Why can't people understand that the affects of slavery are still being felt. You can't just rape and mame someone let them go and say well I let them go we should be even now. My whole family and almost every other black person I know Are still experiencing the effects of slavery. Have you ever heard of the Willie Lynch speech? Please read it and then tell me If you still feel the same way.

Hell as far as I'm concerened slavery still exist to a certain degree. What about Black men and women getting extra long sentences fo what some considerto be petty crimes? and Prisons getting paid ***and paying the prisoners pennies on the dollars. I mean there is so much evidence I don't have time to write it all.

So the other day I was at a car lot and I overheard a young woman on her cell and she said to whomever she was talking to, "I'm sitting in this car and I really want to get it, but I asked God if I should and He says no. What should I do?"

My question is, does God really have the time to advise us on such mundane things as car shopping? And couldn't she have made her own decision without having to ask God, by using her own common sense? Or did she just want someone to blame because she is wishy washy?
Do alot of people do this??

Example: true story...When I was a teenager I used to babysit for a sister of mine. After I put my nephew and niece to bed, and eventualy, I went to bed, the house would be quiet and as I was trying to fall asleep, I would hear footsteps in the attic. I would check my nephew and niece to make sure they were ok, and that the windows and doors were locked, as well as the basement, but I never checked the attic. Then I would fall asleep listening to the footsteps. This happened almost every time I baby sat . I never told anyone about it. When I got older I figured out what caused the footsteps.

I know what you are going to say: "Because it says it is."

Don't christians realize what a goofy, backwards argument that is?

Something isn't true just because it says it is. The fact that people even have to be told that is a little disconcerting.

The word "Jihad" means struggle, or to be specific, striving in the cause of God. Any struggle done in day-to-day life to please God can be considered Jihad. One of the highest levels of Jihad is to stand up to a tyrant and speak a word of truth. Control of the self from wrong doings is also a great Jihad. One of the forms of Jihad is to take up arms in defense of Islam or a Muslim country when Islam is attacked. This kind of Jihad has to be declared by the religious leadership or by a Muslim head of state who is following the Quran and Sunnah.

a teenage girl about 17 had gone to visit some friends one
evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year.

She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away.

As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger.

When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it.

However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her.

She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection.

Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her.

When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.

The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there.

Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep.

Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station.

She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story.

The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him.

She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before.

When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed.

The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her.

She asked if they would ask the man one question.

Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her.

When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her."

Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're never alone. Did you know that 98% will not stand up for God?
