You can add your family's ethnicity if you want - I am curious as to which cultures prefer which bed-making method. I grew up in a sheet and blanket household, but I suspect nobody makes the bed that way anymore.

Why do I get hurt that easily? I've been in a few relationships and I seem to get hurt easily by my partners, when they don't pay attention to what I have to say, or other friends have more preference than me, or when I'm asked If I want to have *** with somebody at the same time, besides my partner. Am I wrong? Should I just try understand things better? If anyone wants to help me about this, please let me have your Y! messenger so we can talk

10"Our land lies in ruins now, but we will rebuild it better than before. We will replace the broken bricks with cut stone, the fallen sycamore trees with cedars." 11The LORD will reply to their bragging by bringing Rezin's enemies, the Assyrians, against them-- 12along with Arameans from the east and Philistines from the west. With bared fangs, they will devour Israel. But even then the LORD's anger will not be satisfied. His fist is still poised to strike. 13For after all this punishment, the people will still not repent and turn to the LORD Almighty. 14Therefore, in a single day, the LORD will destroy both the head and the tail, the palm branch and the reed. 15The leaders of Israel are the head, and the lying prophets are the tail. 16For the leaders of the people have led them down the path of destruction. 17That is why the Lord has no joy in the young men and no mercy on even the widows and orphans. For they are all hypocrites, speaking wickedness with lies.

Actually, I understand your Pascal's theory very well. Don't you think that as a rational, thinking human being, I have considered the fact that the religion I follow might be the wrong one? Of course. Otherwise I would be blindly following something without good reason.

But I HAVE thought about it, and have come to the conclusion that Christianity is the only option for ME as the true religion. And, for goodness sakes, I also know that Christianity has only been around for a short time. That is because Judaism, which has been around MUCH longer, led to Christianity. They merged and became one and the same as many Jews accepted Christ.

It doesn't matter that Judaism today does not agknowledge Christ, I will still accept the Old Testament as the truth, with the theory that people parted after Adam and Eve were thrown out of Eden, creating all of the other religions today to fill the emptiness in their lives-caused by being away from God. Comments?

1 Christians displays a consistent and almost unwavering opposition to modern science. More than anything, this reveals their preference for ideology over facts, reality, and reason.

2 Christians are Anti-Feminism: Traditional religion accords both men and women limited and restricted social roles based upon their gender. The fact that men’s roles are more powerful and public is something women are supposed to simply deal with because that’s God’s will.

3 Christians are Anti-Sex: Christians position on sex is that it exists primarily for procreation and should only occur within marriage. Christians defend policies which appear to have no other purpose than to punish extramarital sex. Even opposition to abortion appears to have more to do with punishing sex than with preserving life.

4 Christians are anti-liberty: It would be highly unusual to find Christians backing any sort of expansion on what people are free to do. Control is a christian doctrine.

Are Christians oppesed?

How is it that Adam and Eve's children created humankind without some form of incest? And later in the Bible, why does it strictly prohibit incest? Just a little inconcistancy I'm sure a good Christian could answer.........

I love other races but I really can't get myself to like black people. I'm not white myself so it's not like I'm some sort of hillbilly KKK type guy it's just, I don't know.. I don't like black people. I also hate rap music. Does this make me racist?

I doubt it since the dictionary defines racism as: "The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others."

Something I don't believe since I see all races equally, it's just that I don't like blacks.

mizzgreeneyez is obviously mentally retarded. We have to find a cheap and effective way to prevent her from breeding. Until we can get her tubes tied, I say we take immediate action by sealing off that stinky cavity she calls a vagina. if we don't she'll spread her legs and a crack-neega will impregnate her. Don't let her make another baby! She is already sucking enough tax money in the form of welfare! HELP!!!!

Given that "we" are actually several races and sexes, in terms of phenotype alone. There is a lot of variance. How is that variance accounted for? Is it just seen as error in the imaging process? Or does it imply that the original encompasses all variants?
