Do you think people really comprehend what they read? I posted "Pulling the race card or does racism still exist? Do you think racism still exist?

I qualified the question by saying " I just read where a young lady said "Black people want to be superior" based on that statement I asked the above question.

One of the replies was " wow. you are a perfect example of a form of racism - why are you trying to eneralize entire groups of ppl...very ignorant..and you're extremely naive if you think racism doesnt exist honey...get educated fast. "

I do not think she read or comprehended the question as I made no generalizations of any kind. I never was inclusive of any group saying all black people or all asian people, etc. Yet I was called a racist the funny thing is I am a minority person of color. One young lady said I must not be a minority.

NEW QUESTION. Has skimming rather than reading and drawing inferences rather than comprehending become the new trend?

Since I'm in Portugal, my geography thought that it would be a good idea for us to know this country better and he gaves as homework to research and write an essay about portuguese people.

Do you guys know what are some stereotypes about Portuguese People, if you don't know...just tell me your opinion about them, because this work is very important for my 4th quarter grade.

I am willing to give 52 euros which I have to my girlfriend who wants to learn Italian and who never left the US. I think it is probably the coolest gift because it shows how much I think of her. I will also buy her a small complete course for Italian so that she can learn Italian since she always wanted to learn Italian. She has no idea that I will offer her this. Is this a great idea?

is the money a good idea or bad? its a lot in terms of dollars like $70. its just a gift.

In Eden if Satan had not beguiled Eve, that fateful domino of a curse would not have come cascading down and there would be no need for bloodshed of ANY kind.
Also did you know that the curse he set in motion not only caused perfect man to become imperfect it actually compromised the integrity of the entire universe!-Romans8:20,21
That’s why we have earthquakes, tsunamis, tornados etc.
Satan is endowed with certain rights as is all of God’s gods. That’s right you are also a god (little “g”) that is part of our heritage being made in God’s “image”. We are eternal beings inside of this body of clay- John10:34 and YOU have certain rights imparted to YOU by God. You may choose to squander your rights but Satan invokes his rights at every opportunity and laughs at you. God has a limit on how long he will allow his creation to remain imperfect He will restore it.
In the mean time why are you allowing Satan to play three card molly on you?

In the bible god is portrayed as a vengful spoiled brat who punishes those who dont worship him, who causes horrible things to happen to "good" people, basicaly a cruel SOB.
Then why should we be any different?

Church, than how the Holy Spirit is explained in the bible?

Is it because that particular Church has a different Holy Spirit than the biblical Holy Spirit revealed in the bible?

Or is it just denying the Holy Spirit as revealed in the bible. Or is it just rejecting the bible as true?

When your parents punished you because you didn't follor their rules, did you think to yourself, they must not love me, because if they did, they wouldn't have punished me?

I hear people say, if God loves us, why would he send some to hell to be punished?

But isn't that the same philosophy? God loves you and knows and wants whats best for you (just like your parents). He has rules. If you do not follow the rules you face the punishment.

If your parents can use that system and still love you, why can't people believe God can too?

God created human beings and he created commandments for them to follow...God did not create behaviours, or sexual idenity's or what color a person is, that is done through DNA biology (I agree with some science) so if people say GOD made me this way which I know really comes from the homosexual community, that is just going to give other people who want to say GOD created them a certain way to jump on the band wagon with this thought process.

Why can't you just say this is who I am ? God created me a human being and all other given to me BY GOD is Free Will?

If you do, would you pray for my mother-in-law Amy? She has cancer. It was in remission, but now it's come back. The prognosis doesn't sound good. (If you don't believe in God or prayer, could you just please refrain from stupid and/or rude comments?)
