Society & Culture - 25 September 2007

Many of you know I am really into music.

Last night, I was browsing CDBaby, looking for some new tunes. CDBaby categorizes music by genre, so I was perusing the rock section, wanting something fresh. I came across a band whose album cover and influences caught my eye, but in reading their description, the words "Christian rock" jumped off the page. I tried to be fair, and opted to listen to their first song listed on their page.

The opening lyric was to the effect of, "Jesus died for me so I can live forever", at which point I clicked onto the next band's page, disinterested altogether.

In all fairness, I skipped through probably 12-15 bands last night, all but one being secular, and I ended up buying nothing.

Child Molestor or None Believer

Can a christian really think that as long as a child molester believes in the bilble he shall be saved???

or even if we take away the shock value of the sin...... a person who spends a life murdering but still a believer?

Just a little pet peeve of mine. I answer the phone, the person realizes they misdialed, and just hangs up. At least I apologize if I misdial.

We also get a lot of those automatically dialed calls at work. I get interrupted, answer the phone, and some recording is shouting at me "If you do such and such...." Those calls are as annoying as telemarketing calls.

Don't mind me, I'm having a grumpy morning.

When people tell you that you should be tolerant of other beliefs, how does that make you feel? I think of it as a betrayal to God to tolerate other gods, non-gods, witchcraft, etc. when the Bible instructs us Christians to shield such things. What are your thoughts?

To me its wasting a life on the after life and not living in the moment, not seeing the light in everyone and disconnecting from this world around us. To read scriptures and still seek wealth, and to give to charity in an attempt to buy your place in heaven but to never offer a helping hand to those that need it most!!

UUUmmm maybe its to be a religous leader, or preacher that collects for the poor yet lives in vast wealth themselves for they preach for other to give but sacrafice very little themselves!

I think that we ought to be seated up front, apart from the others, in reclining leather seats and have hostesses who bring us beverage and snack service, much like the people who fly first class with the airlines.

that we should try to understand what god is? I mean if something has created the universe then it's far beyond our human understanding and can only be of much higher inteliigence than human form.

r the most to become sad when their beloved persons die.
i said that because agnostics r not sure about anything ,they r not sure about God so it is accepted for them that they may go to hell after death.regarding atheists,they r sure that there is no any form of life after death so they should be the most to become sad after losing their relatives or beloved persons.

Vestal Virgins?
Also was the story of the Virgin Birth contrived to appeal to a Roman audience already used to Venerating Virgins?

Some people say that God made us perfect to begin with. But then, why do we style our hair and put on acrylic nails to please him. And that's true, why do we even put clothes on? So, I do everything that I can to look as FABULOUS as I can.

I have silicon implants and I feel like God loves them as much as I do. But sometimes I get some kind of rude looks and comments from other ladies in the church. Never the guys though. They always just nod and smile politely.

"Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually."

If color was taken out the picture what do you see? Was there actions justified and do you believe how far the NAACP has brought this? I say dont free them. Give them time and make them pay for there actions. As for the noose hangers. Well, they should do some time as well but there actions didnt physically hurt anyone it just hurt some black kids feelings thats all. Grow up and let the nooses go. We segregate on our own! If some would grow up and stop acting like they own everything and share like the education instilled upon each of us maybe we could all get along! Until the day that you can accept the past and stop living in it then we will never get along and the NAACP just keeps the racism pumping.

I never understood this type of thinking.

God is not obligated to reveal all of His ways to us. We are finite, human beings......created by God in His image and for His good pleasure.

There are some things that have to be left up to mystery in Scripture......why can you not accept that truth?

Please think Hypothetically.

Would ceremonious group worship be important to you?

Or would your prioritys lay somewere else?

Why does any type of God need ceremonys?

Surely an all powerful being would be above mocking humanity on a daily basis or more often?

Is God Sadistic or just stupid? He knows who will hate him, mock him, love him, obey him, doubt him, disbelieve in him, so why even create such people? I wouldn't create someone that hated me... and then send them to hell. Because it would be my own fault for giving such a person a unusual personality, and then blaming my own hand work for it. What exactly goes on in Gods head? He also says not to question the potter, yet he says all these bad things about us, so isnt that like god is insulting himself?

Why not have a place for sinners to do as they please, and the saints, one ruled by evil, one by good. Thats selfish to burn someone simply because they like hard rock music, like big parties, withcraft, etc...

Also, God said himself he created evil so everything he says he hates, is actually saying he hates himself, because he created it all.
