I know some black people who are against having relationships with white people, italians who are against having relationships with non-italians, and anglosaxons against having a relationship with any foreign people. What is the reason for this? Also are you against mixed relationships?

I'm not looking for a controversy, I just want to know where the closest message to Jesus' orginial intentions is to be found. It's clearly not in Catholicism. I mean the original ideals. In my understanding, Christ did not beleive in giant cathedrals and ecclesiastical nonsense and complex corrupt church "government". It seems like most of "Christianity" has gotten away from his original ideals. So where is the simplest, purest message to be found? The unfiltered Jesus with the love and tolerance, minus all the doctrine and dogma and intolerance. Gnostics? Greek Orthodox? Tell me where to look.

I met a girl who does white magic, tarot cards etc. I know all of that to be satanic and stay away from it. I also know I'm protected by God and his angels, I have an army protecting me. This girl likes me, said she did tarot on me and was told to help me (release me from the binds of christianity, etc), also said she mapped me out or whatever its called and also putting beneficial spells on me. I'm wondering whats gonna happen to her, nothing she does can touch me. Anybody have experience on both sides?

is there some kind of spaghetti monster church that was formed just like the way satanism was? satanism is a religion that was formed ONLY because of the existence of christianity you know :) in other words, no chrisitanity, no satanism. so no God, no spaghetti flying monster? :o/.

Well I just moved to Georgia and I am trying to figure it out still. It seems so different from back home in California. Can someone tell me how it really is and what I should expect?

since one brave soul revealed that he avoids other gay men...I will admit that since my friend broke my heart I have been reluctant to start a friendship for fear of the same thing again. I know it isnt right, but I am hurting.

More than a year ago I noticed many young men holding their crotch as they walked or ran down the street.
I thought those guys must really have to go, and it doesn't look like they're going to make it.
It seemed like this new generation must all have kidney, or bladder problems.
But before long I realized that these guys were just trying to hold up their baggy pants.
How can they call it a "style" when they merely wear the wrong size clothes, or put their hat on backwards?
Have they lost all imagination?

We know Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness and what he said. God severely tested His son in at least 3 different significant ways. What are those 3 ways?

Serious question here. Have you ever seen something, ie... perhaps what one might call a ghost or had a feeling, good or bad that to this day you cannot exactly explain?

I myself have yet to experience anything as such but I do have an open mind to it.

Thanks

D.

I have gotten different responses of the sort. Many have given they're opinions about stereotypes but didn't answer the question, "Do you think this stereotype can be undone?" Many people criticize me of what I seem to say not what I say. I know it's a stereotype and yes, I do stereotype people and you guys do to. Just think about how you act in front of different age, race, looks, gender. I have also gotten responses where people say stereotypes are not necessarily true. I know that stereotypes are not always true which is why they are called stereotypes (assumptions over general things, in this case, race.). And for those of you people who say you are kinda "gangsta", I've got news. you aren't gangsta whenyou say "dogg" "homie" ditch a few classes, smoke some cigarettes, steal, don't get good grades when your asian or caucasian. But it's ok of not knowing this because I thought I was ghetto, too. Please answer my question assuming I have thought years about this (which I did).

Its been said there are two categories of suffering. Does the Bible explain what they are? One might be largely unnecessary because it is the result of problems we bring on ourselves.

My brother saw this dream that he was with my mom( Hayat-Alive)...and the angel of death was there and my mom asked my brother to recite LAHAB. my brother had never heard this word before so as soon as he woke up he started searching for LAHAB...and we found out Surah-e-Labah in the Quran.

What does Sura-e-Lahab have to do with angel of death...what is the tabeer of this dream.Can anyone interpret this for me? Only serious answers please.

They do not believe outside of what they have been taught and they are both willing to do ANTHING that their religon asks. Being fanatical is a personality trait and I belive that if those fanatical christians were born in afganistan they would be fanatical muslims and be first in life to suscide bomb. The same how I belive if a fanatical muslim was born in america he would be a fanatical christians and be standing on the street corners telling everyone they are going to hell. Anyone agree?

The reason I ask is that the liberals have been preaching about celebrating the diversity in our country for decades, but now they want to cover up diversity and enforce conformity by saying that we should all say "Happy Holidays". If we really want to celebrate diversity shouldn't we say Merry Christmas or Happy Hannakah or Happy Ramadan, Happy Kwanza, Happy Solstus, whichever fits us? I am not offended when I say Merry Christmas and my friend says Happy Hannakah or Happy Ramadan or something of the like back. Liberals, THIS is what REAL diversity is about. What I am offended by is when someone tells me what I should or shouldn't say according to standards they have imposed on me.
