Do you consider youreself to be racist towards another race and if so which race and whats youre rational . Most people just somple say for eg:" Oh I dont like blacks because there skin is dark ". Or " I dont like Asians Because they stink of curry " Surely as such a smart society there must be more to it that just that .

Why do most poor people hold up those signs asking for money for their next meal, but when they get it, they spend it on booze? Honestly, as good as booze is, if I were poor, I would be much more concerned about where my next meal was coming from... I just feel bad for them and am somehow shocked that they would squander that money they took so long to accumulate to buy alcohol. I wish they realized that alcohol doesn't really take the pain away... and certainly doesn't help their situation. Does anyone know anybody poor who they talk to, anything like that? Did they drink a lot? Why? I really am curious for the answer to that question.

Some don't even think there will be a rapture, but Lets say there is, will those left behind still be able to get saved? I hear a lot of people say, "If I see Christians disappear, then I will get saved". But I have been shown in the Bible where they will not be able to get saved.

You will have to read 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2 to be able to understand this train of thought.

In verse 7 He who now letteth is the Holy Spirit.

Verse 9 is talking about the Antichrist or False Prophet.

See in verse 7 where it says," until he be taken out of the way". When the rapture happens the Holy Spirit will not be here to stand in the way of the Antichrist.

In verse 11 God will send them ( All those left behind ) strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.

Why? Because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. verse 10

Verse 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

What do you think?

Could it be that having mercy, that repenting from eternal damnation worship, that loving your enemy, that realizing that everyone is doing their best no matter what and that if you have a better way, sharing that is important and that we all have the potential to help each other or to just criticize like Jesus did sometimes, although he didn't always do that when he was alive?

Homophobia is still widespread in society. Some statistical data suggest that homophobes (people who hate gays) are psychologically sick. For example, when a homophobic muderer kills a gay person, the muder is usually committed in the most cruel and ruthless and barbarian way. The killer, for instance, usually stabs a gay person dozens of times instead of just one time. This shows that a homophobic criminal is somehow psychologically obsessed by the issue of homosexuaity. A nornmal person would not feel so passionately about who a total stranger sleeps with.

On the other hand, there are reasons to think that homophobes are not sick but simply immoral. Their hatred is based on immora impulses, although homophobes frequently justify their hatred with passages from the Bible, taken out of context.

So, which is it? Are they sick or just immoral?

How prevalent is the caste system in modern India? Is it on the same level of racial sterotyping and bigotry in the United States from say, the 1950's or 60's?

As we become more of a global economy and many jobs are outsourced to India I've wondered what impact (if any) the caste system has on doing work with Indian firms. Are there examples of US companies that have refused to do work with an Indian company that honors the caste system or is the problem just not that prevalent?

I recall the outrage in the 1980's about apartheid in South Africa. There was even a song, "Sun City," about musical artists that refused to perform there while apartheid existed.

I've heard nothing about any similar outrage about the caste system in India and so thought that perhaps it is only a dark part of India's past. Personal knowledge or anecdotes are preferred over information I could find on my own :-)

It could be something a friend or aquaintance said, something from TV, a bad idea for a product, maybe even a question you've seen on this site... pretty much anything. (The only exception is quoting this question as your answer.)

IS it me or does X-mas seem to be less of a family and relegoius day and more of a "lets see if we can get our selves into a debt and out do the Jones" Since when did we bow down to our children and spend exorbant amount of money on gifts and presents. What happen to the days of just being happy that you and your families were safe and good health. When a simple gift made you smile and children really believed that naughtiness got you a lump of coal. I just feel life has gotten so out of whack and the last if the true holidays has finally left. You can expect next year to have stores open for X--mas days slaes.
