I know I am going to be raked over the coals for this. How long are Whites suppose to say were sorry that blacks were slaves . It has been 140 years since slaveryand 50 years since civil rights. Blacks (not all) seem like they would rather work to blame Whites rather then work to improve their lifes. I know I am generalizing, but when you listen to the Jessie Jacksons and Al Sharptons (the so called leaders of the Black movement) of the world all I hear is give me and feel sorry for me and don't forget to feel guilty. My family history doesn't start in this country till the 1900's. Either way when is enough, enough. When is it time to stop asking (demanding ) a hand out. OK thats my say, WHATS YOURS

One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had
come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one
scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him.

The scientist walked up to God and said, "God, we've decided that we
no longer need you. We're to the point that we can clone people and
do many miraculous things, so why don't you just go on and get lost."

God listened very patiently and kindly to the man and after the
scientist was done talking, God said, "Very well, how about this,
let's say we have a man making contest." To which the scientist
replied, "OK, great!"

But God added, "Now, we're going to do this just like I did back in
the old days with Adam."

The scientist said, "Sure, no problem" and bent down and grabbed
himself a handful of dirt.

God just looked at him and said, "No, no, no. You go get your own
dirt!"

I just think that once people get over here, and if they plan to stay, they should learn English. I dont care what color or where they came from. Half the places I go they put things in spanish and english. Or if i call a company i am directed to press one for enlgish. I shouldnt have to. Its not that big a deal but come on. Last week a buddy of mine was in Walmart. He attempted to ask a woman where something was and she just mumbled something in spanish and kept walking. Come the hell on, thats just rediculous.

First, anyone can post anything, only those answers that follow the rules have a chance at Best Answer.

Second, "God works in mysterious ways" and similar answers are null statements. They are equivalent to saying "I don't know" and thus eliminate themselves from the contest.

Third, contending answers must stipulate the following:
1. The God of the OT is the same God of the NT.
2. That God is a God of love and infinite mercy.
3. That God is a family-values kind of God. He hates the shedding of innocent blood and loves little kids.
4. God hates the sin but loves the sinner, sacrificing His only Son for the sins of the world, etc.

Rules are clear?

All you have to do is explain why God did what he did in a selected verse, and why you approve of His choice.

Here's another old favourite of mine: Leviticus 20:9
Seems that if my son were to curse me ("G*d damn you, Dad."), God would want my son "put to death". Does the ultimate 'time-out' seem reasonable to you?

i am looking for a mentor. but im not looking for just any kind of mentor, i truely believe that scam artist and spy detectives are great mentors. they are proven to have outstanding wit and un surpassed cleverness. i believe that in the growing world today only people like that will survive. When i first read the story of Count Victor Lustic who sold the Effle tower for a million dollars i was hooked( by the way the tower did not belong to him). I'm an orphan so i really raised myself. I admire those advance in life by using there swift cleverness. i am looking for serious answers only if your not looking to be a mentor please leave me a site of related issue.. thank you ..

Jewish & Christians Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allâh (Alone), and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allâh.

christians why denying God evidences and u r witnessing it's true. and God is witness on what's in ur heart. christians why mixing the truth with false, and hide the truth while u r aware of it?

christians Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allâh aught but the truth. The Messiah Jesus son of Mary was no more than a Messenger of Allâh and His Word Be! - and it will be which He bestowed on Mary and a spirit created by Him; so believe in Allâh and His Messengers. Say not: "Three trinity!" it is better for you. For Allâh is (the only) One God. Glory be to Him above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth.

christians a prophet came to u to clear to u many things hiding in ur scriptures.

For many belief systems the creation of sacred space is important. Pagans cast circles and use sacred tools. The Orthodox Churches have temples gilded with gold. Islam has mosques where the word Allah is used to make beautiful patterns. Catholics cross themselves as they enter church. I grew up in a Baptist Church. Everyone dressed for Church and folks acted with reverence in the Sanctuary.

Recently my wife started looking for a new church. Many churches are in old store fronts, movie theaters, or resemble office parks. They have espresso bars. For $3 you can sip a latte during the service. Services are stacked on top of each other so you get herded in and out. People mill around noisily outside the auditorium. The music and plays are very polished. But, it seems like going to a show, and not an encounter with the sacred.

Is the post modern protestant church in the United States losing something important? Is creating sacred space an important part of your worship?
