As another possible example, as you know the ritual of baptism was a carryover from the ancient Greek custom of suddenly immersing a wannabe disciple's head in water and then whispering "When you want to be my disciple as earnestly as you want air, then you shall be my desciple."
Do rituals and doctrines of Christianity generally come from Pagan and ancient tradition, and can we get more details on this fascinating stuff; or am I just trying to conjur up doubt and suspicion, and does God disapprove of my question?

and things being 'pimped out'. whats up with everything needing to be 'pimped out'? if these rappers had such a rough life, why don't they use all of that money they're making to help out the kids in the situation they were raised in? wouldn't that make sense? if my pops beat me growing up, if i struck it rich, i'd build a battered women and childrens shelter in my local neighborhood at the very least.

Why are so many people stressed out and rude at this time of the year wherever you go? There are a rare few nice ones though.

Wouldn't they be surprised when one day I woke out of my black ugly dream, and my real hair, which was long and blond, would take the place of the kinky mass Momma wouldn't let me straighten? My light-blue eyes would hypnotize them ...

On TV and in magazines, you seldom see a dark-skinned black person. Our culture is still being led to believe that having lighter skin somehow makes you a better person.

Black people with lighter skin get treated better; I believe this discrepancy stems from the days of slavery. In general, dark-skinned blacks labored in the fields while light-skinned blacks worked indoors. Slave owners and even slaves gave lighter-skinned blacks more respect. This segregation of shades within the same race is a serious problem.

Colorism has always been an issue for the black community. In the past, some black social clubs and societies only allowed those who had light skin.

Take a look at this quote from Steven Hawkings.

". . . it might seem that if we observe all other galaxies to be moving away from us, then we must be at the center of the universe. There is, however, an alternate explanation: the universe might look the same in every direction as seen from any other galaxy, too. This, as we have seen, was Friedmann's second assumption. We have no scientific evidence for, or against this assumption. We believe it only on grounds of modesty: it would be most remarkable if the universe looked the same in every direction around us, but not around other points in the universe . . . ." Steven Hawkings

Note: second assumption Friedmann's says the space is expanding with no center.

So if space is expanndgin, wouldn't the galaxies and solar systms expand also and break apart? What sould be left of the universe? If the universe expands at any point, then could to points collide?

1) the physical symptoms of love and fear are similar

2) an attractive person is often assumed to be competent

3) Its myth that people date and marry other who are roughly at the same level of attractive.

4) telling "all" increases the chance of a lasting relationship
