I agree, a system cannot force people into caring for others, but it can certainly create people who will not care of others by constructing a dystopia, where those who speak the truth for the benefit of others are prosecuted for the sake for harmony, when people are taught to distrust based on stereotype, when what is wrong is diluted/distorted to make it seems right. American is looking more and more like China everyday.
There are rituals, and there are laws. Rituals such as consumption of foods could not condemn a person, for "what goes into someone's mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them, " and everything is sanctified by God.
The bible does not condemn a person's "sexual orientation", but homosexual acts of stimulating each other for enjoyment is against the Mosaic laws (the same applies for heterosexual) for marriage and sex is not for one's body desire, but for God. Anyone who continue letting their fleshly desires control themselves cannot enter the New Jerusalem when Jesus return.
Yes, please use the right book, use Hadiths instead of Torah.
"When a man mounts another man, the throne of God shake" Abu Dawud Book 33 (4462) "Kill the one that is doing it and also kill the one that it is being done to." (in reference to the active and passive partners in gay sexual intercourse) (Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah, authenticated sahih by al Albani, Arwaa' ul)
Don't blame the book, blame the one who write it...
The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. Hating the sinner is not a misdirection, but a failure of love, and "all who hate a brother or sister are murderers, and you know that murderers do not have eternal life abiding in them." 1 John 3:15.
Of course not. It is not fine to watch men beat each other up as it has no other value and is a waste of time. Entertainment that have no other benefits is an illusion, a fantasy that by itself will slowly eats away your life. Every second you spend enjoying a selfish pleasure could be used learn a programming language and contribute to open sources.
I think the definition of adultery seems to be different depending on the person. For Christian like me, I consider it any sexual lusts that is disrespectful and create unneccessary non-beneficial wants - such as having sexual thoughts about a person other than your spouse (this isn't an obvious sin for many people). Are you more righteous just by having the "right" sexual orientations? I think not. Is it bad to rape someone? Yes, gay or not this is sinful. Is it irresponsible to have sex with someone before marriage? I think so.
Being approving nor disapproving is not the main concern, but rather having the correct knowledges and reasons. But as a human being, we only have limited knowledge and wisdom. I personally don't approve of bigotry, and think as civilized people, we should be able to exchange idea and agree to disagree, for we are all sinners and have partial knowledge. For matters that are serious in nature, more investigation, inspection, and discussion are certainly needed, and laws are required so that people don't go around killing and raping people as they see fit. Nevertheless, I see too many people start jumping to conclusion based on ideology, religion, political standing, and even sexual orientations.
"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction." - Blaise Pascal
The first quote is most likely spoken by a person who does not aware of his/her own sin, and believe in the falsehood.
The second quote is most likely spoken by someone who is aware of right from wrong, but commited to the wrong nevertheless.
â€oebut he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation†Mark 3:29
A person that will not listen to the voices of his/her own conscience is subject to eternal condemnation, which is quite scary. A person who know what is wrong, but do it nevertheless, is wrong on top of wrong.
Then who is more scary? A person who is commited to do wrong knowingly, or a person who doesn't know right from wrong?
I don't think grandparent implied that Jesus, Heavenly Father, and Holy Spirit is the same, it is just bad analogy. Jesus as a human does not "change" into one and the other, and all three trinity are distinct yet in one. Jesus has his own personhood as a human, divinity as God, and he exists before Abraham. The concept of the three divinity is merely an perception and people's insight in bible, not something that is spelt out in bible. I suspect it will become quadnity (4) during the second coming of Jesus, no?
You sound like bringing down dictators is a good thing. People in authority are anointed, and with power comes responsibility. One may argue that someone may not be doing their jobs well enough, but why this zeal for outing someone because of a label of dictator? Dictator or not, as long as they are doing reasonbly enough for their own people (including military), they are good government.
Actually, it is because the machines are old, that the 2D acceleration meant a lot for those system. 3D acceleration isn't too important for education in my opinion, as they probably wouldn't use those computer for anything 3D related anyway.
When I look at failure, I look at the number of people injured, died, or gotten sick as a result.
