If this guy, (or guys, since there have been 2 different screen names) is so against whites, why doesn't he move to some remote african villiage, 100 miles from the closest white person? This "feel sorry for us", "you whites owe us" "you whites are racist" crap is getting real old. And racism is not a "religion" or is it "spiritual". Go to the Black Panther group if you hate whites so much. Anyone else wish these idiots would go away???

I suppose this has been asked a gazillion times but my propensity for sloth prevents me from doing the research myself, so bear with me.

This is regarding "free will." According to this belief system (as I understand it anyway), God in his wisdom and goodness gave us free will. I have the free will to choose the gift of his divine salvation or rot in hell. Or is that fry in hell? Whatever. So, here's my question: How can you call it free will when the consequences of using my free will to NOT choose his generous offer gets me a one-way ticket to you-know-where. I believe that is called (1) bribery (the gift of Heaven if I do what He desires of me), or (2) coercion (if I DON'T choose to believe, I am etenrally screwed). How do you explain this? Where is the "free will" in that? Thank you for any non-self-righteous response you may care to give. Peace.

I am not Christian but my religion is similar to Christianity (Sikhism) but a different culture and language. Christian people are actually really nice people and in the bible there a lot of good things. A lot of people say Christian history is untrue! Its not everything they say did happen! And I hate it when ignorant people think all Muslim people are bad, thats not true either!

Why do we lose it when we grow older? I've had my share of experiences as a kid. And no, I don't think they were imaginary considering the circumstances during my experiences.

I really miss those experiences. I wouldn't say that its because I've lost my innocence when I grew up, I've always kept an open mind about it. But still, I've never been able to "reconnect". What went wrong?

I'm not saying we should not have morals in politics (in fact it needs a whole lot of it)...but I have come to the conclusion that Priests, Bishops, Imams, Ayatollahs and other so-called anointed religious leaders cannot come up with sane political decisions and even help corrupt politics. You want proof: look at the USA where you have religious freaks go crazy over cartoons (Spongebob controversy ring a bell?); look at Iran where the Imams bless a loonatic monkey that wants Israel exterminated; look at my home the Philippines where Bishops can help block important laws from being passed and avoid paying taxes even if they have corporations and businesses...and all they have to defend their stands is "God did this...God did that"...Its stupid and making the other citizens look stupid.

Mother Theresa said that there was a great poverty of spirit and a sense of being alone, unloved, and unwanted in the world today. I agree with her. Many hunger for food yet I have found that even those hungering tend to have stronger faith than many of the wealthy. Could the greatest poverty be the poverty of the soul? Blessed are the poor.
Peace Be With You,

Luke 23.44 It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, while the sun's light failed; and the curtain of the temple was torn in two. ****THEN*** Jesus, criying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." Having said this, he breathed his last.

Matt27.50 Then Jesus cried again with a loud voice and breathed his last. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn is two, from top to bottom.

From Luke is is clear curtain was torn THEN Jesus died. From Matt it's the oppsite (or close to it) it happened at the same time.

There are two conclusion I can come up with:
1) This is due to a mistranslation in the bible.

2) The bible isn't inspired by God.

If either of these are true, how do we believe everything in the bible. What else could have been mistranslated...homosexuals?

I've often wondered if God already knows every detail about your life, and already has it planned out from beginning to end, does prayer really make a difference? How can it change anything, if God already planned it?

My first movie will be about lesbians about to graduate form high school. I'm pretty sure I will get criticized for making a movie about gay teenagers, but I am only starting off that way because most celerities start their career off by playing younger characters and then they play older characters as they get older. Then as I get older, thet characters in my films will get older.It makes more sense anyway. But is my movie about gay teenagers any different than a straight moviemaker's film about teenage love between a boy and a girl?

It seems to me thast a benevolent god would prefer if people behave in a virtuous way, as Jesus would behave for example.

Furthermore, organised religion could be perceived to have a self serving motivation behind any statements that this is insufficient to enter heaven.

Could you please comment on the above. If you think I am off the mark, could you provide reasons why?

And another important second point, if so, and Noah was white, why do we discriminate against black people who just developed more pigment in their skin over the years while in Africa? Blacks and whites are related and we all come from the same caucasian Noah. Then why be racist if we are all the same race after all?
