Ok, I'm not being racist, just curious. From an evolution point of view, what is the reason for the different facial appearance of Chinese?

In particular the flater eyes, as southern asians do not share this trait as much.

I did not personally know the people who wrote the bible and since we are all God's children why should I trust their opinions or believe they are any more valid than my own?

Corinthians 7.1-36

"it is well for a man not to touch a women"but because of cases of sexual immorality each man should have his own wife and each women her own her won husband."
to the unmarried and the widows i say it is well for them to remain unmarried as i am.but if they are not practicing self-control,they should marry for it is better to married than to be aflame with passions.
now concerning virgins,i give my opinions as one hwo by the lord`s mercy is trusthworthy,ithink in view of the impending crisis it is well for you to remain as you are.are you bound to wife? dp not seek to be free are you free from a wife do not seek wife. but if u marry u do not sin and if a virgin marries she does not sin.yet those who marry will experience distress in this life i would spare you that,let even those who have wives be as though they had none and those who mourns as though they were not mourning and those rejoice as though they were not rejoicing and those who buy as though no ..

I have a full time day job and wait tables at night for some extra cash. Well, one of the other servers is on vacation, 2 are out on maternity leave, hence they're making me work 6 days a week, in addition to my day job. I ALWAYS have Saturdays off and I have to work at least the next 2. I mean, I understand that I have to help them out, but the only thing that keeps me going is my Saturdays. Now, I don't even feel like getting out of bed in the morning. It's making me depressed. My best friend is leaving for Oklahoma for vacation in 2 weeks and I won't be able to see her before she goes.

Does anyone else work this much? How do you cope with it???

Must people think Muslims hate Jesus (PBUH) but the truth is we love him and if you did not believe in him as a muslim you are not truly a muslim in fact you would be a non-believer. If you did not believe that:

Jesus was sent by Allah (God)
Jesus made Miracles even from the crib
Jesus was born of a virgin Mary
and that he is alive
He will be back

then you are not truly Muslim!


Now I as d you believe in Jesus? All Muslims will say yes!

Why do people keep separating catholics from Christians it des not make any logical sense to me. The definition of Christian is to believe in Jesus Christ, no? People People try to get along there is enough division in the religion for us to start doing division of subgroups now!

"...He (Jesus)was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God." MK 16:19
One of the two great achievements of an eminent biblical scholar of the nineteenth century, Lobegott Friedrich Konstantin Von Tischendorf, was the historical discovery of the oldest known Bible manuscript 'Codex Sinaiticus' from St. Catherine's Monastery in Mt. Sinai.
Dr. Tischendorf discovered that in this 5th century document the gospel of Mark ended at 16:8. In other words, the last 12 verses (9 to 20) were "injected" sometime after the 5th century. Clement of Alexandria and Origen never quoted these verses. You have quoted verse number 19. Today, in many of the revised versions of the Bible, the said last twelve verses appear within parentheses. (For further information please read 'Secrets of Mount Sinai' by James Bentley, Orbis, London, 1985).

".... Me being a Christian, I just cannot wait until all atheists, blasphemers, ridiculers are destroyed permently as then the earth will be a better place to live. No more chaos and craziness; all of that will end.

Also, I cannot wait until the false Christians and all of false religions are eliminated also. A True Christian is never intimidated or threated by a lowly atheist. Who told you that?

Scary world...very blasphemous. Can't wait until Armageddon."

Pascals wager is; if you're an atheist then you should worship god because then if it turns out your wrong you can still go to heaven. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN? Wouldn't it be full of jibbering religious nuts and boring people, whereas hell would be filled with, as well as murders etc., smart sophisticated intellectuals with an interest in science, philosophy, art and psychology. So.......?

We know that the bible tells us that we should view and treat our bodies as a temple. If that is the case why would circumcision be a practice that christians allow?

Most of the religions are simple and have one god.Hindus have 100 of books and 1000 of gods.Hindu was not a religion founded by some one.It was there from the begining.and will be there to the end.So its not a religion but its life and universe.Hindusum touches every thing you can guess about.I may know 2% of whole hinduisum.There is no strictness in this religion.U can follow the rules or not.It say the whole universe is you.every thing is inside you.To understand the real meaning of hinduisum its very difficult.We are taught to respect every one(not religion coz earlier times there where no religion--only one or two cultures --indian and roman)so hindus respect every religion and all cultures.We invited foriegners to our land with pleasure.Foriegners where attracted toward us coz india was rich that time and robbed all things.even though we where robbed we dint gone for war with them.coz we know that spiritual power is more important than materilistic earning and what ever u earn here u cannot take it while u go.even to understand the concept of hinduisum will take years for people following other religion.we dont compare,,or complaint any religion,as mahatma gandhi told differnt religions are different way to god which is supreme power..and hinduisum is way of life,,,,,

I, for one do not protect phedophiles. I don't care where it happens. That single individual matters above and beyond the circumstances that put her in harms way.

People, last night were saying that there wasn't much that we can do about it. Being to complacent keeps the perpetrators protected.
Is Amber in your thoughts today? Just say "Aye".
