Christian values and the existence of God

Christian values and the existence of God
2008.11.22 23:13

I believe Christian value is very good. Altruism, love and sacrifice. Nobody can't know whether God really exists. God exists or does not exist, which is regardless of whether people believe in God. Do those who believe in God really show altruism, love and sacrifice? I think Christian values and existence of God are not mutually related.
I think there are many people who believe in Christian values but don't believe in God. I think that's natural.

The role of religion
2008.11.22 21:28

Many many years ago I had a chance to attend the church service for about a year.Some one who had been attending the church with his son was eventually dead from cancer in several months.A married couple was attending the church and one day they took their son with probably the last stage of jaundice. Soon after that they stopped coming.
It was much deeper than I thought the feeling people sought for religion.

Mistake
2008.11.22 21:14

We need to make an environment that allows those who made a mistake. Because if mistake is not allowed, someone who made a mistake starts blaming or being attribute to other one who actually hadn't make a mistake.
We often see this in rigid organisation.

Group psychology

Group psychology has some reason since they think majority is right.

Small world
2008.11.22 20:59

One of the risks we live in a small world is we tend to be particular about small things.

The mystery of working hours2008.11.05 21:56We usually believe we can get more money working in 8 hours than in 6 hours. If we can earn $80 in 8 hours we tend to feel it's natural to earn $60 in 6 hours.That's strange.We can get two extra hours for taking a rest or pleasure in case of working just 6 hours. How can we spend this 2 hours in less paid money. We have to spend extra money in this extra hours. We need a compensation for this 2 hours if we had to work only 6 hours instead of 8 hours in a day.We need to get paid $80 x 4/3 or $107 for working 6 hours. We sell time and buy money in working hours. We sell money and buy time in pleasure hours.

It was actually hard for me to explain the feeling of it in a word. She seemed ideal and perfect to me. I just talked to her a couple of word near her office. Her office and mine happened to be very close and she happened to live near my house though I didn't seek to know exactly where.She started wearing a ring in her left hand sometime after I talked to her. I tried to forget her ignore her though the effort was in vain.

Allowance
2008.11.12 5:26

Our government decides to pay a fixed allowance to each natinal. Ordinary adults get paid $120 and age more than 65 and less than 18 get paid $200, so average household get received $640.
We need money so simply I'm glad that. But what really we need is a steady job, pay increase, a regular bonus, tax cuts. Our government left all these problems and gives us just allowance. I feel sorry but we need to call ourselves a beggar at last.

>I believe in individual freedoms and tend to think people should be left alone to decide social policy for themselves.
It's interesting to see from right to left in the US this attitude is unchanging.It's also intersting to observe how Asian's nationality is much more group-oriented.People are willing to deny an individual freedom and have learned from their childhood how to make sacrifices for the sake of society and are wanting a unified social policy to follow. They are reluctant to choose whatever they want. They like to be given, not tend to seek for something better for themselves.
I like American type democracy, but there's a way in each country. I can't help but leave it to them.

The meaning of civilian control
2008.11.09 15:20

94 member of air self defence force submitted theses to private thesis competition. Total number of people who submitted was 235. A head of air self defence force got the first prize and $300,000. His theme was 'Japan was not an invader nation'. 9 out of ten people would say no to his idea. But it's just ok to have various opinions, however..it is questionable if it were an opinion of current head of armed forces. The meaning of civilian control is it is civilian that decides the use of force. A head of armed forces ought not to express their idea while they are in charge. It is very natural for government to insist the return of retired money from former head of armed forces. He was fired but received the money of $600,000. I'm not sure whether he returns but I hope anyone who is a head of armed forces keep silent, especially when it comes to political opinions. Please make sure that.
Wind from China
2008.11.09 15:00

They say Japan is an industrialised nation. As a matter of fact there are many factories located off the coast. We have been sometimes sufferred from polluted air, especially from the one called 'photochemical smog'. We used to have a severe state in that. Now the contents of smoke is very regulated and said to be safer than those of in many years ago. But still we have smog problems. We started claiming that the polluted air is arriving from newly industrialised coastal China since few years ago. Japanese people are good at attributing to next nations when it comes to something unpleasant. Japanese local government regulates the quantity of smoke emission by the degree of polluted air. If the harmful matterial exceeds the standard, factories have to stop or decrease the production to meet the criteria. Japanese factories increase production again after it was restricted, insisting that because it is owing to Chinese factories to exceed the level of pollution. The gross of polluted material, that matters, no matter who comes up the pollution.

