Society & Culture - 29 October 2007

they choose religion to get themselves on track.
My brother-in-law and sister-in-law used to be into drugs, cheating on each other, and beating up each other. They started going to a new church, became "Born Again" and then judged everyone else in the family for not becoming like them.
I told them I have't f-ed up my life bad enough to join their church.
They only did it for like 5 years, then they dropped it like a hot potato and resumed their earlier lifestyle.

I've been studying latin for about a month now and I was working on Wheelock's latin reader with a friend. and she why "Tum equum hasta tundit" translates to "then he strikes/beats the horse with a spear" and not "then the horse strikes with a spear". although i got the right translation and sorta know why it's so, i can't seem to put it into words to explain to her. can anyone enlighten us?

Personally, I'm more convinced than ever that I should have just stayed away and left everyone alone.

Don't you think that fact that there is more than one religion, thousands actually, portray that fact that some jo blow made it up for their village or town or whatever back in the day? How can people not see this. It's so sad.

I just want to know?

There seem to be a lot of anger and very little "Live and Let Live"

Or did he just steal two primates, stick them in the Garden of Eden and say, "uh...yeah, hey...I, uh, made you guys. Okay? Let's seeeeeeeee here...hmmmm...yeah, um, don't eat fruit from those trees, okay? Those are my favorite. If I don't have them, I go a little crazy. You know, it's not that I don't like to share, it's just, you know, they're only in season for so long and...well, I just really look forward to them every year. I mean, the animals...all yours. Really! Go ahead, it's just...man, that's some really good fruit."

the original Hebrew bible is mostly lost, the bible we have today differes significantly from the original Greek of, approx' 300ce. The bible has benn revised, re-written, re-translated, re-structured several times throughout the last 1700 yrs.
the bible, we know, has dozens of chapters missing that were in the original; So how do we know the bible is the word of God? and; what gave man the right to edit it?

please don't say " God edited it throught he hands of man" for why would God have to edit his word?

I mean, could it not mean the spirit of discovery? The literal application of Proverbs 2:4-6 in archeology have revealed ancient records telling us who the elohim were, naming many of them. These elohim were obviously not God, (Psalms 82) "Ye are elohim, all of you sons of the Most HIgh..."

How did we get white, black, asian, and hispanic people? Assuming Adam & Eve could have been any of the races listed. Does this make us all incest?
Is evolution more believable when you think of it from this point of view?

Christians I've talked to about evolution act like it is so shameful to believe that we evolved from "a monkey" when according to their beliefs we are all inbred instead. Doesn't being inbred seem a little more appalling than evolving from a lower species?
