Racism is present in every country every day deep inside we might have a thought of racism against somebody who is different somehow from us...Do you think this situation is more present here than every other EU country and why?

Why not help each other, not be at war with each other?

It CAN start here and grow to other venues!

Perhaps covering all the earth was simply covering everything that they perceived around them, hence being the entire earth?

Does it have to be litterally the entire planet?

What's your take on this?

Please, no bashing or preaching. Just answer the question. ;-)

I'm not muslim or anything, but I like the idea of being able to wear like a cloak with a hood on it on a daily basis, and since muslim women wear hijabs and burkas, it shouldn't be out of question. The only problem is that people will probably assume I'm muslim and freak out just because I choose to cover up with a cloak.

My picks: First, Texas. Second, Mississippi.

Texas: some of the friendliest people anywhere; huge, thriving cities (D/FW, Austin, San Antonio, Houston,) great job market, eclecticism in Austin, history in San Antonio and Ft. Worth, beaches, mountains, prairies, deserts, corn nuggets, Houston Astros, a great state! And the women...wow!

Mississippi: beautiful state, nothing like the smell of pine forest on a warm, rainy morning. True southern food, great southern hospitality, Southhaven and Gulf Coast are emerging as thriving areas. If I didn't choose Texas to live in, it would be Mississippi!

Kentucky, while beautiful, is no hotbed of economic growth and progessive thinking. The politicians have helped to prohibit growth and development. People are, by and large, guarded and frankly hateful (especially Louisville); small towns are very sheltered and closed off to "the outside." I'm a native who has NEVER felt comfortable or at home there.

" And when they were come into the house , they saw the young child with Mary his mother , and fell down and worshipped (him): and when they had opened their treasures , they presented unto (him) gifts ; gold , and frankincence , and myrrh." Matthew 2:11. Today when Catholics go into a church the first one they address is Mary.We were recently at a Catholic funeral and the only time the name of Jesus was said is when they would "Hail Mary mother of Jesus." Why didn't the wise men say "Hail Mary mother of Jesus when they saw her ????

Muslims had the highest male unemployment rate in GreatBritain. At 14 per cent, this was over three times the rate for Christian men(4 per cent).

Among women, Muslims again had the highest unemployment rate, at15 per cent. This was almost four times the rate for Christian women (4per cent). Hindus (11 per cent) and Buddhists (10 per cent) had the nexthighest rates.

Men and women of working age from the Muslim faith are also more likely than other groups in Great Britain to be economically inactive, thatis, not available for work and/or not actively seeking work.

Among working age men, Muslims had the highest overall levels ofeconomic inactivity in 2003-2004 – 30 per cent compared with 16 percent of Christians. Within each religious group women were more likely than men to beeconomically inactive. More than two thirds (68per cent) of Muslim women of working age were economically inactive compared with no more than a third of women of working age in each ofthe other groups.

Your freedom only lasts until you break a law & laws by their very existence curtail freedom.

So what is actually 'free' about our country?

Let me first start by saying that this question is not meant for starting any fights. I was wondering why it seems that no matter what a Christian says on here, somebody always has something rude to say or throws the whole "it's just a myth" thing at them? I don't mean to offend anyone and i also now that Christians will be perscuted. It just seems that on this site Christians can't say anything to please anyone.

I am a Christian and for the most part, the rude slander just makes me want to learn more about my Savior.

God bless.

I'm sure most of you have seen some medieval paintings, statues, carvings and books which show God "the Father" as an old man, slightly bulky or muscular, wearing a robe with long white hair and big, bushy white beard. However, these were made in countries where Catholicism or trinitarian Protestantism prevailed. According to Trinitarianism, the three are one essence and only Jesus has a physical body. From the earliest times, Christianity has taught that God is a Spirit.

Personally, I don't believe in trinitarian doctrine. I'm just curious as to why they used to portray God is this way.

If I had a relative who was Jewish, but I am not related to that person directly; the person is a cousin several time removed. Would that mean I have Jewish blood or I'm a Jewish-American?
