my niece is at university in birmingham and works in a well known designer shop. she is the only white person there. the others are of asian origin etc. they ignore her and talk in their mother tongue between themselves. is this not race discrimination. if the boot was on the other foot it would make national headlines!

so many Christians seem to think The Big Bang is the only answer any science minded individual could have? The only possibility?

Why do Christians seem to think that science already knows all there is to know and that human kind will never know more than we do right now?

Isn't that rather closed minded and foolish?

You ask "What was there before the Big Bang" and then, when it can't be answered, you point that out as being "fact in support of god".

It doesn't mean there's no support. It only means we don't know YET. There's more for us to discover. That doesn't mean science won't find out, it just means we don't know RIGHT NOW.

At least we don't claim that we do know everything right now like Christianity tries to do.

The Bible says that Hell lasts forever but then Revelations says that Hell will be destroyed someday.

"A priest acknowledged Thursday that he used to go naked in saunas with Mark Foley decades ago when the former congressman was a boy in Florida, but denied that the two had sex."

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15329373/

Mark Foley was raped by a Catholic priest in his childhood, and that incident destroyed his life, and lost him his Job as a politician, if that is what the most religious Followers of Jesus do, i'd hate to see the actions of the less religious ones.

SHAME.

I'm talking about the pronoun I, as in : "I went to school today".
I was told when I took English classes that the correct way to write it is " I ", not " i ".
But why?


Thank you!

I live where it rains a lot and one of my pleasures in life is walking barefoot in the rain and on wet grass after it rains. It is a simple pleasure that costs nothing. I enjoy it.

Someone had to teach them something in their ministries,and give them some ideas on how to manage them.Whatever ideas they came up with,I'm sure they didn't come up with them all on their own!I've read a lot of things about them,but never anything on the people who may or may not have mentored them.

They asked me to find out, if you don't mind. They expect an invitation soon, too, if I may sound just a bit urgent. They can get a little testy if they have to wait too long.

Personally I think that it is Hinduism. It is considered to be a mythical religion which is false and by Christian standards "the path to hell". But then there is great intelligence behind it so much that it justifies all religions and discriminates non even Islam or Christianity which consider Hinduism primitive. If you take a great look into it there is great intelligence like the Gita and the Vedas
which basically point out that the goal of mankind is to reach a higher understanding of human existence. We do not worship
cows as it is rumored we just consider it sacred because it gives mankind important resources and was the source to basic survival. We believe in one god and that is Vishnu and he can be called Jesus, Zeus, Allah, Buddha etc. The reason why it seems
so primitive today even when it has intelligence that goes to over
10,000 years. The reason why it is considered the lowest faith is because of
Muslim rumors which have spread and believed about cow worship or
Sects which are false and many types’ movies. Even while the world and other famous religions discriminate it and call it “cow worship” or “idol worship” we continue to praise all religions and wept at pope John Paul’s death. As here are prayers in the Roman tongue similarly we say prayers in our tongue both glorifies god. Well that’s why I think it is the Hindu religion that is most terribly misunderstood while those 3,000,000 Hindu gods are actually angels who serve god. Well to keep this a question which other religion might be the most misunderstood which do you think?
