The first seat beside the doors of the MRT or LRT have signs that the seat is for the "disabled, pregnant, moms with kids or older folk". I use these trains to travel around Metro Manila. I am disabled, use a cane and prosthetic leg, but wear walking shorts or a skirt so people can spot my disability. About 80% of the time, no one gives me a seat unless I ask for it (I do ask nicely) - some of those asked sigh heavily or act like they need a medal pinned to them plus a brass band parade for granting a huge favor.

Those who do give me a seat, right away, without my asking are older men or ladies, not the younger generation. How does one help the younger generation of Pinoys remember their manners when we desperatly need to sit in trains?

Yesterday I was "dared" to ask this question:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlfitpEm7onuIhtmhGA6KMLsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20070917110836AABQqMC

In response, some Christians answered rather defensively.

The question was not my own, but in retrospect I agree with it for the most part. If we take R&S as the only example, the characteristics the Pagans display are much more on par with what we as Christians should be striving for. The Christians constantly display bad scholarship, misunderstanding of other people and groups, lack of sympathy, and outright offensiveness. (No it's not all Christians of course.)

My first friend/contact here was a Pagan. (Hi, Riegan!) She immediately showed kindness and acceptance to me, even though our religious beliefs differed. On R&S Pagans as a whole seem to be less offensive and more accepting.

Why were so many Christians personally offended by this claim? Do you disagree with it?

Ok so it occured to me (and is actually backed up by the Bible) that maybe the Pagans were right.. maybe there are actually multiple Gods...
The Bible backs this up when it says "God" told people not to worship any other Gods but him.. this implies that there are other Gods...

I have noticed that the Trinity is most confusing primarily when people try to make it sound like Monotheism.

However, when it is explained as polytheism then it makes perfect sense.

Is the Trinity concept so confusing for most people because many people are trying to explain a polytheistic concept as monotheism ?

The Jews and Muslims totally agree that the Trinity is not Monotheism and the Trinity is foreign to the Abrahmic message.

"In the mind's eye conjure up a picture of one of your primitive ancestors of cave-dwelling times--a short, misshapen, filthy, snarling hulk of a man standing, legs spread, club upraised, breathing hate and animosity as he looks fiercely just ahead. Such a picture hardly depicts the divine dignity of man. But allow us to enlarge the picture. In front of this animated human crouches a saber-toothed tiger. Behind him, a woman and two children. Immediately you recognize that such a picture stands for the beginnings of much that is fine and noble in the human race, but the man is the same in both pictures. Only in the second sketch you are favored with a widened horizon. You therein discern the motivation of this evolving mortal. His attitude becomes praiseworthy because you understand him. If you could only fathom the motives of your associates, how much better you would understand them. If you could only know your fellows, you would eventually fall in love with them."

OK to share

I'm gay and my sexuality's always a laughing matter in class. Sometimes, it really hurts me but i just ride along with them. They're always teasing me and i usually end up getting humiliated in front of everyone. I tried talking to them in a serious way but they're just too hard-headed and annoying. What should i tell them the next time they make fun of me?

The message of Jesus was primarily for the Jews so Paul created a non Jewish version and introduced some of the non Jewish theology (pagan) into the faith to make it attractive to them ?

Counting Crows asked a question, but he/she has blocked me for some reason. I don't think I've ever answered one of this person's questions.

Anyway, I want to hear the joke too.
