to preach THEIR personal opinion of God?
How come Catholics or any other religion
don't bug the heck out of people with knocking on
their doors to preach THEIR religious beliefs?

Recently I saw a question regarding atheism and Christianity with a very "militant" (to say the least) bias against Christianity, to which I replied with a fitting answer in favor of Christianity. The author of the question in turn called me "closed-minded" for my religious views. But here's the thing: I have really tried my very best to understand all aspects of the subject of religion. There have been times where I was very doubtful of Christianity, and there have been others where I've been very faithful, as well. But after it all, I find myself believing in the Bible. So how can I be closed-minded if I've tried to see all points of view and, at some times, found myself believing other points of view? Has this term, "closed-minded," lost its meaning? Is it really just a liberal scare tactic to get people like me to shut up? Or is this person right - am I closed-minded for believing in Christ? Tell me.

Leaving aside, for a moment, the Fantasyland Hotel in the West Edmonton Mall, what are the names of some good hotels within easy walking distance of the famous Alberta mall?

I think insulting one's mother is far worse than any racial epithet - after all, mothers sacrifice everything for their children. But Blacks don't seem to care about that.

You see, I'm WAAAY offended when I hear that term, but I have no way to stop Black people from saying it.

See the problem?

I'm going out with a 73-year young man who's been widowed and has 8 adult children, yet he lives in a 4 bedroom house just packed with his past mementos including things his wife used to wear, medicine she took, nic-nacs, and pictures that she left around before she died 5 years ago. I've tried to be patient, but he refuses to part with the things that he no longer need. He has cupboards full of dishes, a large dining room table which usually just he and I eat at, a whole room full of furniture he doesn't use, clothes galore, even food packed away in pantries. I'm at my wits end. Someone please explain his wacky behavior to me.

why would black people use a word so freely, yet deny its use to everyone else?

The only thing that makes any sense to me is that it's a small demonstration of power - it's a way for black people to be able to do something that whites cannot.

I've read elsewhere that the actual term the use ends in "a" or "ah", not "er," and therefore is not the same word - in fact, it's a term f endearment. Then I've read that since that "ah" word was "invented" by Blacks, only they can use it. I didn't realize that words were copyrighted like that.

Anyway, if you have any ideas as to why this double standard exists, please share them. And please spare me the "you must be ignorant" crap That's just a copout for answering the question squrarely.

Rhetorical question, I know! : ) Read it quick before it gets deleted!

To the tune of "We Gather Together"

We gather together
To ask lots of questions
We’ve posers and queries
We wish to make known
Like does our god hate us?
Will he incinerate us?
And which lucky kneelers
Will he call his own?

Just who is Ganesha?
And what did he teach ya’?
And was that guy Judas
A hero or chump?
And can you tell me, ma’am,
The pillars of Islam?
If Buddha took the middle way
Why was he so plump?

The trollish among us
Post drivel to bug us
Like “You’re All Reported!”
And “What Should I Do?”
But we do not hate them
We mostly tolerate them
(‘Cause if you report them
Then they’ll report you!)

We thank Yahoo Answers
For gathering together
The atheist, Christian,
The Muslim, the Jew
We’d never have met them,
We never will forget them
Though they raise our blood pressure
We learn from them too.

Then was Jesus still God while separated from His Father?

If yes, where there then two Gods? (God the Father and God the Son were no longer one God?)

If no, was this not a change in the nature of Jesus?
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." - Hebrews 13:8

Or did Jesus simply "feel" forsaken by virtue of His human nature?

Reference Psalm 22
