I know things are harder here in USA for blacks, but if your ancestors hadn't been brought here, you'd probably either not be alive or be much worse off in Africa today.
You see how flowers can grow out of manure?
I'm NOT saying this to justify slavery; but I'd like to point out that slavery is still ripe and growing in many parts of the world, like most African women are treated as slaves by their "owners"/ I mean husbands.

Why do people address questions to atheists on this site, and when the atheists do not agree with their preconceived notion of "correctness", they get all angry. And then tell the atheists they do not belong on this site.

If atheists were not allowed on this site, how could we answer their questions?

It's interesting to me that the Bible contains much scientific knowledge and facts that were not known or understood until recent times, yet how did the people that wrote the Bible know of them unless it was inspired by God. The universe is expanding, the fountains of the deep, the hydrological system of evaporation and rain, that air has weight, the atomic makeup of the universe (Hebrews 11:3), the earth is round and hangs on nothing in space, that light travels in waves and much more. Seems that someone very intelligent wrote the Bible but the authors were not science leaders of their day...any explanations? Does anyone have more science related facts in the Bible to add.

There was a great and tall oak tree. It towered above the grass and would make callous remarks toward the grass about being so tiny.

One day a mighty storm came and ripped the tree up with it's powerful gusts. The tree lay on the ground, dying with it's roots exposed. It asked the grass, "How is it I have fallen, when I am so mighty, and you are still here."

"We bend with the wind rather than fight against it." replied the grass.

As a black man I would like to know why is society so scared and intimidated by the black race, especially the black man, to the point where society would want to lock up most of the black men and infect alot of the black women with the HIV virus. What did we as a people ever do to any other race of people to make them hate us so much?

to be a christian. Her son and I have lived together 17 years and have raised 2 children. True life is not always easy for us and we have many struggles. She claims the reason life is so hard for us is because we are not "christians". Christians go to church and she feels since we are not married, nor go to church that we are living in sin and are enternally damned. I was married 20 years ago and have not been able to get divorced though I have attempted to. I am tired of her preaching about how damned we are, and she feels free to tell my kids this as well. Since she is a christian does this give her the right to judge us? I am all for God, but how do I tell her that I think she is full of it?

Has anyone thought of keeping 2 browsers open, under different accounts, in order to be able to read the questions you are blocked from?

It's a way around the block, let's all of us become spies. I haven't done it --yet--but I've considered it. Thoughts?

Oh, to make this legal...Would Jesus block anyone from sharing in the "Yahoo! Answer's experience?"

I use to go to a Nigerian church and I noticed that the way Nigerians worshiped God was completely different.
Nigerians wear a white gown and they dance and sing which is normal but what caught my eye was when people, "fall into spirit" and spoke in a language that was alien to me. Everybody didn't "fall into spirit" only 2 or 3 who were up front and there was someone with a tablet writing down everything that the person who "fall into spirit" said. It looked like they were talking to God and God was talking back.
I think Nigerians are the only people that I know or seen that truly knows how to communicate with God.
What do you all think?

28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.

There are a few of us that have an interest in studying the BIBLE on a Question and Answer format. If you are interested in doing so, please let us know so that we might formulate a plan to do so. I would like to include ANYONE who is interested in doing so. I would like to use the BIBLE as our guide and proceed with a question and answer format. When answering questions, I feel that a scriptural reference would be needed. How do you feel about such a thing? It really should not matter whether you are a Christian, an agnostic, an atheist, a Jew, a follower of the Islamic Religion, or any other Religion to me.

This is a question that I would not personally touch even with a 10 foot pole but I'm curious as to what people think.

By the logic presented by Fundamentalists abortion is wrong because it is the murder of the unborn child. But that child is commonly barely formed, almost certainly not capable of thinking at the point that it is aborted.
The principle behind it then is what is important, that a baby that would exist otherwise, won't.

But if that is the case then every time you use birth control you are aborting the birth of the baby that would have been made had you not used birth control.

Following that logic not having sex is murder because you are aborting the baby that would have formed from the egg that is passed out of the body during menstruation.

By that logic it is murder for any good Christian woman not to have unprotected sex every month until they get pregnant. And then again after the birth.

Thoughts?
