Society & Culture - 30 October 2007

I have just recently started to go back to church and I went this sunday and I sang a song for the on eyear anniversary of my church and usualy I am very shy to sing infront of people besides my family and friends but there were like 40 people I didnt know sitting before me and I felt so comfortable and I just sang and let it all out my arms were in the air tears were running down my face and yet I continued to sing so was this a act of God?

And are you trying to be one? If so, why? Are we supposed to be 'Good Christians'?

My office is located just below that of a Pediatritian. Because there are moms coming in and out with their kids, I am accustomed to seeing mothers bring their sons into the bathroom with them, as they are generally too young to go unaccompanied.

Just a couple of minutes ago, I was in the ladies room, and when I opened the stall door, a young boy who was at least 10 years old went walking past me. His mother was standing by the sink waiting for him.

My question is, isn't that a bit too old for you to be bringing your son with you into the ladies room? He was clearly old enough to use the men's bathroom on his own.

The subject of gays being born or it being choice has been beaten to death. On that there are scientific facts. And the ones that refute those facts will not change their views.
But about a year ago, I read something about created homosexuality. Don't weigh my statistics too heavily as I am almost certain they are inacurate. But it seems that when the male to female population ratio exceedes something like 108 to 100, they create gays. A simple matter of not having enough women to go around. And it gets worse as the ratio rises. Okay, a few examples here are some of the African nations as well as India. There are higher numbers of gays in those countries. If there is a war, male birth rates rise to make up for the losses. If the ratio rises enough, more gays. Actually, the artical was in regard to roving gangs and terrorists as a result of the same male to female ratios. The things about gays was tied with it. A whole new thing to consider. Something new to consider?

then how are we preparing our kids for the real world?

Acting like you can ignore religion is an idiotic thing to do. Once they graduate from their sheltered enviroment called the US public schools they're going to face a big thign in their lives and have no idea how to handle it...

Should theology classes be manditory like gym class, math, and history? I think kids should have atleast 1 theology class in school so they can learn the basics of other religions so they wont have false prejudice against others.

In the vedic tradtion it is very scientifically understood that the cow is one of our 7 holy mothers. The cow and the bull are the source of Dharma(Religion) and Artha(Wealth) in society. The cow is the supplier of milk, butter, ghee, yogurt, and cheese. The urine and stool of the cow itself is full of antiseptic and medical properties. The bull can be used to plow the land. These animals are truly wonders and worthy of all respect and care. How can anyone claim to be religious or human or intelligent or loving when you feed off the flesh of these poor creatures who are violently slaughted every day. I tell you it is truly the same sin as killing your mother. And all atheists and theists can agree that one should not kill his mother.

I've seen it often, a Christian will say that religion is wrong, and claim they are not a part of a religion, and what they have is a personal relationship with Christ.

These Christians, who don't belong to the Christian relgion, do they not worship Jesus every Sunday (or other days of the week) at a church with other members who have the same set of beliefs?

I mean people here literally live on edge, and are the biggest hyper-active, coffee drinking messes that exist. They're predominantly negative, and everything is so serious and fast-paced.

Is there a reason for this? Also, is this generally known for being the most busy area in the country?

I just think it's ridiculous. I don't think life should be led, with the attitude of "We're all gonna die tomorrow, let's go out there and be rude a**holes."

That's how it mostly is.

I don't want to hear arguments PRO this, the bottom line is, living here is far from a class act, and it's sad. People should be proud of their neighborhoods and highways and treat each other well, but what you see is, hate, crime, road rage, and all the negatives.

Fine, if people want to be treated like rat poop, I guess move to this area. lol.

I find this article interesting (below), with perhaps the most interesting line including the words "none of the actual Apostles thought that they themselves were establishing a "church" in our sense, independent of Judaism." Is this common thinking among Catholics, or Christians in general? I am also impressed with the lines "Pope Benedict is attempting to restore, by fiat, the first naiveté of "one true church." In an age of global pluralism, this is simply not tenable." What do you think?
