A secondary question is what your definition of forgiveness is. I think it's giving a situation to God. After all a perpetrator of sin has the ultimate responsibility of repenting.

They sometimes bug me. Movies like The Craft, and now this movie, The Covenant, it looks like The Craft but with guys instead of girls. It creates "trend patterns" that I'm quite comptentuous of. Is there too much hate in my heart?

I consider myself an atheist, but I don't comment people with religion related questions and go "SHAME ON YOU! *ATHEIST QUOTE FROM THE NON-EXISTANT ATHEIST BIBLE* YOU SHOULD BE AN ATHEIST!"

And then Christians try to say that they accept people for who they are and stuff. I think that Christians should accept atheists for what they believe in. Atheists aren't devil-worshippers, don't necessarily have a lack of morals, and don't mean any harm to anyone.

I'm a white girl of Italian heritage who absolutely adores Hispanic culture. My first CD was by Selena, I started learning Spanish in 5th grade and then took classes from 7-10th grade. I've always dated/been interested in Hispanic men (my current boyfriend is from Mexico), I love Latin music (especially Reggaeton), I've wanted to visit Puerto Rico for the longest time now, and I always find books/movies that feature Hispanic characters to be much more appealing. I'm really fascinated with the whole culture. A lot of my friends and family make fun of me. They're always like "Jen, you're white! Not Puerto Rican! Stop with that music!"

So I was just curious. When Hispanic people see a white girl who really takes an interest in their culture, do they think "Hey, that's pretty cool" or "She's white and needs to get a life." I don't try to pretend that I'm Hispanic, I just have a genuine interest in the culture.

Thanks for the help. :)

I know why they put "mental" in fundamentalism, but why "fun"?

Okay, let's look at this from a logical standpoint. I'm not here to bash any religion. God creates Adam and Eve, the first real humans. If so, then there was only one religion. As their decendants spread out across the world, they would have brought their belief with them as we do today. If that were the case, then there would only be one religion (of course, with differences like we have today).

Unfortunantly, we have shinto, hindu, etc. Multitudes of religions that the people have never heard of god, nor are there any artifacts left behind by the first to a continent that even hints that there's a tie to Adam and Eve's children.

Why is this?

1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

If an earnest seeker of the truth asked you this question I am asking, how well could you do? If you want to cite the Bible, then what explanation could you give to an unbeliever as to why the Bible should be believed? If you don't have a ready answer do you think that you should do some studying to be in obedience to the command that Peter lays out here?

a) the only true path to salvation; the way, the truth, and the light
b)perhaps not the only one true interpretation of God, but a useful means of ensuring and promoting morality in society nonetheless
c) every bit as crazy as the other major world religions
d) the most corrupt, intolerant, and destructive force in human history.

A simple letter answer is acceptable, but feel free to expound. Thanks for participating.

Dr. Phillip Barns wrote a quick, but compelling read of history and how Big Bussiness and their illegal lobbying overthrew the monarchy. Do you think we should revoke statehood, but have Hawaii remain a territory, with full protection but a monarchy reign once again? BY the WAY, it's a question that wants an answer, all mean and spiteful answers will be reported.

If you claim to be a christian then please don't act in a way that is non-christian. I've seen posts from people that claim to be christian and it saddens me to read some of the things they say. Don't return evil for evil, if one insults you pray for them, don't insult them back. Our lord wanted us to live by example. Don't let the father of lies win this battle, we are stronger then him because we have Jesus the son of the one true God. Thank you and may God bless you.
