Does it really aggrivate you when people hear the word black all they think is: thug, gangsta, playa, drugs, etc.? It really makes me mad and its dissapointing too see our black people being looked down, and being called the "n" word. Its dissapointing to see black people on the streets doing things that they shouldn't be doing. Just tell me what you think, this has been on my mind for a while Holla At Me

What do you think? Theists pull this all the time. But I contest (since they are obviously wrong) that belief does cost humanity. Not in the same old worn-out ways of discrimination, $ lost to tithing, and general misinformation, but because theism promotes reproduction in a world that theists don't think is worth living in. Theists only TOLERATE earth until they can get somewhere better. Since there is nowhere better, and they KEEP BRINGING NEW PEOPLE HERE, they are hurting the new people, according to their own standards. Theists are causing new people to live this sencond-rate life on this unjust planet in RECORD NUMBERS, and then just burying them. Isn't that aweful?

One of great weaknesses of the Bible lies in the fact that it contains tangible mechanisms by which to refute its truthfulness. Within it pages are verses which can be used to test the book's validity. They can be generally grouped under two broad headings--those involving tremendous powers given to believers and those involving powers attendant to prayer and requests. The most prominent verses within the first category are Mark 16:17-18, which says, "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lays hands on the sick, and they shall recover." Many true believers have handled deadly snakes and drunk deadly poisons only to find the Bible is both erroneous and dangerous. Courts in Illinois, Tennessee, and elsewhere have repeatedly stopped practices of this nature because of the treat to life.

Why don't we see God coming down on a cloud and taking dust from the ground to make human beings anymore?

7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. Genesis 2:7 (New King James Version)

Wow...I thought he was a messenger of God?

Although the recipient of numerous accolades--never doing evil (1 Sam. 25:28), following God fully (1 Kings 11:6), being an angel of God(2 Sam. 19:27), keeping his commandments of God (1 Kings 3:14), and having a perfect heart with the Lord (1 Kings 15:3)--David exhibited exceptionally corrupt behavior.

* He killed (1 Sam. 17:50-51 RSV, 18:7, 27, 19:8, 23:5, 30:17, 2 Sam. 8:1, 2, 5, 13),
* ordered murders (2 Sam. 1:15, 4:5-12),
* ordered prisoners to be killed (2 Sam. 12:2931, 1 Chron. 20:3, 2 Sam. 8:1-2),
* committed unprovoked aggression and mass killing (1 Sam. 27:8-11, 2 Sam. 5:20, 25),
* gave up seven of Saul's descendants to be killed (2 Sam. 21:1-6, 9),
* requested that Joab be killed (1 Kings 2:5-6),
* intentionally arranged for Uriah to be killed in order to seize his wife (2 Sam. 11:14-17),
* displeased the Lord (2 Sam. 11:26-27),

wow...and here we thought some of the present day serial killers were bad...

According to 2 Chron. 30:16 Moses was the Man of God; yet, he...

* murdered an Egyptian (Ex. 2:12),
* ordered an armed attack (Num. 31:3, 6),
* ordered the murder of prisoners (Num. 31:17),
* ordered the keeping of young female prisoners for several reasons (Num. 31:17),
* led mass killings of women and children (Deut. 2:34, 3:3, 6),
* ordered killings (Deut. 13:15, 20:13),
* blasphemously wrote he was a greater prophet than Jesus (Deut. 34:10 NASB),
* had a son out of wedlock (Ex. 2:21-22),
* and was excluded by God from Canaan for four different reasons:
unbelief (Num 20:12),
rebellion (Num. 27:12-14 RSV),
trespassing (Deut. 13:51-52),
and rash words (Psalm 106:32-33 NIV).

Thankfully they caught the guy...so why is he reverred in the Christian church?

For the past few years I've been dealing with inconsistancy in my mood. Sometimes I'm happy and I like being around family and friends and other times/most times I feel really alone and isolated as though no one sees me or even notices me. i feel like i'm so differnt from other people. things that others have fun doing i tend to dislike. i just don't feel as though i fit in with the world all of the time. im always getting compliments in life on how i'm a great leader and how i am smart others seem to like to be around me. i don't see that though. when i look at myself i see a the opposite of what others say they see in me. i hate being around people now, i go out of my way to not be apart of family events and parties, because i feel so out of place and differnt. it wasn't always this way though. no one seems to notice that im this way. its like i have all of this bottled up inside of me and everyone sees me as happy-go-lucky. is this depression? should i see a doctor? can i cure mysel

I know that some kids might not have much money. Is it okay to ask them not to bring gifts? Should I not say anything and let them bring gifts if they want. We are very accepting of other people's generosity but do not want to make kids feel obligated.

Am I the only Christian female to find this ridiculous? The bible never refers to God's genitalia! God is GOD, not a dude or a chick. I'm reading these fabulous feminist books who refer to "Goddess" instead of "God" and I'm not finding it blasphemous at all. I mean, they're both equally valid if God has no literal gender, do you see what I mean? Are there Christians out there who actually think God as sitting in heaven on his throne with a penis the size of Australia? Am I missing something or do you agree? What do you think?

But, in the Bible, he is the God of War? Again, people are are confused about their own religions. Why don't you guys try going to church, read the new and the OLD testament, wash yourself of your sins, and then come back here. Maybe then you can call yourself religious.
