Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Contemporary religious battles: Faith vs. tolerance: 3 of 40
Understanding of tolerance and faith is diverse as the cultures we are part of. Along with personal choices of faith and tolerance, cultures have their restrictions and limitations. Yet there is no faith versus tolerance unless you believe the two are at eternal odds. Whatever faith you have, some form of tolerance is general... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: 2 of 26
Fear is a natural and useful sense necessary for survival. It warns us of dangerous situations, of something imminent. We fear many things; we fear some things. There are those who claim to fear nothing. Much of people's fears are of the self. Fear of financial loss, fear of harm, fear of losing a loved one, fear of death. Fe... More..

Last year the poverty rate in America reached 13.5%. According to the Census Bureau, that rate is expected to climb through this year and the next.

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values The effects of pride: 3 of 17
Pride is developed in many different areas and some areas common to almost everyone. Pride is encouraged when a youngster performs approvingly in school or other activities.

Politics, News & Issues > US Politics (Other) The politics of outrage: 4 of 20
Where is the outrage expressed at Bill Clinton's impropriety when a Baptist pastor can say he will pray the Obama to be killed and go to hell? What sin is greater?

Our society is rooted in independence, self-sufficiency, self-accomplishment, and being a "winner". They all require an attitude of pride and the greater the self-accomplishment, sufficiency, and winning you are, the greater that pride fullness is developed, the more victories and accomplishments it will need to feed on to sa...

Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Should we fear God?: 13 of 53
A believer fears the Lord; an unbeliever should but does not. A heretic or unbeliever would take the term fear and assume it to be a synonym of scared. A little research into the term fear would reveal that it also refers to great reverence, respect or awe but also dread or terror. These are from translations in the Old Testa... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Religious Speculations & Criticisms What do you believe?: 17 of 64
One morning during breakfast here at the inn, we had a 6-way discussion about God, the big bang, and science. You know that it was tense. The topic drifted to doing good things. This topic actually is about service which, when explained, is a confusing topic for those who do not believe. They believe that simply by doing good... More..
Education > Education (Other) Should sexual identity be taught as a course in schools?: 4 of 12
Since the title does not identify what level of school, I will assume it to be directed at grammar school since these issues are already raised and taught at the upper levels. Schools should NOT be teaching this "sexual identity". First, there are much more important topics a child needs to learn and should not be subject to ... More..
Sciences > Sociology The relationship between economics and crime: 3 of 9
Depending on your religious persuasion, poverty has been with us since the Old Testament with the ejection of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden to struggle and toil in the soil to survive and with the first recorded crime (biblically) when Cain murdered Able.
