Fact:
Declaration of Independence refers to 'Nature's God', a term used exclusively by Deists.

Fact:
The Constitution of the USA does not mention God at all except in the phrase, "In the Year of our Lord," which is nothing but an english translation of "Anno Domini", or "AD".

Fact:
Treaty of Tripoli, Article eleven, categorically states that the USA was not founded as a Christian Nation, a treaty ratified by the Congress of 1979.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Tripoli

ADMITTEDLY ---
Other documents DO reference the Yahweh, however, the first three references I give are the entire basis of Law in the USA. None of the documents that reference Yahweh play a part in that basis.

If you think about it is the same as "Black Pride". I don't think being proud of being white should be wrong. African americns say "black power" but when a white person says it is wrong.


and no I am not a racist.

I can find handwritting worksheets in english on the preschool and early education websites. I am looking for something similar in Greek. It is ok if the directions are all in greek, I just want to practice tracing the letters until I can write them correctly.

Or would you risk your irreplacable life for your replacable material object?
I only ask this because when I read the papers or see the news some people get killed resisting these armed robbers instead of giving up their possesions and informing the police/authorities.

Assuming that the author had no history of mental health problems, and was known by all who knew him to be a truthful and honest person. Also, would it make a difference to you what religion the author was?

My opinion on the word "faith" is:

"Closing your mind to truth, and believing anything told to you"

I have come to a point in my life in which I need that special someone to share my life with. For many years in my younger days I have suppressed my sexualaty. Now that I now know who I am, I cannot seem to find an acceptable avenue to find other like minded people in which to date. I am not into the bar scene, and I do things which I have found very few gay people to be interested in, such as fishing, working on cars, camping, etc. (those who are are way out of my age range) I consider myself to be just a normal guy who happens to be gay, and I am very much so attracted to similar guys, but so few are either available, or even gay! I feel lost; if anyone could give me some tips or have been in my position please help!

I have a hard time socializing since I got into middle school. i think it was because I was fat and had messed up teeth. But now i am 17 and going to be a senior this september. I lost weight now and i got braces that took care of my teeth. But i find it hard to be with a friend. I have no brothers or sisters. My parents owned a restaurant and so they work all the time. I am always alone all the time. I have good grades 4.12 GPA weighted and 3.7 unweighted. Any solutions out there for me to change or do something?

This question goes out to atheists, theists, humanists, agnostics and the like.

How would you define religion?

Be respectful towards all religions!

I got offered a job position in some cities that are almost all white, and I'm black. In my head I'm not comfortable in those settings, although I'm sure I'd be greated fairly more often than not. Its just I hate being the only black person (in the store, class, neighborhood), and I'm wondering if whites are conscientious.
