response to Laura Laureano's can virtue be taught?

Can virtue be taught? First of i would like to say that i do agree with Laura's post. I agree with her because I feel as though virtue is something that you are born with. I also agree with her in that people choose not to pay attention to it and do wrong things for the wrong reasons. I also feel like it can be taught, because you can teach someone who uses it the wrong way to use it the right way.

Is it any of our business?

Over the years celebrities, athletes and anyone else who's under the public’s watch has been abused by the media if they have done something wrong in their personal lives. The question I'm asking is this right? It's been happening for decades and is only getting worse as the media grows. One of the biggest and most recent victims of this is Tiger Woods. Is what he did wrong? Yes. Is it any of our business? I'm not sure, in one sense it is his personal life and what he does off the golf course and away from the media show be kept private, but in another sense he is suppose to be a role model to kids and he is a big public figure, and some people will say that you can't just hide this kind of information from the public if he is going to be a role model and doing all of his commercials.
There have been many different types of cases just like this one. The head coach of the Louisville men’s basketball team has also been caught cheating on his wife, not has a extreme as Tiger Woods but still got caught and was made public by the media. Now he will always have that hanging over him and the whole world knows. Lots of people’s lives have been affected by the media just like this, is it alright for the media to do this just because they are dealing with famous people or is it wrong?

repsonse to non christian joining christian church

In response to kolby's non christian joining christian church post i feel as though a person can be a christian to a certain extent. A christian is someone who does good deeds or God' work. God's work consists of doing good, helpful things for others, such as building homes for people who have lost theirs or helping feed the hungry. Anyone can do things like this, so considering this part of being a christian Robert Jenson could do this. The other part is believing in God, which Robert Jenson doesn't so therefore i fell as if he isn't a full christian, but doesn't mean he cant consider himself one and do good things for others.

True love

Many people say that you only have one true love. People search their whole lives looking for their "one true love". But is there only one true love in every ones life's or can you have more than one true love in your live? True love can be anyone where depending on who you are. You can have true love for baseball or any other sport, it doesn't to be the person you love from the opposite sex, you can have more than one true love in your life's, whether its your husband or wife or if its your mother and father, brothers and sisters, sports and anything else that makes you truly happy in life.

Life After Death?

Ever since I was a young child death has been a mystery to me. As we grow up, many things in our lives come and go, including family, pets, and friends. When we lose these close objects in our lives we often believe they go to a better place. Many of us believe this because of our religion and the way we have been raised. But who is to say there is life after death? Many religions express their thoughts through heaven and hell. If you live life the "right" way according to your religion, you will be excepted. If you live your life full of sin you will be punished and live your afterlife in a negative place. Who even knows what happens after life? There is no scientific proof to whether or not there is a negative or positive place to live after death. With that said what we believe happens after life is completely up to inner beliefs.

Smells

There are many smells in our world but what makes certain smells smell bad or smell good? I think we can all agree that flowers, a BBQ, and the smell of a new car all smell good to us. But other smells such as garbage, BO, old shoes, and rotted food all smell bad. But what makes these things smell bad or good? Does a BBQ smell good because you know that burgers and hot dogs are being cooked or does it just smell good. Does garbage smell bad because you know there is a bunch of nasty stuff is in there? Is it all in our minds that make certain items smell good or do these things just smell good?
