I was just in all of those places and slaves from the congo and malawi are traded? Yet you hear nothing from blacks in the USA when many of them convert to the slave religion of islam?

I am Not racist and I can certainly see why many things had to be changed AND I know that there is plenty of racism still out there,but Im beginning to wonder if this "partiality" is NOW creating more problems than it has fixed..

I am a male teacher, and whenever I look at her I am distracted and my seriousness as a teacher is affected too. I don't know why she wears that type of dress.

This question was asked of me by Casey, 8. A very good question for an eight year old to ask, I thought. If we "older" people were to accept Casey's question as a fact rather than a question, how might it affect us?

I have noticed that now and again some people give such nasty answers. Why, is it really necessary.
For instance i wrote about how i got all dressed up and then just couldn't go shopping , i was scared. Why did a certain person call me mad. I hope you just had a mad moment and did not mean it. I am not mad, thank you very much.
Now the same with the British question. No need to be so rude ok, i don't sit in front of my computer all day, as a matter of fact my hubby is coming home to a huge roast Pork dinner tonight or tea whatever you prefer to call it.
If you cannot think of anything nice or kind to say , dont say anything at all. Got it.

What support doth thou have from thy original Hebrew and Greek texts to suggestest that thy King James doth proveth best?

What about more modern translations that pull from a greater collection of early Hebrew and Greek manuscripts?

I am working with a devout Christian that questions the compatibility of spirituality with religion. We have reached a point that she would like me to explain the reasoning behind "unleavened bread" in communion. Unfortunately I have no answer and have not found a reasonable response for her. Does anyone have any ideas to this question?

I am an African American female and this question has been on my mind for a while. Why is it that so many people think that blacks can only be the "n" word. The word means ignorant, and to my knowledge, anybody can be ignorant. So many kids in my school say "I can't be a ****@ because I'm not black." I think that's ridiculous. What do you think?

It's seems they have so much that they aren't hungry for more.
Oh yeah, their attention span is like zero.

Everybody believe that his/her religion is the right one and if someone say that there are more than 500 religions no one can prove it wrong. Everyone also know that there is only one true religion than why people say that their religion is the right one, make no sense.( I am not good in english so its seems a bit difficult to me to give this question exect shape that i have in my mind.)

Ok so Im a black male. I guess you could define me as urban or ghetto educated. My friends and I were having a conversation the other day and they said they don't like when caucasion people act "black" I told them I don't believe that you can act "black". I think the way you act depends on your surroundings. I would define it as hip hop or urban. What do you guys think?

....you believe the underlying reasons for this are?

After all, straights are quite familiar with the broad spectrum of individual differences that exist in the straight segment of our society. Why would they fail to recognize the same in the gay segment?

Note; I don't believe in heaven & hell but this is kind of funny if not my typical stuff...
Willys cynical thought for the fugging day;

All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my freaking hand!

FORREST GUMP GOES TO HEAVEN

The day finally arrived. Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is at the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. However, the gates are closed, and Forrest approaches the gatekeeper.

St. Peter said, "Well, Forrest, it is certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot about you. I must tell you, though, that the place is filling up fast, and we have been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you can get into Heaven."

Forrest responds, "It sure is good to be here, St. Peter, sir. But nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. I sure hope that the test ain't too hard. Life was a big enough test as it was."

St. Peter continued, "Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only three questions.

First: What two days of the week begin with the letter T?
Second: How many seconds are there in a year?
Third: What is God's first name?"

Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the next day and sees St. Peter, who waves him up, and says, "Now that you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers."

Forrest replied, "Well, the first one -- which two days in the week begins with the letter "T"? Shucks, that one is easy. That would be Today and Tomorrow."

The Saint's eyes opened wide and he exclaimed, "Forrest, that is not what I was thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I did not specify, so I will give you credit for that answer. How about the next one?" asked St. Peter.

"How many seconds in a year? Now that one is harder," replied Forrest, but I thunk and thunk about that, and I guess the only answer can be twelve."

Astounded, St. Peter said, "Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?"

Forrest replied, "Shucks, there's got to be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd... "

"Hold it," interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you are going with this, and I see your point, though that was not quite what I had in mind....but I will have to give you credit for that one, too. Let us go on with the third

and final question. Can you tell me God's first name"?

"Sure," Forrest replied, "it's Andy."

"Andy?" exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St Peter.

"Ok, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the name Andy as the first name of God?"

"Shucks, that was the easiest one of all," Forrest replied. "I learnt it from the song, "ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN."

St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates, and said: "Run Forrest, run."

I just don't understand that. A guy was just here and he was saying that his mother is 88 yrs old. He said SHE'S lucky to still be alive. How is that lucky? She can hardly see, bearly hear, gets along rather slowly and painfully at that. Why do people say it's luck to be alive when the living conditions are poor at best?
What's so great about being here? My alternative is heaven. Once I am gone I'll be in heaven. It doesn't get any better than that. Help me to understand what makes some people so darn glad to be here. Everywhere I look, I see pain and misery, suffering and hardship, struggles and turmoil. My husband says "I'm thankful God allowed me to live another day". Why? So you can work from sun up to sun down to pay bills. So you can feel the arthritis in your knees and back some more. So you can deal with more rude people. So you can be tired and out of breath easily. It's a steady routine of the same thing day in and day out. Work, work, work. Behind with the bills. Body pains
