Society & Culture - 15 October 2007

I am trying to get a new bible. I would like one in more contemporary wording, the one I have now is like ancient text and I cannot understand most of what it says. I am young so I dont want an old looking one or a huge one that ways 900 pounds. If possible i would love when the book is closed for the pages to be silver. Help me find one I will love and you win!

This is more like Appendix A to my main series of questions rather than fitting in uniformly with it. Is prompted by some of the answers I'm getting, especially to question #2: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071015074255AAz0sCk&r=w

What does it mean to know something?

Please tell me what this verse means?

John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

When are religious folk going stop blaming all the ills of the world on a fictitious figure, stop hiding behind the skirt of another fictitious figure and stand up and take responsibilities for there own actions.

If he's existed for ever and made everything. What did he do before he made everything? Humans in the scheme of things are very recent.

Does it say anything about this anywhere?

ALl of the guys I work with are from Central America, mainly Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala.

They all use this phrase all the time and us gringas can't understand it.

They wrote it down once, but none of them went to school so I'm not even sure if they're spelling it right, but they wrote it like this

"Papa desime".
They yell it out all the time, and laugh when they say it, and hte pronnounce it like "PApa deh-see-may."

What on earth does this mean?

If you missed the first one, feel free to look it up on my asked qustions list!
Ok....for the most part it seems that people think faith can be all the things I mentioned and more..that it is a complex thing and not cut and dry. I did notice alot of people beleive you need to feel faith for it to be effective in your life.
Here is my question...(mainly for Christains and other Deists)
Is it possible to set "God" aside for one week, and have faith in yourself?..Is it possible to get the exact same results you would get praying to your "god"(or goddesses) that you would get if you prayed to your self.
Would you ever accept that challange? Or would you stay thinking about and having faith in someone else?..
What would scare you the most about accepting the challange to have faith in yourself and still live your life as you are now?

"I confess that I cannot forbid a person to marry several wives, for it does not contradict the Scripture. If a man wishes to marry more than one wife he should be asked whether he is satisfied in his conscience that he may do so in accordance with the word of God. In such a case the civil authority has nothing to do in the matter." (De Wette II, 459, ibid., pp. 329-330.)

The three monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - all
purport to share one fundamental concept: belief in God as the Supreme
Being, the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe. Known as "tawhid" in
Islam, this concept of the Oneness of God was stressed by Moses in a
Biblical passage known as the "Shema," or the Jewish creed of faith:
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." (Deuteronomy 6:4)

It was repeated word-for-word approximately 1500 years later by Jesus
when he said: "...The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; the
Lord our God is one Lord." (Mark 12:29)

«"Muhammad came along approximately 600 years later, bringing the same message again: "And your God is One God: There is no God but He, ..."» (The Qur'an 2:163)

Christianity has digressed from the concept of the Oneness of God,
however, into a vague and mysterious doctrine that was formulated during the fourth century.

In response to a previous question:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20071009093211AAxepWd

Just about EVERY atheist said that they had NO desire to “save” what they call poor, deluded, un-evolved, uneducated, and/or brainwashed Christians from their false beliefs and fears.

Isn’t this profoundly unloving, heartless, and callous?

Is your mode of disposal important to you? Would you like to be buried with loved ones? In a pretty place?

This question has been asked many times, but in order to solve the problem we need to go back to the roots. Where the cycle began.
I think it's safe to say it all started in slavery.
So I want to know, how will and can we rise up and over come?
A friend of mine (Anthony Browder) once gave me a solution I want to hear what you have to say.

ok so im in Aus and recently at my school weve been BANNED from giving out christmas cards to our friends and teachers in school hours. because it "might" offend some of the muslim kids at our school.

now im not narrow minded IMHO but isnt this a little unfair, i mean, its our country and i think we should be allowed to follow our traditions. most people i know wouldnt mind if the kids of other cultures celebrated their traditions at school aswell, and honestly the giving of christmas card at out (secular) school has very little religious signifigance. its just a fun friendly sort of thing.
whats your view on this?
