Society & Culture - 11 November 2007

What we worship as God in this earth doesn't seem to be proven and each religion has its own misconcepts. Our creator is unidentifiable, needs no praising, needs no money, needs no prayers and IS TOO FAR. As for as my knowledge is concerned, whatever is happening in our lives is determined and no one can erase, touch or change HIS design.

You have died and had passed through the pearly gates of heaven. You have spent time with and are all caught up with loved ones who passed before you. Now you are alone to explore, contemplate ask question etc. All options are available to you. What do you do now?

If so, were you given a message? and did that message end up being correct?. It happend to me back in 1998 and to this day I will never ever forget it. My message ended up being correct. So yes I believe in a higher being or force out there.

P.S. No I wasn't on drugs or drunk at the time.

As much as i would like to think so, i dont think it will ever end.

Aside from peoples personal beliefs and ideas, what about groups like the NAACP (just as and example, not picking out). Seems like as long as there are groups aimed towards specific ethnicities, its not going to end. Not to say that is the reason it exists but does it help the problem?
Even tests in schools where you have to tell them your race. . i dont get it . . it shouldnt matter especially in schools . . i'm half "white" and asian . . but i'm required to say that i am asian when asked . . and as bad as sad as this is, i know nothing about my asain culture or background . . but i still have to say i'm asain.

Its one of those age old questions that will probably be around for ages to come. What are your thoughts?

Were Kangaroos ever used as beast of burden. Did Jesus have a pet Kangaroo? Did Noah have Kangaroos on the Ark? If so how did they get to Australia. And what about those other strange animals like the platypus? Did Australia just make that up?

I cannot figure out Christianity or how to deal with it. I am not a Christian but I used to be. I understand it from the inside out because I used to be one. What I do understand is the doctrine and the stuff you're supposed to believe.
What I don't understand is how to deal with Christians. It makes me not want to get out of the bed in the morning knowing that Christianity exists and there are Christians. I don't like being demonized for being a non-Christian. I don't like dealing with Christians and their holier than thou attitude. I can't stand their hypocrisy and double standards. They are horrible. I can't believe how much of a difference a label can make in society. I'm not even a bad person. I just don't want to live anymore because of Christianity. I don't know who to talk to about this. I am sure as hell not talking to a priest. I wish I knew a social psychologist who could answer all my questions. I am not interested in hearing bible verses, I just need answers.

We all push our agendas esp in a democracy. (yes I know we are a representative republic)

There are plenty of atheist special interest groups pushing their agendas on politicians and esp on the courts and that is perfectly acceptable, but if a christian group dares do it then its violating the Constitution and those Christians are pushy, intolerant and closeminded.

What is the difference? Both sides are trying to sway the general population and the politicians to make the country more like how they want it to be. Why is it ok for an atheist to do this, but not ok for a christian to do this? What is the difference?


This question got me thinking of this
Now I may not understand why churches are pushing this issue, but how are they any more intolerant than the atheists in here that proclaim we should abolish all religion and kick any religious symbols out of US?

A tip is something given for great service, when the waiter/waitress goes above the standards to make you feel welcome. Bad service (should) get no tips.

But what about average service? Should a waiter who does a standard job but does nothing extra to make you feel welcomed get a tip? Does simply taking your order then giving you your food deserve a tip? Alot of places the waiter doesn't even bring you your food, someone else does.

So I'm just wondering what others think. If someone immigrates to America, do you think that it is only right that they should learn and speak English?

Of course, do not lose your cultural background, but I think that they should.

Don't call me a racist.
Don't call a bigot.
Don't call me prejudice.
It's just an asking for opinions, so calm down.

Thanks for reading! :))))

In a town in Illinois, there is a witch school that has opened up. Now this pagan school is from what I understand mostly an online thing, but many of the residents in the area seem to object to their mere being in the town. Half of the churches are actively outspoken against their being there, and one pastor is even quoted saying that they are in the midst of "spiritual warfare."


Is anyone else sickened by the level of intolerance that is in this country? Christians, how do you feel about your brother's ignorance and bigotry against any and all who don't believe exactly as they do?

Open minded people of all religions (or lack of) answers are welcome. If you think that witchcraft is equivalent to satanism please better use your time to look up wicca instead of answering this question as you will not earn 10 points for this.

Does anyone ever think that the norms about sex in America are abnormal. If you study cultures you will note that in many other countries it is normal for people to marry and start families as young as 13 years old. Is it wrong for teenagers to want to have sex when their bodies are ready for sex (ie. they can physically produce children) when they are about 13 years old but their society is telling them to wait for another 5 years? Do you think other countries are too lenient about sex?

Just thinking about it, and I am 18 years old, not 13, just in case you were thinking I was.

I received a violation notice today, only the third I have ever had since my time here began, but I am at a loss as to know what guidelines I broke. Could someone please help me out.
Here are the details:

Question: For All Religions and Beliefs Even Atheists Agnostics Wicca ETC?

Question Details: Does it really matter if you believe the world came from nothing caused by nothing or God caused it. Does it matter if you do chants, spells, rituals and all these meditations and all these horoscopes. Does it matter what denomination you call yourself or what classes in theology or science you took. Or does it matter what you do in life? Do you help the needy? The poor? The sick? The disabled? Do you help africans? Do you help those people who can't even grow their food anymore? Do you help those people who are homeless? Do you help those people who are suffering? I MEAN COME ON! Can't you stop wasting your time with these piece of crap arguements about who is right and who is wrong? Can't you stop wasting Good money on these piece of crap rituals and chanting and materials needed? And can you stop wasting money on building bigger "church" buildings. Can you stop arguing with people who believe in something just because you feel guilty about not helping anyone but yourself??

Deleted Answer: do you feel better now? (((((there, there)))))
