Society & Culture - 21 October 2007

As I understand it, religion/spirituality/belief is just part of human nature. Now I wasn't raised in a religious family so I wasn't indoctrinated into any religion. I have a very hard time understanding religion.

There are people in this world killing each other because they don't agree on the proper way to worship the invisible man in the sky. Religion tends to be exclusivist (only WE are going to Heaven, etc.) Religion divides and causes hate.

And what's really strange is that if someone asks me if I believe in God and I say no, they act like I'm crazy.

Am I really crazy because I don't believe in an invisible man that lives in the sky and wants to punish people who don't hate themselves?

Where can I meet new people who like to have fun? It seems like I am the only one who still likes to go out and have a good time. This is so frustrating!

My husband is a Jehovah's Witness and it seems as though he has to portray a certain image in order to attend the Kingdom Hall and be accepted. He has not been baptized but because he was raised as a Jehovah's Witness he attends the Bible studies, goes the to the Kingdom Hall and has his one-on-one study with one of the Elders.

He wears a suit every single time he goes to a function. Why can't he wear a nice long sleeved shirt with a nice pair of slacks and dress shoes (basically without the jacket)? When I asked him he said that's just what Jehovah's Witnesses do. But why? Does it really matter?

I believe that everyone should dress nicely to go to the house of the Lord, but does that mean women have to wear dresses or dressy jackets with skirts and men have to wear suits? Besides the fact that Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate holidays, it seems as though they have a lot of requirements that have nothing to do with religion or God.

Who do you go to when you can't go to anyone? Do you feel life has a collective purpose and not just an individualistic one? How are you comforted when losing a loved one? What is the point of life if there is nothing afterward? Are we here just to serve as memories when we die?

them. The whole ceiling was full of them.They so were beautiful. I wanted to walk and have them brush against my face. there were some stars hanging from the streamers too. My daughter came in and wanted some and took them she also took a streamer that had a star ripped in half. Then we are outside sitting on the roof (city roof) and we could see the roof tops of everyone's house and there was someone who had some ducks in a cage and my daughter went to take care of the ducks. They also had two pretty birds sitting in a cage in their window. Then I noticed alot of houses had pretty animals. Which made me happy. There was someone selling dresses and I wanted to buy one. The lady thought the dress I was looking at would fit and look good on me. The sun was out and felt good and warm. Overall I woke up happy. There was also a guy in a white pharmacy coat he had black hair and blue eyes very attractive. He had a slight smile on his face. What the heck does this dream mean?

When, after each day of creating, the Bible specifically says, "So, the evening and the morning were the first day", and "so the evening and the morning were the second day" and "So the evening and the morning were the third day" and so on????? It is telling you right there that a day was a day and a night was a night. Why do people keep leaving this out when they talk about the creation? It is just so plain and simple. God didn't make it to be complicatied. He was saying there was day, and there was night, and that made ONE DAY. Anybody else agree with this?

Is it bad to you tell your mom that 'favorite' is pronounced as "Favorite" and not "Pavorite"? She tells me that... who cares if I pronounce it the wrong way, people would understand me anyway...*btw, I'm from the Philippines... *... I think that she thinks that me and my bro think that she's stupid... because...she keeps on telling her friend on phone that my children (becoz my bro's also like that) are arrogant... she keeps on saying, "People have different talents, I may not be good at English, but I'm good at medical stuff...they shouldn't think too big of themselves..." Waaa... I can't take this anymore, she thinks we think that she's stupid... waa...help! I keep on explaining that I don't think of her as a stupid person, I just want her to know the "right" pronounciation... ugh... someone help me!

i say that spanish is speaking just in south america and in spain .
but french is speaking in 5continents

THERE is a great differents with "the language the most speaking" and "the language the most widely"
i say , widely means the most area--expanse .
and "the most speaking "means how many poeple speak this language

so i'd say french is most widely than spanish ,of course spanish is most speak than french but french is the most widely
there are most french-speaker countries than spanish-speaker countries
french-speaker countries are more widely in the world than spanish-speaker countries
spanish -speakers countries are localised in the south america and in spain but french-speakers are localised in the 5continents. also french is the official language of the union with enlgish ,german

its the same thing with chinese-speakers they are localised in china but china is so great and widely and so crownded.
so chinese is the language the most spoken in the world
