Society & Culture - 23 January 2007

all the black girls ever tell me is that i should be white, because my name is sarah, i have a white boyfriend, and i know how to talk proper, i am quiet for the most part and then they sometimes say i am not shaped like a black girl because i am not thick! i cant help that im skinny, i have a fast metabolism. i dont try and act like anything i am myself, my mom raised me to not be ghetto, she grew up like that and refused for me to be that way. being ghetto gets you no where!!!! my mom taught me how to talk not white, not black but proper, i just dont get why its a big deal, you would think that most black people would be glad there is someone who defeats our stereotypes. i am smart, i get good grades, i have a very good job!
can someone please explain this to me???

I think it's not a place tool to use, some of the parables and stories do make good points. When it's taken as a source of information to use as education in a light manner, like perhaps read alongside Dr Suess, it does contain some very good tales to help kids along with helping others.

However, when it is taken too seriously, when kids are taught to 'believe in it or else', I feel then it is a very dangerous and unhealthy tool. When people start preaching it's the actual word never to be questioned, it gets creepy, and kids begin to unravel and miss the educational points that it contains. Instead of learning from it in a healthy way, they instead develop an unhealthy obsession to preach it to others through fear and guilt trips.

Unhealthy:

"Believe in it or go to hell"..."You're wrong, you need to repent for this book is the truth!'...

Healthy:

"hey, the moral of this bible story was that doing so will result in bad things, its a good parable to learn from"

So you know how there were dinosaurs, and that they were pretty big, and ruled the Earth for longer than humans have so far, well why didn't God write about them in the Bible? Was he embarrassed about them, and hoped we wouldn't notice their fossilised remains? Or were they completely separate, and did he write them their own dinosaur Bible before killing them all off and creating his next plaything, us?

I'm glad that celebrities have a hearts and want to help. But don't they realize that there are orphans in the U.S.? Don't they realize there are homeless people in the U.S.? People in the U.S. get AIDS? Poverty and hunger exist in the U.S. too.

I'm not saying that what's going on in other countries isn't terrible and no one should help. I'm glad that they do get help. But for once I'd like to see celebrities rally behind the country that gives them so much. Stamp out the problems here at home before taking on the world so to speak.

Am I making any sense?

I'm talking both of them attempting to persuade the other back and forth to join their cause and religion. Each quoting scriptures, throwing out stories, and doing their best to 'win' over the other person?

Would one eventually convert the other, or would they eventually get furious at one another resulting in violence?

from my previous question i read some answers from christians who agree that Jesus isn't God but a son of God instead.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AutPs.eB0.lxFJjLBgfOBZrsy6IX?qid=20070123091746AAlsaE5

ok if that was the cause then why do you insist that God, Jesus and holyspirit are all one ? worshiping the trinity means that you worship God, Jesus and holyspirit.
if you already know that God is your only God, then why do you worship partner beside him? why do you insist in worshiping the trinity and u well aware that Jesus asked you to worship only the God who sent him? why?

New equality laws. Is the church crying what about our rights to abuse and discrimiante against gay folk.

Is that like kkk being made to be nice to black people.

http://u.tv/newsroom/indepth.asp?id=78960&pt=n

And the Nazis forced to treat jews equal.

Or how about the 60s when the american scum of the deep south were crying about having to let black people go to the same school as white folk.

or how about when they weren't allowed to rape, torture, multilate and burn at the stake new age wicca witches.


Funny how all these people the church want to abuse have no history or wars, oppression, mass murder like the church and islam.



As for unatural... You get gay sheep and it appears natures birth control.

Plus gays tend to be creative and make life good for others, entertainers and make women look sexy.


The god made Adam and Steve not Adam and Eve one. Well weren't god supposed to create everything? Adam and Steve too?


Sinful? not hurting anyone
