I was recently reading a study done in a magazine that said WHite males and Asian females the largest interracial pair but also the must successful. The magazine took in to acount divorce rates, longevity, and surveys. Why do you think white men and Asian women make such a successful couple? Generally speaking do they naturally work better then other couples?

And be willing to hold OURSELVES in judgement for what we chose to do?

And try to be considerate to others feelings.?

And try to battle with and deal with our seal-afflicted afflictions?

And to try and be truth in ones-self?

And be thankful and grateful and respectful for the Miracle gift of life, GIVEN to us?

They have all sorts of passages from the FIRST TESTAMENT. The first testament is there for reference not to be taking seriously. The First Testament books are Jewish not Christian. The First testament is just a bunch of jewish mumbo jumbo anyhow.

Most black ppl have no historical knowledge of any slave trade.

Britains involvement in the slave trade was minimal compared with that of the their fellow africans rounding them up for sale.

Britain was the major instrument in the abolition of the slave trade globally.

There hasnt been a recognised slave trade for 200 years.No one can feel "oppressed" by it anymore.

I think maybe its something blacks like to use as a weapon of guilt and sympathy seeking against whites,possibly to justify a failure to progress.

Yes, I wouldnt have wanted to be a slave.But many whites have died in conflicts seeking freedom for all.Including blacks.Whites dont throw that in the faces of blacks who now enjoy the freedom whites died for.

"Genesis is deeply symbolic, and cannot be grasped by a literal interpretation,". "Its 'tree of life' is the human body. The spinal cord is like an upturned tree, with man's hair as its roots, and afferent and efferent nerves as branches. The tree of the nervous system bears many enjoyable fruits, or sensations of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. In these, man may rightfully indulge; but he was forbidden the experience of sex, the 'apple' at the center of the bodily garden.

"The 'serpent' represents the coiled-up spinal energy which stimulates the sex nerves. 'Adam' is reason, and 'Eve' is feeling. When the emotion or Eve-consciousness in any human being is overpowered by the sex impulse, his reason or Adam also succumbs.

"Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" 18"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone. 19You know the commandments: 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.

My last question spurred another question

Are you being approached by Christians and other religious groups a lot or is it 'that one time' that really set you off. I understand that a lot of you feel the bible is illogical. If you are being approached by a lot of religious people do you feel you are attracting them in some way towards you? Also, could you explain what you believe in (if you believe in anything)?

The reason I'm asking is because I somehow ended up in an acedemic debate/ roundtable (trust me, I DIDN'T ask for this) and I really don't understand the thought process of atheists. I have been very spiritual for as long as I have been able to create an intelligent thought and sentence and have been a devout Christian for many years now. Before I respond and present myself I want to understand the atheist individual. I have read literature but, to me, that only gives a general classification.

Again, let's try to keep it an intelligent discussion by not bashing.

There are many questions asked on here that are pretty simple "yes" or "no" answers -- i.e. is it OK to feed my child spicy food, do 30-year shingles really last 30 years, etc.

Then there are questions that require a detailed correct or incorrect answer with description -- i.e. how do I get bloodstains out of a wedding dress, why does my cat have hair balls, etc.

But there are many questions where there is no "right" answer per se, usually questions around religion, society/culture, etc.

If and when you ask these questions, do you:

a) reward the person who provided an answer that you agree with as "best answer"

or

b) reward the person who argued their point best, although you might not agree with their answer, as "best answer"

As well -- why do you ask these questions? Is it to promote discussion? Observe the opinions of others? Just make your own opinion known via a question (i.e. loaded questions)

Okay, for people who ask for translations or language questions, does the "thumbs down" make you less likely to choose that answer as the best?

I was just thinking that the "thumbs down" can be more important in this section, because a translation is either right or wrong, so thumbs down could help someone to think that someone mistranslated. However, I have also noticed that many correct answers get thumbs down (from spiteful people?), so it can send a mixed signal.

What do you think? Is it helpful specifically in the Language section?

In Genesis 1:6-7 we learn that God made water, then he made land. What effect did the flood have on the salt level in this water?

If God made the oceans salty to begin with it seems like all that pure fresh rain would have diluted them. If God made the ocean as freshwater, then how did it get salty? We all know that decaying bodies would not produce all that salt.

Perhaps the rain that caused the flood was saltwater.
