Turn on PBS, Discovery Channel, etc. and you see plenty of Amazonian or aboriginal women walking around in their birthday suits. But on those same exact channels, even a buttcrack is blurred out if the person is from America, Europe or Asia. What gives?

Who was Jesus referring to? And what is meant by "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?". I don't understand that verse.

I ate 4 grams of magic mushrooms and went to see the kottonmouth kings and Hed PE in concert and about 45 minutes later had a siezure (I have never had a siezure before). I came to and didnt know where I was and had to lay down for about 15 minutes before I began to peice together what happened, needless to say I quit doing drugs, but I also am a little worried because I dont have insurance and have not been checked out since the episode. Has anyone had or heard of this sort of thing happening, if so should I be worried of future medical complications?

There's this guy from Queer Eye, the food guy, who at least to me is straight-acting. I can't remember his name, but he wears glasses, has dark brown hair, fair skin, and beautiful blue eyes. He's sometimes a judge on Iron Chef America. He's openly gay, but you wouldn't know he's gay, at least not to me. I'm straight. Is it possible to pick out a gay person, even if they're straight-acting?

And the body at the cross is not Jesus. Just someone who replace him.

"Jesus is a great man and will not die at the cross, he will come back"

If you don't - read al-Quran (Islamic holy book).
(He cannot say about this to christian, so the bible didn't have the story, only al-Quran complete the story)

Given Jesus's actions at the temple market place, selling religious wares are sinning? I frequently see people set up selling books, videos, etc at churches. And do I even need to bring up 'The Passion of the Christ' which received quite a bit of hawking from the pulpit? Or the 'war on Christmas' claims from last year--that Christmas just isn't commercial enough because retailers switched to happy holidays? Is using Christianity to sell products a sin?

With the street rapping and the wild hair, the loud guitars, the gyrating hips and so forth. It's just not Christian anymore.

I remember when Gospel music was pure and simple like the Ministers Quartet
http://www.zonicweb.net/badalbmcvrs/letmetouch.jpg

Or maybe the Louvin Brothers
http://www.zonicweb.net/badalbmcvrs/louvin.jpg

Of course, the Cooper Family
http://www.zonicweb.net/badalbmcvrs/cooperfam.jpg

And my favorite, The Christian Crusaders
http://www.zonicweb.net/badalbmcvrs/cristcrusaders.jpg

Ahhh, they just don't make Gospel like that anymore! Who is your favorite?

I have no problem with with dating another guy of another etnicity. But it seems like alot of non-black men are reluctant to date a Black woman. I get suggestive stares form a lot of non-black guys but they seem to be very intimated and taken by my attractiveness and they don't ask me out. Are non-black men afriad of Black women or do they believe in a lot of negative stereotypes?

He has been an atheist for years, but he asked that I pray for her. Please pray that I will be able to comfort him and be an effective witness. Pray that his heart is softened.

He is a great guy. I have never been able to find out why he stopped believing.

What do you think about this... just read thanks =)
The Death Of Jesus Christ


The death of Christ is one of the most remembered and discussed death in all time. Yearly, many devouts celebrate his death on "Friday" in the so called "Holy Week" season. His death commemoration is commonly known in Spanish terms as "Viernes Santo". It is believed by millions that Christ died on a Friday and resurrected on Sunday.

Is this Biblical?

I'm Canadian, and I don't think there is any stigma attached to the word 'liberal' like there is in the US. I also believe in most other western nations, liberal is not a bad word. It means 'generous' and 'progressive.' I can accept conservatives, and I have a few friends who are. They also accept my politics. We disagree, but there is none of the nastiness I see in US politics. I'm sure it wasn't always that way. Can anyone rationally explain how they can justify calling a positive word negative? Only polite answers, please.

I speak Spanish but I never got what was with the second e and u in E.E.U.U. why is it not just E.U. (Estados Unidos) What do the extra e and u stand for. This is probably common knowledge, and I probably sound ignorant for asking, but I really don't know and I've always been curious. Thanks.

recently went to Mexico and we went downtown in the shops and a lot of the hispanic men said something like "ohh bonita chikas", "beautiful" or even degrading stuff right to my face. It was a culture shock for me and something which I didn't understand. I met a few very charming latin men, one who gave me a rose, and I thought it was different how he would just blatantly walk by and smile and stare making sure I knew he was looking :) but some of them, such as shop vendors and even airport security said very innappropriate stuff, such as saying my clothes should come off, or they would give me "something else for free." Why are the men there so much more outspoken and excuse me but horny? Not all of them were, but a lot. This is not a racist question, I am just very curious as to why it was so different there than here in America?I'm sure it isn't just Mexico..but a little bit of forwardness is a good thing, just as long as it isn't inappropriate :)
