And have you ever wondered why Empires like Rome as well as others have fallen right after they accepted Homosexuality and tried to remove God from their government? Its seems to me that history has proven that this type of decision has had adverse effects. USA= Sodom & Gamorra #2

i'm a really peaceful stoner. i'm a pacifist and i would never get into a fight with anyone.

i used to think that all stoners are like this to a degree - we're all peaceful people.

but recently, i've begun to wonder. i've seen some marijuana users who are pretty crappy and arrogant people when they're stoned, and get into fights, if not physical, than psychological and verbal.

are stoners becoming more violent? what can be done?

It seems the south used the bible as an augument for support of slavery which caused the civil war if so is god responsible for all the deaths from this war.

All Black History Month does is remind people of the bad time of slavery... Shouldent we just try to forget about what happend and try to move on?

- There is NO white person that lives today that was a Slave Master.

- There is NO black person that lives today that was a slave.

- When we Get into Black History Month, It reminds black people of what happend and could sometimes get them more racist towards white people.

- When we get into Black History Month White People start to bitc-h that they dont have their own month.

Does anyone aggree? shouldent we just move on?

(and im not one of those white people who bitc-h about how bad black people treat white people I'm mexican)

Shouldnt you as a person know your own faith... Is this just another way of fitting in with the croud you do it because you see someone else doing it. I know thats why I used things to represent my faith when I was less educated about spirituality then I am now. Hell I didnt even know what the word ment back in the day... Now I understand that wearing something to prove my faith is like saying ill buy my way into heaven...

I always happen to catch 9 or 1 in the clock for example 9:11, 11:11 or 1:11 and i just found out that every major event in my life in which i can recall the date, has a 9 or an 1 in it. For example, Grandma died 11-4-05 my first time sex 11-9-04, broke my wrist 1-11-05, 9-11-06 my first job, 11-11-06 i quit my first job, 6-9-06 did not graduate from high school, 7-9-04 i dunked my first basket ball. This is weird can someone tell me why 9 and 11 pop into important dates of my life?

I am not asking this question for the sake of disagreeing, ridiculing or mocking you guys. I just want to know what do you think about the origin of the universe, the human kind and all the living things.

Thanks

I ask this out of all seriousness. I just listened to a lecture by an ex-con (he swindled retirement funds from old people) who "found" Jesus while in prison. He basically stated that, while in prison, he accepted Jesus as his savior and repented for his sins therefore he is at peace with God and can go to heaven.

My question is is repentance really fair and is it real? After all, because of him, there's probably still some poor senior out there who is living out the last years of his life in poverty. Therefore, where's the justice in a person like him going to heaven just because he repented while a nonbeliever, who has not ruined an old person's life, go to hell?

If someone murdered you brother with a gun, would you go around wearing guns around your necks etc.? You beleive that Jesus was crucified, so consider the return of Jesus, would he want to be reminded of that horrible incident he experienced, I wouldn't want to see my friends wearing symbols of my torture etc. - I beleive that Jesus, was NOT crucified, or tortured.

BTW:
The Islamic beleif basically ends where Mel Gibsons movie begins, so, Mel just made a kewl movie about the punishment of the man that betrayed jesus.
GOD ALMIGHTY ONE protected His messenger!

Pretty much every person I know gives or receives these hugely expensive gifts...iPods, computers, televisions, Wiis, xbox, playstation, dvd sets...In my family, for birthdays and holidays etc, we get maybe 20 dollars or something around that price range. And I'm perfectly fine with that actually, I'm not jealous at all..I'm just wondering, how in the world does everyone afford all that?

I just had a huge debate with a friend over whether Islam is a religion of peace or war. I chose peace but my friend mentioned jihad and I didn't have anything to say to refute that. Please explain. Thanks.

Do they see Christians as weak minded and unintelligent? I know that it is wrong to hate anyone. I don't hate atheists and neither does God. I believe God loves everyone, but its up to the person whether or not they accept Christ and find salvation. I do not mind if atheists disagree with me. I just wish that they could respect me more as an individual. I think that religion and atheism has become way too political! And to say that if you vote for a certain party you are doing right in the eyes of God, is not exactly true! Especially sense governments at one time or another have persecuted Christians. Its happened before, it will happen again! When the government begins taking away our right to worship you will know exactly what I mean! Some blame all religion when there are only certain extremists who are the source of the problem. Why is it that everyone gets the blame? A Christian who bombs an abortion clinic is no different than Osama Bin Laden. I understand that! Don't blame all!

I want to attached my question with my opinion.It was feel good message for ignorant people who justified this act as revenge to the West or Jews but Muslims with knowledge condemned the act of Sept 11,many Scholars of Islam called this act as evil and should be separated from Islam as a religion of Peace. Law enforcements blamed and arrested Muslims suspects of M Eastern origin,some until today they have not received fair trial and probably there is no concrete eveidence apart from circumstantial.US and allies waged war on Terror and thousand of innocent people were killed.However with my long time research and analysation based on available information,recently I went back to the history of Islam and political sit in Arab World.Is anyone though this act could have been organised by any Arab state?Who knows may be Saudi Kingdom or Egypt Government organized Sep 11 attack so the West can deal hashly to Muslims for were seems to be problem and fear to Arabs regime.
