I am a very open minded person that is always seeking knowledge and listening to what other have to say. I just crossed a religious question that was just bashed by people are I guess anti religion or what ever you want to call it. You know for a while I was so ashamed that some fellow Christians are such judgmental close minded people with no mercy or respect for others. However now I see these people that go around bashing on people that believe in God or a God. It’s like we have all lost respect for each other. The non believers out there calling us religious freaks are just as bad as the Religious people bashing on non believers. It wrong on both ends… We should have respect for what others believe in whether it be God, Santa Clause or Buddha!! It’s your choice!! You do what you gotta do!! That is all I have to say about this… Peace out!

example in a dispute between A and B, A will not do what B says purely on B's authority, so B invokes "the Word of God", and A complies with the wishes of B. If so, is abusing this power not something which would possibly be a driver in authoring religious doctrines, and have doctrines therefore been written which serve the authors purpose or match their personal opinion?

I know that female circumcision is more a cultural thing rather than religious and that male circumcision is more associated with religion, mostly Judaism but Ive heard it is also sometimes done in Islam and Christianity.

My question is why is there such out lash against the female one and not the male one?
I know that the female ones are usually done without consent but so are the males ones. The females ones usually arent dont in proper medical settings but if they were like the males ones, would they be accepted?
And I know there can be sever physical medical problems arising from female circumcision but that can also happen with the males i.e. taking off too much foreskin.

I am not trying to be rude or anything; I am actually against both of them but I am simply curious as to the reasons why they are differently treated.

I want to serve God the way the bible says that I should. But I do not see my life going anywhere or producing ANY results (or as the bible calls it, fruit) I wrestle with all sorts of things, and am always falling down in my spiritual battles. I want to hear his voice, feel his presence; but I often feel alone instead of feeling either of the two I mentioned

I really liked the idea scooter or someone had about ending the violation nuisance by meeting under a different setting. I don't care for a chat environment of that sort, but the idea dawned on me there might be a place for something similar where seniors might really get some help learning things they want or need to know.

For instance, if someone formed a Yahoo Seniors Group for each of us to tutor others I'd be happy to do it for MS Excel, MS Access, Adobe Photoshop, PaintShop Pro, or any other software I know how to use. And maybe someone knows them better than I do, giving me an opportunity to learn something.

But the same might apply to a lot of other avenues.

We're all experts on something, and we're all dunces on other things we might need badly that someone else knows.

Does this sound useful or doable to any of you?

what can I do???? This Christmas I didn't ask for an i pod or a mp3 or the latest pair of baby phat jeans....no this year I decided to think what I could do for my family??? How could I make Christmas special as it should be ...why because it is Christ's Birthday of course and a time to celebrate life and love and togetherness. So I made a dinner a feast of delights...Why though is it that we forget the true meaning of Christmas and rush to the stores to find out what toy timmy wants or what dress sally has to have. What does Christmas mean to you?

It has been learned that, although piercings and tattoos are not condemned by Jehovah's Witnesses... if one should get one, they lose their congregational privledges for a time... is this true? If so, does this only apply to tattoos and piercings that are visible? If a married sister chose to get a belly piercing, would this still apply even if her piercing is kept private and hidden, while not stumbling others in the congregation? (I am not looking for different opinions on piercings, for I am aware that there are many. I am only looking for answers to these questions above.)

I know this has been asked but I think it is interesting to see how many different images we all have of "God".


One more question, Do you believe in the Mother God, Azna?




For atheists, if you ever believed in a deity, how did you picture him/her?
