Society & Culture - 18 September 2007

I am a Christian and I see a lot of generalizing and wrong presumptions made about us like that we think science is evil and of the devil. lol That's funny. But mostly I'm talking about the Muslims. Why do so many of us Americans think that they are all terrorists? Most Muslims denounce the extremists. Yes it is written in their Quran to kill infidels but I was told that that was only meant for people of the distant past. And we ourselves have similar scriptures in our bible where God commanded the Israelites to destroy the cities of non-believers which were also only meant for the people of that time. I'm not saying I agree with the Muslim religion but I am just saying that it must be hard for Muslims living in our country to be hated for something they didn't do or even agree with.

Questions related to Holy Eucharist

2007-09-18 00:57:13 · 8 answers · asked by Anonymous in Religion & Spirituality

I've been visiting this R&S section for 1.5 years now. On and off. More off than on lately. I'm an atheist, with an outspoken opinion of my own.

In all the time I visited this section, I've constantly seen "atheistic gods". There has been a Mayor, a King, a Cookie Goddess, and I've probably missed a few atheists that have been worshipped like gods.

My main problem is that they actually are treated like gods. People thumb up any opinion the "atheist gods" have, no matter how ridiculous that opinion sometimes is.

I know it's all an innocent game. But yet, it annoys me a bit. When atheists start to act like sheeple and follow a leader, it gets harder and harder for the respectful atheist opinion to be heard.

Am I the only atheist who has the feeling that many non-atheists see atheists as a homogenous group because a group of atheists plays 'follow the leader' all the time?

How would this sentence be gramatically correct:

why would God have him build it from gapherwood and pitch. Why would he not have him build it with something more technologicly advanced, since God is all knowing and is omni present. Would God not know to send better technological knowlwedge to Noah? They did at the time use smelters for armor and would make sense that it would have been possible to make it from something that would have lasted to this day giving proof to the story of Noah. Yes I know that some claim it is on Mount Ararat but several have climbed the mountain and we do have satelite technology that would show this in detail if we were to look for it.

Below is a copy of a letter that won a competition in UK as complaint letter of the year...have a laugh and
read on.
Complaint Letter of the Year. The British do have a way with words.... A real-life customer complaint
letter sent to NTL (to their complaints dept....)
Dear Cretins,
I have been an NTL customer since 9th July 2001, when I signed up for
your 3-in-one deal for cable TV, cable modem, and telephone. During this
three-month period I have encountered inadequacy of service which I had
not previously considered possible, as well as ignorance and stupidity
of monolithic proportions. Please allow me to provide specific details,
so that you can either pursue your professional perogative, and seek to
rectify these difficulties - or more likely (I suspect) so that you can
have some entertaining reading material as you while away the working
day smoking B&H and drinking vendor-coffee on the bog in your office:

favours, i.e. asking for very large sums of money, or asking to come and live in your house. It is o.k. if you wish to give them the money from your own heart or wish to accommodate them at home. I used to end up doing these things for everyone because I couldnt say no and thought that the other person would be very humiliated. I just wondered, etiquette wise, is it rude to refuse someone. I never ask anyone for a favour as I feel the other person may not be happy to do it, or may not be in a position to do it and too scared to hear the word no from them. How do you feel when some one asks you to do something. Do you feel that you should give in to other people's wishes, no matter how you feel and not hurt them, or should you weigh up the situation in your mind for some time and then give them the reply. Someone said, that rather than say yes or no immediately, always say that you would like to think about it, thus deferring the situation, but that doesnt work either.

Yes indeed, Jesus brought the gift of God... but does "Living Water" sound like blood for sin to you? If not, wouldn't it be good to find out what Jesus was actually talking about?
