I am about to breakup with my girlfriend of three years. I want to see how dating outside of my race would be. I think caucasion females treat alot of there partners better than alot of black girls I know. Is there anyone out there for me?

Those huge churches with coffee shops and book stores and rich pastors who talk about tithing alot scare the crap out of me..almost as much as the people who go to them....

I think a church and a pastor should never be too rich...what are your views on this?

I've spent a lot of my life trying to help people, to get close to people, and to make them happy when they're down.

Most of my attempts have met with utter failure, so absolute that I've come to a point where I honestly just don't care about people too much anymore. I'll always be willing to help them but I'm tired of going out of my way just to be met w/ anger and fear.

I'm also gay (but in the closet) and though its something that I've fought with for the longest time, I've learned to accept it and I choose not to make an effort to change what I feel is a natural compulsion (the attraction was always there I just didn't really feel it until after puberty).

I choose to remain "a sinner" in these two respects and I am not ashamed of either of them.

Every other sin I do my best to repent for and I'm still to many people "the nicest guy in the world".

So, if I choose not to repent for these two sins, will I go to hell, or will my other good deeds outweigh them?

My parents think i'm crazy! But when i chat to family members they say that "special powers" run in my family! Are my parents trying to protect me? I have often predicted births and then it happens, i also just have to think of a song or movie and it starts playing after about 5 minutes. Am i going crazy? Or do my parents want to hide me from the truth?

I figured I'd ask this again since there is a big Christian crowd on today. I asked a question about why we have to ask forgiveness for sinning if we have no choice but to sin because the bible says we all will. I was told that we have free will to sin or not. The problem is that the bible specifically says that no matter what we do, we can't live a life without sin. We all have to sin at some point. Free will would give us the choice to either sin or not sin, so in what sense do we have free will if we have no choice but to sin?? Can you enlighten me please??

I dread sending out Christmas cards every year. I don't even really like receiving them. Anyone else feel that way? And, do I have to send cards to relatives that I don't like and haven't spoken to in years? (like my old, crusty great-aunts that don't even know my name)

Why is it that Christians, Jews, and others laugh at jokes made at their expense, but whenever anyone says anything even slightly humorous about Muslims, they riot in the streets and start killing people?

Why are you here? Why do you come to R&S --really, the real reason. Is it to try to get christians upset? We do not take anything you say personally- and we actually pray for you. But I am curious to know the REAL reason you come here- are you hoping to find some truth about God? Or do you just believe in relegion? Why is it you come here and are so profane. It is more sad than anything- and I honestly hope and pray that your heart will be softened one day to the truth of God. Or else why would you be here?

I think it is just a way to control people and scare them into conforming. Just wondering what you believe hell is like if you believe in it.

I never really thought about it till yesterday. I was reading a text message and I almost completely drifted into another lane. Everyone talks about cell phone usage as dangerous... but what about not talking on the phone...but what about texting. don't you think this poses a higher risk?

Ten points to the first person who can tell me what language it is and give me an accurate translation. Period.

Μπορεί να είναι μια αγάπη τόσο ισχυρή; Σας βλέπω στα όνειρά μου. Χορεύετε στις σκιές των βλέφαρών μου, χαμόγελο και γέλιο. Θέλει να μοιραστεί εκείνο το όνειρο με σας. Ξυπνώ το πρωί σε ένα κενό δωμάτιο, ο πορτοκαλής ήλιος που λάμπει μέσω των ρωγμών στις κουρτίνες μου και των φωνών στο ραδιόφωνο. Τέντωμα του βραχίονά μου πέρα από το κρεβάτι που ελπίζει, με λίγη τύχη. Μια ημέρα, Μπορώ ακριβώς να αρπάξω τη λαβή σας.
