this muslim guy at work, he prays and everything. He pulled $40 and gave it to an old christian woman. he told her i will give you $40 weekly until you get over ur hard time.
he first did it in secret but everyone knew about it.

so it's ok to give charity to non-muslim who is poor?

seems these days black men seem to be more attracted to white women. This I think is just great , but is it because they are tired of playing mind games with women of there own race?

there once was a monkey keeper who fed his monkeys nuts. One day when he said, 'I'll feed you three in the morning, and four in the afternoon', the monkeys became furious.
"Well, then," he said, 'I'll feed you four in the morning, and three in the afternoon'and the monkeys were delighted.

ps : well i don't mean that we becoming like monkey.. but do you think that sometimes our mind trick us just like the story above..

three in the morning and four in the afternoon is just the same as four in the morning and three in the afternoon.. but sometimes we think it different, don't we ?? what do you think ?

People keep saying that being gay is normal so does that mean that being hetro-sexual is wrong?

Or are we doomed to repeat or past failures and mistakes? There are some religions that teach that man is evolving. Into what are we evolving? Thoughts? negative or positive. I won' t hate.

So, I'm not Christian. Seems like a glorified cult to me!
I like what Buddha said. Something along the lines of "do not just believe everything I say, think for yourself and find your own answers".
That's one cool line for a religion. Thinking for yourself.
Buddha was a teacher, not a dictator. God seems to be a dictator. He might have created me, but I don't have to do what he says. My mother gave birth to me but I don't have to agree with her on everything.

Jesus is worshiped as the son of god, as a part of the devine. his immage is reveared, and worshiped. He is a part of a trinity of devine beings worshiped by Christians, the farther, the son, and the holy ghost. How does this fit in with the number one of the 10 commandments. It sounds very much like a trinity of Gods each worshiped for their individual qualities, rather than 1.

You're probably right, for the most part, but who cares what religions the founders were. Let's remember what they were trying to do. They were trying to start a free country were religion and the government would not intwine with each other AT ALL. Saying that the US is a founded on God as an excuse to put up a cross or Ten Commandments in state-owned land takes away from the rights of non-Christians and is a dangerous start to a theocracy.

I don't want to live in a nation under god. I want to live in a nation under liberty, freedom and equal rights for all. We don't need to put god in the government to make it great.

there is no way all Jerusalem left the land.

if Jewish left the land thousands of years ago, how about those who remained on the land and did not go anywhere. should they have more right on the land than those who left it?

and the jewish of today are mix of Europeans, Russians, and other cultures.

I'm really new to this, yet today I've burned a few hours reading and answering questions (I tend to write long answers). Now I'm finding it hard to tear myself away. Short of dumping my coffee into my keyboard, shorting it out so I have to quit, I'm not sure if I can tear myself away. Yo, I don't want to find myself attending YAA meetings! A little support and feedback, constructive suggestions, or just make me laugh so hard that I spew coffee on my keyboard?

Seriously, isn't it perfectly logical that we should teach our kids to worship a punishing god and study a book of lies and deceit. And, hopefully they will grow up to be good christians and blow up abortion clinics and hate anyone who is different from them and force their beliefs on others. I would love that. Because I want to see this world collapse before my eyes and watch the christians have to answer for sending the USA spiraling into poverty and eventually be taken over by the next superpower. That would be way fun!

And, have fun with the reports, you know as well as I do that they do no good.

Do you think religios books (the Bible, Koran, etc.) should be taught in public school systems so the kids can be taught the historical value not the religous value?

There are more jewish people in New York than in the entire country of Israel, does that seem right? I do not believe any ethnic group should have a greater population here than in their own country.
