Society & Culture - 10 October 2007

Do you believe the Bible teaches morals, if not truth? Would you want your child to grow up Christian (whatever affiliation you choose) and then determine their own personal religious truth, or would you raise them to be agnostic, like yourself?

In which case, would you celebrate holidays such as Christmas or Easter, since they have commercialized over the years?

Do you think that your children would be lonely if they did not have Sunday school and friends to see each week in their class, or do you think school classes and recess, each weekday, would be enough for general socialization?

I ask this as an agnostic who plans on having children someday... I'm just curious as to others' opinions.

Do you seriously believe the government worships Satan and wants to put all Christians in concentration camps? And that they control the world? It's obviously a load of crap. But so many people believe it. Why is this? I think this is like Y2K. Remember how much "evidence" there was. But when you applied logic to the matter you realized it was crap. But do you seriously believe this? Like without a doubt.

It really is difficult to remain unbiased when it comes to discussing Americans. They arrogate to themselves the right to act as this planet's policeman, to condemn other countries for real or perceived breaches of human rights and to rail against forms of government which in American eyes are less democratic than theirs. As Americans are such good Christians, surely they know the passage in the Bible that says: "O thou hypocrite, before thou wouldst remove the splinter from thy brother's eye, attend to the beam in thine own eye!" Never has a passage from the Bible been more apt. So naturally do Americans become defensive when their own shortcomings are pointed out to them, because to face the truth would be unbearable.
Which other self-proclaimed peace-loving country has waged so many wars against smaller defenceless countries, has allowed the members of their military to commit atrocity after atrocity going back to WW2, the Korean War, Vietnam, and now Iraq?
In what other country do you need to be a millionaire or at least be able to raise millions in order to be elected to parliament or chief executive?
Where else on this globe has the education system broken down and/or deteriorated to such an extent that children no are no longer able to read and write or do simple arithmetic and need to take remedial classes upon entering college?
In which other country with the exception of certain Middle Eastern nations does a small fundamentalist religious minority have the power to manipulate both government and the media to enforce a Victorian concept of morality upon an unwilling population?
I could go on and on, but let this suffice.
No wonder Americans are sensitive when it comes to discussing their shortcomings

How many Christians are willing to go below their standards to vote for a candidate?
Go ahead atheists, put your two cents worth in anyway. I usually ignore the answers, since they are always critical.

The messiah, the son of G-d, im sure would be able to speak for G-d, or do what he wants. Does it say in the Tanakh the Messiah would keep kosher, or that he wouldn't heal the sick on the Shabbat? Yes it says not for man to add to the law, but if G-d wants to revise it i'm sure he has his reasons? The Pharisees were turning Shabbat into a chore, not a day of rest. Yeshua wanted to make that clear. Are there any prophecies he did not fufil? (out of the hundreds of them). Was there a prophecy that said not to break any of the law? What is it that the Jews have against Him nowadays?

Would God let his prophet get locked up in a looney bin for building an ark for a flood that never came?

Or would have God have wiped everyone out anyway?

my mom is Sunday Worshiper,thats how i know.she doesnt know the reason for alot of the teachings,she just knows the teachings.im not of iether of those religions,im SDA(Seventh Day Adventist),thats why i dont know.

gotta ask; if thats true as she says then,what kind of teaching is that?!what kind of Christian teaches their part of the flock to stay away from another part of the flock??that sounds stupid 2 me.i dont think it matters WHAT religion a person is,the point is they believe in & love God.what more could possibly matter?

is it because they dont believe in celebrating anything?
because they dont believe that God is a Trinity?
because they dont believe that Mary was a virgin?
because they go door-2-door?

what do u have against them?my mom thinks that other Sunday Worshipers would think shes crazy 4 having JW's @ her house every wednesday BECAUSE of how she was raised.(she had them over bcuz she was curious 2 know their beliefs,& now that shes familiar ...........

That as the Apostle Paul Grew in the Lord, Paul kept refering to himself, lesser and lesser until he was the chief of the sinners! You can follow the Transition as you Read Through the New Testament.

The Gospel of John (20:7) tells us that the napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes.The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded, and was placed at the head of that stony coffin. Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom
Jesus loved. She said, "They have taken the Lord's body out of
the tomb, and I don't know where they have put him!" Peter and the other disciple ran to the tomb to see.
The other disciple out ran Peter and got there first.
He stooped and looked in and saw the linen cloth lying there, but he didn't go in. Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside.
He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there, while the
cloth that had covered Jesus' head was folded up and lying to the side. Is that important? Absolutely!

When you are selecting a TV show or a movie, do you think about whether God or Jesus would approve of the show?

If your in the middle of watching something do you turn it off, or get up leave if it is suggestive or has killing or sex in it, or has content against what is taught in the bible? Do you feel that by continuing to watch that you are disobeying your Lords commandments?
