Society & Culture - 26 September 2007

I saw a story online that some sick people where placing needles in phone boxes/phone booths which where infected with aids
They also put them in seats in the movies.
Is the a urban legend or is it true?.
On the news lately there was a case where a young woman was stabbed twise with a needle and she is waiting for the results of a blood test.

Reason why i ask is that i used a phone booth today i used my sholder to push against the door to get out and then i noticed my arm stings i looked and there was a mark on my arm and its been bleeding.

i personally believe in individual freedom, where everyone has equal access to every natural resource and basic needs and hence i'm a strong supporter of hippie community, sometimes i hope y not there be many communities like that where ppl have their personal freedom to the fullest with no INHIBITIONS and RULES FORCIBLY IMPOSED, but HIPPIES didnt stand the test of time, do u ppl think that such communites cant exist in this world successfully?

then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it back down to give the vacuum one more chance?

In this response to this question:

many Christians mentioned that the reason animals have homosexual sex is because God didn't give them the Law- they just follow instincts because they don't have freewill.

If they don't have freewill, aren't they just doing exactly what God intended for them? God created them, right? And without freewill, nothing they do could be their own idea. But they DO have homosexual sex. So God must think it's okay in the animal kingdom, since it's natural, and since he made nature.

So my point is, how can you say being homosexual isn't natural? It seems to me that if God's Law really does say not to have homosexual sex that is not because they aren't "born that way" but because he simply doesn't want them to even though it may be natural for them.

What do you think?

(Its a hard thing to describe) Like you fly through your day doing stuff youre not even sure you like, doing stuff you know you dont like, but are led to believe are necessary. And so finally at the end of the day you come home and you dont feel right, like theres a hole inside of you and you dont know how to fill it. Does anybody else feel this way? How do you fix it? Thanks

i mean what made u become/convert to an agnostic or atheist ???

for me, it was a life changing moment....i was brought up in a loving and religiously home....i went to the temple every sunday...however i was molested by the preist at the tender age of 9 yrs old in the temple....i was like every other kid....i liked cartoons, toys, believed in Santa Claus, playing at the park, etc.....but after that horrible incident, i completely changed....i started questioning everything....i read that God protected its followers from harm....oh yeah, well where the f.u.c.k. was he when i was being molested ???

at the age of 9, i was thinking why didn't God save me ??? should he have struck down the preist with lighting or something ??? of course, that never happened....that more i read the bible and "holy books," that more i was disgusted by it....

John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.

Isn't that the same as saying we are all Protestants because we all protest certain things?
Why do atheists, notably Dan Barker-- I've heard it in every debate he has engaged in-- and some more famous atheists, make this odd point as if it means anything?
It's to similar to Kurk Cameron's claims that atheists are really agnostic.

I mean, the bible tells us about him living somewhere out there in the universe. Sounds like an alien to me. The same goes for the angels.

Will you please define the word alien if you don't consider YHWH and the angels to be aliens.

Why do they have to be deffended as they were apart from each other anyway?

Sometimes I think it is all about who came first (God or Evolution) as the creator that we discuss about, but what if the Evolution theory is really right, the Universe was made from an explosion, human beings came from apes, dynossaurs inhabited the Earth, Adam and Eve really existed, although they were not the first, and everything else with God's permission...

Why not?

Humans are very clearly described as being unique because they were created to have free will.

Lately, my dog has been engaging in some pretty deviant behavior and I am scared for his soul. Some of the things that concern me the most:

- He is NOT monogamous.
- He has "special relationships" with other male dogs.
- When I take him to the park, and he sees another dog, he always goes up and smells that dog's behind.

Is there anything I can do for him? Is there anyway I can teach him to have good, Christian, values?

Serious Answers only please. Thanks!!!

Since when is mumbling some kind of spiritual language?...give me a break...I think it is more a reaction to the over use of hairspray if you ask me from looking at these rubes.

Like when there is a prophetic word in Church, or if someone is giving a testimony, or if someone speaks in tongues in Church?

She was raised in a Christian home, but she realized that she has never known God, and wants to find him... well really she wants to want to find him, if you get my meaning. She feels apathetic. Please pray that God will break through her apathy so that she can accept God into her heart, which is what she desires also.
