Is that why we have no proof of a god?

Think about all the problems that Jesus could have solved. At the very least, Jesus could have transcribed passages into the Bible that would have ended sexism, racism and slavery forever.

As the simplest example, think of all of the suffering that slavery has caused. Millions upon millions of people have suffered through the bondage and the remarkable brutality of slavery because Jesus and his Bible fully support it. If Jesus had simply made a clear statement -- "Slavery is forbidden, free all the slaves" -- he could have prevented all of that suffering. Yet Jesus did nothing of the sort. Instead, Jesus endorsed slavery.

In the same way, Jesus could have chosen women to be six of his apostles and made several speeches on the topic of women's equality. By doing that, he would have put a huge dent in sexism. Because Jesus did not do that, we still see the effects of Jesus' sexism in our society today.

I have met good and bad of all races; and the reality is ~ we are all part of the human race. Do you stick with "your own kind" because you have the same interests (music,etc.) or do you invite diversity in your friendship with others?

I'm thinking of dressing up as Moses. I like the idea, but I don't want to offend anyone. Is this considered sacreligious/poor taste etc? It's not as if I would be portraying Moses in any certain light, I just want to dress up as him.

Are Islam-bashers aware of the fact they are, unwittingly perhaps, taking part in a large-scale concerted effort to lay the grounds for a Final Solution similar to the Holocaust, which they might come to denounce and abhor if it ever takes place. (Just like Moslems nowadays, Jews were singled out and blamed for all evils in the world.)

Such eventuality being ruled out, don’t they think that this global denigration will necessarily lead to the rallying of Moslems, en masse, to the cause of the Radicals and to the concomitant chaos on a biblical scale?

If we could have a party for Olga, preferably an Olga bash, or better yet an Olga roast, would we be able to sell any tickets? Why would anyone want to come? I am asking this because her questions are hideously horrifying, they are inhumane and she is shocking with her violence towards people that have done nothing to her. Is she so horrified by her own life that she or HE has to try to make our lives miserable, well who is sick and tired of Olga crossing the lines of humanity? If enough people report her for her abusive behavior, then we could have an Olga roast, yeah. Sounds like a winner to me. I know I am not the only one who is disgusted by Olga's horrid comments about our lifestyles. There is nothing wrong with us loving each other just because we happen to be the same sex. Love is love. We are loving people, why let this beast of burdon continue to taunt us the way that she thinks she has the right to.

I am a first-year University student and taking intermediate French this year as an extra module. One of my goals is to be able to speak fluent french & also to retain a full french certificate of competence by the time I graduate. I was wondering if there are any fluent French speakers out there who are willing to help me improve my French through MSN messenger. If you wish to be more discreet with your contact details etc you can always send me a private message.

Merci beaucoup! ;)

Think about this. Let's say all the religions in the world disappeared, and only one remained. Suppose everybody converted to Christianity, or everybody converted to Islam, or to Buddhism, or Hinduism, or Judaism or whatever. We figured out which one was the true religion, so everybody converted to it. What will happen then? Why do you think religion is a social thing? Why isn't it personal? Why do you go to church, or temple, or synagogue? It's because there are other religions in the world, and the society you live in is trying to oppose them. If there was only one religion, you wouldn't go to church anymore. It'll be pointless. What I'm trying to say here, is that organized religions exist only to oppose each other. And that religion is true only when it's personal.
Well, what do you think? Please don't quote the bible or the quran, or any other religious book. Quote only yourself. Thank you.
