Seems to me that America is a whole bunch of contradictions: Holier than thou christians - half naked mtv stars. Rough rednecks - sophisticated citydwellers. Military men - new age people. Lots of junk food - slimming fanatics. And so on... I'm not saying it's bad, but why do you think it is like that?
p.s. I'm from Denmark.

Why do we justify every single crime the white race committs against others. We need to stop blaming others for what we know our people did? We brush it off lightly when we committ a crime against others but, if that same crime was committ against them it's not justified. We complian about paying our taxes to others, but what if you paid your whole paycheck for the rest of you life to others. That nonsense to you, but not nonsense when our forefathers did the same thing.

I often watch my children interacting with one another and it seems as if being selfish just comes naturally. I certainly didn't teach them to not want to share or want the best for themselves and care less what is left. Being one with a heart full of compassion I actually find it very hard to be selfish and often feel guilty when I do finally take a stand and display a bit of selfishness. I also have a strong suspiscion that it could be a gender issue.hmmm...maybe - maybe not. Whatever the case may be selfishness is definitely encouraged the older we become as society tells us it is acceptable step on or to use others as we make our way to the top - unfortunately at the top is a lonely and artifical place. The love of money is the root of all evil - Some may misunderstand and think that we should be against being prosperous - NOT SO just don't fall in love with making money - you will never be able to satisfy the insatiable appetite.

your preacher always refers Yahew when speaking of God, so I can't figure out if you believe in Jesus or not. Does Yahew believe that there is a son and only through him you can reach the father?

hi,

I am coming back to Christ after being "in the dark" for awhile;)

One of the habits "while away" I have picked up (mainly through personal/buddhist/beliefs) is not to eat animals. I feel it is wrong-period.

I have had pressure from Christians "God says eat meat" etc etc and I feel like I have to eat meat because God says so. But i must say i feel sick every time.

Doesn't Gods' commandment "thou shall not kill" appy to animals? It is a commandment after all-do not kill !!!!!

yes there is the argument Christians do not kill the actual animal-that is not what I want addressed here. (respectivly)

So can Christian vegetarians supply some support for me; or others some conventional wisdom?

Thanks !!!

Do the virgins in paradise have brains? Do they have free will? What if a virgin doesn't like the martyr she is assigned to. Are the virgins able to think for themselve's? Do they have opinions? It seems to me if they do not have these qualities they are not human. Are they basically robot virgins? What "real man" wants a robot?

I thought that NAMBLA (North American Man-Boy Love Association) was just something made up by South Park, but I just googled it, and I think there might be a real NAMBLA out there. Please tell me I'm a naive idiot and that these sites are just fake.

i have veritible proof.
In the Holy Quran, it says "God created the earth and seven heavens". This was revealed over 1400 years ago, when science was not as advanced as it is today. Science recently proved that the atmosphere is divided into seven layers.
WOW. There is your proof!!! :-) I seriously swear God exists! These facts don't just happen, this is complete proof.

peace on earth!

I mean without bringing up religions, that they don't believe in. Or Souls, that they deny. Or love that they can't quantify. Or sin, that they've never seen, or done.

Look at the question from the religion and spirituality section and see how they disagree with what the bible has to say when it's their own lifestyle in question.

Many "white" people can be as dark as so called "Hispanics" (examples: Greeks, southern Italians, Portuguese, some Jews, Armenians).
Some Hispanics can be as white as an average white person.
Why are Hispanics seperated?
