Society & Culture - 25 December 2007

Especially those who live in the US or UK, etc, where Christmas is starting to become more 'commercialized.' Where you'll see lights everywhere, or Christmas decors in the malls, and Christmas music playing on the radios.

Do you go along with it?
Or does it bug you at all?

Mary had other children, presumably after she had Jesus.

Was Joseph the father of all of these children.

Who were the children. We know of some of them. But were there also two sisters mentioned in the Bible?

And do we know the order of birth?

Do you ever get annoyed when you ask a question and don't make it blatantly obvious whether you believe in god or not, and then people from your own side of the debate call you out on it?

Like when atheists come and DRINK at my own questions...

First off let me state that I don't want to debate the existence of extraterrestrials. Whether you believe in them or not, simply for the sake of the question go with the assumption that they are real and they initiate contact with us.

Now going with that assumption do you feel we are ready? How would you react, what would you think? How do you think others would react and think? How do you think contact with aliens would effect our cultures, religions, economies, science, technology, etc? And let's also just go with the assumption that it was peaceful contact and not some war/invasion scenario. As I'm sure we can all agree would completely change everything.

how do you guys deal with the fact that when you are at the beach or the pool and your wife/fiance is clad in a bikini all the guys are eye humping them. How can you stand other men looking at your woman and debasing her to nothing but a piece of meat? what do you tell yourselves?

Most self-proclaimed Christians are going to be rejected by God. Others are going to be really ashamed of their unscriptural practices.

As a bible-believing Christian I was shamed when a group of people all began jabbering at once during a prayer. They turned everyone at the funeral off. How could the unsaved there take anything said about the Word of God seriously after such a foolish display?

I always feel like I have low confidence around people. I like the way I am and the way I look, but I just feel like I'm so shy and flustered in front of others and it looks so stupid as I am a grown woman. I should be witty and smart, not stuttering and flustered.

I know that Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) told us not to get angry. However, I have a big problem with anger. I get angry very fast and I get rude sometimes. I don't use 'strong' swear words but I say annoying things, like you are closed minded, you are stupid, annoying, retarded and I shout loudly. When I get angry at home, I hit my siblings. I can't control my anger. I used to take stress med but I stopped it because it gave me headaches. I don't know what to do with anger.

Any advice you can offer me?

Thank you

Salaam

the churchs all tell people that they can save them with their message. They all think they have the right answer? If you pick wrong are you lost? How do you know if you are one of the few? Can any of them give you a guarantee?

If there are endless multiple universes as posited by string theory and quantum mechanics, is there a heaven for each universe or do they all go to one heaven? If only one heaven, could you see other versions of yourself there? Aren't you at least guaranteed that you'll make it to heaven this way? Do you even care
