If you try to teach a dog arithmetic / math, it will never comprehend no matter what you do or how long you try; the dog will just simply never comprehend.

What if we just simply aren't built to comprehend the purpose of the Universe or how it was created? What if we are limited to learn about the Universe just as dogs are limited to learn Arithmetic?

I'd like you all to just ponder exactly how this world came to be. Why are we here? How are we here? God created everything, but how? What are we made out of? How large is our universe? What is the concept of infinity?

All these questions just cause us further confusion, hence the Dog trying to learn Arithmetic metaphor.

I mean seriously, Jesus your great, awesome, mighty, I really think someone has a self image problem. they say jesus was without sin, but he seems pretty full of himself. I went to church once to see what it was like, yea...Jesus is great, thats the message i got out of it, and I suck because I am not Jesus. way to start a sunday. i can see why people hate going to church, the whole time your there your telling some dude how great he is and than saying how unworthy you are. whatever. is there a religon where the god is like, I created everything, but get off your knees, don't pray to me, use that time and have fun, because I only put you on this earth for a limited amount of time. I mean how much praise does one god need?

I was raised as a christian. My dad is a pastor for over 20 years. I have lived in 4 major cities. every one of the church's (predominately black) never had a full white couple ( as oppose to interracial) in it except for one. Now my dad used to go to white churches to preach but their would also be full black couples their.

Why do they talk back with a mouth that should be washe out with soap. Why is the brain always in Neutral unless its what they want! Why are they so ME ME ME ME! Selfish and self centred and only give a crap about themselves. Why are they Lazy? Why do they disrespect everyone. Why do they act before thinking? In general why do Teenagers in this day and age have to be such jackasses.

I have noticed that many Christians on this forum when asked a question, spout off the apostles creed or just answer with JESUS IS THE ONE! Well I believe the apostles creed, and I believe Jesus is the one, but I don't think people need to be preached at, thats what gives Christianity a bad name half the time. Is there a reason people do this preaching method that I don't understand? Or am I right in thinking that answering questions with "Jesus Rocks" doesn't make a full answer?

It seems that every race has a different religion. It begs the question, if we were all the same race would there be only one religion?

There was this thing on tv about a while back. That talked about egyptian Mummies it was really cool. They where still trying to find one guys tomb. They told us this guy might still be a live because of the curses that was put on him. He will walk the earth again they said. Scary! who believe that and who ever heard about this guy? I wish I did not forget his name that way I could have looked him up.

Do you believe in it and if there is an 'unforgivable sin', wouldn't that contradict the qualities of an ever-loving and ever-forgiving God?

Any liberals out there? You might be surprised to find that the liberalism practiced and advocated today is not true liberalism according to the founder of liberalism-John Stuart Mill.

What communities are the most open to interracial dating? For example, I've heard that Minneapolis has many black-male/white-female couples, with less "stigma" than in many parts of the country.

And what parts of Europe are the most open to black-white dating? What parts are the least open?

And I'll admit that I pretty much assume that all Asian countries are generally hostile to black people as romantic partners, and that throughout Latin America being black ("openly black" so to speak) is a negative in terms of dating (despite the fact that many Latinos have some degree of African descent)... am I wrong to make these assumptions?

Thanks for your help.
