The Woes of Internet Dating

Have you tried internet dating yet? I put my photo and some info about myself up there on a dating site to see what would happen.    Well, my inbox was soon full of messages, but almost none of them were worth replying to.  So I thought I would share some of the messages I've received and write some tips for men.    Attention, men:  this is how you should not write to women you want to date! These from non-native speakers of English: "Greetings Hello Gorgeous, I am here for a true relationship,with totally commitment, that will hopefully end in marriage. although i know that every relationship start friends, after going through some profiles i find yours stand out from the rest, many things about you , your hobby, not to talk of your beautiful photos.   please feel free to reply me back." "You are a kind of a person that everyone will celebrate as friend, I want you to plz give room for my friendship,it will makes me feel...

The Future: evolution from humans into cyber-humans, transhumanism

I came across some interesting ideas on the future of mankind in a book about the supermodel Kate Moss, by Christian Salmon,* which featured this picture of her: Salmon says:   "In this image knocked together on the Internet, the visible body is fused with the written body.  The technique of morphing has created a written and coded cyborg-body.   The cyborg's stock of images expresses the ideal of limitless individual mutability beyond distinctions of gender, character, and species.”    He also writes:  “Fashion is experimenting with new relationships to the body, gender, and race.

Hateful "Christians"

Many people call themselves Christians but do not follow or obey God's laws in the Bible.  What are the most fundamental rules God gives us? 1.  Love the Lord your God with all your heart and mind and soul (Deuteronomy 6:5). 2.  Love your neighbour as yourself.  (Leviticus 19:18). Jesus said these are the two greatest commandments, and all God's laws and the writings of the prophets (the Old Testament of the Bible) - hang on these two commands.  (Matthew 22:34-40) Anybody, therefore, who calls themselves a Christian but is openly hateful towards others, is disobeying God and will be judged by God for this. This ATLAH church uses the Bible to defend its view that Jesus would stone "homos".  I have no idea how they could come to that conclusion from John 8:1-11.  This passage tells the story of Jesus and a woman caught in adultery.  The teachers of the Law brought this woman to Jesus, because they wanted to trap him.  They said to ...
