Corinthians 2 6:14 states: "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers". Aren't Christians that follow this rather dubious book compelled to leave since they are well aware that there are plenty of unbelievers on here?

I just answerd a question that kind made me think. This person who posted the question seemed to think that black people think all white people are racist, and think that whites get treated better in society. Well, they do, and no matter how many times people deny it, it's still the truth. Why are they getting angry about it? Because it negates the "blacks being the most racist" thing?

Seriously, I know that it says in the Bible (sorry I'll use Christianity as an example) to convert people who arent Christian. But why still do it in this day and age when it can cause so much trouble?
A lot of Christians get angry if they simply hear what my religion is, yet they expect us to listen and except theres with open arms.
I am not trying to say that all Christians do this, but some do.
I guess I'm trying to say why push your religion on others, would you really like it if others pushed their religion on you?
I mean no disrespect, its just that I cannot imagine telling someone they are lost without my faith and that they should convert. I wouldnt push my religion on anyone, I will discuss it openly if people ask but not try and sell it to them.
Any thoughts?

I have a couple questions about omens in candle burning during the casting of spells. I know there are people who don't believe in magic or omens, but for those that do believe or at least have some knowledge of the matters:

On a glass encased candle, what does it mean when you end up with lines of wax and herbs left on the glass after the candle has burned out? They aren't in complete rings, but in half or quarter circles.

And regarding the sparking of candles, I have heard a couple different theories relating usually to someone or something talking, but would like to know any other possible opinions or knowledge of what it is. The other day I was burning candles for 3 related honey-jar spells, and though I had used the types of candles and dressing before, on that day they ALL began to flicker, pop and fizz like fireworks! They did not do it again the next day, so I was wondering what that was about if anyone can guess.

Thank you everyone!

I'm saying nothing against them but the media does nothing to promote the gay cabbie profile. if like george michael he had been cruising public parks/toilets on the prowl would you not worry he would fall asleep at the wheel?
if they had the temperament of elton john would you not worry that changing your mind about the destination could provoke a foot stamping drama queen tantrum thus distracting him from the road?
or, if it was someone like saun from coronation street he would be constantly ogling you in the rear view mirror/dropping stuff into the back seat to cop a cheap feel.
maybe they had best stick to hairdressing.
may i point out that i am by no means homophobic!

Wouldn't people with disabilities prefer others to know that there are things they can do, albeith with a handicap, than give the impression that they are ineffectual? For example, if I told you that my car had been disabled, you would tend to think that it was out of commission - not that one of its headlamps wasn't working.

I mean the Old Testament is a collection of stories, myths and fables that were told from generation to generation in the jewish community, so who actually sat down and wrote all of that?
How about the New Testament, the four disciples that wrote it, were they like " ok you write your version , I write mine then we put all of them together?"
How did the Bible as we know it come about?
