Other than Buddhism, Wicca (and other forms of paganism), and progressive religions like UUism, I've yet to find any. Why do you think this is?

Between the wars in Iraq & Afganistan and the recent violence in Israel and Lebanon, it seems we are content to solve political conflicts with brutal force. As a society, we are numb to the horrors of warfare. Human suffering doesn't seem to register in the calculations of the political establishment. Granted, the problems the world faces are vast... But unless we simply refuse war and violence as the status quo, we further human suffering by perpetuating violence in the name of nation or in the name of fighting terrorism or in the name of defending Israel, etc....

I know some people will call me a racist and say stuff like "how does a black person act" but you know exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm trying to open my mind but how do I get past the wanna-be-hip-hop-gangsta-rap-star

I'm trying to relate and not hate.

Remember...before the writings...no-one had ever read them - they did NOT exist. So from the point of view of someone living then....what did they believe?

Indeed.....where did the writers get their information? Since there was no such knowlege before...and why do so-many people still believe this account of history when it's origin is so tenuous?

Are both to blame for the conflict, or is it one side that started and the other one defending itself? If so, who started?

How many of you, also, are perfectly normal looking girls, but not getting any dates, etc., because you're considered the local Brainiac?

I guess after all these years I'm STILL p*ssed off that I never had any dates...not even to the Prom, just because I never learned to squeal or jump up and down when a guy looked at me, and I read Time and Scientific American instead of Style or Self.

Just want to know if there are any other unfortunate female nerds, geeks, etc. who get supercharged grades, but spend a lot of quiet evenings at home...ugh.

Feel free to add very horrible detail, I'm sympathetic.

i have too many to mention, but one of the worst is when i went to have a haircut, and i really didnt like it, i let the the stylist know, and was really huffy and snotty about it, and flounced out of the salon. i was wearing high heeled boots and as i was waiting to cross the road outside i lost my footing and just collapsed in a heap on the pavement, in full view of everyone in the salon. god just thinking about how they must all have laughed at me makes me go red even now...

Thousands of Embryo's are destroyed every year at fertility clinics. Why do you only seem to bomb or protest at abortion clinics?

in Revelation, would that mean for the day when he comes back, or did He mean watching & praying over your SOUL?

Throughout history, continuing to present day, darker skin color is associated with lower social status. The darker your skin, the less money you are likely to make statistically.

So why is it that pale white people go to tanning salons and pay money to have their skin artificially darkened?
