I had a situation wher my boyfriend and one of my good friends got into a confrontation. She started calling him out of his name, etc. He sat and ingnored her for a while. Then she said something about me and my ex, which is his first cousin. He flipped. He went over to her and grabbed her. It wasnt long. Then he let her go and walked out of the room to try to calm down. Then she followed him and started punching him and slapping him. He didn't do anything at first, but attempt to block her blows. Then she must've hit him too hard because he punched her once in her jaw. She fell backwards on the floor like dead weight and was unconsciencious. He immediately walked out the building repeating how sorry he was. The ambulance was called for her because she was bleeding out of her mouth and her head. He went and turned himself in. So the question I am asking you is was he entirely wrong because his reflexes took over him or was it not even reflexes and he was just wrong?

Help us nontheists understand. Is there something that you prayed for that happened that can not be explained and could only have been God?

Something in your own life?

Please I beg you, what example is there that you have, help us understand we are so desperate to have a personal relationship with God and many of us have prayed but most of what has happened we see causes for that can be explained that were not God or angels.

Please please, I really want to know God. Please help me I so want to know which prayers were answered that could only be God that could have no other non-God explanation.

Please give us hope that we might truely know!

About an hour ago I asked a question about what women thought about naturalized americans. Most of the responses argued that as long as a Mexican is naturaliezed, paying taxes, and asimilating the culture, they shoyuld be accepted into the maintream culture. However, how can you tell one mexican from another? Would you treat them any different? Would you need to know their background first? Should Mexican then wear a tag that says, educated naturalized immigrant, illegal immigrant, 1st generation american and so on in order to be trated politely? Is differentiated treatment right? What should you do?

If beleiving in him is so important, why doesn't he have a better way to get his word out? The bible is a book. It's written word. It can be translated any way by anyone to fit their interests. Why doesn't he guide us by different means? What about illiterate people? What did they do? There were tons of people who couldn't read in the past centuries.

Also another semi-personal question/rant. You know you love them^_^
My mother and I converted to Judaism when I was 8. Apparently she found out that my great-grandfather on her side of the family was jewish, so she wanted to "get back to her roots." I really don't have a problem with that. Hannukkah kicks a$$, I love latkes, and Yiddish has lots of neat words like "chutzpah" and "schlep". ^_^ (side note: I consider myself agnostic as of right now)
Whenever a white Jewish person asks me what my religion is(I go to a Jewish college), I never get any negative responses. It's always, "Oh, cool!..."and so it becomes a great conversation starter. On the other hand, when a black person asks me, I get a confused, then angry look from them, and they inform me, "You can't be Jewish! Jews are white!" I usually let it roll off my back, but I am tempted to drag them to the nearest computer and pull up the wiki article on famous black Jews. So, my question is: What's the deal? (seinfeld voice off)

Why do Muslims keep parroting this Christian-hate propaganda? Whats their motive?

Hitler "hoped to destroy Christianity" http://www.nationalreview.com/shiflett/shiflett012102.shtml

Why do Muslims never source any of their "claims"? Ever notice that, for example, a Muslim below named "YahooRFacist" claims Hitler was a Christian, and never sources his claim. His proof, that Hitler was a Christian, is the assertion that baby Hitler was bapatised Catholic...and as we all know, if someone is born Catholic, well, they are sure to stay Catholic forever and ever because we all keep the religion our parents gave us...right!!

"Christianity is an invention of sick brains: one could imagine nothing more senseless, nor any more indecent way of turning the idea of the Godhead into a mockery.Let's be the only people who are immunised against the disease. http://www.answers.org/apologetics/hitquote.html
