Society & Culture - 8 July 2006

Why is it that African Americans can be involved with things such as BET(Black Entertainment Television), and Black History month and it's ok but if someone were to develop a white history month or white entertainment television it would be racist. I do believe very strongly that racism exists today. Oppression is a vile, horrible thing but by having soley Black events and businesses etc. aren't African American people promoting differences and segregation instead of trying to promote that people of any race are equal? Isn't that the idea of ending racism? I have a Black friend that I have had this discussion with and she says I'm over simplifing things, but does it really have to be so complicated? If African Americans (or any other race) wan't to end racism it just doesn't make sense to me that they would promote segregation by segregating themselves.
I do not intend to offend anyone with this question and I apologize if my language isn't politically correct

Most volunteerism amounts to stuffing envelopes
which is not sufficiently engaging nor takes advantage of the vast expertise and acquired wisdom which goes to waste

What if instead of Jesus, Osiris is going to be the one judging us on the last judgment? What if Charon is the one that carries us to Hades? Or we just reincarnate?

If I am wrong then why do these thoughts of being beautiful and a goddess float up into my mind ? I feel like a portrait painted by Jesus. I feel so deeply confident and that I deserve this boy who is near me. Also, all my religious beliefs that have so upset others are not from any book at all...they all just come into my head as I worship....( like God is male/female, the moon is my sister, trees and animals have souls, etc ).....Why do they come up in my head then ?

He didn't write any books in the New Testament (At least not directly) and told the Apostles to teach all that He commanded. Are we to follow ALL the teachings of Jesus as passed down by the apostles (see 2 Thess 2:15, 1 Cor 11:2), or just the ones they wrote down (since they didn't start writing anything for decades)?

why do most christian churches teach that their religion is the only path to God and heaven? Is that not judging? With so many "judges" in the world, what do we need judgement day for? God should go on vacation.
