Society & Culture - 27 January 2007

I am a 38 year old Hispanic female, living in Oregon and ready to relocate to Raleigh, NC. I have a BS in Human services and plan to seek employment within the school district. I'm curious if Raleigh has high race related tensions towards Hispanics? I understand there are many African Americans that reside there as there #1 minority. However, whenever I inquire about jobs, or watch documentaries on this are, it's 99.9% white folks in the presentations. Are people generally accepting of Hispanic people in the area? Any advice is appreciated.

I've read a few different questions with people being offened by others saying they'll pray for them. If your not a Christian and you don't believe then what is it going to hurt?

With that kind of "evidence" I can say that superman is real because it says so in many comic books.

I have seen several people say that they do not believe in Hell, so it won't affect them. Hell is a real place regardless of whether you choose to believe....If I said "I do not believe in airplanes" would that make them any less real?? What is up with this?

Isn't he sinful for (a) being a man (b)covering up child abuse by priests and transfering them instead of aiding prosecution of the priests. I am not Catholic, and I want to see catholics leave the church and become believers in the bible and not religion and tradition.

I say this is an Australian and it's about time we cut the Kiwis some slack. There's a Commonwealth Bank ad atm showing Australian cricket players backyards and then they cut to seen showing a "typical" New Zealand backyard with sheep in the rain. Personally I'm damn sick of it. There are a lot of things in New Zealand that make it better than Australia. There's much less sexual discrimination, natives get treated a lot better, less corruption and more freedom for the media.

What would happen if 2 funeral lines passed in the opposite direction on a street?

Also, what would happen if 4 funeral lines came to a 4-way stop at the exact same time?

If you don't like gay marriage, don't marry a a gay person. If you don't like abortion, don't get an abortion (*Your* embryo may have a soul, but my belief sets say that any embryo I help to create does not have a soul). If you believe in abstainance only, don't have sex.

It's called FREEDOM. That is what this country was founded on, not Christianity.

"As the Government of the United States of America is **not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion**; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

~ US Treaty with Tripoli, as approved by George Washington and John Adams.

When he came the first time they all got an " F" BUT kept their titles and long robes. They continue to lead the blind till this day because they are blind themselves.
Do you think the ecclaisiatics of today will get a better grade? or they will be another bunch of blind leaders leading the blind to their vain immaginations?
1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

(King James Bible, Romans)

2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

Why does the world have a lot of problems with weave. "Extensions, weave, wigs, pieces..." is all the same thing even if you give it a different name. All races wear it. Why is it always stereotyped to be with just African Americans? We all wear weave. Please help shine some light on this issue!

When faced with disagreement or any form of opposition christians immediately respond with "I'll pray for you". When talking amongst themselves regarding 'unbelievers' they will often say "well, just pray for them". As if this is some sort of favor they are doing for the poor un-saved ppl.

I wonder what their response would be if someone said "I'll cast a spell for you"....or "I'll make a voodoo doll of you".....or how bout "let's hold a Ritual for them".

What would the response be? Do you think they would appreciate it...as they seem to think we should appreciate their prayers?

I know when you first read this, you're most likely going to be like, "duuh". But my friend, who is a big believer, says if you do not believe, that you go to hell. She also spoke that there is only one God. That's where i questioned her about the Greek's. They believed in multiple Gods and praid to all of them. The point that i'm getting at is that since they didnt believe in our single God, did they all go to hell. I personally dont believe this to be true. I feel that in a sense that our beliefs as humans have changed sooo many times, it's hard to believe now. So many beliefs have been floating around for centuries, and i find it soo hard to believe that everyone who didnt seem to believe in our single God, that they all went to hell. My feelings say they didnt, because everyone's own God leads them down the road they choose to follow. It's so difficult when there are so many questions.
