Society & Culture - 10 December 2007

De nacht verkleurd weer in de dag
Je bent nu veel te ver bij mij vandaan
Nog steeds zoek ik naar je lieve lach
De zomer is voorbij maar ik weet dat wij ooit weer eens samen zijn

Omdat ik jou niet missen kan
Zonder jou ben ik geen man
'T is te mooi om te vergeten
Wat ons overkwam

Uit het niets kwam jij bij mij
Het voelde heerlijk toen je zei
Dat al mijn dromen uit gaan komen
Ik kom terug

Geloof in alles wat ik zei
Nog eventjes dan ben ik weer bij jou
Beloof me te wachten tot die tijd
Vertrouw nu maar op mij wat we voelen dat brengt ons steeds dichterbij

Niemand heeft me kunnen geven wat ik wou
Dat ik je zomaar heb gevonden ik kom gauw

Thank you so much. :)

For example, I would say that "In the Ghetto" and "Kentucky Rain" are vastly underrated, while "Hound Dog" is way too lame to have been a hit in the first place.

Thanks all!

Do you think you arrived at your position because you are a free-thinker who rationally weighed the evidence, and then freely chose atheism over theism?
I can accept that, even if I don't agree with you.

BUT...you also believe that your thinking and actions are nothing more than the FIXED reactions of the atoms in your brain that are governed by the Laws of Chemistry and Physics.

Where is the "logic and reason" in this stance?

If he's just going to shun then and be discriminatory to them within the Bible?

It's like having black hair - you're born with it and even if you dye it another colour, the original hair colour grows through eventually...

Would God also hate people who couldn't change an aspect of their individuality?

Homosexuality is not a choice.

It's largely due to genetics and/or environmental factors such as childhood experiences (though this has been observed, environmental factors cannot be a proven cause).

So why would God create something he would hate (the act, anyway)?

I can assume only ONE of three things from this, either:

- God is arrogant, tyrancial and discriminatory
- The Bible is not the true words of God
- God does not exist and is just made up

And don't tell me the act is a choice either. From what I've heard they are just like ourselves - and I think it's really disrespectful to think they have to endure celibacy when all the rest of us have freedom and choice.

There was someone here quoting from a part in the Old Testament where it said it was okay to sell your daughter into slavery.

Hello?

That was a different time. When Jesus came, He changed everything.

Yes, it USED to be okay to do that, but God had different rules because you cannot compare this day to the past. Homosexuals also had to be killed according to God's law, but this was done in unpainful way. Gays would be given alcohol (ONLY gays who were Jewish AND were caught in the act) and once they were numb, they would be pushed off a cliff. This hardly ever happened and the law was clear about the consequences, so there was no excuse.

When Jesus came, he changed the laws of the Old Testament, so the death penalty for gays and working on the sabbath, etc. were no longer necessary.

God could not change the laws BEFORE that period because Jesus hadn't come yet.

Christians were taught not to kill, but now the head of the church is happy that someone else took to killing for them. Wow, how hypocritical. What do you think? Would the killings at Christian centers not be part of "God's plan", and how dare anyone get in the way of that. I am not trying to take away from the murders that happened, but just very hypocritical of those Christians.

What I'm asking here is couldn't athesim be considered a philosphy? Maybe it could be a relegion but its not really since it doesn't support worshiping anything...so do you say its a philsopy? I mean they live their everyday life by it, base a lot of what they view the world as on it. So is it a philosphy or could it be a relgion?

Alhamdulillah, I have a very good Muslim as one of my roommates, and we sometimes pray together (we have varying schedules at university, so we can't do it all the time).

However, when he leads in prayer, he takes very long pauses and generally takes his time (a lot more than normal). I do not rush prayer myself, but the amount of time he takes is just exceptional.

I've found myself lately telling him that I've already prayed (when I have not) when he asks because of the stressful exam period that we're in. What are your opinions on this?

Do Catholics use the same Bible as Christians do?
Don't they believe basically the same things?
I'm going to be visiting a Catholic friend, so if you could fill me in on the basics, I'd appreciate it. I know a little about Catholicism, but I'm Christian.

Thank you very much! Have a great Christmas, everyone!

My co-worker is a Jehovah's Witness who doesn't celebrate birthdays. Wouldn't it be fun if I organize a surprise birthday party at work and invite other co-workers and big bosses? Aren't you curious to what her reaction would be? Will she be like "oh I don't celebrate birthdays, all of you get out of my face!" or will she turn her back to her beliefs in order to satisfy the efforts of the party organizers and her guests? If you are a Jehovah's witness, what do you think? and what will you do given that situation? Just curious?
