Why? How do you do it if you do? Why do you care? When do you do it? Everyone does at one point or another, but why do we care when everyone has different opinions?

I know this isn't a question but I figured I would put this here.

If you did answer my question about how religion as we know it could just be a cult, then thank you.

This was partly my opinion, part experiment.

I find it interesting how people are willing to completely trust something that shows no proof of existing. How strong people's faith is and how it can completely thwart their views on reality. It taints their thoughts, for the good and bad. How they won't even acknowledge what is so plainly obvious.

That question was intended to step on toes, provoke anger, and most importantly, deep thought.

I found it interesting that many of those that agreed with me were Pagans, those said to be EVIL. Yet, ironically, that religion, which if you Christians took time to look into, is the most accepting of people, the one that doesn't judge.

For those answered or even just viewed my question, thank you. If anyone has any opinions on it still, go ahead and put it here.

I am hispanic and my wife is white. I am always making jokes about hispanics, mi raza, mi gente, for example my hispanic neighboard first painted her wall then proceded to fix it. Isn't that backwards? I thought it was funny.

My wife always says that I am racist, I tell her that I joke about hispanics because I know how we behave. That is not racist from my point of view.

One thing I have learned though is not to joke with white people with hispanic humor. Example:

We were in a family reunion and my wife's grandmother asked me if I liked dogs? I answered " Yes, I loved them, they taste like chicken ", It has taken my wife more than 5 years just to start to understand my humor.
What do you think? I am racist against my people?

You go into most churches and hanging on a cross he appears disoriented and miserable like he's confused about himself. The bible says, HE HAD THE OIL OF GLADNESS MORE THAN HIS ENEMIES. What gives?

id say once at my uncles house, i crashed the night there. i got up at like 3 am to go pee, and i saw an old woman walkin away from me down the hall, i didnt think anything of it as i went into the bathroom. i just thought it was his elderly mom. the next morning he told me that his house is haunted and that his mom left earlier that nite, and sometimes he hears the toilet flushing, so i guess i was second to use the toilet that nite after the ghost did. now i always turn on all the lights all the way to my destination anywhere in his house. it was pretty frightening to know what i saw and i wasnt even effected!

How do you explain the bible's existence? It is a collection of 66 books written by 40 different authors over 1500 years with complete unity & harmony. It's translated into 1800 languages and #1 bestseller every year.
Note: rude answers demonstrate a spirit searching for Jesus :-)

im disspointed to hear lot of crticisms direct at Islam and its people, they mention Islam says kill those who dnt belive, etc, which is lots of bullocks, Islam says dnt killl, make dialogue, make peace, but defend urselfs if u have to do, Islam came about because people were sinning, and people were not following what God wants them follow, so Islam got establish to make people change and go to the straight path, im disspointed to see ppl still say Islam is voilent and tells t kill non belives, yet we stress again and again its not, Islam says about Non-Belivers that leave them alone but if you get attackes its cuz u r belivers and they r non belivers so defend urself, Islam knows that if ur good Christian, good Jew or da den u wnt get attacked as all relgions tell to live in peace, but Islam also knows its religion will be attack ands its followers becasue they hate what u worship and there fore makes the attackes non belivers so to get rid of dem as self defense for toi prevail.

What's with all this white Jesus BS? Have you been to the middle east? Have you ever seen a native "white" person? Very few, that is correct. And the white people who are there now, were not there in Jesus' times, thank you immigration. The overwhelming truth is that JESUS CHRIST was a black, or very dark skinned man. Deal with it.

I was at a football game friday night and there were these junior high/high school girls like behind me and they talked in such made up high pitched voices. and one screamed and she said "wait that was too girly".

Their voices seem way too made up. Even if they arn't a "cheerleader" they talk like one.

*not singleing out any cheerleaders...just giving an example*

Im not talking about all christians on this site, some are actually nice and are respectful, but I dislike those who dont have any respect for others beliefs so they feel the need to bible bash and pound their religious beliefs into others because they dont believe the same way. I think this is one of many reasons why I am very turned off to the christian religion... I grew up in a christian environment, went to many different churches and have seen way to many hypocrites and close minded individuals. If you wanted to inform others about your religion thats fine but when they sit there and judge you and belittle you, I feel as though they are just hypocrites themselves. Even the bible says to not judge others because thats not up to you thats up to your god!!! I think it would be possible for all of us to get along more if there wasnt more people trying to force religion on others and saying derrogatory judgemental things while trying to proove their points. Wouldnt you agree?
