i'm from south east asia and have had limited contact with yanks, save through celluloid. my friends studying in the states have suffered a lot of racism, so i've always had an impression that people there are judged by colour a lot. this forum has opened my eyes. and to the minority giving your country a bad rep, up yours!

I am having dreams concerning a murder and it is causing me to have a sense of foreboding during waking hours. The murder is of someone I don't know and I see the murderer's face. I feel the victim's terror and pain. I KNOW the murderer will kill again. I have had these dream s all week. Yesterday I read about a murder fitting in with the dream in the paper. My fear is the murderer is a serial killer. He is trolling for vicitms right now. Any advice on how to deal with the feelings I have concerning the dreams?

If you don't believe in this keep it to yourself.

Some say that "God uses abortion..." perhaps referring to a naturally occurring process of eggs being "aborted" during the process of a woman becoming pregnant or to abortions that occur naturally because of complications, etc that are not induced by man. But if you apply such an argument to abortion, must you not apply it to murder then as well? For consider that God allows people to die every day by way of natural events in life (not man-induced), as well as even commanded many to go to war and kill people under the Old Covenant. Does this then justify murder (or does it make God a hypocrite since He commands us not to murder but allows such deaths to occur)? I believe that we ought not be afraid of death, for it ultimately brings us closer to God, but who are we to stand in the place of God by determining who lives and who dies?

It was written by men not God. It was written about 200 years after Jesus died and has been re-translated numerous times. Even some hard core Christian Fundamentalists (like William Jennings Bryan) have admitted that it some of it does not make sense.

So why do people assume it's God's word? Who was the comedian who said "The Bible was written by a bunch of Jesus' friends, and you know how friends always mess up stories."

Even my professors (who are educated) claim that the Bible should never be used as a factual, history book. Why don't Christians keep an open mind and maybe just consider that it is not all 100% fact and should never be taken literally? Why does their faith depend on it?

I have been cleaning shop windows for 10 years now and have noticed how people entering a shop always interupt the cleaning of the doors instead of using the other door, which happensd to right next to the door being cleaned. Also when exiting the shop and I have moved onto the other door they again interupt.

Act 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.


This is Paul's testimony of his conversion. He says he told to be baptized, washing away his sins, calling upon the name of the Lord. He does not refute it. He openly proclaims it. Does this mean that he had his sins washed away in baptism in Jesus' Name? That is what it says. Why does eveyone have a hard time accepting this. It is in the book.

I am sick and tired of it! I am Caucasian and obviously from European descent. I do not refer to myself as "Caucasian American" simply because I do not define myself by my ancestry. I define myself by who I am and what I have accomplished and contributed to our society. Why do some of our citizens insist on clinging to the ethnicity of their ancestors when it has NOTHING to do with WHERE AND WHO they are? Get over it and live in the present!

Please read the following sentence, firstly,thank you
"We should use our old moral values and love of peace as the foundation of national reconstruction."
What if I replaced the phrase of "love of peace"by "love to peace"or "love for peace"?And "love about peace"?
Will I break the original meaning of that sentence by doing so?and Why?
Thank you very much.

I see horrible images of hopeless and helpless people, gaunt listless children held by mothers who are starving and wasting away from disease and I want to help them. But I don't want my money to go to scam artists, or high-overhead agencies, or corrupt warring groups in Africa. I want to know that any help I send goes directly to providing food to people. Are there any organizations that have a good record for getting aid to the places that it is needed?
