I always hear from white people, "I eat lunch with white people because it is just that we are like each other, we have the same social circles and raise that way." What they are blind to see is that, white people is unaware that colored people have to deal with all the whities at work, because you just can't avoid them everywhere, but that white people don't have to socialize with colored because whities are everywhere, so whitie is born and raised never having a need to deal with colored people. Hence, they don't need to, and have a "fear" and "us" vs. "them" mentality which does transfer over to who will get promoted. People of like compatibility is helped, those percieve not, does not. So whitie is racist, regardless of their denial. Just ask yourself, the workplace is mixed, but whitie will not ask blackie to go drink after work. Whitie will only talk to colored if they need something from them in some practicle and convenient way, including its about money.

I work with this guy at a steakhouse and he is my age and the nicest most caring guy I have ever met. He is always helping me out and when we see eachother our eyes just "click" and "lock" for about 5 seconds. I just melt when I see him. He will touch my shoulder a lot and joke around even with the language barrier. He is learning English and I am learning Spanish so we can communicate some, and it will only get better once we learn more. I am afraid because I am really falling hard for this guy and I am worried I'll only end up hurt in the end because I feel that this hurdle is too big and this could never work out. First of all do you think he is interested in me? Also, my family thinks I'm being naive and silly to like this guy, and my friends think I should go for it. What do y'all think having an unbiased opinion?? I want to just let this go and forget about it but our connection is just insane and he's really unforgettable. Should I pursue this or get over it? Thanks GB!

Judaism teach that God can not come in human form and that the Messiah has not come. Islam teaches that God has no son, when the scriptures openly state that they are a Deciever a LAIR and a AntiChrist.

1Jo 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth NOT that Jesus The Messiah is come in the flesh is NOT of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist..."
and the ESV states "This is the DECIEVER and the ANTICHRIST."

1Jo 2:22 Who is a LIAR but he that denieth that Jesus is the Messiah? He is a AntiChrist...

So are these scriptures referring to Judaism and Islam why or why not?

My studies and research shows that religious people are not exactly rocket scientists, they tend to be below average intelligence, and also have a tendency to be more violent than non-believers. In some cases, the more violent the person, the more religious they are. I suspect that the vast majority of religious people are well below average intelligence.

I wonder if trying to improve the intellectual standard of our global community, would help remove the various religions from our culture, and thereby improve happiness and peace for humanity.

I have a lil story, um so there is this guy who came to my workplace, and asked what my name was and he told me his name, next time i worked he stopped by and apologized stating he lied about his name, instead of being more annoyed, i said it was cool it and gave him a free lemonade..ever since then we talked and saw each other, and we always hanged out and i started to like him. I never thought that this type of person actually existed. He would indirectly express his feelings and obviously he deeply cared about me...well, there was this one night where he said, " I like you and Im attracted to you" and he leaned in for the kiss, but you know what i did? i leaned back and i dont know why, i wanted to kiss him, but he caught me off gaurd and that was my impulsive reaction, i guess i got scared and i have been thinking a lot about it, and i just cannot come to a conclusion...does he like or is just lust?

Now before anyone gets mad at me for being blasfamous, i just want to let everyone know that im a religious person who doesent question GOD.
But i like for arguments sake, is it possible that we were created by otherworldly beings.
This stems from research people have done of ancient civilization and found that many of them refer to otherworldly creatures as their creators.
Could it be possible that these creators still watch over us and instituted "supernatural" powers to people like jesus, moses, mohammed, etc to form an established religion just as an experiment with God being a symbolic figure they put in to see what are notion of him would be and see how willfully we would submit to a believe that has never been seen but only acknowledged? (damn i sound like an atheist)
I just find it an interesting notion that maybe everything we are being taught is a lie just to test our reactions.

I really doubt God sometimes like I feel like he's a fairytale. His book (the bible isn't real it was written by humans) =S but other times I'm brought to tears just praising his name..is this common? Is it right?

Let us look at what GOD Almighty Said to the Jews in the Bible:

"`How can you say, "We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?' (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"

The Revised Standard Version makes it even clearer: "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie. (From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"

In either translation, we clearly see that the Jews had so much corrupted the Bible with their man-made cultural laws and fabrications, that they had turned the Bible into a lie! See Also Deuteronomy 31:25-29 where Moses peace be upon him predicted the corruption/tampering of the Law (Bible) after his death. The Book of Moses predicted that the Law (Bible) will get corrupted. The Book of Jeremiah which came approximately 826 years after did indeed confirm this corruption

Me and him are very close. Known each other for four years, since I was 10 and he 11. Just this month he has started to described me as a "cute lovable little kitten-like person". He does not do it to be mean, you can by the look in his eyes when he says that.

Is something wrong with me then perhaps?

Time after time, I see that there is no interest in giving true customer service anymore. Seems most corporations are set up to have no accountability and only want to take your money, and give nothing in return. What hapened to "do what yousay, and say what you are going to do"? The pitiful shame of it is that unless a person has an education in EVERY subject known to man, there is no choice but to deal with this lack of integrity. I refuse to live my life trusting no one, however I continue to get ripped off. Anyone got any suggestions how to return honor to business, short of going postal?

SHOTGUN
I fully understand the shotgun in my pillow
Is no uncarved block at hand
Life is sweet but not it seems for Buddha
There's a shotgun in his hand

Shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, shotgun

The nature of uncarved blocks
Is how to describe what's hard to describe
Yeah

The simplest things, the quietest
The child-like simplicity
Everything I need to hear
Positive the way I view
The simple of thought inherit the earth (shotgun blows)
Like Winnie the Pooh, confucianist rules (shotgun blows)
Oblivious in what I do (oh)
Deliberate the way I live (shotgun blows)

(Shotgun blows, shotgun blows, oh, shotgun blows)(Shotgun blows, shotgun blows, oh, shotgun blows)

The nature of uncarved blocks
Is how to describe what's hard to describe
Vinegar taster says
The more force I apply, more trouble I make
(Is that I cannot describe why it is
Such a perfect illustration of the opposite and
Complex arrogance we display to protect one another)
Think too much, think too much
