Don't you know that the Church, centuries ago, developed the first institutions of higher learng? ...developed the first hospitals? ....funded some of the greatest artwork of the ages? What has Islam given us besides 9/11? What has atheism given us besides Castro and Stalin? What is wrong with you people that attack Christianity? Have your minds become so twisted that you don't know the difference between right and wrong anymore?

It seems a familar theme, that many people after going through a rough time in their lives, end up going to church and finding Jesus to be their Lord & Savior. I was just wondering how many people here, turned to a different source. How many people became Jews, or Muslims or Hindu or Buddhist etc...
You don't have to say what your lifestyle was before you converted or refound your religion just wondering, how many decided to be a non-Christian.

High ranking Government officials get free healthcare for themselves and their families...FOR LIFE !

So when they debate about a national healthcare system...they are really only talking about you and me.

Fact of the matter.... the US does not have the best healthcare system in the world... i'm not talking about cost..i'm talking about quality. We rank 37th according to WHO. Most of the countries that beat us, have national healthcare.

Also, if you shy away from the idea, because you don't want to pay for immigrants or the uninsured's healthcare... you should know that you already do pay for it through your taxes and your inflated insurance premiums. When you sick you have to go to the hospital regardless of whether or not you have insurance....the hospital incurs cost because they get stiffed by insurance companies and the uninsured...and that cost get's passed on to other insurance carrier's and the federal government. This is why one tylenol costs $50 at the hospital.

hate to break it to you, but if you get your opinons from a talking head on the radio or television, you are an imbecile, this goes for liberals out there too. It just seems more prevalent with the consevative side of the aisle.

My mom is engaged to her boyfriend of 3 years...
my sisters and the rest of our family all hate him.
My mom divorced our dad to be with him..
and cheated on our dad with him.
I'd say 60% of my family's problems come from him and my mothers relationship.
The sad part is my mom isn't in love with him.
She constantly complains about him and she never wants to talk about their wedding.
When she has been drinking she doesnt even want to talk about him.
I'm not completely sure why they are together but I'm pretty sure it's for the extra money...
because there is really no other reason for her to stay with him....

So.. my question...
What can I say to my mom to show her she can do better and doesn't have to marry him and we can be fine together...her a me and my sisters...?
We don't have a good relationship so it's hard to talk to her about this kinda stuff.
Also...my mom has had like 3 boyfriends in her life and she married the first 2 and is engaged to the 3rd one.
HELP!

When Arabs were the first outside enslavers of African people? They imported and exported African slaves all around the ancient world, created eunuchs by cutting off the entire genitalia of little boys for the purposes of homosexual sex-slaves, and even today, in places like Sudan and Mauritania, they still run the black slave trade all throughout Saudi and other Muslim countries.

I note many of them in my family (converted muslims) are quick to talk about the "white man" and Christians, but the Christians freed their slaves here in America and the British colonies while the Muslims still had it going on...still to this day.

Also, I'd like to know how some feel Islam is the "Black" man's religion? How so? Has anyone researched the pagan roots of most African tribes PRE Islam? Most tribes were Animists and worshipped the Ancestors and a Supreme Being or deity.

Just curious?

The reason why I am asking this is because priest numbers in the catholic church has been falling for a number of years and something has to be done to boost the numbers or the church will die. I think allowing a priest to marry isn't taking anything away from the church or its parish I am a catholic and proud and I have no objections to my local priest being married. In other churches other clergy are married and it works for their churches. Didn't I read somewhere that earlt on in the catholic church history catholic priest were allowed to marry. I maybe wrong. In fact in the eastern catholic have long since allowed married people to become priest why not the roman catholic church.

Okay, The first day of my last period was June 28, I have a 30-31 day cycle.

I got a VERY VERY light home pregnancy test on Monday, went to the doctor that same day, got a VERY light positive, they gave me a blood test (I was 3.2 weeks preggo from last period) and I went back in today and he said it hcg was really low (14) and wants me to go back in a week to retest, so I went home and took another HPT, and it was a little darker than it was monday, is that a good sign?? If I was losing the baby wouldnt it be lighter than it was monday??

Thanks!! Be nice Please!! :)

Yea..um.. If any of you look at my questions they might seem racist to whites, but im not being racist coz im just angry and frustrated about the past! but thats it? the past is noting to be dewelling over it just gets people angry. So from now on i am no longer gonna be asking questions about race, or human background that would offend anyone, i admit i dont know everything about history so that is way i was asking these questions but people got the wrong idea.
I think we could all make a vow not to dwell in the past and think about slavery or any of the crazy stuff anymore because it just causes hate. And if we all make that vow then there probally would be alot less hate on answers. If you dont undertstand anything look in a history book - thats my lesson.
