Society & Culture - 14 September 2007

I thought it seemed like everyone was on today, and when I pulled up the questions, I was lost! Can a woman get a break and find out who is responsible for all of these shenanigans....without me? I would have crawled out of my sickbed to see the questions that were deleted by the time I came on.

and made me kind of ticked off. I did not make them look stupid or embarass them in anyway. What is the deal? How long am I allowed to stay angry and not break "man law".

and why do they think that having faith is "comfortable"?
Some of the toughest experiences in my life have tested my faith severely. Faith is far from comforting...it's challenging and exciting to me...
am I deluded because of this?

They are conniving and backstabbing and untrustworthy.

Ok... chief argument against homosexuality right now... It says it is wrong in the bible. Now there are some out there who say it doesn't but for the sake of this conversation lets just say it does.

Here's my simple response. I... don't... give... a... four letter word... what it says in the bible.

Heres my complex response...

Theres this thing in the constitution here in America. It's called separation of Church and State. That says that if you don't believe that homosexuality is wrong because of your religion, good for you, go ahead and don't fall in love with and marry people of your own gender, I could care less.

I do not on the other hand see WHY that should mean that it is forbidden by law. If two people love each other then you have NO right to throw your bible in their face and say they can't and NEITHER DOES THE LAW.

(nor for that matter does an insurance agency, health care provider, housing provider, employer, etc...)

Children are a blessing from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is his reward Psalms 127:3

Does this make everyone a blessing?

Grandma is still pretty alert and a kind person. But she will talk to visitors and ppl who call on the phone asking for one of us about very personal things-- "I was sitting on the toilet when you called." And she will also talk about being "regular" and being constipated. If she just said those things to us, no problem. But she discusses this with total strangers and ppl she doesn't know well. Your suggestions please.

Personally, I prefer facts. I feel there is a certain comfort that comes with knowing I can prove a fact wrong (assuming I'm smart enough), whereas with faith, I can only disagree with it, but never completely disprove it. That feels dangerous to me.

i have heard answers like god was always here but if you can believe that why is it so hard to believe that the universe was always here? or god made himself which doesn't make sense because if you don't exist you cant make anything especially not yourself.
so seriously give me your best answer?

Do you think you can prove that the tooth fairy does not exist?
Maybe The point will come to the surface that YOU CAN NOT PROOVE A NEGATIVE FACT. If you go to a gambling table prepared to prove the tooth fairy does not exist. You will come home BROKE.
Not that you could prove the existence of same either.
I hope I did not offend any of you non believers in the tooth fairy.

I guess that I will keep any debate I may have for subjects like God or no God to blogs where people think first with their head then with there heart. To think first with your heart will generate an emotional response. When the question was clearly wanting a response from the head first.

It is a very old philosophical dispute to say that to bet on a negative fact is a fools errand. This thought is applied to the concept of Atheism as an Atheist is one who denies the existence of God.

This question is oriented towards Christians, I would like to have some sort of explanation on their part.

It is not only a matter that they do not have the correct organization of neurons in their brains, but also that they lack vocal cords capable of replicating human speech. Even if we were to have such vocal cords, they lack the oral structure that we depend upon to formulate words.

Do you believe it is possible for a donkey to speak? If you do believe it to be possible, please explain how.

consciousness? With that consciousness, you inherited awareness of time passing, but for what reason is this given?

What is a life without meaning, and what is the meaning and purpose of existence?

Why are you feeling the internal conflict and anxiety, when you are judgmental and when you are playing "god"? - (Actually there are 6 billion others, all unconsciously playing God.)

How much pain are you going to endure before you see what all this means?

What say you all?

Certainly people do sin today, but much is right today, which deserves discussion

Jesus' had ethics and sacrificed. I see that trait in many people in U.S. today. Many men and women work 2 and even 3 jobs to support their family. At work women now dress professionally. This was not true in the late 1960s to the mid-1970s, when mini-skirts and even micro-minis. Young men (and older) today with short hair, and long shorts look like MEN, which follows what the Bible advocates.

College tutition costs are tremendous; back in my day it was a fraction of today's costs. But people are meeting this difficult challenge. We have gallant soldiers making a tremendous sacrifice for Bush's flawed fiasco in Iraq. They are volunteering for it.

The exceptions in a way show there are standards. Barry Bonds' steroids use completely tainted his record. Michael Vick and Bill Belichick are suffering strong punishment for misconduct. Thoughts for working into sermon would be appreciated.