You may said coal don't have catastrophic failure, but if we are turning a blind eye for the 20x increase of cancers per year because of coal, how many people are we willing to give cancer for nuclear energy? How many people can die in a coal mine so that we can not having to worry about preventable catastrophic? Is it more acceptable that we render the entire region inhabitable and destroy the ecosystem for coal, than having a plant to contain nuclear waste?
There is one problem, why do we need to go backward in this technology era? Why do I, as a producer of creative contents, need to invest in infrastructure to serve people who want to download music/video that I licensed public domain?
The only pressure society tends to put on teenagers these days are that they should have sex or be labeled as prude and non-social people. In fact, they (parents included) expect you to have kids when you have a boyfriend/girlfriend just because they think all teenagers are horny idiots who doesn't think of their consequences, which is further from the truth.
People have the ability to make choice and decision, we as a human may not always make the best decision. But lumping all people up that they will do whatever biological urges they feel isn't doing justice to humanity.
Actually, IMO only the end has redeeming value for the story. I have to skip most part because it is just full of clichés. In fact, I can forgive the clichés because it teaches people lessons what happens when you act like some stereotypical dumb Hollywood characters.
That's because it is two separate languages. The text/written language , which has 8000 years of history, has meaning in the words itself; each characters has it own meaning. By understanding the word itself, you can connect to the ancient civilization, their culture, their value system, and belief. What is beauty and what is love? What is fear and what is death? The meaning are already recorded in the characters. The written language is an art in itself, which is sadly getting lost thanks to the cultural revolution to simplify the language.
If it is Simplified Chinese, perhaps they may as well just use English, reducing a language to a merely communication tool. However, there is nothing to learn from history if we just ignore it. If we live only to advance ourselves and be contented with foods and money, it will be a very dry world.
If you need to spend time memorizing sinographs, you are doing it wrong. Unlike adult, children have amazing memorization. Even for the poor and "uneducated" Chinese, learning Chinese (even Traditional version of it) is not harder nor more time consuming than learning Math.
The problem is due to exposure to the language, if you don't write, and rarely read, it is no surprise you can't remember. Even my grandma who is poor and did not have the privilege to go to school know how to write Chinese just from reading newspaper. Or maybe people these days are getting stupider with all the pollution and lack of real food.
Aren't you expecting everyone must share the same value as you, including the teacher/professor? Is it really the professor's fault that the world is so hung up on a grade of a paper, or should it not be the fault of a system where grade, which is relative, is viewed as the absolute standard? In some other country, if you get a 40/100, you are already doing very well, the passing grade being 30/100. Are we going to kill off diversity and create a monotonic entity in the name of standardization? There is of course a balance of what a teacher should be allowed to do, but people are not machine.
I have not come across any teacher that I would really called a bad teacher, but they do all have some quirk, be it a math teacher that is obsessed with punctuation and grammar, or an Art teacher that overestimates the difference in gender. But as long as they tried their best, and is genuine about the education of students, I consider them to be a good teacher.

Of course it shaped human. If Noah wasn't drunk, he wouldn't get pissed off when his son saw him naked, and cursed Ham for all generations.

Where did the articles mentions that speech such as "'disbelievers' will be consigned to the fires of Hell for eternity" will be criminalized?
1) Rouleau's website featured a black ISIS flag and condemn disbelievers
2) Bill C-13 will criminialize hate propaganda, including Rouleau's website
And therefore, the bill criminalized condemnation of disbeliever?

I think they are just really good at pretending to be relgious to earn votes. They claimed to be Christian, but acts contrary to Jesus' teaching.

Yes you can. In Canada, it is against the law for people to sell alcohol for people who will be drink afterward.

On the contrary, if countries no secret, many foolish wars would have been avoided.

Wait a minute, you are saying murdered victims have it easier than raped victims?
One is dead, the other is still living, and we only hear the living one complain. It is one sided.
Unless of course someone can die and come back to tell us that the afterlife is better than living world?
Just made them use Linux/BSD.

Don't be silly, the opposite of man is not woman. What gp means is that capitalism is a man of system's exploitation by system.
