My friend goes to a Christian College. They have a ban on inter-racial dating there for some reason. Does The Bible support this bologna?

Science is based on what can be observed, tested and explained.
Religion is based on faith, and in some cases, revealed scripture.

If there is a difference between what is observed, and what is revealed, is it better to argue which is right, or to try to explain the difference?

If we try to explain the difference, is it better to do so from a stance of proving one position right, or being open to new understanding?

What criterion do we use for determining truth?

Thoughts?

As a female of 22 I've come to realize I can't stand other girls, they just annoy me to no end. I've had some as friends in the past and realized they only got in the way when I was trying to work on something or watch a movie. What I can't stand is how they sit and talk about their lives, their love interests, I really dont care to hear it and sometimes I just find myself wanting to bite their heads off. And even worse when I go out in public, I can't stand other girls, I guess this must be a dominant temper, but I just cant get along with them without wanting to strangle them till they shut up
Its just girls i have this problem with, I get along fine with older women for the most part. It's even gotten to the point where someone calling me a girl is insulting because it seems like they're just classifying me wirth the others when I am not like them at all. Must be an alien eh? or perhaps another type of being
since I dont even act like the others.

I am a borderline religious person.
I don't really know what religion is right for me, but I know that there is one out there, I know that I am not an athiest, though there is nothing wrong with atheists everyone has their own beliefs, I just don't know what I am yet.
I have recently stumbled on Messiahic Judaism, and I don't believing in coincidences, so I was wondering if people could give me some feed back on this branch of Judaism.
Maybe give me some sights on the subject.

Thank You immensly, I know that that was a lot of jibbered nonsense above, but thanks in advance.

It is believed that God created Adam & Eve and gave them free will.

But don't Animals have free will as well? They are able to think and make decisions as well. They also do as they please.

I mean actually in real life... Meijer's, K-Mart, Wal*Mart (ugh!)? I don't know of any place that carries them and I can't get one online because a) I don't have a credit card and b)my parents would be suspicious of the package.

Hello, I have seen many sources associating east with air, south with fire, west with water, and north with earth, but lately I read a rather convincing argument for switching earth and air. Also, looking at elemental associations by Aristotle and the ancient Greeks ( http://occult-advances.org/elements.shtml ) suggests a completely different setup of water in the north, air in the east, fire to the south, and earth to the west. From my understanding the traditional european craft correspondences stem from geographic location, but the Aristotlean model seems more based on general logic. My question is, what correspondences do you use, and why?
Please, save all sarcastic answers and cut-and-paste bible verses.
Be well!

In English, the word revolution can refer to 1) the overthrow of governments or 2) the orbiting of one object around another. I know the Spanish word 'revolucion' shares the first meaning, but does it also share the second? For instance, could you use the term 'la revolucion' to refer to the Earth's orbit around the sun?

A while back a friend of mine mentioned to me that foreigners are not allowed to live in Japan or any other Asian country. My friend is not among the brightest of people so i decided to check this out. If anyone knows anything about visiting limitations or anything of that nature, that would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Multi racial is a poor choice, alot of people are multi-racial. How abt the creole/mulatto thats used in the caribbean. Google "mulatto in the caribbean" all you tragically confused people. I am proud to be called "MULATTO" even though i may appear Caucasian in appearance, thats still me.

It's obviously wrong to be a murderer, pedophile or racist but if we censor these people does it really help? If we tell people not to tell us who they really are how are they going to get the help, discussion or support that they need?

reading the Bible makes us disbelieve in the God of Christianity/Islam/Judaism more than we had previously? What can they tell us then?

Personally, I was a theist as a child, but as I grew up and and my thinking matured, theism didn't provide satisfactory explanations for why things happened anymore. I accepted that I didn't know and couldn't know the answers to existential question, and so became agnostic.
