Many friends of mine have been to Japan. While their host families, and other polite people (shop owners, etc) were extremely polite and kind, they felt very hated in public. The term "white dog" was often used. I am an American and harbor no hard feelings whatsoever against the Japanese for Pearl Harbor. I've done research about the why's and the embarassment the Japanese still have over the issue. Why, then, if I can forgive Pearl Harbor, can't they forgive Hiroshima/Nagasaki? For one thing, I personally had nothing to do with the bomb. Why would I be called a white dog in Japan when I have nothing but respect and awe for the culture?

John 8:24: "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins." John 8:58: "Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am."
John 13:19: "From now on I tell you before it comes to pass in order that when it does happen, you may believe that I am."
John 18:5-6: "They answered Him, "Jesus the Nazarene." He said to them, "I am." And Judas also, the one who betrayed Him, was standing with them. Therefore when He said to them, "I am," they went backwards and fell upon the ground."

does't even bother to argue that there faith is false. It seems all secular/atheist spend all their time trying to expose that christianity is false. They obviosly do that because it seems to most people that even if there was a "real" god it would seem most logical that it would be the judeo christian one. I not try to agitate anyone, I guess what i'm really trying to ask is................... do islamic people ever wish their religion could recieve more validation from people actually bothering to argue against it

It goes
"Who hear the ghosts and the goblins cry?
They get to wishin' for the days gone by
When the little kids were frightened, it was said,
Only by the ghouls who were dead"
The song is about how Halloween has been ruined by fear of psychos who are going to put razors in candy or something. It jokes about trick or treating at the mall and being a "ninja in a down coat at four in the afternoon". Its funny.
Who is it by? What is it called?

The more I learn, the more I realize that many things are purposely kept hidden from non-believers !! Much knowledge seems to be gained later !!

Its not Lord Of The Rings. The bible is based on actual historical events.Actual places, people, and events. Look in to it before you decide.

It is obvious from the decorations that it is the 'devils holiday'. I don't understand how one's who call themselves 'Christians' can celebrate it. And training their children to do the same? I certainly can't see Jesus dressing up as a demon, or anything else for that matter.

I am very disappointed in you.

It's obvious that none of you are True Creationists, since you don't think that your position can withstand a scientific debate.

Why else would you avoid discussing evolution with the experts on evolution????
