Society & Culture - 25 November 2007

I'm not a native English speaker who goes to a Panel (discussion) class for improvement and I have to suggest a topic for our discussion (in a Yahoo Group), now I want my topic to be corrected (Grammatically, Words, etc.) Also if possible could you add your new idea to my topic - which is about criticising others on their religion - to make it perfect.


Here is my topic:

As you know there are some people around us living with a different religion or belief from what you already have, but when you hear some one says; I'm a Jewish, Christian, Atheist, etc. you will suddenly say "Really? How! Let me explain something to you...!", by saying that you're just oppressing them for no reason.

My question is, why are we always not respecting a different religion or belief as a personal aspect of somebody and tend to criticize or correct their idea, and if they come not to accept it you will call him/her a religious bigot! And that's how racism raised up!

Don't you think that you are a victim - just as they are - of the lies and falsehoods!



THANK YOU VERY MUCH...

Why do Christians believe in Christianity?

Is it because they were born in a Christian family?
Is it because some convincing Christian messenger converted their weak minds?
Is it because they were in deep trouble and tried to pray to God and the prayer was answered? (Not realizing that the prayer did not change the outcome; meaning despite not praying the problem would have been solved anyway)
Is it because Christianity got the most threatening penalty and glorious reward?

More or less those are the reasons.

If you were born in an era where all Bibles and churhes were demolished and no Christian was left on earth and a new dominating religion was establised "Gristianity" with "Gesus" as your new saviour having very different teachings from the Bible is it not true that you people would go around praising the religion and feel so faithful and claim the feelings of being touched by "Gresus"?

Believing something to be true deludes ones mind to concieve everything according.

You say Almighty God doesn't exist, but i have a question for you as i'm trying to figure out why?

Ok, here is my question and in your case a hypothetical...

An angel from heaven visited you with a message from the christian God. God has given you the opportunity to see him face to face, all you had to do was agree to it.
Would you agree knowing after seeing God's face your life will never be the same again. You had a chance to see for yourself God and with him all the secrets of the universe.

Would you front God Almighty?

Or, would you decline the invitation because you prefer the life you live now?

I'm curious that's all! Please don't be snide about this question.
Thank you

I am not anti-Christianity, but somehow over the years I have not been able to develop my faith in it. I can't bring myself from thinking all religions are man made. I do go with him to the Church on occasions, but he knows deep down that at the end of the day I am an athiest and he doesn't refrain from showing his disgust about it. I am a good person, stay happy, and try my best to keep everyone happy and healthy. Can anyone tell me if his anger is right? Am a bad human being, a bad person if I don't follow what my husband follows?

Ex-Apostles' Creed

I don't believe in God, allegedly the Father almighty, allegedly creator of heaven and earth. Nor in Jesus Christ, allegedly his only Son, allegedly our Lord, who was allegedly conceived by the alleged Holy Spirit, allegedly born of the alleged Virgin Mary, allegedly suffered under Pontius Pilate, was allegedly crucified, died, and buried. He then allegedly descended into hell, and the third day he allegedly rose from the dead. He then allegedly ascended into heaven, and is allegedly seated at the right hand of the alleged Father, from whence allegedly he shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I don't believe in the Holy Spirit, or that the Catholic church is holy, nor do I believe in the communion of saints, nor sins and the forgiveness of alleged sins, nor the resurrection of the body, nor life everlasting.

Ever since I moved here in July, the upstairs neighbors have done nothing but keep them selves busy with my personal life. They are the cousin to my close friend, who is a gay male. i am a married female. They have spread rumors of us having sex, me having sex with men other than my husband, who often works out of town. He is home now, and they dont like him either. He has a loud voice, the kind that sounds like he is yelling , but he is not. The last bit of gossip came from their children, who talk with our kids. They are not allowed to play with them,because they tell my kids all the gossip the parents conjure up. Well,now they have talked about calling authorities because they think my husband is abussive. We have never laid a hand on our kids ever! Because of his loud voice, they think he is always yelling at them. The woman sits outside my door in the hall, hears bits and pieces of talk, makes up a juicy story out of it,of which always comes back to me. How do I deal with this?

Or if the nature of evil men is evil, why would God ask them to fight it? Isn't it cruel? The best question of all, why put them in the same place as those who aren't?

If I had a basket and I were to fill that basket, why on earth would I place rotten apples with good apples? The logic behind God's ways are and will always be illogical.

I am a 20 old kenyan male uniersity student. I do commerce and in my first semester. I cannot study and now I think I have to drop out and commit suicide. Being queer is hard here. It should not disturb me but it is, I don't know why. I have tried to commit suicide before by drugging myself and putting a charcoal burner in my room(you die in your sleep) but the room was too big to die.We are poor and my only solution may be to study abroad. If someone knows a good way for suicide tell me if you cannot help.
