Society & Culture - 18 December 2007

What is known:
Christians claim; all sins are equal, this is fact
We also know from Christians that we should obey the word of God lest we be subject eternal torture and denied entrance upon God's mighty thrown

What is also known:
Deuteronomy 21:18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, "This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard." 21 Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.


What we can conclude:
not stoning your children to death for rebellion is disobedience and sin against God

My suggestions:
I suggest you rethink your morals, and the next time your kids are rebellious, take them to your oldest Church members and have them slaughtered like impure and wicked humans they are, for the glory of god – If you don't do this then you are no better than your son, and a hypocrite


This is of course a better solution than the wickedness in todays society, where parents only ground their kids, whoop them or have them learn from their own mistakes
of course, what the hell are we thinking turning our backs on god like this, he was right all along

If someone chronically smells bad, is this an automatic deal-breaker? Or will you hang out with them anyway, if you like them in all other respects?

Christians are more than happy to explain every little detail of Christianity, and it always makes sense. But ask a logical question, that isn't an attack, of an evolutionist and they go on the defensive right away, make no attempt to explain their religion and always say something like "you obviously have no idea what you're talking about, go away. Go read a book about it."

Now just sit back, and watch them prove my point. This is not an attack, simply a request for an explaination. But all we are going to get is defense, insults, and no real substance. Does it suck being a hypocrite when you call someone clueless?

She has insisted that I do not buy her a gift, but I wanted to make her something- whether it be a pillow, brownies or picture frame or something just so she knows that I'm thinking about her. Any suggestions?

273. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Treat women well. Woman was created from a rib. The most crooked part of the rib is the top part. If you try to straighten it, you will break it. If you leave it, it remains crooked. So treat women well." [Agreed upon]

In a variant in the two Sahih collections, "A woman is like a rib. If you straighten it, you break it. If you wish to benefit from her, you can benefit from her in spite of her crookedness."

In a variant in Muslim, "Woman was created from a rib, and you will never find any means to straighten her. If you wish to benefit from her, you can benefit from her in spite of her crookedness. If you try to straighten her, you will break her, and breaking her means divorcing her."

The first Amendment clearly states the separation church and state; which states that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…

If Huckabee is elected President; he being a Baptist minister any laws created will carry the under tones of his religious beliefs, essentially affect the chance of a clear non partisan objective.

What’s your opinion, Should Congress Prosecute him or Pardon him?

Since I have attended college I have been able to mature a lot. I used to be in drug treatment and now that I am out I have been "finding myself." I have always been outgoing and bubbly, but I don't have a "goth" look now and dress a lot nicer and keep myself clean and neat. I am afraid some people are going to think I am being a snob when I am not trying to

Okay i am just wondering these just questions:

Why if so many people beleive that jesus is holy do they not read a good biblical book? Yes Jesus was a good person who did great stuff but it is documented that constantine (the great) with the help of the nicean council wrote the bible? I am a christian myself but yet i know the origin of my belief.

Also:
how do people not realise that the egyptiaen religion and christianity merged? Like SUNday? or what about Halo's?

I knw these are wide questions but if anyone could further this debate it would be helpful.

Commandment #5 says to honor your mom and dad. What if your mother and father wanted you to follow a religion other than Christianity? If you obeyed their wishes, you would be damned for not accepting Jesus as your savior. If you disobeyed them, you would be damned for breaking one of the main rules. So, what would be the right thing to do?

Tommorow, if you could snap your fingers, and make every single resident of America, a devout god-fearing christian, not a single person took drugs, all homosexuals magically disappeared, schools only taught Creationism, no music with offensive lyrics existed, nobody dressed in a gothic or punk rock or hip hop style of fashion, and nobody ever divorced....would you snap your fingers?

In other words, would you prefer to live in a flawless Christian utopian society, or do you prefer the current diversity of America, where there are a variety of beleifs, behaviors, styles of dress, music, values etc?

Simply put, would you prefer America was as sterile and innoculated against "sins" that the whole country lived in a "Leave It To Beaver" type of culture, or do you find the true beauty of America, the fact that there are so many variations on lifestyle, belief, and behavior?

I had a young girl who looked to be around 9 or so, acting like a complete B**** to some random people in the super market. The yelling at the cashier to "bag her stuff NOW!" While her mother stood there with a stupid half grin on her face.

I know times change and kids grow up with different things and act much different from way back when. But it seems more and more kids from that age group are more brazen than ever. Mouthing off obscenities and curses to people everywhere.

Notice that too?

(please state your age, with your comment) I am 21

For Christians its easy. God came walked the earth because we aren't holy enough to enter. When he posted himself on the cross (for committing no crime by the way) he took on the sins of the world. All those who believe that God came down from heaven to save us and accepts him are saved. But I think Muslims have a different story. Also, no religion can save you. God did not create religion man created religion so to say that By our religion you are saved that is completely false. God loves all his people there is no religion from heaven. It is relationship.

Why are their "Purity Balls" where girls pledge their virginity to their fathers? Why isn't it boys pledging their virginity to their mothers? Why do girls always wear the chastity rings? Why are boys practically expected to have sex while if girls do it makes her a slut?
