i know this has been asked before but i want to know for myself anyway. why is it that gods/goddesses of other faiths(greek, roman, etc) are considered mythological as though they never existed, yet newer religions consider 'god' to be real, and not a myth. is it because it was shunned as being a pagan-based system of belief, or because so many people believe in the concept of one god, that they feel it simply can't be a myth.

Why do some ignorant people think that black africans have the same kind of hair? I mean 95% of People from eritrea, Somalia, djibouti, and ethiopia have the soft hair like asian's hair. All these countries are in Africa. Maybe they have never seen people from those country.

Whether you believe me or not Jesus said those who claim to be Jews are not and that they are lying. The reason why Jesus said this is because those who claim to be Jews have absolutly no proof. The vast majority of Jews are Ashkenazi which means they are descendants of Ashkenaz the son of Gomer whose father was Japheth, the older brother of Shem. Shem was the forefather of Abaraham and Jacob and because Jews are not descended from Jacob they can not rationally be the true children of Israel. You can go to Jewishencyclopedia.com and look up Ashkenaz to confirm what I have said. How truly diabolical to keep Gods true chosen people from their history and thereby hendering their future! But my Hebrew ancestors forsaw their descendants living in ignorance of their historical relationship with the living God. They built tombs and temples and painted biblical scenes as signs of their African origins. Today you can see the real temple of Solomon and the other things he built in Africa.

I ask this question as I'm supposed to be muslim but love a non-muslim guy. I would like to know can someone have the heart to leave someone that they really love for Islam? What about the pain and all that you have for each other? What about if you have kids?

I am seeing all of these questions about what proof is there OF GOD and asking how they know he exists. I am asking, "What proof is there that he DOESN'T exist?"

*DISCLAIMER* This is not meant to make people angry, just to get people thinking:

Of course its usually used to express anger, resentment and frustration towrds whites.
Do any of you self-identified white people find it offensive?
Do you feel 'white gulit' for something you never did (perhaps it was your ancestors or just members of your race that committed the 'wrongs).
Do you feel guilty that you're benefiting from white privilige today, by no effort on your part other than being born?
If you do realize that you gain from white privilige, are you doing anything to detach yourself from it? Or do you silently continue reaping the benefits while claiming no such benefit?
