Some say yes, some say no, what do you think?

Does God know the future? Is it as fixed as the past? Do I have the ability to alter what God already knows will happen? If I can't change what is inevitable, am I to blame and worthy of hell? If God knows the future already, doesn't this limit his own free will to do as he pleases now as well? When was this course of events decided uopn by him? What was his will before that? Why would he ever change his will if it was already his perfect? If he was able to change his will then, why can't he now? If his will has always been his will and will always be his will, doesn't he have his own hands tied just as much as we do?

Self-contradiction and has a tendency to open Pandora's Box.

In my high school Bible class (I went to a christian school), we often got into this discussion. I would like to hear your opinions: In Genesis 1:1-2 the Bible says: "(1)In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (2)And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Okay, we always thought that this indicated a major gap of time between verses 1 and 2. Why? Well because why would God create the earth, and then put nothing on it ("...without form, and void..."). We saw this as an indication of another civilization that God created before us, and then destroyed, as will happen to THIS world someday. So between the 1st and 2nd verses there could be centuries and centuries of time not recorded, maybe because God didn't want us to know too much about it. Then it picks up again with: "And the earth was without form and void..." because the previous civilization had been destroyed. We never delved too deeply into this, as my Bible teacher felt he didn't have enough information to back up his theory, but I think it is very interesting, and I would like to know what you all think.

Why have so many people in the west (both europe and the U.S.) turned to eastern religions like Buddhism, Taoism... and the like. And embraced such methods like Zen diets, meditations, and yoga?

What are your thoughts. Don't critique the religions... I want to know why westerners have turned to the eastern religions. What do those religions offer that the western religions (Judaism, Christianity, etc) don't offer.

Do you get mad when you see a white woman with a black man? Or a black woman with a white man? How do you feel when you see people on television, or even walking down the street, kissing or holding hands and aren't the same race?

How many of you believe masturbation is good, fun, exciting, and okay, as opposed to it being wrong, sinful, and ugly?

Why do you feel the way you do?

It is more widely accepted for black people to say that white people can't dance, then a for a white person to say all black people do is eat fried chicken. If a white person made a stab at me or my family, black people I know would be up in arms. Somehow, it's okay, though many would say it's not (so why is it happening?), to say that white people don't have rhythm. It's all wrong, so why are the rules bent for black people?

Recording a workout disk with French theme for Bastille Day. Looking for modern (rock, pop, etc.) connected with France - about France, the French, things French, with French lyrics (even just a phrase or two, as in Beatles' "Michelle"), or by French or francophone artists.

Please, no lame jokes about freedom fries or how the U.S. saved their sorry tails or that they are Saddam lovers, blah blah blah. Not looking for a political discussion - just asking for songs and artists.

By the way, Celine Dion does not count.

Thanks!
