I happened to be at the mall today, peacefully eating my Mickey D's... when Low and behold an African American woman started ranting and raving and making several racial slurs regarding Latinos/Latinas and other ethnic groups. She didn’t care that many of the people around her were in fact Latinos... She was acting in an ignorant manner. I've noticed that many African Americans believe they have the "right" to belittle other ethnic groups... and just be downright disrespectful. Has anyone else encountered this type of ignorant behavior?

Would you lay with me in a field of stone
If my needs were strong would you lay with me?
Should my lips grow dry would you wet them dear
In the midnight hour if my lips were dry?
Would you go away to another land
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand?
Wipe the blood away from my dieing hand
If i gave my self to you?
Would you bathe me with me in the stream of life
When the moon is full would you bathe with me?
Will you still love me when i'm down and out
In my time of trials will you stand by me?

These lyrics were stolen from an old song...
Im interested in your answers to these questions....

I just dont get it...why do I have to pick a side in the scientific debate and the God debate. Why cant the two co-exist. Fact is, I may be the minority but both the religious right and the scientific left are really both wrong. I believe in evolution and I believe in God. I believe both compliment eachother and both co-exist. The bible was meant to be a teaching tool and nothing more. So dont try to use that cop out like I believe the bible should be taken completely literally...that is wrong. Its not a history, geology, or an astronomy book. Its a book to teach you how to live, nothing more nothing less...so take your bias and throw it away.

To believe we evolved from nothing is ludicrous, just like to believe in any infinite values existing in this reality, because fact is they dont exist. Dont try to limit your view of God by interpretting that it somehow relates to this universe because that is also a mute point. Can u atleast somewhat agree with me on this?

I am sick and tired of ads for charitees. There should be some way to disable them after you have donated. Not all of us can afford to continue to donate everytime one comes up. Sure, we do it for a few, but then they should stop. Any one with me?

Many of the months of the year are named after Roman Gods ie March = the roman god of war Mars January is the month of the two faced god Janus June is for the Goddess Juno. July named for the deified Julius Ceaser August for Augustus etc.
Should the twelve months of the year be named after the twelve disciples instead?
Say today could be the 28 of Judas or say your birthday could be the 11 of Doubting Thomas. How cool would that be??
Lobby your government and it could happen, get those Pagans off our calenders now!!!

Ok so I like this girl but she is pretty shy and Iam quite bold and aggresive when it comes to making the moves normally. I have been dying to kiss her for quite awhile.

Well, Today I finally did kiss her, but I decided to only make it a peck insted of full on making out or anything. I thought it'd maybe be the best thing since she gets so nervous an it was also kinda a goodbye kiss.

What do you think? Did I make the right decision by only making it a peck on the lips???

For the holidays I like to give knitted slippers to loved ones. It was my Grandmother's holiday tradition and it's become mine to. But this year I want to give something else with the slippers(like a new spin on a old tradition). Now I still want to do something homemade, any ideas?

I keep hearing about how it's easy to take verses out of context. What I don't understand, is what context these verses are supposed to be in. For example, Psalm 137:9 reads, "Happy shall he be, who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock."

Now, I know I'm taking it out of context. Now it's the last verse in that chapter, and the ones before it read, "Remember, Yahweh, against the children of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, 'Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!' Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be happy who rewards you, as you have served us."

Do we only bash little ones upon the rock if we're razing a city? Can someone explain the context to me please?

My personal perspective of God has always been monotheistic and male, so I'm not looking for anyone to defend the traditional Christian/biblical self-disclosure of God in male terminology. I'm interested in composing a list (based on personal testimonies of people who conceive of God as female) of why you hold to this view. Thanks.

In the Latter Day Saint's religion, they believe that a celestial marriage is for eternity.

How do you explain Jesus saying in Matthew 22:22-33 that marriage is not in heaven? See Matthew 22:30: 30For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

How is it then, that marriage can be for eternity if Jesus himself said this cannot happen.

Did ancient Egyptians worship their kings?

Dear all,
I want a historical answer supported with strong references.
(Note: religion books are not references)

I am asking about (Ptah, Re, Osiris.. ect), were they kings?
Or maybe kings were considered priests for the gods.?

Thanks.

I just can't get in to it anymore. I don't have the money plus I have three cats who would have the decorations torn down in no time. Don't get me wrong, in my heart I know the true meaning of Christmas but can't deal with the commercialization of the holiday. I get the bah humbugs and can't wait til it's over. If I had kids it would probably be different. My husband and I have so many bills that I would feel guilty spending our hard earned money on gifts when we have all these other expenses to take care of. I send cards out for my husband's sake but I don't even really enjoy doing that. I never go to company Christmas parties and I stay away from the malls from the day after Thanksgiving until a few days after New Years. I hate the crowds and the cards I send are made on my computer. I mean, we have a family dinner (me, my husband, mom, sister and her kids) but that's it. We spend that time together which is a good thing but like I said, no gifts for anyone and no decorating.
