If they have always been Christianized and or Westernized, has this anything to do with the history of Western influence in, say, Africa, for example - such as Rome's influence during imperial times and the influence of Saint Augustine Of Hippo etc?

If black Americans did once have their own religion, culture and language, what happened to it all? Have they become assimilated?

I am trying to be as neutral as possible - and peace to those of African decent - so please try and understand my question, which is geared towards culture and religion (and it is not about racism).

My friends and I went to New Orleans and decided to go into this voo-doo shop. As soon as I stepped in there I got this really bad scary evil (hard to explain) feeling in my heart and soul. HAs this ever happened to anyone else. I really am not crazy. What was that feeling called?

And even though I love boys who aren't from my own race, it sucks to get rejected and put down from your own kind.

Ironically, my friend has the opposite problem.

Is this normal?

In these times when we are burying good American Soldiers in a horrible 3rd world country, and remembering the outcome of every other horrible conflict especially WW11, why do people still hold on to symbols like the swaztika, the sickel, the iron fist, etc., and insist on fighting a losing battle? Insulting isnt it? Personally doesnt it insult your intelligence, and your whole being as an American?

I was reading the answers to this question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ard1UGRPGfFCV6_4gA0K0svzy6IX?qid=20061124115910AAyWfAa

The question simply asks if Hitler could have made it to Heaven if he repented his sins. Some answers state that Hitler didn't make it to Heaven, bcs he killed himself, an unforgivable sin.

Do Christians honestly believe that their God finds suicide a bigger sin than killing around 6,000,000 jews?

Or is it more like "oh damn, Hitler could have made it to Heaven, that seems hard to explain..ah wait, he killed himself...yay! that means I have an explanation and I don't have to think anymore about the subject" ?

My grandparents are in their early 70's and not very active.
They are finacially stable, and anything they need or want, they get themselves. Every year I struggle to get them a nice gift and usually end up getting them a gift certificate to a restaurant.

This year I want to do something better than usual, yet still stay around $25 total.

Any ideas would be great.
(I am a single girl- oldest grandchild- in my mid 20's)

Thanks!

people Lucifer was a man a Babylonian king not angel.

Isa 14:4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!

Isa 14:12How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, [and] consider thee, [saying, Is] this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

it is clear that Isiah is talking about the fall of the Babylonian empire to the Persians. and it has been said that when nebakanezer took Israel he bragged to them that he would sit on their gods throne. i don't know where this came from that it was talking about Satan but it is clear that this is a man any one that would like to debate this with me is free to email me

Is it possible that Mary Magdelene had Jesus' baby? Could there be decendents of him today? Also, was there no cup called the holy grail? If there is, then why isn't it in the painting of the last supper? And aren't there any documents that are 2,000 years old that say anything about Jesus? And does anybody know anything about the unexcavated vault beneath the Rosslyn Chapel?
(It's okay if you can't answer all of these questions...anything you know would be great)

Helaman 3:9-11 indicates that cement as a structural material began to be used around the 1st century B.C. Critics once ridiculed this as wildly out of place for the Americas. But in recent decades, it has become well known that ancient Mesoamericans did in fact use cement in their buildings - and this appears to have begun about when the Book of Mormon says it did.
See http://www.jefflindsay.com/myturn.shtml

And how did Joseph Smith know there was volcanic activity in mesoamerican about 30 CE?

I'm not a Mormon, but I'm coming close. Nobody is providing me with answers as to why the book of Mormon contains accurate stuff Joseph Smith could not have know. I don't want to switch if I don't have to...but I really want some answers.
