I'm not looking for slang, or racial slurs here. I want to hear from people who are from Mexico, Central and South America, and the Carribbean, or people who have descended from them. I would like to know if there is one all inclusive nonoffensive term one can use when trying, in a conversation, to distinguish between you and people who are European-American. I know the term Spanish speaking (Hispano hablando) refers to most of these areas, but not to Portugese speaking Brazil. I was speaking with a new acquaintance recently from Cuba. When I refered to him as Hispanic he seemed offended. Please educate me about the usage of the terms: Hispanic, Latino, Azteca, etc.
Todos somos hermanos. Ayudenme porfavor.

I remember coming across an interview done by Larry King on CNN with a highly acclaimed priest (coulnd't recall his name), Larry posed a valid question , " assuming there are two men, Mr. A and Mr. B, Mr. A, an atheists, througout his entire life, has done nothing but good deeds. Mr. B, who has done enough of evil acts his entire life, but he has faith in Jesus. The question now is, who gets to see father Lords in his afterlife?"

The answer by the latter is "MR. B no doubt about it". Mr. Larry then shoke hand with him and thanked him for coming. That particular scene has left more questions than answers, hasn't it? What's your view?

God wants your heart, spirit, and soul to work, seek and sincerely trusting in him. Perhaps it's more spiritual faith.

Why would God give someone with no faith proof?
The ones who ask for proof are the ones with no faith.

Why do I hear that short girls want a guy who's tall so their kids would be tall?

Though genetics, height is PASSED DOWN THROUGH THE MOTHERS SIDE. My dad is 5'10" and my mom is 5'1". I'm a 5'5" 23 yr old male Stanford psychology student. I have remained a virgin, never had a girlfriend, and had to suffer my mothers repugnant genetic sins and live life as a 5'5" cripple.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/human_heigh...

The second paragraph of "Determinants of growth and height" says:

"Genetically speaking, the heights of mother and son and of father and daughter correlate, suggesting that a short mother will more likely bear a shorter son, and tall fathers will have tall daughters."

I know some of you will say "not true!," but cases where a mother is short and her sons are tall are only if that mothers father is tall. If you're a short women with short parents your son WILL be short.

I encourage tall men NOT TO reproduce with short women to avoid atrocities like myself.

Well what do you do with an old damaged Bible? Is it like desicrating the "Good Book" if you throw it in the trash? Well while I'm at it what do other religions do with thier sacred books?

The solution was brought to this world in the birth of Christ...that is his message, "The Light of the world" provides a model to understand the negative side to truth...and there is one, and I believe remnants of the original sin.

An athiest mocking a Christian I can understand....

But isn't mocking those who christians would technically consider less fortunate (ie burn in hell for eternity) rather hypocritical?

Or is it that they are just not "true Christians" that mock those they supposedly believe will burn in hell for eternity? I believe in Jesus myself but I absolutely hate when other Christians ridicule and mock athiests, telling them to "burn in hell" or "do you not believe in god cause you were molested as a kid? (yahoo answer favorite)"....... You get the point.

Just seems like all Christians of all sorts should be more sympathetic...."Love they Neighbor as Thy Self."

Thanks.

John 17: 14-19: "I have given your word to them, but the world has hated them, because they are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world.

15 “I request you, not to take them out of the world, but to watch over them because of the wicked one. 16 They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world. 17 Sanctify them by means of the truth; your word is truth. 18 Just as you sent me forth into the world, I also sent them forth into the world. 19 And I am sanctifying myself in their behalf, that they also may be sanctified by means of truth."

From that Scripture, what does being no part of the world mean to you? ...and do you believe that we can live in this world without really being a part of this world?

The Jewish religion believes that no one can die for anothers sins. First, in Exodus 32:30-35, Moses asks God to punish him for the sin of the Golden Calf, committed by the people. God tells Moses that the person who committed the sin is the person who must receive the punishment. Then, in Deuteronomy 24:16, God simply states this as a basic principle, "Every man shall be put to death for his own sins." This concept is repeated in the Prophets, in Ezekiel 18 "The soul that sinneth, it shall die... the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him." So how did Jesus die for our sins if the bible says no one can?

Also, the Jewish religion also believes that the messiah would not be god, but a human, and restore Israel, and be a great political leader.

I am so confused. How did these prophecies get so twisted around? Can someone pleaaaaase explain this to me?!
