Would the world be a better place if everyone had the same religious beliefs [or lack thereof] as you do? In truth, I don't think it would be if everyone was without religion like me. I can decide right from wrong and...

agrady It wasn't my intention to patronize or offend with my comments. I was merely speaking my mind: the same way that some state they do not believe in our Father, I state that I do. My point is that with or without religion, there has to be a basic and common...

agrady I beg your pardon but in my first response, I got off track a bit from what you were actually saying. You believe that mankind would probably survive if there was no religion because there would be "central beliefs of what is right or wrong". Well, perhaps...

agrady It's amazing how people can dismiss God so lightly from their lives when they themselves have so little control over whether or not they're even going to wake up tomorrow morning! Indeed, we have little control over what our lives will be like in the next...

As some of my friends here already know, I have been babysitting my neighbour's little girl, since she was eight months old. She's now seven years old, and is in grade two. I still do some after school care for her. 'Both' of...

agrady I believe it's extremely unhealthy to bring guns or any kind of weaponry into a child's world, mainly because a child hasn't yet had the opportunity to form his/her moral positions or to develop his/her appreciation and respect for life. I strongly believe...

agrady I found that the best way to overcome general depression is to do something for someone else. I believe that part of the reason why depression occurs is because we've been wounded in some way and now all of our attention is on ourselves. We should keep the...

It is habit to give tips to waiter in restaurant or bellboy. Most of the people do not much think about if they deserve it because it is general manner. But would you give tip if you were not satisfied with the service in...

agrady Long ago, tipping was done because a person was appreciative of a service that was done beyond the general call of duty. The amount given was determined by the giver and how grateful he/she felt toward the person doing the service. It was a totally voluntary...

agrady Thanx for responding to the first comment I sent you. I agree with you, Andrew: I love my space too! It's most important for all of us, no matter what kind of person we happen to be, to have a place to go and regenerate or regroup. As long as we have this kind...

I believe if a husbands wants his wife to submit to him and respect him...he must Love his wife first just like Jesus....( remember the song Oh how I love Jesus" because he firsted love me) Jesus was not abusive, but rather...

agrady The husband needs to be loved just as much the wife so I don't think we can put it all on the husband to be the one to love first. In fact, I believe God and our Lord Jesus Christ are the only ones who are capable of loving first without having to receive love...

agrady Thank goodness I've learned to recognize the people who can prove to be "poison" to me and walk the other way! Yes, I've had people in my life who the very mention of their name brought stress through my door. When we're young, we're a lot less experienced at...

If education were more relevant to reality, perhaps more kids would see the connection between education and their success in the world and may be more motivated to do well in school. Can't just schools have something that teaches...

The whole idea of sin is really a bit strange. Sin is defined as something that goes against the word or law of God. What is the word or law of God? Where do we find it? Since we're talking about original sin, which is a...

agrady It's difficult to tell whether you actually believe in God, as it seems your complaint is instead with Sin. Your concern is that maintaining the concept of Sin is strange and it paints a "gloomy" picture of mankind. There is nothing strange about sin and it...

agrady Correction: I misread the article -- "streaming" is actually the system we've been under all these years and it's "comprehensive" education that will eliminate the 12-grade program that "streaming" consists of.

agrady I think that on a whole, the educational system has deteriorated significantly over the years. I wasn't aware of "streaming" but from your description, it sounds like another avenue that will keep the educational process going downhill. I believe one of the...
