What do you think of the attitudes towards subjugated nations in this book? They appear somewhat patronising to me, but certainly not as insulting as references to Jewish people in early English literature [e.g. Chaucer and Marlowe]
which do you think is generally more offensive: colonial literature or medieval literature? and why?

Hi! =) I'm a choir member looking for the background stories of two songs, eg. why, when and in what context they were written. The two songs are "All Things Bright and Beautiful" by John Rutter, and One Way by Hillsong United. I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me more about these songs (aside from the names of their writers). Stories behind the songs would be really helpful =). Thanks for your time!!! =P

Or confirmation? So how does one join the church or religion of Catholicism?

having a common ancestor with apes?
When people say " if you're okay with descending from a monkey, then believe in evolution", I don't see what's so weird or unbelievable about it? I mean, you're human now so what's the problem?
We share 98% of our DNA with them, and we can vaguely see some physical and behavioral similarities...
It really is harder for you to think we might have a common ancestor ( NOTE: WE DON'T COME FROM APES, WE SHARE A COMMON ANCESTOR) than it is to think that a man sprung up from dust and got his rib taken out to make a woman????

I was just watching a news clip he was talking about where Christians are being so abused in Iraq. The clip was obviously Catholics receiving Communion. He never once mentioned Catholics but, any other time when it suits him he seperates us. Why?

I mean really. Sure this sounds stupid but if what people say is true that people are born to be homosexuals, then why can't doctors detect this at birth? As far as I know there isn't a person born to be labled as homosexual on their first day. Is this not so? Does anybody actually know of a case where a woman had a baby and the doctor said "congradulations on your new baby homosexual?".

I do it all the time. Yes it makes your hand hard and red, but it's worth it. Besides, I am 30. My parents shouldn't care. If you do that, then you don't sleep around. Basicly, I don't need a girlfrend if it do this.

Matt. 16:1-3 (KJV)
1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven.
2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

Luke 21:25: And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

How do your religious and/or spiritual beliefs define you? Do they define your personailty, your actions, your likes, your dislikes?

Do your beliefs determine who you spend time with, who you date, who you marry, and who you are friends with? In what way?

Sometimes we allow how we feel about certain things such as religion and spirituality define us. Sometimes we allow other people to define us based on the same thing(s). My question is do you let it define you?

Reading the headlines before coming on I saw another horrible bombing of a mosque killing 78 HUMAN BEINGS. When will we learn that all any of us really wants is to be happy and safe and free. I'm a Buddhist. So what? I don't wish anyone dead because of it.......I don't understand.....does it put anyone's thoughts into perspective about their faiths/or none at all......all thoughts welcome. I am heartsick.

It's what Francis Maude thought anyway quote:
"It always seemed to me a bit pointless to disapprove of homosexuality. It's like disapproving of rain."

I think we could learn a lesson in spirituality from her there don't you?
