I agree with another question someone brought up here...
for me it's when a man of another race tries to pick you saying things like this...
hola mamacita
one hot tamale
bonita seniorita
it's more insulting than anything and a turn off,which brings me to my question...
what's the worst c'mon or pick up you have had?

When I was in high school I was given the nickname Foz for Fozzie Bear from the Muppets. When I got to college I thought, I can finally ditch this crazy nickname....but....yup.... some guy there thought I was funny and chose Foz as my nickname. I never told anyone in college that was my nickname in high school until AFTER it was given to me in college.
My name is Preston. A friend of mine noticed that I was down one day and started calling me DEpreston. That was 15 yrs. ago. Today, for no apparent reason, and I am not even depressed in any way, shape or form, a friend at work called me Depreston.
Is it destiny? Coincidence? The ball's in your court.

-Jesus considered the Gentiles inferior beings: "It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs." (Matthew 15:26)
-and stated unequivocally that he was NOT sent to them: "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (Matthew 15:24)
- He, the Prince of Peace, came to bring not peace but a sword: "I came not to send peace, but a sword." Matthew 10:34
- He came to bring division and strife: "Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you nay; but rather division!" Luke 12:51
-If any man come to me and HATE NOT his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and his own life also, he CANNOT be my disciple!" Luke 14:26
-Whoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whoever has NOT, from him shall be taken away even what he has!!" Matthew 13:12.(sounds like today!)
-Jesus taught us to love our enemies [(Matthew 5:44)
-but in another passage said: "but those mine enemies,] which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither and slay them before me!" Luke 19:27.

Even Jesus used this greeting. The Jews say Shalom and Muslims say WaSalaam Aleikum. I think those are very noble practises.

Why do we just greet each other with the words "hello" or "Good day", etc?


Peace be upon you!(that feels good to say) :-) Veritas

I ask this as one who has studied the Bible (I was in Seminary) and questions the validity and motives of those who profess to it's teachings yet are vile both in word and in their deeds when it comes to others who are different. The truth of the Bible is in its message of Love but has sadly been co-opted by Fundementalists and Radicals who like those who co-opt Islam, have turned it into a book of Hate. At this point please, I would ask that only legitimate responses be offered, no selective quotes, no accusations of not understanding the book and most importantly, please do not use the King James Version as your reference given that the books' name reveals its' invalidation (it is a 'Version' not the real deal). One other point, I think the Bible is a great book, a worthy guide to living and loving, but sadly I believe it is being used to harm.

I know I'll get a lot of remarks, but hear me out. I have a theory that there could be a "science" to "faith" Maybe faith is an ingenious plot to see our true self. Example. Poker game. Teacher tells 2 students "I've gave you the book on how to play cards, now it's time for you to take over from here" Student A takes what he learns from the book and makes a "conclusion" that 4 aces lie in his unshown hand, and makes a bet. In the next hand the teacher shows the Student B the 4 Aces he has, and the student makes a bet on what he saw with his own eyes.
Which student deserves the money the most? The one who bet on "faith" or the one who bet on what was proven?
My belief is that Christians, when asked about how things began, answer with "Because it just is, and God did it " and Atheists answer with "We can't prove there is a God, so there must not be one" What do you think?

You say that all mankind are sinners, it is hard for me to believe that (How can you say that Newborn babies Thousands who die before reaching the age of five Because of diseases in Many poor African countries are sinners)
Anyhow you believe that all mankind are sinners on the Hypothesis of Two persons
Known as Adam & Eve who committed a sin millions of years ago and we are all their descendents and hence some how we carry their legacy of sins

·First Adam and Eve were normal human beings, they were not supernatural, and how many kids could they have produced in those times, remember in the past average human life expectancy or life was around 35 years, so the belief that they traveled around the world and gave birth to different children in different continents can be easily debated.
·Secondly were Adam and Eve White, Black or Multiracial, How can you explain So many different Races of people being off springs of Adam and Eve who are generally depicted and believed to be White.(did they give Birth to Chinese ,Asian ,African and European predecessors)
·Thirdly this is the most important argument, In modern times we have discovered DNA Testing, Anybody can easily identify any persons relatives (father, brother, sister etc) If we all were descendents of common parents and Evolution was lies than all of us would have a similar DNA Come now No Black man is related to a White man on purely biological DNA testing.(many Muslims marry with their cousins, Genghis Khan & his son Who Raped so many women more than 6% of people bearing his Y Chromosome ,come do we all bear a same chromosome
We should all be bearing Adams Chromosome)
Don’t give me religious Quotations and don’t say have faith, or else I Will say eat my ****, have faith you will become immortal

Just a simple argument will suffice

Where exactly does morality come from if not from God? If there is a universal right and wrong, where does the line cross?
