Society & Culture - 26 September 2007

recently heard on the radio an expert on the slave trade call for all western countries involved in slavery to say sorry for these atrocious acts. Now, who beleives we should apologise for them? Bearing in mind that we weren't directly involved or responsible (meaning,us now, 173 years on). Like expecting all modern German people to say sorry for the Nazis.

My mother in law came over for dinner last night and said a prayer to bless the food. I am so tired of her doing this as I consider myself a wonderful cook. I became angry and flung the mashed potatoes all over her. My hubby says I am overreacting...what are your thoughts? Sometimes he sides with his mother too much.

If you're basing your opinion on Hugh Grant then I know why! But most English men are not like him at all and are quite the opposite!!

John 17:6 “I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have observed your word.

John 17:11 “Also, I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to you. Holy Father, watch over them on account of your own name which you have given me, in order that they may be one just as we are.

John 17:12 When I was with them I used to watch over them on account of your own name which you have given me;

John 17:26 And I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.”

I am a Christian. I have found that when mentioned I am shunned. Everyone says, "Have an open mind". I find this confusing since Christianity is attacked from all angles. Perhaps it is due to some bad experiences that people bash us. I am told to be accepting of all people from all back grounds but I feel this acceptance rule does not apply to Christians. Now I realize some of you have one goal to disprove any religion. I just would like to know why I accept people for who they are and love them regardless of differences and I am laughed at over my beliefs. I do not stand around saying you will go to hell over this or that. When asked I will give my opinion and yes there are some things I believe are just wrong. The problem is when did it become OK to hate Christians when acceptance is the rule of the day.
Please be civil in answering. I am only doing research. Thanks.

Im going through a break - up with my love. I do love him, he loves me as well. Im just still young, and im not ready for the seriousness of this relationship.


He is not a very religious person... nor am I, but I have learned a lot about Christianity through my mother...
I have taught my love during our relationship about God. I have been talking about God through the whole break up... that he must trust that God has a plan for each of us, and that if His plan is for us to be together then he will make it happen!

He has started to pray, and just talk with God. Tell him everything... and he says it makes him feel better.
But he is praying that God makes me come back to him... is that wrong? I have told him to pray that Gods will be done... and he is doing that... but is it wrong that he prays for God to bring me back to him? And for us to be together?

Today, I challenged alleninthehills to put up some proof in one of his questions about evolution. He took my challenge, and although we still disagree, I can appreciate his approach to the issue at hand.

I think it's pretty cool when two people who disagree on the main part of any topic, especially religion, can interact in a positive way. alleninthehills, you're okay in my book....even if you aren't an atheist (haha).

Do you have any such stories of positive inter-religion correspondence? ;o) I thought we could all use a little positive stuff for a change!

You live in the hottest country in the world and Ramadan falls in the hottest season. People collapse in the street from mineral depletion and dehydration when fasting and some have even died. Is it permitted to defer the fast under these circumstances?

I get a bit tied of the Athiests and Christians slugging it out between them. They seem to think you are either a Christian or an Atheist they seem to ignor the myriad of other philosophies and spiritualities that exist. I admit in that debate I do favor the Atheists but my real position is 'a plague on both your houses!'

John 16:27 For the Father himself has affection for YOU, because YOU have had affection for me and have believed that I came out as the Father’s representative. 28 I came out from the Father and have come into the world. Further, I am leaving the world and am going my way to the Father.”

desire and need to worship something, or someone?
Why is there such a universal religious sense within humanity?

2)Where does all of the incredibly complex information come from that is stored within DNA? Information doesn’t just appear by itself. Someone has to put it there. God.

3)What about the evidence of design in all of creation? It is obvious that anything that is designed has to have an intelligent creator. For example, a computer never came about by mere accident, but had to have been thought out and planned by an intelligent designer. It is the same with creation, and more so, as the natural world is far more complicated than anything humanity can create. God is the answer.

4)How do you explain the changed lives of millions of people throughout history who testify to a life changing experience with Jesus Christ?

5)Isn’t it a bit extreme to assert "God does not exist"?

I have more, but I will have to wait as I am running out of space and questions for the day.
