why do white people call black people coloured? i mean for gods sake! they were born black, they grew up black, when they're sick they are black, when they go out in the sun they are black, when they are cold they are black and when they die they are black.

us on the other hand, when we were born we were pink, when we're sick we are green, when we stay in the sun we go red, when we're cold we go blue and when we die we go purple.

and yet, we have the nerve to call them coloured?


who else feels this way? i have had a very strong opion on this since i was about 7 (im now 13, 14 in about 13 days)

has anyone got any views on this to share?

being gay is a choice? How do you know that, if you don't have the feelings that we do?

...why does the religious right keep taking scriptures written specifically for the Levitical Priesthood and applying them to modern man? Why do they ignore the fact that when Paul gave us Romans 1:26-27, he was referring to temple prostitution and not romantic relationships? Why did Jesus never utter one word about homosexuality, but talked a lot about adultery within marriage? Why does the Bible specifically refer to the apostle John as "the apostle that Jesus loved" but never attributes this affection to any of the other apostles? Why did God tell Adam and Eve to "replenish" the earth if it had never been previously populated? Go figure.

that people of today won't let go of because they're afraid of non-existent consequences?

I'm talking about Passions, Days of our lives, etc. Why are the stories so unreal and non-stop? One day, a husband would be happy with his wife, and then he would get lost on an island with his memory gone, and married another woman, and then pirates would make him slaves.

That seems to be the way soap operas are made here in America.

I've seen Korean, Filipino, and Mexican soaps and all of them have good stories and they always end, and they make a new one.

you never see athiests saying theyre the best on the street so why do these preachers bother...i don't think it can work that well and they really must offend people (homosexuals, people of other religions etc)

Sidewalk preaching should be banned.

Alright, let me start off by saying I'm not an atheist or a believer, I'm kinda stuck in the middle I guess. I went to church when I was younger, was raised in a very Christian home, but as I got older, I began to have doubts about the whole God thing. I guess I don't understand how, if God created the whole Earth, why do people believe in different Gods? I mean, if he created all of us, how did Buddha and all them other things come to be? Why is God only worshipped in certain places? I have read the Bible, and all I really remember is "to live in fear of God" which makes it sound like all of this religon stuff is just to scare us into being good. I live my day to day life thinking of God, you know, if I do this, is it wrong? Or will I go to hell for doing this? stuff like that, but in the back of my mind I don't think there is a God. I just want to know if anybody else thinks like this. I mean, if anything good happens to me, I take it as a blessing from God, if something bad happens,

I don't really see the difference, no offense, but it just seems that suddenly accepting 'one way' doctrines or else is on the same level of close-minded brainwashing. Could you somehow persuade me this is not the case without giving me copy/pasted bible quotations that I've already read and within this point explained to be part of the brainwashing?

Satan is doing that and 'you must believe this to be saved' stuff is really ridiculous. Instead of analyzing the situations at hand, reading up on the areas that are struggling, and knowing the people that are said through the media to be 'evil and wrong'. you'd realize everything is based on where you're born, and how you're brought up.

All this whacky dark-age 'devil stuff' is just naive ignorance trying to scare people into following certain behaviors. It's not 'real', it has never been proven, and never will. Yes, there are some '******* up' people out there, but if you had the time to know them and realize where they came from, you'd find out why they became that way. It's very unlikely some devil went inside them and is puppeteering their actions.

Many of the answers in here about spiritual warfare, and biblical prophercies sound like stuff out a stephen king book, or a Hollywood movie. You can see the influence. It's not reality people, relax.

Recently a friend told me about a movement called The Brights. The goal seems to be to give atheists, agnostics, and humanists a positive image makeover in people's minds. Similar to the effect the term "gay" had for gays. Richard Dawkins is the best-known proponent.

What do you think? Is the movement necessary? What do you think of the name?
