Why? I am not trying to be rude but why do A LOT of woman like to lie when they are asked where they are from?

You ask them " What nationality are you from?"

Then they tell you " Oh I am a mutt I am 1/2 chineese, 1/3 italian, 1/5 German , 1/8 French, 1/3 Portuguese, 1/2 Chiwawa and part German Sheperd"

It's silly they mention every country in the world and the most annoying part is when they finish naming half the world they finish it off all the time by saying :

"Oh yeh I'm also part native American "Cherokee"!

Then I ask them oh which family member is french or whatever and they always say oh my grandma or great grandma that they know nothing about.

I find this highly annoying.....I asked a simple question where you were from and NOT for you to trace your blood origins.

I mean I am from Central America ( El Salvador) I am light skinned with light hair. Where people ask me where I am from I DONT say

"oh I am part Mayan Indian and 1/2 Spanish."

I mean seriously...Christians make such a big deal about Jesus getting some nails in his hands and hanging on a cross...but what about the Women and Children that were raped and slaughtered by early christians invading Jerusalem...and then what about the christians who were burned and tortured in incredibaly horrible ways after Jesus died...I mean seriously...Jesus being the son of God Probably didn't feel a thing...He just had to act hurt to make it more legit...

While meditating, I saw the image of a wolf. She was very beautiful and, with that, I got a feeling of guidance and protection. Since then, I've felt like she was always with me. I believe this wolf is my spirit guide.
What do you think?

We who know the news, know he told his TV audience God would "take him home" if he did not get his followers to come up with that much money. Anyone in their right mind should have seen the scam in that counterfeit clergyman and not send him anything at all but people did send him money. So might what I heard be true? And if other clergy are just like him and in it just for the money, can the nations unite against those heartless greedy con men? By, may be taxing them as a business since they are no more than a counterfeit religion in truth which should not have the tax rights of a religion? And give that money back to the people? Our the global governments use it wisely for their peoples real needs? Might be the national leaders can give real teeth to the United Nations for the first time in its 61 years in October on the 24th? Might that bring some kind of peace and security if we did not have dishonest clergy in the money making business but still have freedom for the honest ones?

Jesus said " For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.". Do you feel secure in your own power to live this life and the one after the death of your physical body. Jesus predicted accurately that you type of people would find it very hard to follow God into His kingdom. "Those who see no want see no need."

besides the point. It occured to me that white people not having melanin is tantamount to a plant not having chlorophyl. Am I wrong?

Do some research melanin does some important work for the body and they are missing it. What does that mean for them?

Because the idea of a God that loves you and yet would watch you suffer for all eternity is ridiculous. "I love you, so I'm going to provide you with a bunch of inconsistent, often ridiculous scriptures that contradict common sense and offers no proof of my existence, besides telling you to believe, and if that old book and a bunch of people with blind faith don't convince you, well then you get to be subjected to excruciating pain forever." How reasonable the great lord is.

Plus nothing in the original texts provides such a gruesome image of hell, that all started around the time of the Divine Comedy (Dante's Inferno). Besides all that it is way too obviously a humanidea. No all powerful God would be as flawed or so vengeful, only a human would conceive the "follow me or be damned for eternity" idea. A way to make people feel better about busting their asses to be good people while others coast by on sinful clouds of joy. This makes me feel very safe from any hell, anyone else?

I mean all-knowing is a pretty intense concept, but are we capable of knowing everything there is to know and is it something we should work towards.
I bet the responsibility would be huge if you knew what the slightest thought in your head could accomplish.
