Should we doubt all of our memory-based beliefs that do not have empirical evidence of their occurance?

I do not even know much of the historical background of the word n*****, but I find it much more condescending than cracker for some strange reason.

let's face it when it comes to other people religions 90% of us are ignorant. so i'm interested to find out what sort of things we don't know about each others religion.
please no hateful comments or statements such as "this is the true religion" "other religion is false" etc.
you don't have to write 5 things, but give it a go.

Tv has brainwashed our entire population. Women and men dress like the characters on television, they buy I pods shop at target and walmart and buy things they don't really need. All anyone ever talks about is current events from the television. Have you forgotten that TV is about ratings, why do we depend so much on TV for our information. The news is about ratings not giving you "just the facts" or the truth. Do we not want the truth. 90% of the world hates the U.S. and thats not just terrorists, is there a valid reason why most of the world disagrees with our governments actions and our war?

If the Koran is of God, and the Bible is of God, then why do they conflict on something as basic as 1) the Nature of Christ, and 2) the veracity of the Crucifixion and its purpose?
How can God contradict Himself?

Arent stores a public place? So why should i, as an non christian and someone who knows that theres no god, have to hear that garbage when i'm in there? Why dont they just play normal music instead of that retardation with songs such as hail to the new born king (oh please) and silent night (ya its silent alright, cause theres no god).

I clearly belive that Maryland/Virginia are southern states!
Many People object to the idea of Virginia and Maryland being southern. Im from Maryland so I know. I hate it when people that don't know me come in my face with all that "yankee" crap...i aint no yankee...im myself! And I absolutly HATE when people say that VA an MD are rude, inconciterate, uneducated, boring, bad drivers. Im fun, nice, and filled with GREAT hospitality.

Next Subject: Civil war/M&D line.

If everyone knows that MD and VA are BELOW the Mason Dixon Line... why do some people feel the need to say that MD and VA are Northern????
It's quite -how can i say- IDIOTIC! Yes, folks, I know that the MDL was not made to divide the north and the south, but It's pretty usefull to divide the two. Doncha think???...About the civil war...VA was apart of the confeds...i can't lie, BUT MD was FORSED to become apart of the union and most of the people wanted to be with the feds.(yuddah im sayin)...

I live in San Francisco, and there are many people who beg on the streets. They claim it's for food, some are honest and say they want a beer. It is an all day everyday occurance. I have given money and food to some in the past, but these people are really starting to get on my nerves. One even accused me of being racist. Got news for them, I am not racist and I do not have money to give away to all these people. They take one look at me and think I'm a millionaire. I'm far from it.

One main reason I don't give anything to them anymore is they are mostly scammers, lazy people who refuse to do anything for themselves. And there are plenty of places here in the City that help the less fortunate. It's these kind of folks that make it even more difficult for the ones out there who really do need the help.

Matt 17:20 He said to them, "Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain,'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

How do you measure your faith to determine if it's mustard-seed-like enough?
