Describe what a stereotyped American person is if you are British
Describe what a stereotyped British person is if you are American and all other nationalities describe both.

I ask as I had a bunch of Americans stay the other day and we talked about what each of our countries thought of each other and I want to see if anyone has the same ideas as we came up with.

It seems more believable to me that Jesus was simply a charismatic leader whose stories were continually exaggerated until the point of seeming god-like. Eventually, out of these stories grew an entire mythology to give people a way to explain the unexplainable and to try to control the masses. Doesn't this seem like a more likely explanation then the son of god was on earth and then disappeared along with any evidence of the existence of god?

Do you think because your liberal college professor told you a few of his or her own misconceptions you're the athority on the subject? Do you honestly think that because that the professor or the author of the book you read was non-biased simply because he/she wasn't a Christian?

How about I clear up a few things.

Christianity is more than an orginal idea, it's the truth. Pagan religions dating from around the same time borrowed from Christianity not the other way around.

The council of Nicea is where the Bible was put together not written. They basically came together and standardized what the vast majority of Christians were already doing/reading.

The Council of Nicea did not decide Christ's divinity but confirmed it. Some doubters were trying to influence Christianity to take away the divinity of Jesus and the Church felt the need to make a statement about it. Belief in Christ's devinity can be found in Paul's letters which go all the way back to within 2 decades...

Not that I'm giving lessons. But what religion (or religions) do you have even an intellectual curiosity about? Even if the curiosity is simply to know about the tenets of faith and beliefs in order to make converting someone easier?

why are there muslim taxi drivers at the minneapolis airport that refuse to pick-up passengers who purchased alcohol at the duty-free? does it not appear to people that inch by inch muslims, with their false doctrine of peacefulness, are imposing sharia law on everyone? in europe they are actually proposing a law that bans drawing muhammad in cartoons. its like europeans are so bored that they have nothing to do but surrender and make stupid laws. offen muhammad (the moron) and they kill you while saying theyre peaceful. offend Jesus and nothing happens.

Why are there so many women preachers when the bible is very clear that a preacher is to be husband of one wife and also 1Ti 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
1Ti 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
How do women preachers justify going against the bible they are supposed to preach?

As per this website http://www.greatapeproject.org/index.php the great apes project is about recognizing the fact that apes share much of the emotional attributes that humans do, and deserve to be treated with respect by human beings, not put in prisons or zoos, and be treated at par with human beings on basic rights of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". As per this website, http://www.afajournal.org/2006/august/0806noi.html Spain is going to be the first country in the world which would recognize this STATUS of the closest kin of human beings.

In years passed, my family and I have not participated in handing out Halloween candy. This year I'd like to give not only candy out, but a positive Christian message with it. I'd also like to use different candies as 'examples' of a Christian witness, such as:

Peppermints - could represent the blood of Jesus - it washes us whiter than snow

Caramels - He sticks closer than a brother to us

Apple flavored candies - We are the apple of His eye

If you can think of anything else, please contribute! Also, let's take this opportunity to witness to our neighbors!!!

God bless!

i) If you were at the points of a railway junction, and you saw that the oncoming train was going to kill the 5 workmen on the track (and there was no way to alert them or the driver) and the only other option was to send the train down the other line, where 1 person would be killed. Would it be justified to, essentially, kill the 1 person - to save the 5 ?

ii) If 5 people in a hospital all needed an organ transplant to survive, and there were no suitable donors. And a visitor happened to have the suitable organs for all 5 people - would the killing of the visitor to save the life of the other 5 be justified ?
