Matthew 10: 34-36 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter in law against her mother-in law, and a man's enemies will be those of his own household."

Yeah, that makes it real easy to honor thy parents, doesn't it? Seems like an uphill battle, really.

Not to mention that Matthew 12 speaks of "a house divided cannot stand". So He devides the family and forces a situation where they're almost certainly doomed for failure. Is this really reasonable or just?

'Just don't harm anyone.'

Seriously, if you think of all those regulations in the Old Testament and all the doctrines set forth by the Catholic church, etc... Doesn't it all just come down to not hurting anyone else? Besides believing in Jesus, of course!

Why not just skip all the strict rules and bells and smells, and sum it up?

All responses welcome (Christian or non-Christian) but please, no vague insults or name-calling!

The guy was an angel. According to the bible he never did anything worse than fall from heaven, but it wasn't him turning the water into wine, was it?

hen the Prophet of Islaam migrated to Madinah, he was keen on establishing friendly relations between the Muslims and the non-Muslim tribes of Arabia. He established a sort of treaty aiming at ruling out all pre-Islamic rancour and inter-tribal feuds. The following were the clauses of the treaty:

1.The Jews of Bani 'Awf are one community with the believers. The Jews will profess their religion, and the Muslims theirs.
2.The Jews shall be responsible for their expenditure, and the Muslims for theirs.
3.If attacked by a third party, each shall come to the assistance of the other.
4.Each party shall hold counsel with the other. Mutual relation shall be founded on righteousness; sin is totally excluded.
5.Neither shall commit sins to the prejudice of the other.

I mean about the language, and i mean about spanish people who speak Castellano...not catalan. For americans going to live in france , we would have to study French and learn about the culture. But Spanish people already know spanish so is it easy for them

general stereotypes (I do not agree with any of them):

blacks are strong, big criminals
hispanics are illegals in america
asians are unattractive (esp. guys)

there are many other stereotypes that make people perceive others to be less than human and less than their own race...
what do you think of racism and please be honest when you answer the question: are you racist?

something tells me that all of us are all subjected to being partially racist...though i would like to think otherwise

please DONT ATTACK ME...i am not accusing anyone of being a racist or saying that these stereotypes are true...i am merely saying that there are many influences that cause people to be racist....are you a result of this?

In my graduate class, we've been talking about multicultural education. A lot. I'm you're typical white female, and I don't walk around thinking about how I'm a typical white female.

So here's the question: If you belong to a specific racial, ethnic, or cultural group, how often do you really think about that? For example, if you're Native American, does that constantly run through your head? Does it only occur to you when, say, someone points it out or it's in the media? How does it affect your view of the world on a daily basis? How does it affect your view of yourself?

Please don't be offended by this question. I'm trying to get to know the minds of people who aren't like me so I can better understand other races and cultures.
