Society & Culture - 27 September 2007

I'm being very serious on this:
We are over populating this plant, so wouldn’t it be in the best interest for future generations to cull some of the current generation, set a mandatory age limit 80 or something like that. Or create mandatory birth control or sterilize certain people upon birth to insure we don’t continue to over populate and deplete our resources.

It might not be moral, but lets put morals aside and think realistic, we are are over populating.

I’m very serious and ask you to think about this too, what’s you opinion, look at the Asian countries, they already have child limit laws, should they be world wide.

Catholic Bishops Agree to Let Hospitals Give Emergency Contraception to Rape Victims, why?

They were against it until today. Why did they change? Is it because a law is about to go into effect that requires it? Are the Catholic bishops just caving in? What about their beliefs, don't they mean anything? Do Catholic beliefs change to whatever is convenient at the time?

Here's the story:

What are some of your pet peeves?

I hate it when people don't return the shopping carts to the coral in the parking lots, they leave them to hit someones car cuz they are too lazy to put them back.

...and I just don't get the toilet seat thing...I understand lifting the seat but the whole thing about putting it down (I think) confuses me.

Do you realize that we would not be here right now if it wasn't for Noah obeying God?

Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, after being given divine warning of things not yet beheld, showed godly fear and constructed an ark for the saving of his household; and through this [faith] he condemned the world, and he became an heir of the righteousness that is according to faith.

We are all descendants of Noah.

If the answer to either or both questions is yes, can you provide sources. Thanks.

Other Christians... I need your opinions?

What is your opinion on the people who just answer questions saying "You are going to burn!"

I mean, doesn't that just give Christianity a BAD REPUTATION... Just like that preacher who was praying to bring oil prices down... Seriously.

Why do some Christians just say "you will burn in hell"? It simply infuriates others... Saying that they are damned to eternal suffering doesn't really make a positive impact.

Just think about this: does the threat of eternal pain convince people on YA to convert?

The Senate voted to extend federal hate-crime protection to people victimized because of their sexuality???

Is this an erosion of religious rights and freedom of speech. Will it take away the Fundemental privlage to express hatred of people who don't live by your religious principles?

What's it going to take?

9-11 sparked interest and some fear, but soon America was trying to excuse what had happened rather than repent. Katrina and Rita took thier toll, and God left the streets used for Marti Gras in well enough form for us to have space to repent. and we defiantly declair that the abominable parade of flesh will continue. Now that we have not repented, but are threatening to take "In God We Trust" out of our treasury, what depression are we welcoming in? Now that we want to take "One Nation Under God" out of the pledge of allegience, what captivity are we trying to bring on? Now that we have taken the 10 commandments down from our courthouses, what higher lawlessness shall we welcome? Does no one care that America is heading headlong into Hell and God is begging for us to repent before he has to realy hurt us? God loves America and wants to bless America... but what has she become? Who will pray for America, who will rally and campaign for God and the Bible in America?

Christians do you agree that the anti-Christ will come with a message of Peace?

In corresponding with a Christian today - I said that accepting and not judging other religions was our first step - as individuals - toward peace. He e-mailed me back saying - "the Bible says that antichrist comes under a banner of "peace" among all, and then goes on a reign of terror worse than the world has ever seen. So I don't trust everyone with a 'peace' message."

I think this is a judgmental, fearful way to live your life. So - I'm wondering. Do other Christians agree with him?

Is it that "God is being taken out of everything" or are bad parents to blame?

We hear all the time that ever since "God was taken out of schools" (as some people view it) our world has gotten much worse. Daughter raised a good point in a previous question that perhaps people should stop blaming "God being taken out of everything" and actually take responsibility themselves for the way their kids turn out. Is it, in fact, a lessened emphasis on God in schools that's to blame or just not so great parenting? Would it be a problem that kids are not being exposed to God in schools if their parents actually did their job at home?

Personally, I think that "God has been taken out of everything" bit and the idea that we need God to learn morals is bollocks to begin with, but try to answer the question from the perspective from which it is written.

On another note, has our world really gotten worse?

do you think it is possible to convert gays?

from my previous sociology & psychology studies, i have heard of churches (mormons particularly) who teach that you can convert a gay person into a straight person. i know that electroshock therapy and intense prayer has been used in the past to "cure" homosexuality. do you think it is possible to convert gays with the power of prayer? if so, is it necessary to do these conversions?

check out my online survey on marriage & relationships at http://geocities.com/sbiv37/ i'd love your input.
