Society & Culture - 15 October 2007

I had a translation in English from a Spanish friend as follows:

"you are leaving".

I'm confused as "tu" means "your","te" means "you" as an object pronoun and "vas" means"you leave".Aided by my poor level in Spanish,I think that "you are leaving" is equal to "(Tú) vas" in Spanish.Thus "tu te vas" may have a different meaning.PLZ explain

Thanks in advance 4 help

Do you know why the Eastern Orthodox and the Catholics refer to Mary as Queen of Heaven? Consider this Old Testament verse:
1 Kings 2:19 "When Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, the king stood up to meet her, bowed down to her and sat down on his throne. He had a throne brought for the king's mother, and she sat down at his right hand..."

In Hebrew and other Middle Eastern culture of the time, the mother of the king was always considered the queen. The word for this was "Gabira", or "queen mother".
Now, Jesus is from the line of David, and among other things, is a king: In fact, he is the King of kings. It would be normal for any Jew, therefore, to consider his mother the queen.

This is totally biblical (if you understand biblical 'typology"), and is also culturaly correct. It is a failing of protestasnts that they read the Bible through American eyes and not eyes of first century Jews, otherwise they would see many of the things we Catholics see.

I have asked this question 3 times already and can't get a clear answer. Is there a problem with a man or woman who is attracted to you be able to see you through the cracks in the door in the public bathrooms? Can men and women use the same bathrooms at the same time?

Pope said'' Do not do not follow tha path of pride , rather follow the path of humility....Go against the current5 trend :do not le\isten to the persuasive and biased chorus of voices that today form much of the propaganda of life, drenched in arrogance and violence, in dominance and succes at all costs , where appearance and possesion to the detriment of others is openly promoted''..

If you happen to know a better leader then this, just let me know , and give me information about where i can read what he says - which newspaper, book or church etc...

We (catholics) call Mary the Mother of God and many protestants have a cow. Would you prefer if we called her Mother of Jesus?

We dont mean without her there would be no God, she gave birth to Jesus Christ- Jesus IS God... but you seem more wrapped up in words. If we changed that word would you be happier?

Me and my friend booked a flight only to Italy for this weekend just gone. The transport to the airport was not organised nor was anything once we got there.

Now I always end up organising because shes not pro active at all, but shes a friend and I care for her. I am always there listening to her problems (phone and face to face) and she barely listens to mine.

My cousin died last week and its the anniversary of the death of my sister coming up so Im having personal problems too.

Now on Friday she text me saying 'when are you coming down tomorrow?' I gnored this text and we ended up not goint to Italy.

She then text me last night saying 'am disgusted in the way you did this...you know what ive been going through past few days. Never again''

But she NEVER takes my life into consideration.

Was what I did, wrong? Please help. Thank you in advance.

Some may say that man should help man because it is beneficial to society. However what if someone's entire livelihood is dependent on this belief? Should others be expected to support these people, so that the harmony in their community isn't jeopardized?

I like people who answer my questions to be treated fairly.

Sometimes cool people get thumbs down for telling jokes on my questions, or just being honest with their disagreement and I don't like that. If they don't offend the person asking then who are any of us to thumbs down the answer.

Be nice: Give it a thumb up or leave it alone.

Its says in the bible that if you do not commit yourself to the Christian faith you will not be allowed into Heaven (The Forth Commandment) So, my grand-father (a Buddhist) was a rightous and moral man yet, he didn't belive in the Christian god so therefore he is not allowed into heaven? Does the same hold true for Gandhi? Please, someone tell me that a rightous and morally just man can still make it into heaven regardless of thier faith. I am right now deciding in my life which faith to follow between Buddhism and Christianity. And if Christianity is so close-minded to not reward men for thier good deeds towards mankind just because they did not worship the Christian god then I think I may have to go the way of the Buddhist because their path to rightousness and Nirvana can be obtained regardless of your faith.

I need some recipes besides the traditional Thanksgiving meal dishes. I want my own food traditions, not always the norm ones. (Of course I still want turkey :) )

For example: my mother made a brocoli, cheese, and rice dish and we have it every year.
Now I live on my own and I want my own traditions. Help please?

I mean really take it out.

Like in a four hour rant on all the ways in which gods are impossible and unnecessary.

A rant where you spew all of the things you have learned over the years until the religious person just looks at you with that innocent puppy look and says "well, I believe because I choose to believe."

Is there a problem going into these places where someone who may be sexually attracted to you are at?

What is the problem with closeing the door with some stranger who is attracted to you is on the other side?

The cracks in the doors don't show all that much.
