for himself. Why create a creature of dirt with a test. God all knowing knew that his own creature (Us) would fail his test. He is all knowing. He wasn't lonely, he had the Angels and could have made a wife for himself (if he was a man). He the so called creator had a different plan. He was bored and wanted to have fun. Creating a world with uncertainties, a place where his creatures can experience, love, hope, faith, fun, happiness, loss, joy, pain, all the emotions that he experiences. Is it cruel to test us to give some people total happiness, how may people do you know that are truely happy? How many people do you know live in misery? God is playing a game of the Sims, are you a bad Sim or a Good Sim? Do you really have a choice or is your destiny predetermined. God so you call him, so you worship him. You are nothing more to him than a quick fix on bordom. A childish God that has a sick sense of humor and no sense of care or compasion for allowing this sickness.

I grew up in Orange County where there was scarcely any blacks. Now I live in a black populated area and I feel like I stand out. people call me whitewashed. I don't feel comfortable around a lot of blacks. But I feel comfortable around Latinos and the weirdest thing is I feel like I stand out when I'm hanging out with the blacks but I don't feel that way when I'm with Hispanics. I feel weird also because I don't really like black guys so I force myself. Not that i don't like black guys but they are not my main preference. I don't even like having a preference because I feel like I'm segregating people. How can I feel more black? I feel more comfortable hanging around white guys and hispanic guys then I do with black guys. I'm actually kind of afraid of black guys. I don't want to be confused. I want to be normal. What should i do?

Darwin's statement

"Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely-graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and serious objection which can be urged against the theory. (The Origin of Species)" In his book where he was talking about evolution. Okay now let's jump to about 140 years after that book was written to the year 1999 when Prof Steve Jones of University College London published an updated version of Darwin’s Origin of Species. The fossil record still posed the same problem. Here is his quote "The fossil record - in defiance of Darwin's whole idea of gradual change - often makes great leaps from one form to the next. Far from the display of intermediates to be expected from slow advance through natural selection many species appear without warning, persist in fixed form and disappear, leaving no descendants. Geology assuredly does not reveal any finely graduated organic chain, and this is the most obvious and gravest objection."

I told him that dividing and judging people by race/ethnicity/other irrational factors shouldn't happen because we're all just smart mammals trying to make sense of the world. But he insists.

What could I do to help change his opinion?

I realize that if you truly believe in your religion you should study others to defend yours, but people have just taken it too far nowadays.

People of faith often claim that the crimes of Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot were the inevitable product of unbelief. The problem with fascism and communism, however, is not that they are too critical of religion; the problem is that they are too much like religions. Such regimes are dogmatic to the core and generally give rise to personality cults that are indistinguishable from cults of religious hero worship. Auschwitz, the gulag and the killing fields were not examples of what happens when human beings reject religious dogma; they are examples of political, racial and nationalistic dogma run amok. There is no society in human history that ever suffered because its people became too reasonable.

I have friends who are not christians and they always tell me I am being extremist by not joining them in night clubs or bars. They say it is not wrong to go to these places but what you do there might be what is wrong. Like you can just go there sit and have pop and just watch what goes on, arguing that it makes you wiser to see and know what happens. I do not believe this and I always refuse.

Why does the question of race still exist today. Why hasn't the human race reallized that focusing on race is a waste of time and doesn't help anyone. I pose this question to black white and everyone in between the COLOR spectrum of the HUMAN RACE.

Is it wrong for believers to help unbelievers? Please don't give your opinion. I am looking for Scripture references here. If you have a reference, please give it. Thanks!

I did just that. I thought I would do the right thing and give a homeless lady $10. I reached out to give it to her, feeling really good about what I was doing, and she went off on me. She started yelling "Get away from me! Get away from me! Are you crazy? Are you crazy? Don't touch me!" Needless to say, it freaked me out. I have never gotten a reaction like that when trying to help someone. Too weird.
