Just think about it - today, in America, we have citizens from all over the world. After they have declared their citizenship, they should be, simply, Americans. Most of the people who claim to be "African-Americans" have never been to Africa, don't know anyone in Africa, and, because of the mixture of races and cultures in America, don't even know if any of their ancesters even came from Africa. All they know is that they have dark skin. So what? So do Egyptians, Hawaiians, East Indians, and a score of others. Hawaiians also have kinky hair.
Just because I am olive skinned and have curly hair, people assume that I am African-American. I was an orphan. No one knows my origins. I am just an American.
I would like to claim ALL of my origins (if I ever find out what they are), but I will still be JUST American. It's silly (and humanly impossible) to be two things at once.

A long time ago, but not as long ago as scientists say, God decided to drown everyone on earth because men and women were wicked in heart and their thoughts were continually evil and primetime TV hadn’t been invented yet to capitalize on all of it.

But Noah found favor with God because other than his drinking problem, Noah was squeaky clean. Also Noah had a large family who were all very fertile and full of love so God knew they could repopulate the whole earth in no time.

So God told Noah that even though he was going to kill all of the humans, he wanted to save the skunks, the houseflies, the sharks, the rattlesnakes, the scorpions, the spiders, etc… so Noah was to build a large Ark and march millions of species onboard from all over the earth so they will be saved from the flood.

i was up all night. every one else in the house was asleep. i live in a fairly compact apartement except for a hall that leads to the front door. after my mom woke up we were both walking around and we would have seen someone near the door. at one point my mom looked at the door and saw that it was wide open.
we leave it locked at night. one of the locks can only be opened from the inside or with a key. i didn't open the door and my mom didn't open the door. the button that keeps the door knob from being turned from the outside was disabled.
there was no one in the house even though it couldn't have been open for more then a minute. anybody who tried to sneak in and left would have made noise moving that fast in a house they didn't know.

Okay,

Being and though we never completely understand other religions I would like for everyone to share something about their religion that others don't know, don't understand don't comprehend.

This is for everyone, even atheists. Maybe give your reason for being what you are or what ever. But we need to learn how to overcome our own ignorance and to get knowledge.

When I met him this girl "his friend" was like "oh he's so gay" but everytime we are together, he does not act like it. He talks about ex girlfriends, and future wife ect.... But maybe some of the comments he makes I wouldn't expect from a straight guy, like " talking about a celebrity being bisexual, and then trying to convince" We have been friends for about 5 mo and gotten really close, but I feel like I should have said something from the beginning. I tried to like there were these guys staring @ me and he said something. Im like No, they're staring @ you. And he cussed me out, so I was thinking he might jus tbe a feminine male?? It really doesnt matter but........I just feel it is wrong to decieve in relationships, say for instance he becomes involved with a female, but is bi and messing with guys. That is WRONG if he is not letting both know up front. Also I never asked him anything about that or even felt like that was an issue to us being friends

The primary leaders of the founding fathers of the USA were not Bible-believing Christians; they were deists including:

George Washington
Benjamin Franklin
Thomas Jefferson
James Madison
Thomas Paine
Ethan Allen
James Monroe

Thomas Jefferson believed Jesus was an inspired moral teacher, but not divine. He called the Trinity: “Incomprehensible jargon” and “metaphysical insanity.”

Benjamin Franklin wasn’t sure if Jesus was God or not, but said he didn’t plan to spend time worrying about it.

Thomas Paine called Christianity: “a fable, which, for absurdity and extravagance is not exceeded by anything that is to be found in the mythology of the ancients.”

so um...when Christians manufacture lies to make themselves look better, how is it possible to enter heaven?

We can't pray or read Bible stories so why should we be able to talk of witches and their beliefs- it seems like a double standard.

It's like being nice to your friends while being bad towards your parents, and still expecting them to consider you a good son or daughter. Besides, no one is truly more righteous than anyone else. Jesus's sacrificed himself for your sins, and it's arrogant to think that you are saved by your own righteousness. If you don't believe, you won't go to hell, you just won't receive eternal life.

I have noticed that the world of spiritual beings who cling to mediumships or are driven to hunger for energy and answers from another dimension, are generally likely to seek messages from another person even if they themselves are considered experienced mediums. So if they are spiritually higher and in tune with another dimention, what faith does that person have in the powers of their deity that they would want to know what he was up to. If the medium cannot trust their own spiritual intuition, why should anyone trust the medium.

It has nothing to do with Christianity that the Western world has just laws, but our embracing science and secularism that has made us compassionate and tolerant nations.
Fundamentalist countries are the most dangerous ones to live in--why is this?
