Society & Culture - 12 October 2007

Let's say it would be possible to sacrifice a current living person in order to bring back someone who is deceased. It is possible to select who would be brought back and who would be sacrificed and they can be sacrificed in any way, let's say lethal injection. So you could sacrifice a homeless guy and bring back let's say einstein or mozart or anyone else. Anyways, I know this question is not ethical, but if it were possible, would you say it would be okay to do this in some situations, which would mean that someone's life is worth more than another. Tell me your thoughts.

Be pacific and clear on your answer. And also be mature about it.

"The difference between gravity and evolution is that even if you can't 'prove' the theory of gravity, you can jump out of a window and injure yourself. It is tried and tested.

The theory of evolution is also tried and tested. Adolf Hitler engineered a project in evolution and millions of people were killed and murdered as a result of his experiment.

Just as testing gravity causes injury. Testing the theory of evolution causes an injury to the hearts of men. Gravity is as anchored in science as evolution is anchored in sin and the wishful thinking of sinful murderous men.

So in reality we are not the ones who are impressionable. It is those who hate who are the puppets. Not Christians. Satan hates mankind. Evolution hates mankind also. See the connection?

While you and others like yourself await a verdict on evolution and other erroneous unscientific concoctions. Christians have moved on with their lives. We rest

I may not be the first, nor the last, but I'm important enough to be located between the pillars, on top of the only full-time sitting President in Washington D.C. If you think my college mascot is a duck or gopher, well you're aiming to high. Which state am I?

I was shocked, confused, bewildered

as I entered Heaven's door,

Not by the beauty of it all,

nor the lights or its decor.



But it was the folks in Heaven

who made me sputter and gasp--

the thieves, the liars, the sinners,

the alcoholics, the trash



There stood the kid from seventh grade

who swiped my lunch money twice.

Next to him was my old neighbor

who never said anything nice.



Herb, who I always thought

was rotting away in hell,

was sitting pretty on cloud nine,

looking incredibly well.



I nudged Jesus, "What's the deal?

I would love to hear Your take.

How'd all these sinners get up here?

God must've made a mistake.



"And why is everyone so quiet,

so somber? Give me a clue."

"Hush, child," said He, "they're all in shock.

No one thought they'd be seeing you."



Judge NOT.



Let the Lord be your Judge.......

I don't want to celebrate Christmas...in the way that we, as a family, have always celebrated Christmas.
My kids range in age 16-25(w/spouses as well). I have 2 grandbabies.
I used to go-all-out, with food, gifts and decorating...christmas cheer...etc.
I want to celebrate spiritually....but that's it.
My feelings have been like this for a few years now, and each year, the feeling gets stronger...and I just don't want to do it.
How do I explain to my kids that I just don't want to do Christmas?

Hi,

I've kind of wondered this for a while now because friends did some research into Vampires and what not, so... do Vampire's and Were/Ware Wolves really exist?!

Are any of the readers reading this believers? Do you think/believe you are related to super natural beings? or do you have proof you ARE one?!

Hey, if you got facts or links post them up... proof, fiction, quizzes ^.^ I'm all ears because I don't know if Vampire's or Were/Ware Wolves exist ^.^ so you can call this... a search for understanding and knowledge of the unknown.

If you want to tell me that there are more breeds of Were/Ware's and Vampires than the Psi/Bloodlust and Human Flesh Devouring kinds then post up the link with the explination and facts ^.^ "knowledge is power!" as they say ^.^

(Why do I spell it Were/Ware? well truth be told my spelling sucks... more so when I type really fast so I'm making sure that I don't make an error to offend people ^.^)

Mel out ^.^

Women being ministers and preaching in church? I'm not trying to put down women who do so please don't get mad.
From what I have read in the bible, men are to be the leaders of the church.
Can you give me scripture please where it's ok for women to preach? My mom and I disagree on this subject.
Thank you and God Bless :)

How about open your door to someone who needs a warm bed. How about getting off your tush, knocking on a door and giving someone help, because its would be nice. How about if your a CEO of a company offering a job that would pay the bills. How about a pot luck dinner with another ethnic group of your choice. Wouldn't it be nice if all those who say they believed in Jesus would actually follow his teachings and do something that is worthy of his name. Wouldn't it be great if the upper and middle class citizens drove to the poorest communities and associated with common folks or had a thankgiving feast with them. Got any other Ideas???

A lot of people consider me a child. And okay, maybe I am. But even in just 12 years of life, I have observed one important thing: It's considered wrong to make our opinions and wants known. If you disagree with the other members of your workgroup, you are automatically ostracized. If there is something your doctor thinks is right but you want to object because you disagree or want another opinion, you're automatically wrong because you don't have the "authority" to comment on medicine that you're putting into your own body. I don't think it's right: if it affects you I think you should have a say. Do you think it's right for people to tell us what we can and can't voice?

Can anyone (preferably a native speaker) translate this farewell? It was at the end of a letter, but the on-line translaters don't explain it well enough.

And for any Christians who answer: Is bigotry sinful?

I will need to know 'exactly' what you will be wearing, and what events you are compteing in. What you are wearing must be very explicit, as this is a very big event. And I don't want to put you in the wrong event. If you are a swimmer, I don't want you in te high jump.
