Society & Culture - 12 October 2007

Someone in R&S is trying to prove the earth is flat. I responded, defending the fact that the earth is round. I simply stated that the earth must be round because it is hollow, with the fey folk and all the dinosaurs living inside. If the earth were flat, where would they go?
Everyone is giving me a thumbs down. I had no idea there were still so many flat-earthers.



:P

First off, please don't tell me there is no such thing as the one true Church or that God doesn't exist...I would like to find out for myself.

I am Roman Catholic and I've been practicing since I was very very young. It's great and I'm happy with it...but the only problem is that I don't have a lot of knowledge about it, and because I am not well educated in the subject of Christianity, I am not confident enough to say that it is the right church.

Now my question is...where the heck can I do my research for this? How do I start? I can, of course, start reading the bible but I might need a book or a website that would help me interpret them. HELP!

thank you.

I have run into so many people who claim that they are "saved", "Christian", or whatever....These same people commit such evil, cruel and atrocious acts towards others on a regular basis--yet, they think that anyone who worships Satan or offers their soul to Satan is somehow horrible and terrible. The excuse I hear is that "we have all fallen short" so that's just how it is. What kind of hypocrisy is this? Is it better to call yourself "saved" or a "Christian", while you promote war, intolerance, torture and killing in the name of your religious beliefs? Would any just "God" even stand for this from "His" own followers?

I am 18. My BF is 16. The Age of Consent in NY is 17.

My question is "can I legally shower with him (no penetration of any kind) before he is 17?

What about sleeping together with no sex?

If you could provide any laws or summaries I would appreciate it. I just don't want to break any laws. Thanks.

I'm catholic and I'm not asking to be judged or criticized for my question. I'm on birth control to regulate my period- if i don't take my BC i won't ovulate and therefore won't get my period and if I do get my period there is no rhyme or reason to my cycle it comes and goes without warning (all you ladies can appreciate how annoying and difficult that is) . Is taking my birth control still committing a sin?

Basically it is like that. I ask "Why do you totally reject X?". I am asking for some nuance. The atheist replies "There is no evidence at all." For example X = "awareness is at the basis of matter".

Practically speaking, all the evidence that each scientist personally has is only in books, authority of other scientists, etc. It is all based on trust. The logic is within your mind, but the basic evidence is not. I would be entitled to reject this evidence using the same argument that atheists use to reject evidence presented about life after death, etc.

I do trust more science than I trust other tradition of knowledge. The above was just an extreme position to explain that evidence always depends on trust, and it is always subjective. I cannot understand that someone would totally reject all accounts of the reality, etc. that we find elsewhere. There should be some nuance here. Things aren't back and white. "No evidence" is a very absolute answer, typical of a believer.

For 1, i was thinking of just getting a small christmas light or some such to run on a battery or something behind the eyes....is there any way to get that across?

2: http://www.halloweenmart.com/wecs.php?action=display&target=FR33455

For this one, I was thinking of covering those eye slits with a material...something plastic-ish, see through, and green. What do you guys think??

And if you haven't guessed already, I'm kind of going for a Spawn outfit here ;)

Please help!!!

No need to ask believers this question, as they would say he was an actual person. What do you think, was Jesus of Nazareth an actual person? Im not asking if he ever perfromed miracles and if he was the son of God etc.. , just do you think he ever existed?

just before maynamar monks were beaten under the watchful eye of world television screens,president of Iran was here in the US and we let him had it. Am sure if that happens in Iran,the name of Iran and its president would mentioned a million times a day on our tv stations and the whole world would mobilised . But we stayed and watched freedom in Maynamar being beaten to death,with no reaction. Isnt that weird or do we only intervene in muslim countries ?
