              Welcome, ye of hungry minds! I am the online Q & A Saint. I am here to answer those nagging mortal questions to the best of my beliefs and abilities. Have a question you'd like to have answered? Email me at: technosaint@canwetalk.com
 
                       

Why are we Here?
      This is one of the biggies... here it goes. As for why we are, I can't help but think that we are the butt of the great Darwinian joke as well as it's pride. We were just some monkeys with a defective gene and a bad attitude. On why we are here on Earth, I think it's so we don't totally obliterate the space we took up when were gone. I mean, cocky as we are, let's be honest: Even if we blow each other all to hell (pun not intended) and back, leaving the Earth a raging volcano, all will eventually calm down. The Earth will cool, new life will begin, and hopefully turn out better than the predecessors.
 
Why are Children Born Deformed or Mentally Handicapped?
          Same reason that this occurs in the animal kingdom: Genetic lottery. Say a man has a recessive gene for, let's say, dwarfism. That gene could be passed down through the generations only taking effect every couple of hundred years. It's not punishment, or "sins of the father", just a horrible rarity.
 
Why Do the Good Die Young?
               Ok. I would have to go with their energy is too pure for their current physical manifestation, and through death, escapes to another level. You know, classes of soul?
 
Why are A Majority of Men Emotionless Assholes?
        Well that's a matter of perception and social conditioning. Men are raised with these thoughts: Boys don't cry. Boys don't hit girls. Boys don't dance. Boys don't wear pink. Boys don't cook, clean, or do any "womanly" tasks. Need I explain further?
 
Why are a Majority of Women Overly Emotional and Clingy?
          Same reason in reverse: Girls shouldn't lift heavy things. The man should always pay for dinner. Girls should worry about being attractive. Girls should be popular. Women should know how to cook, clean, and do luandry so men don't. Again, must I go on?
 
Why Do We Worry More About the World's Poor Than Our Own?
          That's easy. It's like admitting defeat. To run things all over the globe, we must represent ourselves as the best things out there. By taking on the problems of other countries, we look charitable and well adjusted. That, and the fact that we are desensitzed toward poverty. People who use the system to lie and cheat us ruin it for those that do need us. Who hasn't heard "I won't give them money, they'll just spend it on booze!" Hello? They live on the street in boxes! I would need a good bit of alcohol myself.
 
How can Parents Abuse or Even Kill Their Children?
            It's all a matter of control. Through genetics, upbringing, and personal choice, these sadistic few try to fill a part lacking in themselves with the fear and control over the available resources: children. Some cases of abuse are cyclic in nature. A grown up abused as a child, to deal with that rage against what they grow up percieving as normal or good, turn the same abuse against their own children. Thus the cycle continues...
 
Why are There Child Molesters?
           See above answer.

Why do We Teach Our Hates and Prejudices to the Next in Line?
        Well, for some, it's what they believe. They honestly think what they are saying is good, and truthfull, and will ultimately help mankind. Others just grew up that way and don't know how else to think or act. Then there are the few. the annoying: those who hate anyone even slightly different than themselves. This very concept has been known to cause violence in even peacful circles.
 
What Happens When we Die?
             Well, we all have little tiny electrical pulses that run our brain, and therefore, our bodies. This electricity is what I believe is meant by the term the "soul". We know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, so use logic. When we die the electricity must go somewhere else. They go into other people,plants or sometimes manifest in beings known as "ghosts". Have you ever noticed that the devices used to detect them always deal with magnets or electricity? Hmmmmmm.......
 
Are There Soulmates?
        Well, statistically speaking, there has to be at least one other person who is exactly like you in every respect of personality compatibilty. That simple.
 
Is There a God?
     The only God is the sky, the only Goddess is the Earth. They are unaware, but have powerful influences on the way things work. The only other diety is....... the self. You know what is right and wrong for you: make your own commandments, sins, and rites. Damn him that try to stop you!
 
What About Abortion?
       I think it's acceptable up until the point of seperate brain function. Once the fetus develops a mind, it has a "soul" and thoughts/feelings. It would be like murder then.
 
What is Good, and What is Evil?
          All relative terms, my audience. Certain cultures accept as normal or righteuos thinngs that would appall another. Take for example child marriages. In many Eastern countries, it is tradition for children to be married to children of business partners or allies. These marriages can occur as young as the age of eight. In America, we would cringe at not having free choice of partner and at the young, indecisive ages.
