I'm dating a beautiful Vietnamese woman and I'd like to say some nice things to her in Vietnamese.

How do you say?

You have nice eyes.
I like your smile.
etc.

Not to make fun, or be cheeky. This is a real question. When you read something or see something or even experience something, do you see each thing through an open mind, or do you have the view that God is fake no matter what?
Please don't throw this back on me. I readily admit I see the world through a slanted lens.
I'm just curious about the nature of atheism. In other words, I guess I'm asking, are you compelled to believe this, or is it a conscious choice? I won't make fun of you either way, I promise. I just want to know.

I have been through a lot in the past couple of years, from 4 surgeries, two emergency hospitalizations, a major broken heart, the death of an old friend and unemployment. I try to keep my faith and accept that God knows where he's taking me, But how do I believe this when I feel like he's forgotten me?

Oh I can hear the moderate and right-wing Christians howling right now. Chill out a second.

Yea, Im serious, but heres why. You see, whether you like it or not, these Leftists who apologize for Islamists and "expose" the Abu Ghrabs and invent new pro-islamist arguments that Jihadists never thought of and eventually parrot back in their Jihadists propaganda...uhh...almost all of them are Christians.

Yea, Christians, and if you say "there not real Christians", youve totally totally missed the point nimrod.

You see, Im agnostic, I am not arguing what "true Christianty is", I am merely pointing out that the super soft weak left-wing that makes out hatefilled Islamist enemies salivate were all raised in a Christian background and still identify with Christianty.

Many of them actually claim to be "literalists" as well, they literally believe in "love your enemy". I wish Darwin were here to give his view of "love your enemy". Didnt the Romans perish after Christianity spread?

Christians:
If you were adopted as a baby by muslims, taken to Iran and still lived there today, do you think you would still be a christian?

Muslims:
If you were adopted as a baby by Christians, taken to the US and
still lived with them today do you think you would still be Muslim?

There are rare cases of people being raised in one religion and later converting to another, but don't you find it odd that GEOGRAPHY is the most important factor in determining a person's religion?

For example:
If Born & raised in U.S.............85% chance you are a christian.
If Born & raised in Iran.............98% chance you are a muslim.

The overwhelming majority of people follow the religion of either their parents or a dominant religion in their community.

What does this say to you about religion?

Do females look at male body as much as the male look at the female body? It certainly doesnt show among many womens, only on tv and stuff. Do women care about size of penis as much as men care about size of breast?

All science does is uncover the mysteries of the universe. It's self-correcting and is always evolving. Once something is proven true by careful observations by science, then it is true. For example, when people were so sure the Earth was the center of the universe. Then science stepped in a proved that we go around the sun.

Or Evolution, people just assume that humans are so special that we were created seperately. Then science steps in and shows us that all life, humans included, evolved through natural selection. Given enough time, matter evolves into consciousness. It's hard for some to see Evolution because humans only live a very short time. Evolution takes billions of years to work. Just look around at the beautiful diversity of the biological world to see it's work.

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful



He it is Who created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clot; then He brings you forth as a child; then He lets you grow, so that you attain your full strength; and afterward become old - though some among you are caused to die before - and that you may reach a term appointed and that you may learn wisdom.

Verily, We have warned you of a punishment which is near at hand - a day when man will see what his hands have sent on before and the disbeliever will say, 'Would that I were mere dust!'

And We did raise among every people a Messenger with the teaching, 'Worship God and shun the Evil one.' Then among them were some whom God guided and among them were some who became deserving of ruin. So travel through the earth and see what was the end of those who treated the prophets as liars!

And your Lord says, 'Pray unto ME; I will answer your prayer. But those who are too proud to worship ME will, surely, enter Hell, despised.


Holy Quran


Shall we then be raised up again?

IVRESSE


Je vous laisse la croix, la couronne et ses épines !
Ah vous mes cousines ! Ah vous mes cousines !

Allons ripailler nus au festin des citadelles !
Avec toi ma belle ! Avec toi ma belle !

Embrassons le vert des cimes impalpables.
Il est l’heure à table ! Il est l’heure à table !

Viens danser mes vertiges, le bruit des caravanes !
Mais sans ta peau d’âne ! Mais sans ta peau d’âne !

- Tu mourras seul et vieux, dans l’ivresse des vins !
- Ah vous mes cousines ! Mais l’or de vos venins ?

If you had to choose between 1 million dollars in loose change and 25,000 cash, which would you choose?
The loose change would be dumped by dumptruck and you would have to roll it up and deposit it by hand.

I am Bi and have come to terms with that but after I came out to my best friend (guy) he realized that there was nothing wrong with not being bi or gay. He began to wonder if he was attracted to me as more than a friend because he had always wanted to be more than just friends. One day he kissed me and I enjoyed it very much because I like him very much. He asked me to be his boyfriend and I agreed. I now realize that he is not comfortable with being bi because he does not want anyone else to find out that he is Bi. After a conversation we just had like 30 min. ago he told me that he feels so comfortable when he is with me and he enjoys being intimate with me and FEELS that our relationship is right but he THINKS that its wrong. He is also very afraid how everyone else will react to our relationship. Should I continue with our relationship? What can I do to help him realize that its not wrong to love another man? Should I back away and let him deal by himself like I had 2?

It seems as though it is as Americans themselves bash the United States and a lot of good-minded people criticize the United States. Just a few hours ago, I posted a question saying how much anti-Americanism sucks and I got a overall negative response, even from some Americans!

People will be like to me " Go back to your own country you f u c k i n g mexican" or even " go back wilth Osama Bin Laden and destroy America". I hear racist comments about me every day. Few people believes me about it. I am not a Mexican. I am from India. I see this hatred every day at school. Recently some asshole walked up to me and was like" where is your green card I want to see it" and got the whole class into it want to see a green card. I was born in America. People ask me if I am American and i will say "yes" and then they will say" No you aren't you don't look like one" What can I do? It is getting really bad. I live in a small Hell hole town which probably is why I am getting treated like this

I have a teacher who uses the "he" as a defualt, instead of saing "they" or "he or she" I have never met anyone who speaks this way. It makes me feel as if he is intintionaly discriminating me. Is he being sexist or is it just because he's old? He has been teaching since 1970. BTW, what is the name of that rule, I've heard it in two English classes but it's just one of those things I can't seem to remember.
