Celibacy in Priesthood

mariacecilia13 @mariacecilia13 (490) • Philippines 2 Oct 10

Do you think that the Catholic church should allow their priests to get married and have their own family just like other religious sects? My answer is definitely no. They promised when they ordained as priests that they will...

penstripes Personally, I don't think that a priest cannot fully serve his God if he is married. Of course, it is quite advantageous for an unmarried individual to serve in any religious order because all they have to do is focus on their vocation. But then that doesn't...

Will you choose the lesser evil?

chiyochan @chiyosan (30184) • Philippines 26 Sep 10

In life we are often given choices, the choice between good or evil... the choice between work or family, the choice on which softdrink brand to buy, or an iced tea over sodas, etc. I remember when it was election in the...

2 responses

penstripes If the choices are ONLY between a greater and a lesser evil, then, to go for the lesser is definitely a more logical and pragmatic approach. But then the question is, how do you distinguish the lesser from the greater if what we are talking about here is...

What thing do you compare yourself?

lagonera1221arenogal @lagonera1221arenogal (70) • Philippines 24 Sep 10

If you would compare yourself to a thing that God had created, what would it be? Me, I compare myself to a blank paper, ready to be used by everyone and anything can be written on me.

2 responses

penstripes I used to compare myself to eagles, tigers, lions, etc. But now I just look at myself as a grain of sand, and even perhaps just a speck of dust. Life has taught me many lessons and I have come to realize that life isn't really just about being an eagle or a...

penstripes A lot of things had been said about love through the ages, but most of the time a lot people missed the point of what love is. I guess it's because as human as we are we tend to let our emotions get the better of us. For me, love invokes a great degree of...

Life and how it will end?

Mickie30 @Mickie30 (2626) 20 Sep 10

Do you get frightened that something might happen to the world and we will all die? Or do you get worried about the pain that you will feel when you do die? I know this is a morbid subject and I feel silly saying this but, I worry...

penstripes No, anything can happen in this world and to me dying is nothing more than the culmination of human existence. The sooner we accept the fact that we are already dead even as we breathe, the better it will be for us. It's normal to have some doubts and...

Will you be OK if you died today?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17387) • Canada 14 Sep 10

If it were decided that you will die today, will you warm up(pun) to the idea? I know that the obvious response would be to say ‘No’, but if you think about it, and if you forget being selfish for a minute, and not think of the...

penstripes I haven't written a book yet but it's in the back of head to write some one of these days. I used to write poems and such, but I guess I got caught up with the intricacies of life that I have put them in the back burner. As for my writing technique, I...

penstripes My favorite is Fast Dial because it makes all my favorite sites viewable and accessible in one page. But I also like the IE tab add-on since there are sites that I visit from time to time that only support IE. And here comes Fox-clocks that helps me keep...

eddyspaghetti @eddyspaghetti (1225) • United States 16 Apr 10

How do you accept rejections?

alpir17 @alpir17 (27) • Philippines 13 Sep 10

I know we have encountered lots of rejections. Like, if we are looking for a job and we didn't qualify for it. So, I would like to ask, how do you accept rejections in your life?

9 responses

penstripes I just take them in strides and tell myself to do better next time. There's really no point for me to dwell in them because doing so will never turn back the hands of time.
