The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. 6 The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. 7 So the LORD said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them."

Hello!

I have been learning Japanese throughout the year. On the website I had been learning from, it said that is pronounced "Dess". Though however, in some of the subbed anime I've watched, they pronounced it "Desu" (Dess oo) on some occasions. I've also switched programs, and they use both "Dess" and "Desu" on different occasions.

So... is only one of these right? Are both acceptable? If not... which do I use? Thank you in advance for any information!

So if your morals come from society or your parents. What if you find out that your society is corrupt. In several times in history what a society deems as correct, can be viewed from the outside as wrong. Yet for that one particular society, these things are acceptable, morally right.

As for parents, what if to you and others your family is the nice moral family. Yet you are unaware that to some they may lead an immoral life. They are only moral, because you are raised to think they are moral. Some people, for example think that drug dealing is morally right. In fact people in an entire community will also believe this to be true.

So my question is, how do you know that the morals that you are raised with are actually moral? Why is your idea of morality more moral than another?

Among these 10 one of the major yoga is Raja Yoga.

Withing Raja Yoga is Hata Yoga which is commonly called as yoga in today's world.

I want someone to list down all the 10 major yogas in order.

Also explain the meaning of Yoga.

Not all old people are cranky, and complaining all the time, but some are. I wonder why ? I do know some very sweet elderly people by the way..before you start attacking.

Misunderstanding the literary meaning of the verses leads division of people. Why don’t we understand the Quintessence or essence of them?

If you do so, you will realize all are one and the same. We are seperating the people with it

I don't mean with your own friends and faily, i jsut mean in social situations with strangers. You know the sort, even when the cinema is empty they choose to sit in the row in front of you. I always sit as far away from others as possible, but some people just seem to crave being part of the group.

The Washington State Constitution, under the Declaration of Rights, Article 1, Section 7: "INVASION OF PRIVATE AFFAIRS OR HOME PROHIBITED. No person shall be disturbed in his private affairs, or his home invaded, without authority of law."

It would be logical to assume that most (if not all) states have a similar (if not identical) right listed in their own Constitutions; in a nutshell, a legal "Right to Privacy".

So, how do you justify coming onto a person's property every Sunday (and sometimes weekdays), pounding on their front doors (and generally disturbing their peace), and shoving your own personal religious beliefs down their throats???

As an agnostic, I do have beliefs and theories; but you will NEVER find me imposing them onto other people -- because I know that each and every person on this planet has every right to their own beliefs, FREE from the condemnation by others.

I'm NOT looking for attacks here; I'm just curious...

Curious what people think.

you hear different definitions of different religions. they say that it means a certain thing, or that certain things are what define someone to be in that group or not.

for example, I have heard some argue that figures that died long before islam came to be, were "muslim" on the definition that their devotion to God makes it so they qualify. this has a certain point to it I think.

and some say that a christian is someone who follows and tries to be like Jesus.

if I do my best to follow God's Will, and worship only God, does that mean I count as a Muslim?

if I think that Jesus probably had alot of good things to say, and would have liked to be able to listen to him and discuss things and learn from him, and follow his lead as a role model, would I count as a Christian?

and what does it say about these definitions, that one could fulfill both, without beliving in much of what the general population of either group, belives in?

Actually the answer is very simple.

You do anything in life.

The one which brings you closer to god then it is right (good)
The one which takes you away from god is wrong (bad)

How do you know ….

God is there is within you and me. We name it as Undher Athma, inner self or conscious. It tells you all the time what is right or wrong.

Most of the time we don’t listen to it
Most of the time we hear it but neglect it
Some times we go against it, as we cannot control our desires

Can we listen to our inner self and change from today. Trust me we do that we can be great individuals.

That the Catholic church killed Galileo? And that his sentence to house arrest had to do with theories that the earth isn't flat?

I just read that in an answer...are there really people who believe that? And if you're one of those people, where did you read/hear that?

Just curious. Not trying to be disrespectful.

I gained a lot of weight with my pregnancy. I had an eating disorder for 11 years, and although I had gestational diabetes while I was pregnant and had to maintain a very strict and healthy diet, they weight just PILED on. FAST. I weighed about 130 when my husband and I were married, and now I'm much heavier. Everyone says I'm still pretty, but I think they're just being nice.. Please look at all the pics (I promise they are safe, I'm linking from my photobucket acct.) and tell me the truth. Does my husband ignore me and refuse to touch me because I'm completely disgusting now?

I have a friend who is black and her tastes veer towards ballet and opera, K.D. Laing and Sting. She likes intelligent, kind people--whether they are black or white, and doesn't care for hostile, belligerent people whether they are black or white. She wonders how anyone who calls him/herself a Christian can allow race to enter the equation. Her (biological) brothers think she is cool, but her (biological) sisters torment her because of her tastes and views, and call her stupid, ugly, and every other demeaning name in the book. What's wrong with them? Could it be partly the "Cinderella" scenario, since she is very pretty, and her sisters aren't, and they're just jealous?
