Society & Culture - 30 November 2007

I'm boycotting toys this year due to all of the recent recalls and I'd like some ideas of what to stuff my daughter's stocking with. I stuffed it this morning with the following and I still have room:

Three Sesame Street ornaments
Jr. Slinky (made in the USA)
Stickers
Underwear (potty training is hopefully just around the corner)
M&M Candy Cane
Backyardigans Band-Aids
Toddler toothbrush
Toddler training paste

Any other ideas?? She's getting mostly books under the tree flash, cards, clothes, as well as a few games, so I don't want to put books into her stocking. Thanks!

His Word and His creation is all the proof you are going to get.
The proof you want will be when it is TOO late.
What are you waiting for?

What do you think? Everywhere I go there's something about sports and athletics. On Disney Channel, they air these commercials about getting out and play, and so does Nickelodeon, but no one ever talks about education or learning. Should we put more emphasis on education and knowledge for our future generations?

Today, December 1, is World AIDS Day. Did the true God prophesy this dreaded disease that is killing millions every year?

I would like to share with you a prophecy that was revealed by a holy spirit on October 19, 1979 and was published together with other 18 prophecies in the Philippine Panorama, the Sunday magazine supplement of Bulletin Today, a Philippine daily newspaper, on March 30, 1980.

The prophecy states: "A disease known as GOTACURAL will occur in epidemic proportions all over the land, and such disease will be incurable even by the known specialists of the medical profession."

What do you think? Is the disease in the prophecy AIDS? Is there any other disease since 1979 that fulfills the prophecy?

A short write-up about the prophecy can be found at

I was in line at the convenience store last night and a man in front told the child with him, "Put that milk (a pint carton) back, I ain't got no money to spend on junk like that." Then he proceeded to buy $10 worth of lottery tickets. I wanted so badly to call him on it but didn't have the nerve. As soon as I was back at home, I wished that I had either bought the milk for the child or read him the riot act. What would you have done?

In yoga philosophy and practice it is said that our bodies become more open so that we can be more in tune with God and the hum of the Universe which is Om (or Aum). Have you felt this in your life even if it isn't a yoga practice?

You would be insulted, right, because this is a Christian nation, or is it?

A minister, a priest and rabbi went in the woods; it was a hot a day. They came to river and decided to jump in to cool off. They got naked and jumped in, after they got out, a group of Boy scouts walked towards them. The three men couldn't reach for the clothes right away, so the Priest and the Minister covered their private parts while the Rabbi covered his face and they ran away, later the Priest and the Minister asked the Rabbi, why he had covered his face but not his privates, in which the Rabbi replied, "I don’t know about you guys, but in my congregation, people recognize my face"!

I mean we have to learn about everything from politics to how to cook .....(in school) shouldn't kids have to at least study the various religions and where they came from as part of history or something? Isn't it obvious this paranoia about not having Christian ANYTHING in school proves there must be something to it? Nobody is afraid of something that isn't real and this just reeks of fear. All the hysteria over how someone might HAVE to look at a Nativity on a lawn and SHUDDER they don't want to see it. Why are you afraid of something you don't believe in? It makes no sense! shouldn't you be more afraid of watcher shirts? Don't most criminals wear them?

Our Rabbi corrected me, but then I talked to another Rabbi and noticed he said it like I did. The dictionary says either way is correct. So how do YOU say it?

I have read some posts where some witnesses have use that verse to show Jesus is Michael the Archangel. I do not see anything in the verse that makes a connection between Jesus or Michael. Perhaps I am missing something

It's easy to ridicule the celebs, but I do have sympathy for them (and Brittney's new/ex driver for example) when the paparazzi completely surrounds their car and basically pins them in.

If it were me, I'd install a truck or diesel train horn, blast it 3 times as a warning, then gun the engine, and whoever got run over, that would be their problem. Of course, that would get me thrown in jail. But I don't think it should.

As long as paparazzi do their job from a distance without physically interfering with someone's ability to move about freely and live their life, I don't have any problem with that. That's the price of celebrity.

But when the get in people's faces and interfere with their lives physically, I think it falls under the same rule as feeling physically threatened by an intruder or being assaulted, and then you have the right to fight back by whatever means necessary, even if it causes the attacker/intruder injury, or even death.

What do you think?

My response to an earlier question regarding abortion:

"If Christians hate abortion so much, why do they continually block efforts at easier access to birth control and sexual education in schools?"

Was reported by another user who sent me the following email:

"We don't. This is a LIEberal misotheist lie.

Reported. "

Was my response really worthy of being reported because this guy (who doesn't allow emails so I couldn't even ask him about this) doesn't like my answer? Was my answer exuding a "misotheist" air?

Jesus said he is the only way to get to heaven. No person can come to God unless it's through him. Are you offended by his statements or do you agree?

I'm thinking the scene from Life of Brian where the guy has been condemned tobe stoned for sayin Jehovah. Realizing he has nothing to lose he starts dancing and singing Jehovah, Jehovah.

In our case how much respect and tolerance do we have to give hte Muslim world when every attempt to do so is rebuffed and a large portion wants our culture destroyed.

I seriously want to grab a teddy bear and dance around singing Mohammed, Mohammed and then hold up my copy of the Satanic verses. Then I will post it on Youtube along with videos of my wife driving somewhere or worse, showing her knees in public
