When I heard that the psyops reservists were going to the war and that their stays were longer than a year because of their skills, it hit home. My son was in the psyops. He is no longer active and has health issues that would prevent him going but still I knew that other mother's sons were there. For you it has to be much closer, since he is there.
The Reformers dealt with different issues altogether. The reformers disliked the corruption and the emphasis on works in the Catholic Church, they also disagreed with the medieval view of the eucharist. Ironically, they created their own works mentality in the Protestant ethic. The Fundamentalists disliked the liberal criticism of the bible, evolution and the social gospel. So you really are dealing with two different movements. The only thing the
I think that you would probably be able to live on the island yourself with lots of free space.
Are you sure that it is is your cat that is crazy or you? You let a cat tell you when to sleep? Just kidding. I think he just knows what he wants and how to get it.
One of the things that makes it hard to understand Christian fundamentalists is that most people aren't aware of where the name, the doctrines and belief system of Fundamentalism came from. The Fundamentals These are a series of pamplets written in the early twentieth century in reaction to the liberal interpretation of the Bible, evolution and the social gospel. In addition
In a practical sense, Brahimi is wrong, but in a theoretical sense talking is always preferable to shooting. If you talk long enough and well enough then you can save your life. Of course we know that there are situations in which the enemy won't listen. I don't think that it is right to compare Iraq to World War II. The terrorists are frightening, but they do not match the power of the Nazis.
In my experience there are Catholics who are very traditional in their faith and practice and others who are more ecumenical. Sometimes it seems as if some Catholics venerate Mary more than Jesus. Other times it seems as if the statues in the church are more than just art but something that some people worship. This seems especially true in poor countries. Personally, I believe that Catholics are Christians, after all they were the first and only
This is a very well written article. Although never an atheist, I came to know Christ in a personal way. You can take time out to read C.S. Lewis and Lee Stroebel, they are quick reads. Your project sounds interesting.
It is easy to mock the use of psychotropic medications, but for some people they make the difference between life and death. Taking Prozac has made it possible for me to be happy and productive. Without it I was so depressed I couldn't get out of bed. I admit that prozac is over prescribed, but depression can be a serious illness. Since I have no personal experience with Ritalin I will say nothing about this subject. As for illicit drugs,
I fear that churches are more concerned with their own people than with the world. One thing I liked in the Episcopal church is that every week they would pray for different parishes in the world. I wish more churches did that sort of thing.
I just looked on the internet under overprescribed ritalin and found several links. I know that there was a magazine article a year or so ago stating that private school students were overprescribed and poor students underprescribed. I think you'll probably have a better chance of finding what you want.
When the first Iraq war was being fought, the week after they declared war, the Quaker church which I went to didn't say a thing about the war. I thought for sure that Friends would be concerned about the war, since they believed in peace, but not a word was mentioned. In our present church war is only mentioned on occasion--but to be fair, very few other things are prayed about in church service either.
These kind of situations are more complicated that they look. Unless there is a law in your state that will put a man or woman in jail for abuse, then most likely this woman would have not pressed charges. I've worked with abused women and they are frustrating at times, they will not only put up with the abuse but return after a separation. One woman that I saw in a crisis, would rather be abused than poor, so she put up with the abuse and wouldn't
There are certainly differences among people in their ability to concentrate, their memory, and their ability to learn certain things. When my son was young, I could only tell him one thing to do at a time, otherwise he would forget. I could give a list to my daughters and they could remember them all. My nephew couldn't learn how to read very easily. But he could draw complicated mazes in the shape of mountains, etc. My theory is that ADD isn't s
That would be a fine day. I love Ireland and when I visited northern Ireland in 1999, you could feel the tension. It was a year after the Good Friday accords. We went Easter weekend. We never asked about religion, but we were always told in various ways. In Cryprus on the other hand our taxi driver told us all about the conflict between the Turks and the Greeks. He even drove us up to the dividing wall. We talked about politics to him but not to
I think it has a lot to do with personality. Those who are good with details and are very practical find ordinary life easy. Those who are creative and intelligent find ordinary life harder but we're better at taking tests. When you get in your fifties, things will even out a little. You may still look younger, but you will be more able to deal with ordinary life and she may find life to be boring. I think the world needs her type more than your t
You have some good quotes.
It can work as long as the Palestinians and the Israelis leave separately. I don't think that aid should come from just Arab countries. They may have money, but don't necessarily have the type of institutions that work. I also wonder if the Arab countries would be willing to invest in Palestine. Since I don't know if they invest in other countries, this is just a question. However, former Palestinians might be willing to invest, if they were assur
There is something that you will find exciting. Read I Peter and then look up the references to being holy. They come from Leviticus from the part that has the kosher laws. Then read the story of Cornelius. The correlations is interesting.
Thanks for your attitude. Sorry about mine. I think that you need to go through the book of Leviticus verse by verse. Some are no longer culturally relevent, others are. As far as first two commandments, he is speaking in order of importance since the two commandments aren't together. They are a summary that either Jesus brought up or other rabbis brought up. You are correct about Jesus' cleverness. When he says about loving enemies. Hate your
I think in the case of a doctor or a vet, that you need to know a lot of stuff. Although you will learn somethings through experience, most of what you will need to learn is in class and in books. Diagnosis is difficult and sometimes it seems like the doctor skipped class on the lecture that had to do with whatever I had.
Dharma, why do you insist on assuming that those who receive government assistance are on a gravy train. There are those who abuse the system, there are also those who are unable to work or to get work. Others in your circumstances may have expenses that you don't know about. It is commendable that you don't abuse the system. But the network is there because there are people who need financial assistance.
Although some of what you say in this article is true, other parts are incorrect. Did you know that the verse "love your neighbor as yourself" comes from Leviticus. Although Jesus has fulfilled the sacrificial system by becoming the ultimate sacrifice, many of the laws in the Pentateuch are the basis of the laws of Europe and the United States. The idea of first degree murder comes from the Old Testament. The relationship between Christianity and t
Thanks for posting here. It is interesting to get another perspective. I don't have any difficulty understanding your writing. One thing I would advice you about. Try to use some of the phrases you've learned in English class. I know that when i do that with Spanish, I'm more easily understood.
