What was the last recorded date mentioned in the bible? And why did the bible stop being written after a certain point in time? I would think that if the bible were a recorded history of Christianity then there would still be new...

bible

history

life

religion

shlooper Oh, I certainly agree with you that the bible isn't very modern. I don't think modern christianity would accept any more scripture if it smacked us in the face. We are all programmed to think, ah bible is it. If you want to read a good website about this topic...

shlooper Also, in the United States technically it is illegal to video someone and place it in a public forum (which youtube is) without their consent. So if the teacher gets really pissed they could send a takedown notice to youtube/sue for defamation of character.

One of my friends is fond of saying that it would be wonderful if we could find a way to make every prospective parent pass a test to prove that they would be capable parents. I understand what he is coming from, when so many kids...

shlooper Yeah but I mean a real test, like a drivers test. You could fail that class over and over and still have children in the real world. I never took a parenting class in school, and even taking a test doesn't really mean that people learned anything.

In the news we have read repeatedly of how the big 5 nations supposedly are trying to halt nuclear proliferation. They say that it threatens them as a nation. However, considering that there has been no actual use of atomic...

shlooper You have a good point about alternative energy that it is not a perfectly clean source. However, it produces much more energy. It is difficult to power an entire country off of wind and solar power. Ask Lithuania, which derives over 1/3 of its power from...

shlooper I am not advocating giving small countries nuclear technology; this is obviously dangerous and stupid, but I think it is just as dangerous and stupid for the big countries to have the technology. Honestly, the UN is next to useless since the bigger nations...

shlooper Well, something that I think we have to consider is that nuclear technology does not automatically mean nuclear weapons. Furthermore, Asscrackistan, as you put it has just as much of a right to be heard as the United States does. I would say that statistically...

I used to never read classics because they were so hard to get through, then I took a class where I was required to read them. Now I love them and read them all the time because of the good messages and the good writing. I...

shlooper I find that when I re-read classics that I read when I was younger I sometimes find different meanings in them. They meant something different to me then than they do now.

shlooper Ok, thank you for that. I know that I need to tell them, that is why I asked HOW should I tell them. I have no idea what to say.

I don't like spiders but they do not make me scream. My friend on the other hand saw a spider, yelled, and has been searching for it for 5 minutes to "destroy it". I believe that they are just another part of life and if I don't...

shlooper I suppose that spiders do like places that are dark and have insects, they could be a sign of uncleanliness. That kind of sounds like how mice are viewed here. I don't really like them very much either.

shlooper Well, being a guy doesn't make you immune, my friend is a boy too, he is embarrassed by his fear. You are right about everyone having their own fears. Plus there are people who really like spiders as well. I am certainly not one of them, but I know that they...

Regardless of whether you practice it or not; did you exercise the free will that God ultimately gave us all; and make your own personal decision regarding what religion you fall under or practice? Or did you enter the religion...

shlooper I would also say that many churches do help people feel a community in their spirituality. It is nice to be with other people who have the same belief as you; however, I think that they can be oppressive if they try to force the same beliefs on everyone.

There are times when you have a few moments to read, such as while eating or waiting to see someone. What do you read in these moments? Do you go for novels, short stories, newspapers, magazines or something else? I am a...

shlooper I would lose my place in the storyline. When I read I guess it takes me a minute to remind myself what was happening, one paragraph would be just enough for me to remember then have to put it down again.

shlooper I respect their views and don't want to convince them to believe what I do. I also know that I need to talk to them, I am just uncertain how to go about it.

shlooper They believe that leaving the religion IS a sin because I will be willfully denying the "knowledge" that god has given me.

shlooper Thank you, I am just afraid that in this situation it could be enough to drive me apart from my family. My sister made the same decision and they nearly disowned her. I just don't know what to say to my mother. I know I NEED to talk to them, I just don't have...
