Society & Culture - 5 December 2007

My husband and I own a cell phone store, we store all of our phones in jewelry display cases with locks in the back. There have been several times where a phone would be moved out of place and we would have to fix it. We always assumed it was one or the other person that would move it so would just fix it. We recently remodeled our store and I fixed up the display cases, and made sure everything was lined up nice and neat. We left for the night and returned in the morning and the phone and the plastic display holder was completly turned around. Just that one specific phone! Thats when we realized that neither one of us has touched or moved it. I checked the phone and it was off. I turned it back into place and kept a close eye on it all day, nothing else happened. So again this morning it is flipped the opposite way, and again the phone is off. I'm not really a believer of ghost, but what is going on here? Nobody else has access to our store and the jewelry cases are locked?

open up such big cans of worms on yahoo answers? People asking questions about the Middle East and religion, I mean, what is the point? We have all heard it before, and you know you are going to get some hateful answers, so why bother?

How can one be a "Mary" rather than a "Martha" when stuck in this rat race of a world? Furthermore how can one even keep a hold on what the means?

If you are against Christians attempting to legislate what they believe in, what exactly are you for?

Don't Christians have the right to try to have laws made to reflect what they believe? I'm sure most of you that would say homosexuals have that right...but at the same time when Christians do the same, they are somehow forcing their beliefs on you.

Lets look at abortion...one group believes it is murder and one does not. It just so happens that the one group is mostly Christians. Why is it wrong for them to try to stop what they think is wrong, but it is ok for others to try to promote what they think is right?

This is supposedly a free country, but it seems that ahteists would like to prohibit Christians from being free to legislate what they think is right. When the opposite side is trying to do the exact same thing, legislate what they think is right.

So where is the conflict here? And by not wanting Christians to legislate their beliefs,are you against freedom?

My sister has a houseful of kids...is it ok to just send them all money instead of trying to shop for them? I was thinking $50 each. Is that enough? Maybe $100 each?

Because so many christians have told me "god is real".
Reality is testable and quanifiable. Yet when asked for evidence that can be tested, said christian always reverts to the old cop out of "but you have to have faith!".
Not only is that worn and pathetic, but proves conclusively that they have NO evidence to support the existence of thier magic sky pixie.
So, please, unless you're willing to provide ONE single shred of credible (remember that word, it's important) evidence to support the existence of your imaginary friend, I suggest you stop referring to it as "real".

if god doesn't listen to you pray for your loved on, why will he listen to random cartoon heads on YA who don't even know your loved one?

According to the God Delusion or a small part of it. Morality has an evolutionary explanation Altruistic genes selected through evolution give rise to natural feeling of empathy. Ok if our genes determine whether or not we help people or not as well as other things about us. Do we still have free will?

And if you look at the psychological arguments of nature vs nuture both of these two are out of our control yet they will definitely play key roles in shaping who we are. So do we have complete free will or moderate amounts of free will or is free will just illusion?

Does it not seem rather silly to you that someone can hate something they don't believe in?

Here's one from me:
Do you watch your local news in the evening? At the end the weatherman comes out with whatever hideous tie he slapped on this morning. Then he tells you what the weather was like today. At the end of the day. Why do they do this? I was there, man. And then he tells us what the weather was like on this day last year. Who the ferk cares?!? Yarg!

Okay, your turn...get it off your chest.

For my college freshman science course, we were supposed to do a science project that demonstrated the scientific method.
I used mine to prove the power of prayer. I had two sets of lima bean plants. The first set I prayed for every day and every night, and set them out in the sunlight of God. In order to safeguard the results from any sort of bias, the second set was my control group. I did not pray for them, and kept them 'in the closet', in the dark of sin. The plants I prayed for turned out much greener and healthier, which confirmed my hypothesis.

My professor gave me a D on this, and asked me to turn another project in for a better grade. How is this fair? Isn't it discriminatory and biased to disregard results that don't coincide with your own personal beliefs?
