Please inlighten me about the fanatics who read and quote the bible,I`m familiar with the Baptists and they think their belief is the only one.Went to one of there services Sunday and found it not very spiritual,just like a big meeting.Trying not to pre-judge but find it hard since they feel you have to believe as they do to be saved.Any comments

People have stated that science has proven that the bible is a fairytale, but give no facts to suport this. For the believers what does science and history prove is true?

These days kids are FORCED to either promote homosexuality or keep their mouths shut if thanks to the GSA nazis (among others) and God forbid that anything but evolution be taught in public schools because that would just be wrong. If it gets any worse they'll start arresting kids for even saying "God" in school. Seperation of church and state was put out there so that we all aren't forced to believe the same thing, but apparently evolutionism is exempt from said seperation.

In my town, we now call him 'Quanell Ten'. He doesn't even deserve to use a ripoff version of the name 'Malcolm X' although that shows his lack of intelligence. Boy gotta be an imitator.

Question is...after you Google his name and read of his ignorance...he wants his thug bruthas to go to white neighborhoods and kill as many crackers as possible.
Think he's pretending to resolve what he considers to be hate crimes? Or just another thug who doesn't really want to work and just wants publicity? He has no credibility with anyone who has an IQ over 20. Educated Black leaders want nothing to do with him.
Want him in your town? He's coming.

ive been a real b*tch to my friend lately. i don't know why, i guess i've been stupid, but i've been lying to her, and saying anything that comes to my head about her. like instead of saying "we should hang out some time".... "so.. do you hang out with people on the weekend" therefore turning it into an insult. ive also been acting like im fishing for compliments in front of her, being narcisstic, obnoxious... in short everything i dont want to be. is there any way to clear the slate between us w/o zapping away her memory before its too late?

We here and see news that Muslim faith tells that anyone who does not believe as they do needs to die. Are there any free thinkers in the Muslim world that challenge this notion? Or do they truely believe everyone is just going to fall in line? I dont get it. What's the story?

Methodists, Presbyterians, Catholic bishops, Reform Church, etc all have stated that they encourage the registration and/or PROHIBITION of handguns in the United States! Is there a church that realizes that it is citizens with guns that ensure freedom of religion?

Okay this isn't really a question, more of a rambling, but I was wondering if this happens with anyone else. Late at night, does anyone else get super emotional? Like everything is sad? Cuz that happened to me last night, but it pretty much happenens everynight. Like my sister made all these squiggles on a peice of paper, and I stared at it for 10 minutes and started getting teary eyed. I feel like I wanna talk to someone, a stranger, a friend...a lover. So I usually go on a site like habbo or awol, and just walk around talking my head off. I also get bad cabin fever and once I went bike riding at 2:00 in the morning and didn't come back till 3:15. Why does that happen? Does it happen to anyone else?

Mine is that books will fail to exist within the next 100 years, replaced by movies, TV and video games as the way that people transmit fiction...

If you haven't seen the video, it's here:

I would like to know your thoughts. I personally think this was no big deal, he called the man what he was. Look, there are white people, black people, crackers/white trash, *******, etc. I'm not calling all black people ****** but there certainly are some of them -- the rude, loud, ignorant, and obnoxious ones. If you call someone a cracker, it's not nearly as bad as calling someone a ******.

Michael Richards might have lost his cool, but he wasn't EXTREMELY out of line. The guys were talking during his entire show! Like one of the YouTube'rs commented, if Chris Rock had said this, this wouldn't even be an issue.

Again, I'm not a racist, this is merely how I feel about this issue. So what are your views?

This in my opinion is an underrated virtue and one that is not impressed upon children, how do you think we can instil this value on our children to create a better society?
