Patriotism Education
-
How is patriotism education done in your country? Japan[^] is just passed a law making it compulsory to teach patriotism in schools and students are going to be evaluated and graded (may be according to their level of patriotism or is it knowledge of patriotism?), and next the government will come out with the guideline to grade it - getting interesting :-D With love, Paul.

It's not really, which leads to too many English (and I'm being quite deliberate in saying English, not British) people thinking that being patriotic means wrapping a St Georges flag around themselves, getting drunk and fighting (usually in foreign cities) :-( Most of them are following the England football team, but a depressing number also think BNP[^] when you say patriotism. Ho hum. Personally, when I think patriotism, I'm thinking of the (positive) achievements of the country and citizens. Of course, my view of 'positive' may well not match other peoples view of 'positive' :-)

My own life. Those you knew me before I became a Christian now trust me and those who I meet simply like me - to Jesus be the Glory, He gave me something special and He changed my life.

Both books acknowlegde the Bible. The Momons use the Bible, I have meet many of them, but prefer to add. Also, for the Koran, it seems asking a question is a bit difficult
"O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which if made plain to
you, may cause you trouble. Some people before you did ask such questions, and
on that account lost their faith." (Surah 5:101-102)."The Holy Prophet himself forbade people to ask questions ...so do not try to
probe into such things." (The Meaning of the Qur'an, Maududi, vol. III, pgs. 76-
77)"The prophet was asked about things which he did not like, and when the
questioner insisted, the Prophet got angry. (vol. 1, no. 92) The Prophet got
angry and his cheeks or his face became red. (vol. 1, no. 91) "Allah has hated
you...[for] asking too many questions." (vol. 2, no. 555; and vol. 3, no. 591,
Bukhari's Hadith commenting on Muhammad’s reaction to hostile questioners.)Amos Levy wrote:
How do you know God is real? Beacuse the bible says so.
No, many Christians read the Bible less than they really should (including myself). I know God is real, because He is real in my life. He heals me whenever I am sick, and I hardly think about hospitals. I am not afraid of tomorrow and will never insure myself against sickness (cancer or whatever). He provides my needs; I just cannot list them up -- the other day, I drove a long distance to church on a fuel that normally only takes me there. Coming back, I had no choice, I simply do not have the money to pay more fuel but you may not believe it I back home any fear, and when I started the fuel level started rising. Initially, I was doubting my own eyes, but finally gave up and started using even the heater - HE IS REAL. Now, I am back in money - I just do not like saving :(( I always feel somebody needs it.

Jesus Christ loves people so much that he sends them to burn forever in hell?
Hell was not created for human. It was created for sons of disobedience. The sons of disobedience found a way to let something God loves (human) join, by letting them do what they did. Jesus Christ therefore came to give the human a chance to get out of this punishment. So as a human you have a choice, you choose between heaven and hell. I will say the choice is obvious, but not many people simply want to, preferring to "enjoy" the things of this world (sex, drinking, abortion, adultery...name them). I hope you! will make the right choice. With love, Paul.

How about murder, rape, stealing, selling drugs... or you think sex and drinking are worse? :~

For one thing, the heater doesn't consume any fuel.
Hmmm, in a cold whether it depends on the state of your engine and zero effect is not accepted anywhere. You might wish to take a look at this[^].

If your gas guage goes up, either you were parked on a hill or were going up or down a hill when the reading changed or it's defective.
Not parked, not climbing any hill, my car is just returned from the compulsory maintenance scheme here in Japan (that explains why I over-spent my budget, since they by law change any thing and you have to pay), it cannot be defective reading - its is simply the work of God (for I had nothing else that day but to pray). With love, Paul.

1. So to what extent do you believe God controls what happens in our lives? 2. Why aren't other good Christians (such as yourself) as fortunate when they're running out of fuel? 3. Have you tried playing the lottery? Think of all the people you could help with all that money. Please let us know if God makes it happen for you, OK? Alvaro

You just have to show some responsibility about how you practice it.
I think the last statement says it all, "responsibility" and this is what the marriage brings. If you think you have full responsibility towards your partner go ahead and marry her. I can tell you that most of them you opened up to me had the mind that I will marry them, but you know the result.

Not really. Marriage is a public announcement of life-long commitment to your partner. After the wedding's over, it's up to both of you to maintain your commitment. It doesn't happen automatically just because of a wedding; otherwise half of all marriages wouldn't end in divorce.
Paul Selormey wrote:

I disagree. Children come from sex. But humans don't consider sex just a tool for making children. It's way too enjoyable to be used only for that. It's used mainly to satisfy a deep desire to be with the other person. I would say that over 99% of the time that people have sex, children are the last thing on their minds. Think about it! Alvaro

A fixed fuel gauge wouldn't be much use now would it. ;)

Funny. Why does he make you sick in the first place, if he is just going to turn around and heal you? Just for the hell of it? :omg: I think your god may be a sadist. ;)
