noticed that more people are being racist to asians because of the actions of Cho. I personally feel this is wrong, for the whole asian community to be singled out for the wrong doings of one misguided person. Let's say if another Asian person did this, and another asian person. Let's say that asian people get stereotyped for being this way, and then society treats you worse. This would coerce more people to commit the actions of Cho. Pretty soon, society will view Asian people this way. This is how it for black people everyday. They are prejudged by people everyday and yet Asians *MANY NOT ALL*, prejudge blacks all the time despite what has happened to some of them due to Cho's actions. Why, do many Asian ppl open shops in statiscally bad areas, and expect to be treated well? Anyway, how would you feel if YOU were always compared to how the media portrays you? For those that have experienced racims/prejudice over the acts of Cho, you only have a glimpse of what it's like.

Are you all lukewarm in your beliefs or what? You bash science constantly and reject most of its findings, yet you have no problem using computers that wouldn't be in existence without science. Do you reject antibiotics and the internal combustion engine and modern agriculture as well? If you were really committed to your superstitious belief system you should.

The problem with Christianity has never been a problem with Christ, but rather the problem with Christianity is Christians.

quote the bible in here, do they know what they are quoting by heart or are they just copying???
why is it that many times the quote doesnt seem to have any relationship with the question?
a- that is the only thing they know by heart so they just quote the only quote they know regardless of connection to the question.
b- they cannot find a suitable quote for the question so they open the bible at random an let the spirit decide...(with 20000 pages the bible has i understand you cannot find a "logical" answer/quote quick enough...it is understandable)

I always assumed that Jesus would be this handsome, handsome guy on the outside. However, today in bible study I learned that He was good looking. Isaiah 53 describes him.

I grew up as a catholic but I was never taught about how He looked.

Did anyone else know this?

I've just been watching the news and there was another snippet of Bono saying that if governments put their minds to it, extreme poverty could be halved in the near future.
I'm sure Bono is right, but if was campaigning on a platform of - "If governments put their minds to it, the world's population could be halved in the near future" - Do you think he would get as much support?

The reason I am asking is that whatever the campaigners, charities, and philanthropists do to aleviate world poverty and hunger, the net result is always an increase in population, and this just pushes the problem forward to the next world crisis.

It seems to me the only effective way to combat poverty is a reduction in population, and it would be better to do this through education, contraception, and voluntary abortion, than to wait for desease, starvation, and warfare to do the job for us?

I've seen the episode twice on VH1. The first time, i didn't watch it all the way to the end. Then last night, it came on again and i decided to watch the whole thing. Then near the end when she was driving i could tell something was wrong when she looked into the camera with tired eyes. Right then and there, i said to myself, this is it, this is where "it" happens. People have it posted all over Youtube. I don't know if i was the family that i would've released that video, not the end anyway. As much as it sent a chill through my body i couldn't turn away. Anybody else see the documentary on VH1? If you did tell me what you think. And no, i don't think she planned her own death, like some people were saying on Youtube.

Merci et au revoir, pour vie.

Is it "an HDTV" or "a HDTV"

"an HDTV" sounds more natural to my ear, but I would opt to write "a HDTV" becuase I know the English grammatical rules.

Do whites that come from Africa to America (becoming citizens), call themselves African American and what about blacks that come from Europe and become citizens in America, do they call themselves European Americans?

i mean seriously, wtf is with you all? wondering if jesus can shove a watermelon up his bottom.. its so ignorant. like all you have to do all day is sit around and mock us. but, my point is, why do you do it? we have the freedom to believe what we want, but give us some respect. you hardly see christians making fun of people who do magic and blow themselves up to please their gods. i know that our religion isnt very believable, but its called FAITH. believe what you want, but just STAY OUT OF OUR BUSINESS. STOP MOCKING US it gets on my nerves SO MUCH when you ignorant people mock us like that. i mean seriously. i'd really like to know, just, WHY?

Do people not realize that saying god did it is the EXACT SAME THING. Supposedly god created everything from nothing so how exactly is this something that can be used to refute evolution and the big bang?

For those who wish to learn more on how life was actually created google Miller Urey and see how they created essential amino acids from effectively nothing.

Do any of my atheist brothers & sister ever feel moved to feel really good and even celebrate because he or she, as a human being of the 21th century, is unburdened by the sad absurdities of a Bronze Age god of war and genocide and slaughter of the innocent and human sacrifice? I know I do. As I read posts here, I feel the need to ask if perhaps there is a particular gene which causes an intelligent person to wrap him- or herself in a primitive and violent religion. Europe, or a good part of it, seems to be disgarding gods and Isabella-esque moral rot. Our nation, alas, our once bright and shining republic of such hope and promise, appears to be stuck in a growing sinkhole and losing the name of action (an ounce of Hamlet there; I'm sorry). What are your thoughts, my noble atheist comrades? Seriously, I would treasure them.
