I am aware that there are people of african descent in various european countries such as Great Britain, Spain, and Germany and many if not the vast majority have been there for decades if not centuries. I can't seem to find information about black people in Sweden or Scandinavia for that matter. I was wondering if there are black people in Scandinavia (particularly Sweden) and have they been there for centuries. I'm aware that Denmark used to own the Virgin Islands and had slaves transported there so one would think that there have been africans in Denmark for centuries. All help is greatly appreciated. Oh, I almost forgot, it is to my understanding that black people are treated well in Scandinavia and I wanted to know if this was true.

It doesn't matter what race you are, or what culture you live in, or what your religious beliefs are. EVERYONE will either go to Heaven or Hell when they die. There is ONLY ONE WAY TO HEAVEN. Have you ever told a lie, or stolen anything, or used God's name in vain, or disobeyed your parents? It's appointed to man once to die, then judgment. When you die God will judge you by His Moral Laws. If you stand guilty before God on judgment day, you will end up in Hell. The good news is that God is so kind, that He provided a way to be Forgiven and accepted into Heaven. Jesus Christ died on a cross and rose again to pay the debt for your sins. You must Repent, which means to turn away from your sins, ask God's Forgiveness, and put your complete Trust in Jesus Christ. Only then will you be forgiven and accepted into Heaven

Not taking shots, but i figure most of the Religious Right will react like they did when Harry Potter sold more copies than the Bible and they yelled at me when i was trying to buy Chomsky (who's number 8, by the way...score) in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I also figure that Christians would be ok with Shakespeare being higher on the list. He was gay, but at least he wasn't a Communist, right guys?

The one where God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son, but then stops him, saying he didn't really want him to kill his son, just wanted proof of his total devotion.

This really strikes a negative chord with me; I can't imagine a god that could possibly want one of his believers to worship him so much that he would commit any murder, especially against one of his children, for him.

Do I have the wrong message here? Christians, can you let me know if you see a positive message here? I'm not trying to offend, just very curious, as I've never understood this story.

Respectful replies only, please. Thank you.

Ok- from what i can gather from watching the news is that every time something goes bad in the world, the people in that area loot and destroy their own communities. What is the reason for that? During Katrina we saw people looting jewelry stores, electronic shops etc. After the Rodney King thing we saw LA trashed. Now we see the iraqi's looting the abandoned British military base. But why? what purpose does it serve to ruin where you live or take things that do not belong to you all in the name of some crisis that is happening? During Katrina i could understand looting stores for food/supplies, but not the liquor stores or jewelry stores. they showed 1 guy walking a tv down the street! No electricity- um how can it be watched?

Ok, so the thing is I had a job interview yesterday. I have been forewarned (3 different people) that this boss is rather "pro semite", meaning she prefers to hire Jewish people (even though the job has nothing to do w/ being Jewish).

Sure enough, during my interview, she asked me if I celebrated Hannukah (in August?) and I told her "yes, I did last year."
(which is true, because my boyfriend is Jewish, and we did. Also, if we get married, I will have to convert.)
Secondly, when she saw which college I went to, she said "oh, XXX, what a great school and so many great Jewish programs" to which I responded "Yes, I love XXXXXXX (the school)."

I also sort of hid my cross under my shirt. (I don't wear it every day and I am not very religious but I thought I might as well hedge my bets right?)

so I would like to know: do you think she believed I was Jewish? I am going to hear from her next week & I really need this job. Thanks!

The Lords Prayer :
Matthew 6:10-14 This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Luke 11:2-4 He said to them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
And lead us not into temptation.’ ”

In order to have world peace there has to be no sin in the world, thus you need Jesus Christ. People try to live their lives and try to be "good people" but they can sin on the side. It is impossible to build a perfect society by following the evil carnal side of people.

Religion is an ongoing evolving horror story for children, caused by, and promoted by, religious preachers, teachers and parents. The trouble that religion causes for children is outrageous, but then, God allowed little children slaughtered (Isaiah 13:15-18 according to the Bible) so perhaps religious people think it’s ok for them to abuse children.

Religious Preachers sexually abuse young children nowadays, especially little boys.

Religious Teachers are seeking permission to bypass the law so they can beat students in school because the Bible says "We ought to serve God rather than men".

Religious Parents allow their kids to read the Bible, yet the Bible contains some of the worst hatred, violence, killing, and murders ever witnessed in Humanity.

Religion today is such a disgrace and a sad reflection on humanity, surely there must be a way to convince our children to walk away from this man-made nonsense and look for a better way.

Children - "Say no to Religion"
