Should we just ignore those stupid questions and remarks about religion and muslims and machos, instead of giving them the satisfaction to receive lots of answers

Don't want anti-anyone answers for this. But the ongoing conflict is just heartbreaking. Old Testament. Ezekiel 47:21-23 seems to announce that the land of Israel would no longer be the exclusive property of the Jews. "You are to distribute this land among yourselves to the tribes of Israel. You are to allot it as an inheritance for your and for the aliens (non-Israelites) who have settle among you and who have children. You are to consider them as native born Israelites; along with you they are to alotted an interitance among the tribes of Israel.....[goes on] (Ezekial is a long book and prophetical and the time this is suppose to happen is not known by me, but this sounds like a command to share the land with non-Jews on an equal footing. While God originally allowed Israel to take the land by force against huge odds, in the future (or the present) he has new instructions.

Should Israel rethink their hold on the land? Both religions believe God owns the land, not people.

1. Should we fight for our rights, as christians, and try to stop the world changing?
2. Should we tell people to repent and find Christ, for, 'Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.' St. John 14:6
3. Do both of the above?
4. Do something else? Please Explain.

I would also appreciate reasons as to why you selected one of these answers above.

Just for fun... It didn't have to happen, just describe the most awkward situation that you can think of. Most awkward/original idea gets the points.

Ive been a christian for 3 years, now I feel that I'm so tired of becoming a christian. God seems to do nothing in my life, He still has not saved my family. I am all alone on this journey...my fire for the Lord has burnt out...what should I do?

I'm asking yesterdays question in a different, less provocative way-

A man sees a homeless peroson from a distance. As he approches, he sees he is a different colour and race to himself. Based purely on the grounds of the mans colour he:
1. Gives him money for food
2. Beats him up.

Most non-believers were born and brainwashed to be cristitian. They were baptized, confirmed and went to church and bibel class. When we reached adulthood, we could see the folly of it, and rejected it. cristitians, moslems, hindus and the rest should throw out their early childhood brainwashing and grow up.

Here is my situ, been in this relationship for a year, this man is 12 years older and is very riach. I live on my own and so does he, after dating for about 4 months, he started giving me money and furnished my house. bought me expensive clothes, shoes and a car even.
Then two months ago he went to see his sangoma who told him to marry me immediatly as my ex boyfriend would come back in my life and snatch me away from him. When he said this i actually laughed and thought it was silly reason to marry.
He got so upset and hit me, ,then and there i decided to have nothing to do with me, he begged and begged but i still resisted. Then he asked me to give him back all he ever got for me, i allowed him to come over and sweep my house.
Now he said he wants all the money back to, the money spent on trips, presents, shopping, all he has ever given me amounting to 75 thousand rands according to him.
He said he is actually suing me for this, Is he insane or should i be scared?

Most of these people are so far from practicing the principles of the Bible that it greatly upsets me to be associated with them. The Bible even says that these kind of people, paticularly our Republican leaders, are not truly Christian even if they claim to be. Why do a lot of non-Christians seem to think that this is what it means to be Christian?

I've just seen the advert for a new Channel 5 show which shows five people and their 'issues'. One has 'sleep with one of your students' as his issue.
A while back I fell out with a friend who was a university lecturer who slept with a student. Even though the student was not studying anything the lecturer taught I found it a real abuse of power.
Was my anger justified?

This would obviously have to be a rough transliteration as most of our keyboards can not type in Arabic calligraphy, let alone type from right to left as in Arabic script. Thanks in advance.

I'm not religous or anything, I just sometimes feel that given that we are a Christian country, and i recently heard that some other religions considered Christmas celebrations to be racist because we put up lights.
