I am american, but my parents are frm mexico. My first language was spanish. I have an accent, and i like to talk with it, make fun accents.. yeah sometimes i try to talk like what is considered standard american accent, but i don't like it, it's just not me. My english is completely understandable even with the accent, but i feel that people discriminate me because i don't conform to the standard accent. Here's what i get:
-companies think i'm mexican who doesn't speak english and dn't want to hire me
-even if i'm hired, they all treat me like i'm different
-in hospitals, eye doctor or whatever, even hispanics working there will listen to me, and just because i don't talk with standard english accent they start speaking spanish. They fail to understand my spanish is even worse than my english..what a bunch of dummies.
-Foreign people( japanese/chinese) will see me as not american, and thereofre they don't want to be friends with me because i'm supposedly not american.

When you buy a ticket for a lottery you are 100% certain the ticket and the lottery are both valid. Your only uncertainty is that you have only a tinny tiny percentage of winning the jackpot.
With religion, you are not even certain that the ticket (the religious book & the lottery company (god) are valid, and you are not even certain if there is a jackpot.

If god is never wrong why are there som many contradictions in it?
And if it is a timeless guide, why do so many christans say that some passages dont apply today, just the lessons they teach us. i know you will want some exsamples so here ya go:
this first one is both a contradiction and does not apply today.....
contradiction #1 :How should a man who has sex with a menstruating woman be punished?
He shall be unclean for seven days.
Leviticus 15:24
And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.

He and the woman shall be cut off from among their people.

Leviticus 20:18
And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
thats just one, i can go on and on.

How could God make me so lustful, but at the same time tell me not to fornicate, but at the same time tell me to propogate the Earth? What's going on here? It's so sick.

This seems more like a power seeking ploy fabricated by man than spirituality to me.

Please - NO Bible/Koran/Torah/etc quotes. You have a brain, use your own words.

Why do you think you rememebred it? How do you feel about it now as opposed to then? I remember a spelling test in the 3rd grade when the teacher said the word and a sentence. I thought she wanted the WHOLE sentence on our papers and not just the word. I had to rush really fast and couldnt keep up. I got a bad score on my test because I didnt understand. None of my teachers before her did it that way and she didnt explain. It still makes me made to this day because I feel like she was indirect and I got a bad grade because of it! Yeah, that's stupid, I know.

The Quran says that Allah created man in his image--then why do you hate Jews? If Allah created ALL men including Jews, wouldn't you be hating Allah by hating Jews or anyone else for that matter since they were created in Allah's image?

is sin handled now? Blood sacrifice was the only means of being restored to a holy God. Did He give you another means of covering? Honest question.

This intrusion is iritating, and I find my self snapping back with answers like, "Nope. Just going to deplete my savings until my family and I are on the street."
Where do you think these questions originate from; a genuine concern, or a need to feel superior?

Just wondering because a lot of posts on here from blacks regarding racism is actually a form of racism so I was just confused how this can happen. Enlighten me, will you?

Case Study - I go to an upscale lounge (predominantly black) with my non-black husband and we get stared at and even sometimes get rude service from waitresses. Should I understand and accept this? After all, blacks were victims of slavery and racism.

Now, if roles were reversed and he took me to a predominantly white establishment where the same thing happened, I could raise bloody hell.

This isn't cool. What do you think?

In Europe and other parts of the world,it is the norm.In the USA,these people are considered 'losers'.I don't get it.
By the way,I am in the USA,41,and live with my husband and 4 children.I have not lived with my parents for 20 years now,but really see nothing wrong with it if that is what the person chooses,they help pay bills,the parents don't mind,etc.
What do you think?

If you need to break down each individual than explain it that way that works.
