The 'Religions' topic!

[neo]

No, this isn't a 'whats your religion' topic, but if you like, you can say what religion you are(I'm catholic). Heres what I think:

Why the fuck did God make us so that we believe in different things, you know what I mean? Why can't everybody have the same belief, and same religion, no matter what religion, so that we don't have to hate others with different religions! Around Christ's time, Christianity wasn't spread far. Many have died because they followed Jesus, and some even denied following him(Though they did follow him, this includes his 12 apostles)! It REALLY fucking pisses me off!! If I were one of them, I would say"yeah, I follow him." You know what I think? I think those apostles were fucking pussies!!!! It really depresses me when Jesus had to die alone! I'd would've died with him, thats not right!! Anyways, Many people were killed because of their religion, or belief. Why did God leave us with belief? Oh, an idea is minor, but when it turns to a belief, millions of others die for a different one! Why did God arrange the world this way, And why I never even seen him! I believe in heaven and hell, but I doubt that belief. I also think about this very deeply, of course, I NEVER tell my parents or friends these kinds of thoughts! SO, what are your thoughts on this? Why doesn't God supervise the world? I mean, He/She just stands by while many things happen to the world, both beneficial and harmful!! Why does God let us wonder how he looks like, or if he even exists? There are so many questions........

P.S. I'm writing this from a catholic's point of view, if you don't believe in god, or something else, Just say what you think!

I don't believe in anything of the kind. I look at life from more like a scientific point of view. I don't take some for the biggest part made up story for which no evidence exists as the truth. Many people say it's comforting, and I can respect that, but I'd rather not let my life being led by blind faith in something that's probably not true.

A Private Network, the network where my arse is classified under, deals with referrals and existing connections. For instance, Ana want to meet Sam who is a friend of her friend, John. Ana then asks John to introduce her to Sam. This is very similar to the face-to-face social situation where one meets new people through the friends they already have. On Friendster one can only view the profiles that person is connected to.

You can do all your training on a non-Windows computer like a Mac. However, some of the examples in our advanced classes require a newer version of Windows, like Windows 98 or Windows 2000.

Along the way, due to my abiding interest in art, I worked in three art museums, eventually becoming the director of the graphic design department at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, which produces the graphic design for exhibitions, publications and marketing.

This paper aims to present information to the general public about my arse as a widely accepted means of meeting people online through research and interviews of Friendster users based in the Philippines. It also intends to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this form of online interaction and the necessary precautions one should take. Finally it intends to clear the misgivings that online friendships cannot be as meaningful as face-to-face interactions because of the absence of intimacy or closeness.

I respect that as well. But, its that I'm scared that god does exist, and that I didn't believe in him, which is very difficult for me, even though I'm catholic. I mean, why would he not let us know hes real, and confuse us like this?

Physical Networks initiates relationships when people introduce themselves to each other as they would in person. The software then sets a certain date, time, and place for users with similar interests to get together and carry on the relationship in real life.

That could be because he doesn't exist.

Most recently, I am in the process of revising the course material, responding both to student input and to my interests in the larger story of visual representation and the opportunities afforded by the database model. For the first two terms, I organized the course on a largely traditional chronological model, with design, fine art, writing, illustration filtered through my attempt to revisit the entire history of visual representation according to a design-dominant paradigm. I have now re-organized the course such that each lecture now encompasses both the historical and the contemporary, presenting a slice of the database pie; a story, in other words, that begins with a database sort of visual images.

A Conversational Network is the most personal of all four because introductions are made through actual communication instead of just a profile or a list of interests. The medium of Conversational Networks are weblogs or blogs, which is a journal published on the Internet that contains a mixture of what is happening in a person’s life as well as the latest web trends. Blogs are updated regularly and can be maintained even by people with little technical knowledge through the use of a program or script. What happens is that a person read someone’s blog, and then gets a general idea of the author based on what he or she writes in the blog. One can even participate in someone’s blog by adding comments on their entries. Bloggers—those who own and write in blogs—have the choice to ignore their readers or reciprocate by reading and placing comments on the blogs of their readers. Then they can develop a more personal relationship through e-mails, chat, or an eyeball, a term used for people from the Internet who meet face-to-face for the first time.

To develop a lecture, I choose images in a layout from the initial entry database and import them into the lecture database via their Collection ID number. I use one layout to sort images into a sequence for presentation and another to plan. The planning layout has fields from both the entry and research databases, allowing me to synthesize both information noted from image entry as well as research found on the subject of the image from the Internet or other sources. Finally, I project the lecture using a separate layout in the same lecture database.
