Society & Culture - 10 December 2007

Because, lets say, you were following a religion- it determines what is right and wrong. So then your conscience really has no meaning anymore, wouldn't you say?

For example, a person could be lovely but because they're homosexual- you drift away from them. Not listening so much to your conscience, just your religious "morals".

There's really no need to even think, it seems like.

Even though Bill and Hillary Clinton waved Bibles and went to Church, do you feel that it was all an act and that the Bill Clinton presidency was really an atheistic one?

In the wake of this recent murderous shooting spree at 2 religeous locations in Colorado, I have to wonder???? I'm very thankful for the woman security guard who was able to stop the shooter from killing anymore people. Atta girl!! God bless you sister! I'm mindfull of one of the things Jesus said "blessed are the peacemakers". She certainly was a peacemaker when she stopped the insane murder of innocent people. I'm also aware that Jesus said "turn the other cheek", and "he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword". I don't want anybody to think I'm criticizing the security woman. I think she did a wonderful job! I just would like to hear other people's thoughts on this issue, to help me digest what happened and put it into Spiritual perspective. This has become such an insane world when we need to have armed guards killing people at church to protect the worshippers.

Now, alot of people have different views on this, and thats why I want you to answer. Should people use the word Christmas or Holiday to describe this season? What do you use? Give a reason why!
Thanks.

Does anyone have any good reads to lift the spirits up of a good friend? Something uplifting, inspiring, moving, something hopeful to see the light? Not anything religious in particular, but just a feel-gooder, maybe humorous or comical?
I can't think of any except Tim Burton's Oyster Boy but not sure if that's really an appropriate choice for someone suffering severe depression so... much thanks for your advice!!!

I simply don't understand this passage at all.
I always thought that Jesus took everyone, whether poor, lame, crippled, etc.

This passage kind of defies everything I've ever understood.

When answering this question, ask if you've taken a good look at Islamic teachings.

I just don't really understand why people do it. Is it for decorations at a party? Is it a common craft for kids? Is it supposed to be a trick guys use at a bar to impress and "pick up" girls?

I don't get it. Why do people make paper flowers? If you've ever done it, what did you do it for?

As a child raised in a baptist home, we were in church each time the doors were open.
It was like our extended family. Went to some ones house for dinner on Sunday or someone was at ours.
The preachers wife stood at the rear door with the preacher as we left.
Visitors were codelled like children. Made to feel welcome by each member of the church. My husband and I have been church shopping and I have yet to find one that makes me feel the way I did then. The church we have attended for about 2 months is OK. I am disappointed in that it is the same. Only 2 ladies have gone out of their way to introduce themselves.
I chose not to participate in the ladies Christmas banquet, cause I feel so unwelcome.
I am expecting too much? Do I just accept this is the way it is and continue going? Am I being too picky?
Please Help!

what is your view of women who are raped or molested? Have you ever had a girlfriend who was raped or molested when she was little? Did you try to help her cope with it or did you leave her because you think she's "damaged goods"? Please be as honest as possible. Thank you!

I’m not trying to be funny or rude. But from what I know the definition of Christian means to be Christ-like? Am I wrong? So I was wondering, did Jesus do any "Hail Mary's"? I’m really trying to be more educated in the Catholic religion. Catholics say that their are Christians but yet the bible says that having false idols is wrong (the ten commandments). Wouldn’t that go against the word of God if your not being "Christ-like"? I’m not trying to come off as being judgmental...I just want to be more educated in the religion. I’m honestly trying to understand. It's really confusing me. I see it as a contradiction. 1 Timothy 2:5 declares, "For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." So how can you be so sure of what you are doing is correct if God’s word says what it says? Also, how do you know how many prayers to do and whom you are supposed to pray or ask to? Could you show me where in the bible is states that? Again, I am not trying to be vindictive. I’m trying to understand.

Thank you in advance.

Is there something special about the rosary, that works like a Ouija board? That's against the rules, and so is conjurring spirits of the dead. Or, is it conjurring, only when Mary actually speaks back?
