The Bible makes slavery permissible in Exodus 21:20-21, LEviticus 25:44-45. Child slavery is permitted.

It is the god given right to own slaves,

why do Christians think slavery is wrong or immorral, don't they get their morality from the bible


(Get ready for the apologetics about how it was different back then)

I have seen several postings on here recently which claim Aids is caused by Homosexuality. On what basis are these claims substantiated? Is this just religious spin on a subject that some religious people know nothing about?

I really need to tell impatient Japanese clients "sorry, I'm new here" or "trainee" or "new worker" or "new at the job" as politely and simply as possible. I'm a clerk.
Thank you for any suggestions!

...does not consider theirself African-American or black. Isn't Egypt in AFRICA??? Is there an Egyptian here that considers theirself to be African-American, because the last thing I want to do is generalize people?

It's just that I was voting on unresolved questions and one answer said "My niece is part black, her father is black and her mother is egyptian." Doesn't that mean that she is completely black?

Also I knew these two sisters who went to my school and whenever I mentioned anything regarding black people, they got mad at me and they refused to join the African-American Awareness Club.

I know that three people isn't a lot, but is this the general concensus amongst Egyptians?

I know families who are specifically from other countries in Africa and they don't have a problem with being called black or African-American.

All of the muslims know parts of the Qur'an but more than 13 million muslims know the whole Qur'an by heart. Most of them finish learning the Quran by heart when they are between 6-15 years old. This learning is so perfect that if you call a Muslim Hafiz (memorizer of the Qur'an from USA) and another from Indonesia or for that matter, any other part of the world, they would not differ on even one word!

If all the Qur'ans are thrown into sea and none remains, Muslims can reproduce the Qur'an in its true form in a matter of days. Don't you think its amazing?

In a documentary called "Children of Abraham" available on google videos at http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=children%20of%20abraham&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&sa=N&tab=wv

and see for yourself, how a roman catholics tries to test Muslim Hafiz (memorizer of the Qur'an)

Daddy is out plowing the field on his tractor and his young son runs out to the field and says: “Daddy the pastor is here.”



Daddy: Which one?



Son: I don’t know.



Daddy: Well, go back to the house and find out. If it is the Presbyterian Pastor, offer him a drink. If it’s the Methodist Pastor, same thing - offer him a drink.



Son: OK



Daddy: But, if it’s the Baptist Pastor, hide the liquor and the cigarettes.



Son: OK



Daddy: And, if it’s the Mormon Pastor, sit on your mama’s lap and stay there.

Believers say "you need faith" - boring.

Is a rewritten book with no original to be found - tanslated and perverted, chapters omitted and destroyed - the way a god would reveal itself to humanity?

If our soulds really hinge on believing in Jesus, then why does god not give us a better sign? Why not appear to us the way he "did" for the diciples?

Don't we all deserve a sign direct from god, rather than preachers who sexually assult kids, spread AIDS, etc?

Does this not essentially prove that God did not reveal iteslf through Jesus at all?

If they dont believe in absolute truth from the bible, than why are they consciencious about harming others? I there is no God than why not do whatever you want when ever, there is no one watching. If for the benifit of social relationships than why do you still feel guilt when you do something BAD to another? Give me your thoughts and reactions thank you

How can you be christian and say that Jews are gods chosen people, when the jews killed not only jesus, but tried to kill every prophet that came. If they are gods people then what does that make you.
