That bothers me so much! A couple of months ago I flew to Atlanta Georgia,to visit a sick friend.I went to this church and it had a lot of black people.While I was sitting I could hear people whispering saying stuff like this "why is there a white man in our church". I felt bad but then it made me realy angry when I asked some of my black freinds.They said the only people who know god is black people.Since then a lot of people have been saying that.I feel that anyone can know god no matter if your black,white,spanish,ect.

I went with my mom to the ER the other day because my baby sister had a 100.6 fever and for babies under 2 months, that can be dangerous. While we were there, the doctor mentioned that it doesnt matter how high or low a fever is, it doesnt tell you how sick the patient is. Is this correct? It seems like it could be right..but then again, if you were 120 degrees, you'd be dead. Someone please explain this madness to me.

If a nuclear device (even a dirty bomb) is used in a major U.S. city by terrorists that kills hundreds of thousands (possibly millions), what do you think the U.S. will do militarily and politically? How do you think U.S. citizens will react and feel about any aggression taken after? (NOTE: Only serious, honest and educated answers, please. Short, irrelevant answers will be reported.)

PARIS -- Al Fath Mosque is in a scruffy immigrant neighborhood not far from the neon-lit kitsch of the Pigalle district. On Friday afternoons, the mosque is jammed, and the overflow of worshippers spills into the streets.

Tourists who stumble on the scene reflexively reach for their cameras, struck by this unusual public manifestation of religiosity in a country where Christian belief has become passé.

In France and in almost every other European country, Christianity appears to be in a free fall. Although up to 88% of the French identify themselves as Catholic, only about 5% go to church on most Sundays; 60% say they "never" or "practically never" go.

But Islam is a thriving force. The 12 million to 15 million Muslims who live in Europe make up less than 5% of the total population, but the vitality of their faith has led some experts to predict that Islam will become the continent's dominant faith.

Princeton University historian Bernard Lewis, the dean of American Middle East scholars, flatly predicts that Europe will be Muslim by the end of this century.

George Weigel, a leading American theologian, frets about "a Europe in which the muezzin summons the faithful to prayer from the central loggia of St. Peter's in Rome, while Notre Dame has been transformed into Hagia Sophia on the Seine -- a great Christian church" will "become an Islamic museum."

Lewis and Weigel represent a trend among American thinkers who say they fear Europe's doom if it does not re-Christianize, and soon. Most European experts believe those fears are exaggerated.

France, with Europe's largest Muslim population, surely will be a test case.

A church in crisis

Little argument exists about the severity of the crisis facing the Catholic Church in France. In contrast with the vigorous (and masculine) face that French Muslims present to the world, a typical Sunday mass almost anywhere in France will feature an elderly priest preaching to a dwindling congregation of mostly elderly women.

"Mass is boring," said Odon Vallet, a religion professor at the Sorbonne. "The ceremony isn't very beautiful; the music is bad; the sermon is uninteresting. Mass is for people who have nothing else to do on a Sunday -- no sports, no hobbies, no shopping, no entertainment."

Islam is France's fastest-growing religion. But this is mainly a result of immigration patterns, not conversions. Most of the 4.5 million Muslims who make up about 7% of the French population are immigrants or the descendants of immigrants from former French colonies in north Africa and sub-Saharan Africa.

Global Islam is eager for converts. But in Europe, the situation is nuanced. According to Olivier Roy, a leading French scholar on Islam, Muslims in Europe would be happy for Christians to convert, while Christians merely want Muslims to become more secular.

While President George W. Bush proudly declares America "a nation of prayer," French President Jacques Chirac praises the virtues of French secularism. France developed a distinctly French notion of church-state separation more than a century ago in an attempt to curb the influence of the Catholic Church. Known as laicite, it allows all faiths equal status and ensures that all are equally divorced from the functions of the state.

Bruno Bourg-Broc, a deputy in the National Assembly and self-described committed Catholic, laments the erosion of the faith in France.

"We are a fundamentally Christian society," he said. "The landscape is formed of churches. It's part of our culture, our literature and painting." Whether people want it in the constitution or not, "we were formed in this way and should not be ashamed of it.

"The doctrine of Islam is to conquer and convert, and we must keep this in mind. I don't think there is a real risk here, but if it happens, it will be our own fault."

Hope for the future

Last year, when Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was elected pope and took the name Benedict, the patron saint of Europe, it was seen as a sign that he would refocus the church's energies on rebuilding the faith in Europe. The Vatican was heartened when a million young people turned out last August for World Youth Day in Cologne, Germany, and heard the new pope urge them to rediscover Europe's Christian roots.

Some experts also are encouraged on Christianity's behalf if only because things can't get much worse.

"If you are the type of person who buys stocks and bonds, I'd buy Christianity," said Vallet of Sorbonne. "The price now is very low, so I think it has to go up."

Other analysts believe Europe's future is neither Christianity nor Islam, but secularism. A pragmatic reading of the numbers suggests that not only will Christianity never regain its dominant cultural role but also that churchgoers will be forced to recast themselves as minorities or subcultures.

"Who truly thinks that Benedict XVI is the future of Europe?" said Roy, the Islamic scholar.

Tourists who stumble on the scene reflexively reach for their cameras, struck by this unusual public manifestation of religiosity in a country where Christian belief has become passé.

In France and in almost every other European country, Christianity appears to be in a free fall. Although up to 88% of the French identify themselves as Catholic, only about 5% go to church on most Sundays; 60% say they "never" or "practically never" go.

Lets have a tax payer revolt...when are we going to oust all the politicians currently in office? How do we let them stay? Major Oil Companies recording record profits - Exxon $33,000 a minute. Tax breaks given for exploration but nothing going on. Manufacturing jobs being lost. I say it is time to oust all incumbent politicians regardless of party and say ... "OK, listen to us and if you don't, you will be out next election". The only thing they care about is staying in office...not you, I or this country.

OK this is a survey. It seems there's a large discrepancy between different people about what is a good looking man. I think it will be very interesting to know different people's opinions. Please reply with the following:

1. Do you think he's hot? On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being best) how would you rate him?

2. Are you male or female?

3. Are you straight or gay?

4. What is your age group (under 20, 20-40, over 40)?

5. Which country are you from?
