If he were all powerful, couldn't he have done this a lot faster?

Also, why did he need to rest on the seventh day? If he were ominpotent, he could just make himself not tired, right?

I am really sick and tired of people saying something or someone is ghetto and they don't even know where a ghetto is, Where or why they originated, have never set foot in one, and assume because all black people live in the ghetto? That is the most ignorant racist shiit I hear and it is wrong!
Do people even know that ghettos were from Germany in WW2 and that's where Hitler stashed thed Jews until he was ready to kill and torture them?
Please stop talking about things or people being ghetto and youdon't know anything about it.
No I don't live int the projects
No I don't have 6 kids 6 different "baby daddy's"
No I am not on welfare
Yes I have an education
Yes I work
Yes I want to have a good life
and screw all the haters .
What if people said things and people were "Trailer Park" instead of ghetto?
Wouldn't white people get offended?
What if we thought you were are toothless, poor,lazy, gun toting, hillbillies?

I've been invited to a fancy dress party in a couple of weeks, where I need to dress up as something/someone beginning with the first letter of my name, which is J.

Anyone have any ideas? It has to be relatively easy as I don't have much time to make a costume. Thanks!!!

It is always found out AFTER the fact if we think that something big that happened was predicted by Nostradamus. It is never mentioned before this something happens. If that is the case, how come Nostradamus' followers couldn't let us know about the so cal "9/11 Prediction?" Personally, I believe you can make up anything from his writings. If he talks about a ruthless king taking over, this can mean a new presidency, somebody getting a new job at an office building, anything! So what do you guys say?

Why do so many people use the generic term for a diety, 'god', capitalize it and impart a persona to it?

By labeling and naming your center of worship, do you not limit its worth? By naming your center of worship a generic term degrade your image of sanctity?

I think that the people who tend to say 'God' are being a bit lazy and lacking in poetic and creative adoration of their focus of worship.

I don't want to offend any Mormons or people that know Mormons. Seriously, I don't have anything against Mormons and I consider them Christian but why did the Book of Mormon have racist slurs? I appreciate if a Mormon could explain it to me.


"As a result of his rebellion, Cain was cursed and told that "the earth" would not thereafter yield him its abundance as previously. In addition he became the first mortal to be cursed as a son of perdition...The Lord placed on Cain a mark of a dark skin, and he became the ancestor of the black race. (Moses 5; Gen. 4; Teachings, p. 169)." Mormon Doctrine by Bruce McConkie, page 109.
"Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so." Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 10, page 110.

Is that a good thing? I read books that proclaim that America is a modern Sodom and Gomorrah. But then you look at Europe and you see secularism in action.

I am not gay myself, but I am a gay rights supporter as well as a Christian. I have become disenchanted with the Southern Baptist denomination because of their homophobia.
