Christians often refer to Islam as a terrorist religion, and they abuse the Arabic word "Jihad" and portray it as a reference to terrorism. We must not forget that JIHAD began in the Bible, where GOD Almighty Commanded His followers to fight for His Holy Cause. Let us look at what the Bible says about Jihad:


GOD Almighty Chose the land of Palestine to be the Jews' "Promise Land", and thus, ordered them to go into it and fight the pagans there so they can have possession over it:

Numbers 13:26-28
26 They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at Kadesh in the Desert of Paran. There they reported to them and to the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 They gave Moses this account: "We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit.
28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.


One simple Question: Did the disbelievers in the land of Palestine during the times of Moses start any war with the Hebrews who ORIGINALLY came from Egypt?? Absolutely Not!

Most people say that most gay men are so hot and so everything, but then I look at myself and I'm like oh ****. Me and my cousin are both 16 and we are gay. He gets all the guys and I get none. It makes me feel so sad inside that I will never find someone that loves me the way his boyfriend loves him. I'm not fat.....I'm not to skinny.....I have nice hair.....I keep myself up, but still I dont get anyone. It seems as though my question would have to be.....Is there anyway I can attract the guys.....(guys that are bottoms cuz I'm a top). Just wondering.....

The reason I ask is I have read some questions and answers that suggest it. Some white people complain about affirmative action, BET and the united ***** college fund. They complain on this site that if they started something just for white people, they will be called racist. You want to know what I think of that? I think they are too worried about what other people think to do anything about their complaints, because I could care less what kind of organization they start. I wouldn't think it is racist to have WET. Just redundant.
Another thing I noticed is some white people are afriad to describe someone by the color of their skin. They are afraid to say "that black girl" or "that black guy". What are they so afriad of? I don't get offended if someone calls me black. I am black! So are some white people too afraid? And yes, I know that white pride is considered racist, but whose fault is that? Not the minorities.

I have been with my girlfriend for over a year. Recently, there have been many rifts between us. I am a very devout Christian soul and very honest with her. I told her about my past and the times that I have cheated on her. She and Jesus have both forgiven me. For the last two weeks now I have been seeing this very honest Christian girl I met at a church function. It's been great. Sex with her feels very holy and clean.

Here's the dilemma, this girl I met told me that my girlfriend has a very dirty past. My girlfriend was not a virgin when she met me. I was not her first. She lied to me!

Now when I see my girlfriend all I could think about is what an unreligious a*s wh o re she is. Jesus fried on the cross because of liar like her. Should I dump her? Should I confront her and tell her how hurt I am? What should I do? Jesus help ME!

Don't these white people realize that the racist label, when used 80%+ of the time, is a word game invented by the left so as to not make them take pride in their race and call a spade a spade as to the behavior of other races?

Another similar label is 'homophobe', but the left has thus far failed to get that into widespread acceptance. So why are there so many apologists on here afraid of being labelled racist and start their responses with "I'm not racist, but.."?

Are these the same kids that cried when called a name during recess growing up but are now all grown up?

Why do they feel the need to put a "I'm not a racist" disclaimer at the beginning of their messages?

Are they afraid of being called a racist if someone else disagrees with their opinions?

With all of the wars, crusades(killing), persecuting, fingerpointing and suppresion Christianity(God) has done, would the opposite of that(Satan) be a better choice? Wouldn't he be someone that let's us live harmoniously, happily and without conflict?
And please don't tell me he will try to appear to be on my side and misdirect me because you can't deny any of the above that the Christian faith has done, it's part of history. If you ask me God has pulled the wool over people's eyes and misdirected them to believe he is all loving, all the while, there are religious wars, etc. in history to recount for. Christianity has been on the offensive with this, not on the defensive. Pagans did not ask to be killed during any crusade, Christian leaders have always went out looking for them.

I do believe in second chances, forgiveness and what not,but when it comes to sex offenders, I'm not quite sure that I would want them to be released among society, especially around children.

I am stumped on that one.

What are your opinions?
