to back up your assertion.

Recently, while I was extremely sick with a bad case of bronchial pneumonia, my neighbour, who I don't know too well, came around and brought a whole bunch of pre cooked meals for my family. She also shopped for me a few times, picked up my daughter from school, etc.
I was so surprised and how thoughful she was, and was thinking of a way to pay her back now that I'm back on my feet.
Anyway, she's mentioned a few times how she can't get her yard in order, flowerbeds, etc, because she's so busy at work. I'm a pretty keen gardener, so I've thought of offering to do some yard work for her, including planting some nice flowers that I could buy for her.
Do you think she would understand the gesture, or would it be considered rude, as if I was offended by her yard or something (which I'm not)?

I'm a blonde 19 year old girl and I work at a daycare. We're gonna have a Halloween party, obviously, and I'm trying to think of something kid friendly to dress up as. Something that the kids are going to relate to or be amused by. Any ideas?

ps I only put the blonde part because I'm not into wigs and you can't exactly have a fair haired Pocahontas.

That seems like a contradiction to me. After all, when we come to Christ doesn't He forgive us and cleanse us of all our sins?

Last year, I had a very strong feeling that I ought to do something, and I thought God must be telling me to do it. But it turned out to be very wrong, and now I think it must have been the devil. But how could I have known?

hello fellow atheists!

I'm just wondering if you ever believed in God. If you did, when did you stop believing? What made you stop believing?

I stopped believing when I went to a poor country and saw all the happy hungry unneducated people. I knew then that it was not possible for a God to exist. And even if he did, I would choose not to worship him. I am an ex Catholic, and frankly I wonder if Christians really are delusional.

I will continue to give money to send people in poor countries to secondary education. Education really is the answer not praying. The best thing about it is when they finish and get jobs, they have to give someone else the money to go. It's a web, so everyone can gets the chance to go. Some people and I raised enough money for one student to go. I would like to think I helped make a positive difference in their life.

It's better then thinking I'm doing something for these people by praying for them.