The Real Meaning of 'Gott ist tot'
Jul 16, '07 1:14 AMby Mer for group nietzschean
Until a few days ago I had taken it for granted for a long time that Nietzsche denied the existence of God by declaring Gott ist tot or God is dead. But if God were almighty, he could resurrect himself. If Jesus were God before he arrives on the Earth, he or God experienced human's inevitable destiny through the crucification.
If so, the real meaning of Gott ist tot is different from what I thought. God experienced death because he wanted to give his best creature, that is all humans, an eternal life in Eucharist and wanted to share the same suffering all humans once had to experience, that is death -sharing in other words, Communion.
So real meaning of Gott ist tot is God experienced death through which he was able to give us an eternal life and also share the same suffering. The real meaning of faith was giving and sharing.
God is dead was an ultimate expression of God cares for you.

Another way by which we can understand this statement is by considering the need to re-interpret God in our post-modern times. If we are to utilize the "frozen" God that theologians and philosophers of the past used, then God in fact may be a losing proposition. I look at this Nietzschean statement as a challenge for us to look at God in perspectives different from the traditional way we look at Him/Her.

Given Nietzsche's superman concept I should think that the meaning of Gott ist tot is that with regards to morals, one can no longer turn to God or the church as one's moral compass. It is my belief that Nietzsche was reacting to Darwin's theory of evolution and that man was on his own to create his own ethics and morals to live by and those that were successful at this endeavor were the Supermen and or women and have risen above the rest of mankind that still clung to God and the Church for everything.God, should such a being exist, would not roll over and die just because some man declared him to be dead, but man can disregard God's existence when it comes to creating the rules under which we chose to live.

Soup in noodles

17 year ago I had a Filipina girlfriend. She made me noodles one day and she insisted I drink all the soup of noodles because it's healthy.At that time we had no custom to drink up all the soup. We just left it and throw away.Time has passed. Our company asked us at lunch we are supposed to drink it up all the soup because it's insanitary to throw away into a sink.I now drink up all the soup because I don't like to waste nutrition.We are becoming stingy whatever the reason.

Of course I left there.You cannot smoke from 11 to 14 doesn't mean you can smoke except 11 to 14, but means you ought not to smoke throughout all business hours but especially you mustn't smoke from 11 to 14 or lunch time.Smokers don't understand the meaning because they smoke.

I don't know her name, many things on her. It is hard to get over the feeling of it, still I have no way to ease it.

History is a story (Score:1)by Mer_panacea (1381133) on 2008.11.02 23:22 (#25602325) JournalHistory is his story, or winner's story. History reflects a part of archaeological or documentary fact, but not entirely. History changes as times go by. We just need to be very skeptical about how history textbooks tell us.

The mystery of working hours2008.11.05 21:56We usually believe we can get more money working in 8 hours than in 6 hours. If we can earn $80 in 8 hours we tend to feel it's natural to earn $60 in 6 hours.That's strange.We can get two extra hours for taking a rest or pleasure in case of working just 6 hours. How can we spend this 2 hours in less paid money. We have to spend extra money in this extra hours. We need a compensation for this 2 hours if we had to work only 6 hours instead of 8 hours in a day.We need to get paid $80 x 4/3 or $107 for working 6 hours. We sell time and buy money in working hours. We sell money and buy time in pleasure hours.

Voting is a right, not an obligation. It ought to be completely free whether we exercise this right or not. If we were gaoled for not voting, this is nothing but a persecution. I cannot go to vote even if I want to!
