As I work with many black men, their conversations almost always include using "mother-f**er". Whether it is sports, politics, the job in general, it's always the mother-f**er this, the mother-f**er that, this mother-f**ing thing, etc.

Someone answered a question with this statement, and I was wondering how valid a point it is...
Thanks!

What type of advices you will be seeking for if you get a free personal adviser all day? Your interface to this adviser could be multiple,,, including speech and writing... You can program this adviser:
For example, you can say
wake me at 7AM or
tell me, how I should dress today
tell me, what should I read keep fresh,
how I can enjoy my vacation the most

If you had a child that was messing up their lives, drugs or whatever. And they turned to God and started staightening out their lives. Of corse you would be happy because you love them. But what else would you feel? disapointed that it took God or just grateful?

Creationists promoting ID as an an alternative and 'competing' story of life in earth, are attacking the education systems in the UK, the US and elsewhere in the world. They are trying to put evolution and other valid sciences into obscurity with this theology. Is this not evidence of the inherent oppresive nature of religion?

Someone asked me the other day about a fourth wiseman that was in the bible, who didn't make it to see Jesus on this birth night, and who didn't see Jesus himself until he was dragging his cross the day of his death. Has anyone read this in the Bible? Has anyone even heard of this?

My mailman is a nice guy. He did me a favor too, my mum forgot to put my apartment number on my christmas packages and he took down my name and apartment number and said he will deliver these too me.
How much should I put in a Christmas card for him to say thanks without being stingy and without being patronising?

Or, is it nice to bake some nice christmas cookies and give as a gift?

Why do believers post questions and answers here? Isn't being "right" good enough for them? It must be a faith thing, or a Jesus thing, or a Bible thing.

The kippah you use says much about you...
"In Israel wearing a kippah also has a social significance. While wearing a kippah shows that you are somewhat religious, not­wearing one is like stating, "I'm not religious." The style of kippah in Israel can also indicate political and religious affiliations. Classical orthodoxy uses a large, smooth, black one shaped like a bowl. Many Hasidim use large black felt or satin, and a "rebellious son" may wear a slightly smaller black kippah to show his independence while remaining in the Classicist camp. Another play on this rebellion is to wear a knitted black kippah. This is also usually used to confuse people as to where you stand".

So.. if you wanna use a "neutral" kippah, wich kind of kippah would you use???

you can only give one thumbs down, but some deserve many. We're just asking questions here, some people seem to feel that they have to berate you and make you feel as awful as they can possibly make you feel, just because they didnt like your question. Are some people really that angry and terrible?

I don't believe in Sasquatch or Vampires, and I don't run around trying to convice those who believe otherwise they are not real - that would be silly. If someone comes to me talking about Sasquatch, I would just blow them off.

Why the hostility and confrontational attitude? Just chill out and use your energy for something you believe in.

If it really hits home in a meaningful way, it seems, people are less likely to give an answer, but they still take time to tell you it's not a good question...wierd.

the word HADE registers on my mind, and that time i dont have an idea that there is a character in mythology named HADES...
HADES is the ruler of the underworld, right? or simply hell...
I really like that name, im just an ordinary good man but i want to posses the character of HADES, just give me some insight about this...

Obviously they could not have been changed after Mohammed since there are around 5,300 manuscripts of the whole or part of the Greek text of the New Testament pre-dating Mohammed still in existence, including the Codex Vaticanus (325-350 AD) located in the Vatican library and the Codex Siniaticus (350 AD) located in the British Museum.
The Dead Sea Scrolls dated around 125 BC have bought to light manuscripts of the Old Testament books including the complete text of Isaiah. The Septuagint translation of the Hebrew text into Greek in around 165 BC also confirms the fact that there has been no change to the text of the Old Testament since that time.
there is nothing in the Koran saying this but there are verses saying the opposite, speaking highly of the Bible and advising Muslims to learn from Jews and Christians:
After presents a problem:
‘there is nothing in the Koran saying this but there are verses saying the opposite, speaking highly of the Bible and advising Muslims to learn from Jews and Christians:

‘And if thou (Mohammed) art in doubt concerning that which we reveal unto thee, then question those who read the scripture that was before thee’ (i.e. the Bible). Sura (chapter) 10.95. ‘O ye people of the book! Ye are not grounded on anything until ye observe the Taurat (Torah) and the Injil (Gospel) and that which has been revealed unto you from your Lord.’ Sura 5.68.
