Religion & Spirituality - 13 September 2006

Hi,

I'm a sociology student at the University of Tasmania (Australia) and am trying to find people who have been to raves (anywhere in the world) and have experienced any form of spiritual enlightenment / healing / development.

I would also appreciate the comments of anyone who has been to a rave and believed it to be just mindless escapism.

Any comments would be great.

Have you been to a rave and gained nothing from it?
Have you been to a rave and experienced self enlightenment?

If you did experience self enlightenment, did you use Ecstacy, or other drugs to achieve it, or was it a result of an absorbtion into the music (or something else).

Any comment will be kept anonomous - and will only be used to back up my arguments.

Thanks for your help

2 years ago i travelled through srilanka, india and pakistan and this is my story. most men in these countries are nothing but leeches who think that a white woman is a sex toy. buses i travelled in were filled with people who smelled of sweat, loud ear splitting music, and men who were fondling me all the while. these men on purpose were leaning on me in the bus and poking their dirty hands through my t shirt , legs and even my pantie.
on yahoo Q/A i always read of people bragging about the kindness and spirituality of people of the east, but i find it very hard to believe that now. most men in the east are nothing but crude and dirty.
why do they behave like this towards white women? would these men do this to their sisters or mothers?
Are these men uneducated, stupid or just crude?

I'm wondering why this category draws so many people who seem to hate religion and spirituality. It wouldn't be so disgusting if an atheist wanted to have a real discussion,(that only happens on rare occasions. ) but what I read are endless rude comments. It seems that you guys have a little contest, trying to be the most annoying, obnoxious, crude and insulting to people who are seeking religion and spirituality. Differences can exist in the same enviornment when there is respect on each side.

I am not looking for a world where everyone believes as I do. I do wish for a world with tolerance and kindness. How can we ever hope for world peace when we don't have it in our own families or in internet discussions?

Don't say you didn't know this is a category for "just religious people." Of course, you have every right to be here. If it's to have a philosophical discussion, good for you. If it's to make slurs on other people...there are LOTS of categories. Go forth and rant!

There is an argument going on forum whether

1) IP address of abusers should be blocked all together forever,

2) Asker should have right to delete any answer he thinks should not be posted

3) Asker should be able to block the answerer from answering his question in the first place.(under assumption that he will do it ti only those who stalk him to abuse!!!)

Here is the URL:
http://messages.next.yahoo.com/next/threadview?bn=SEA-YahooAnswers&tid=45257&mid=45257&tof=1&m=tm&rt=2

I was of the opinion that these options are way more prone to be misused by fanatics, bigots, spammer who try to promote a certain ideology, and those with low tolerance level....and whatever but

What do you guys think?

Its importnt seeing that most of suggestions on YA forum are actually read by the team.

Was there anything specifically that stood out or impressed you? Did you see any evidence of the theory of evolution that was even a little compelling?

2006-09-13 22:12:24 · 6 answers · asked by Anonymous

Is it fear of the unknown? is it concern that evolution might prove too difficult to understand?...I don't know but why not have a marvellous day of discovery at a good Natural History Museum and find out a little more about evolution ...

I don't want a breakdown of religions, but of people searching for religion (of any kind) as opposed to those who aren't searching at all.

I don't feel there is a true "religion" out there. I believe in the bible, God, and Jesus as God's son. However, every religion is filled with beliefs and/or practices that do not seem right to me. I'm not trying to bash anyone else's beliefs, just trying to work through my own.

He wanted to know if it was the Holy Spirit. The question was resolved so I couldn't answer but I want to find the question again so I can contact him. I can't find it.
