Society & Culture - 30 October 2007

Many atheists, including me, have stated that they never felt this "presence of God" you speak of. I have never felt different when I walked into a church, or when I prayed, or whatever. I am a good person, however, as most of you (hopefully) know. So why don't we experience him? What is your explanation for why we don't get that feeling of knowing he is real and he hears us?

I can't seem to find the right words to explain why I think the way I think regarding religion without making my fiance feel as though I am telling him his way is all wrong. I don't mean to suggest that but how else do you really explain atheism? lol

Through prayer, and faith in Jesus my cousin was able to overcome his homosexuality. What kind of medicines are out there to treat homosexuality?

or both?

Bible-fundies seem to have equal abhorrence to both the Catholic Church and science.

come to think of it, seems like they have extreme abhorrence to ALL things that don't agree with them!

hmmm.....

When I show respect for a boss or an instructor, I am considered one of the following:

1) Brown noser or butt kissing
2) Goody two shoes

Why is showing respect to higher authority such a CRIME?!

Whether or not it's true, do you think it's reasonable to require physical or demonstrable evidence of God? And rational to think such evidence has not been found?

Religiously speaking, of course.

I'm just asking a simple question and I'm not offensive. Do give me an answer; It's either African, Asian or Blond. Do not say "It depends" or "All are pretty." Just give me *an* answer will do good. Thanks! =)

Mine is Psalm 56:13
For Thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not Thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the Light of the Living....................................................:):)

The bible forbids:

Divination
Consulting the dead for use with divination
Consulting with other spirits and demons for use with divination
Echanting others to influence their actions
Using drugs on others to influence their actions

Act in a way that would diminish the image of God in you. That is lying, murdering, etc.

Yahweh demands that you worship no other god or goddess but him.

So outside of this, why couldn't someone be able to follow:

Buddhism (mostly believe that Buddha is not a god)
We bear the image of God within us so this is not far off to say we contain divinity within us.

Pagan philosophy (as long as you don't do the above)

Taoism (the way is a generic word for god but names no god other than a creator)

etc.

Witch was a word they used in the bible as a blanket word for different things, the same as the word hell. Both stem from old ideas and superstitions.

So what do you think?

A good and standard tip is no longer 15% it is 20%
Gratuity is to make sure the waiter gets tipped fairly...not to punish you.

Waiters wait on 7-10 tables at one time...so be patient ...especially if you are a 15% person.

I personallly never leave a tip under $5. Thats just bad business.

And if you are kind to thenthey will be kind to you.

you are there guest and like any bad guest...you will be asked to not come back via bad service.
