Society & Culture - 21 September 2007

I am a Christian and have believed in God my whole life and I still do. However, in Biology we are starting to talk about evolution and it is confusing me. I do believe that we have evolved to adapt to our world, but I don't think that we came from monkies. Can somebody please help explain things to me. I am really confused about what to believe.

How do you approach your decisions?

1 Corinthians 8:9-12

— by thinking primarily of yourself? Or do you consider how your actions will affect the faith and lives of others? Just as we have to discipline our conscience for it to grow stronger, we must use discernment to avoid wounding a weaker believer.

OK, god doesn't need man, or me. I'll accept that. Go figure? Then answer this?

Go figure. Again, I am assuming for the moment that he does exist...:

If god doesn't need me, or mankind, as many of you believers have suggested, then why did "he" create us.

jena 6?! what is this teaching our children?!?

my child is bi-racial. both black as well as white and proud of it. my child is very young. im tired of people continuing to beat a dead horse! yes, racism does exist but constantly driving this down everyone's throat and blowing it way out of porportion...what does this teach our children?! that all black people steal, kill, and do drugs...and that all white people are bad and racists?! Come on!! when is this madness going to stop? when are people going to put the petty ignorance away and think of the children?! what does this say to our children? if this continues it is teaching our children to carry on this garbage. children LEARN racism....it is taught to them. they are not born racist. racism stems from ignorance. doesn't cases like "jena 6" only get racism stirred up? also....dont you realize children watch tv. Im sure not all the protesters have babysitters. im sure many took their children to this event. what do you think?

A --------- state senator is “suing” God, claiming that the Almighty has made “terroristic threats” against him and his constituents, inspired fear and caused "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants."

One God of all religions...?

Just wondering why people think that the One True God that made the entire universe would only be the True God of ONE religion? He's not the God of the Earth, He's the God of the Universe, and all other planets with intelligent (and there have to be MANY in this infinite Universe of ours). Every religion's view of God is their view of the One True God that best comes to them in their time, culture and society. Man makes God into his own image, even though in reality Man is made in God's image (all humankind on this earth regardless of religion -- and every religion's base is how to return to the Divine from which we came).

Do other intelligent life forms on other planets pettily fight over which God is the true God and that only they will be reconciled to Him? Why would God be so petty as to only accept ONE religion in this endless Universe of ours?

In time, and in the end, all religions will be reconciled to the One True God, and humankind will be ONE with Him, as was His Plan.

This is going to piss people off...but I want to know Really!?

I am an american, fed up with the "american ways".
I am wondering if people from other countries could tell me why YOU live in that country?

To tell you a little about the US.. if you can belive this we make people leave hospitals...if they can't pay or have no insurance. We have tp pay for medications. My husband has asthma and has to take Albutrol it costs $125.00. (it is 5 cents in cuba) We pay about $250.00 a week per child for daycare (thats **** anyway) Public schools are around the cheap end $500.00 per semeter.College 2 year degree $17,000. This is not including extra activities like baseball, basketball....thats extra. And nothing pisses me off more than people that refuse to speak, learn, or even try speaking english. ( I hate to do it but, it is mosty spainsh speaking people.) Let me ask you...if I came to you counrty to LIVE, WORK, and raise a family...would you want me to speak your langwage, and learn to read it? ( if your in a non-english speaking country)
