It seems like 98% of the time if they have something bad to say about gay people they also go after other races.

I saw these quotes from a website about how bad the Bible talked about the woman..
Genesis

God fashions a woman out of one of Adam's ribs. This was necessary since Adam couldn't find a "help meet" in any of the animals that God made for him. 2:20-22

Adam blames Eve and Eve blames the serpent. 3:12-13

God punishes Eve, and all women after her, with the pains of childbirth and subjection to men. 3:16

Adam is also punished, although less severely. He now will have to work for a living because he "hearkened unto the voice" of his wife. 3:17

Lamech is the first of a long line of biblical men with more than one wife. It seems that God approves of such marriages. 4:19, 23

And there are many others but I wouldn't like to make the question too long.

Sorry if it would be offensive for some of you...

Thank you in advance!

I am a Catholic. I really wish to have a few friends of the same faith so we could help one another strengthen our common faith. Please give me some relevant websites where I can find such.

You ever read the bible? In the first chapters humans eat the fruit and gain wisdom and are then kick out in to the world to die and reproduce...Later in the tower of babel story all humanity comes together as one and trys to take down god...later after moses frees everyone god asks the people do you want me to rule you or a man? they choose a man thus king david and all that...then theres job that gets his family killed of and what not so god can show the devil he will love him no matter how many times he hits him with pain...finally theres the book of revoations that talks of world peace being achived by the "devil" only to get destroy by a war with god.
Seems like a common theme...Believing in a religion aways brings a downfall. what do you think?

What do you think of this quote? What comes to your mind?

"The truth is, after the fall of the Muslim Empire in the 1800's, in many places culture and nationalism over shadowed the teachings of Islam. Take for example the tribal areas in Pakistan, where women are not given their rights despite the men being Muslims! This is suppression as seen by Islam! At the end of the day it is the responsibility of the people to ensure that they follow Islam so that everyone gets their rights. But unfortunately despite being many, the Muslims have strayed from the teachings of Islam. That is the same reason why no one should judge Islam based on the actions of an individual - because individuals can change but Islam does not change since it is the Truth from God."

I have seen all the Superman movies....

Superman: The Movie
Superman II (& The Richard Donner Cut)
Superman III
Superman IV: The Quest For Peace
Superman: Returns

And I have watched all the TV shows about Superman and read all the comics books.

Can you point out in what ways Jesus & Superman are alike?

There are a few similarities that I am aware of, one is that they both love to save people.

Can you find more????

(NOTE: Superman is a fictional character, Christ is a real human being. That is a difference between them. NO POINTS TO PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT THEY ARE BOTH FICTIONAL).

What do you think of these facts? These are not just facts because somebody has the opinion they are, they are in the histories of these countries and cultures. What do they make you think and what does the following quote make you think?

"Women in Islam are seen as the greatest treasures this world has to offer. Not speaking in a sense of possession of course, but rather in the sense of creation. The Prophet of God, Mohammed once said, 'There is no greater treasure on this Earth than a good pious believing woman'. Islam was the first way of life in the entire world to give women an equal status to men in the civilized world. Difficult to believe? Lets take a look at the facts then.

Ancient Greece - women held no position in politics, had no right to vote, but were rather treated as 'sex objects'

Ancient Egyptians - With the exceptions of the Pharaohs families, other women were considered inferior

I am sure there are al ot of lovely people in america that are conservatives, but my personal expiriences with some of them have been rather scary. Everytime i hear a republican politician adressing some issue i feel i am listening to the most close minded people i have ever met. It surprises me how so many people manage to merge religion, racism, and intolerance and dont feel that there is anything wrong with them. I gotta say i am more affraid of white american conservatives and their inability to look beyong thier out of date beliefs than anything else in the world, i hope i never set foot in that country, Are you as scared as i am?

I am half White and half Asian but I don't think I look very Asian. But it seems like everyone thinks I do. I have green eyes and light skin and I don't think I really look Asian more like Hispanic. My boyfriend is White and he says he considers me "Asian" but I get so mad when he says that. I don't know why.
