It’s hard to imagine how rational, orderly human minds can be totally confused, not only without realizing it,but also while getting angry if their confusion is mentioned. Sometimes, we get a glimpse of how the culture of death is more concerned about imaginary problems than life.
Today, massive media concern emerged about the horrors of large containers of Pepsi and other soft drinks. Dire threats of “childhood obesity” were mentioned on every network’s morning show. Stern warnings were accompanied with the usual worries about “sugar addiction”, “unhealthful dietary habits”, and a host of other imaginary problems. These concerns were magically made public on a national scale immediately after the Mayor of New York announced his plan to make large containers of Coke, Pepsi, and similar drinks legally unobtainable.
On the same day, hundreds of unborn children were killed by abortionists in the area visible from the top of a New York skyscraper. Not one media person stopped talking about the dangers presented by large containers of Pepsi long enough to mention the tragic loss of a single one of those aborted young people.
It’s rarely as obvious as this that the culture of death has the ability to distract people with utter trivia while convincing them that the minor distraction is more important than life, itself.
The culture of death is more worried about Pepsi than life. We have to see through intentional sham and focus on life to save our souls.
Sure. Now, each muslim courtny has its own wedding traditions. So Egyptians are different from the Moroccans who are different from the Iranians and different from the Iraqis. You said his family are strict, so I’m guessing it’s not going to be a mixed (men and women) wedding. But you still can have a mixed wedding. First, the wedding gown should not be too revealing if it’s going to be mixed. Look for something that doesn’t show your cleavage and back. Usually, the women would gather first in the ballroom, dancing, singing and congratulating the groom’s and bride’s mothers and immediate families. The bride then would enter the ballroom, she walks slowly to where she’s supposed to sit which a little stage with two chairs, one for the groom and the other for the bride. Once she gets their, the wedding guests would continue dancing and start taking photos with the bride. After an hour or so, the groom would enter the ballroom, accompanied with his male relatives (his father, brothers, uncles, and some close friends) and also her male relatives (her father, brothers, uncles). They would walk him all the way to the stage where he’s supposed to sit next to you. Once he get on the stage, he would lift your white vail, and kiss you on your forehead. And then all the men would line up to kiss him and congratulate him. His father is most certainly allowed to kiss you on the cheek. Then the men would dance together celebrating the end of the single-life for the groom, whilst the women clapping and singing along. Now, some less strict families would allow the men to remain in the ballroom until the end of the wedding, others will not. Once they bring in the cake, the bride and groom would cut it together, you must have one bite. Cutting the cake is usually the end of the wedding. They’ll then hold each other hands and walk together to leave the ballroom to their hotel room accompanied with their relatives who would clap and sing. P.S I’m half Iraqi, by the way.
