First, I AM WHITE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WHITE. AND I DO NOT REALLY HAVE ANY BLACK FRIENDS. (That was big for emphasis). Almost 100% of my 40,000 resident town is White.

The White race always claims to be the superior race when it enslaved another group of human beings (the Africans) solely on the basis that they had more pigment in their skin and were therefore inferior. How ridiculous and arbitrary and bigoted is that? Whites will always talk about how WE have had more accomplishments that blacks etc. But isn't it the Black people that overcame slavery and oppression and European colonization of Africa and still prosper today?? And us Whites pretend like we have done so much more when life has been a cakewalk for us! (as a whole race) When has the White race ever had to overcome diversity as a whole race? NEVER!! (Note: I know that a lot of Jews are white and did suffer immensely in the Holocaust, but I mean as a complete race)

Does anyone agree with me here?

What is the point of Hell? If an evil person were to die and go to hell for, let’s say, 10 years or even 100 years and then “rehabilitated” went to heaven with the rest I would see some logic to it. What’s the point of an endless punishment? The reason punishment exists is to prevent you from repeating the same mistake. This makes me understand that if there were a god he would be a sadistic one, not a loving.

My father once mentioned a theory that the Earth was in fact "renewed" or "replenished" as it is told in Genesis 1:1, siting that the original Hebrew word that was translated "created" actually meant "renewed" in the original text. It also states that the spirit of God moved across the face of waters and the earth was without form and void. Was the earth a watery void before God renewed it in Genesis 1:1? That would seem to explain certain things, like why we can see starlight that has traveled more than 6000 lightyears. (If the universe is only about 6000 years old, then we shouldn't be able to see stars that are any further away than that.)

My belief is that you have to go through hell to get to heaven. If we are not in hell, does it say in any religious texts that reproduction will stop during the apocolypse?

that gay people only expect to have sexual relationships with another GAY person and not out to destroy anybody else's marriage or "convert" heterosexuals. People who are secure in themselves AND their religious beliefs have no just cause to be threatened by diversity. No hateful posts, please?

Just was dumped by a mormon after a long relationship. He never answered my questions about the Church directly, and brushed aside any concerns of mine. I was just curious of reports one sometimes sees about the LDS are true, and also why they are so very exclusive of non members. I was ecxluded many times because I was not a member. Thank you.

A boy grows up hating his father, but loving his mother dearly. He dedicates his life to being different than his father as the man embodied everything that the boy despised. One day his mother dies, and standing over her grave he is shocked at his inability to greive for her. Some years pass, and his father dies. As he stands over his fathers grave he can not contain his grief, he is a weeping mess. What do you take away from this?

The first cleaning is rather expensive and the bi-weekly is up there too. Do you tip the workers (2-3 people) and if so how much?

She says I am crazy for not being "saved". I think she is the crazy one because she calls a cracker "Jesus Christ" and then eats it. And she thinks dunking your body under water erases your sins. Who do you think is crazy?

(and please, no perverse answers)

"...‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’..." (Mark 12:31)

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you" (Matthew 5:33-34)
