NOT lessen it?

i mean, come on, all these people fighting tooth and nail just to show their love and commitment for one another.

THAT's what marriage should be about.

Why are asians and blacks always perceived as immigrants, no matter how old they'be been citizens?
It's just a personal obesrvation. I don't know if I'm making myself clear. My point is, when you look at a white American man, you don't question his ancestry . But when you look at a an asian, you feel he's a recent immigrant, and not an authentic citizen.
I saw many brochures advertising for the United States, and most of them showed white cowboy men and blonde girls
Why are only european immigrants perceived as the authentic citizens, while non-whites are viewed as foreigners. For instance, when you think Australias, you think white anglo-saxon men, although Australia is, too, a country of immigrants.
Why is "white" the national race?

In education, the old model was to get students to repeat tasks, though they often did not understand. In the new model, students are guided into life-like problems, and asked to create answers, questions and meaning. How does God teach us?

You are smart and sensitive,
Sure, but not cocky.
Reliable as a Ford Truck,
When the road gets rocky.
You're there for your friends,
Any hour they may call.
First to run for the save,
When you see that friend fall.
You put others out front,
While you hang in the back.
When the rope comes up short,
You throw them some slack.
You never ask for favors,
Yet favors you give.
You are so full of life,
You make others glad to live.

Does this describe you?

Having here on earth with terrorism?
I posted the Huge Solar Sytem Dust Cloud coming from MArs as a clue that Space is out of control, because Jesus is on his way..There is no PEACE until he arrives ANYWHERE.

The SUN is in a uproar and that is why this 2012 Theory has some merit because the SUN will cause some cataclysmic event. Soon NASA Will not be able to see anything in space and everyone will have to rely on the Supreme Being for Hope Protection and GOD's plan for mankind and the universe.

Science and the Goverment cannot protect you..Why can't you unbelievers see that you have no hope? Its' your choice but it's baffling. Don't you want Utopia? GOD promies us that.

Finally for the first time in my life I am going to see my father. I'm 15 and I have never met my father. He lives in New York City. I don't know what to expect, he left when I was 3 months. My mother isn't going to be with me so I will be seeing him by myself. the fact that i don't know who my father is has caused depression. By the time I meet him I will be 16, it is going to be next summer in June, what should I expect or prepare for? This isn't going to be a happy meeting, I'm angry sad and who knows what i might say or do.

Also, I greatly appreciate any thoughtful, respectful answers you give, this is really important to me...
In case you need to know, my mom said was a deadbeat... but who knows...

I live in Illinois so I my mom and jerk of a stepdad will be far. The closest family I will have are my older cousins from my dad's side who live in Philidelphia, they will be taking me to NYC.
I don't know if you will find this important but my real father is Costa Rican.

And don't give me the "free will" nonsense. If god exists and if he/it is all-powerful, then it follows that everything is according to his will and nothing can be otherwise. Therefore, there is no such thing as free will.

I figure that if we give them a section, all the atheist trolls can go there and rant amongst themselves instead of picking fights with Christians and other theists.

Growing up, the words God Christ Church Heaven and Bible were just not spoken. It was just not a part of our lives.. Now.. I have a daughter.. Ive lost my husband because he was unfailthful.. and Im just looking to make my like better.. Make my life more fufilling.. and Im interested in "checking into" Church, and god and seeing if it's something that is for me, something that calls to me. But I don't have the slightest clue HOW to begin. I guess my biggest thing is what denomination church will I fit best into? I'm already turned off by Presbyterian and Catholic. I'm not a fan of a church ruling over my life, I want it to be a support to my life. Any suggestions on how to approach this?

That is, what is its nature? Why are the actions labeled "sin" so bad?

One perspective is that sin involves some kind of obsession with the self, while love is selfless. Thus, it is the "self" that is the problem. If this is true, do you think that a selfless person who commits a sin that harms no one is guilty of evil?

What is your perspective? Try your best to see it from God's point of view.

No "God/The Bible says so" answers. I'm asking for thought, here. If you have nothing to contribute, don't bother.

But is the SUN , Science and GOD's will converging by what we see and what the Bible tells us?
Here is more Space info:
Callas said the storm's growth rate was shocking.

"The rovers have weathered weaker storms in the past, which developed over the course of weeks, but nothing like this. This thing came out of nowhere," he said. "The dust levels just skyrocketed."

John Wilson, a planetary scientist who studies Mars' atmosphere at the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration in Princeton, N.J., says the topography of Mars' southern hemisphere is probably to blame.

"The southern hemisphere, on average, is about 4 km (2.5 miles) higher than the northern hemisphere, which helps dust storm formation go global," Wilson said, explaining that Earth experiences a similar storm-fueling phenomenon near India

There's an old man named Chet Yorton whose in his 70's now, and he works out, he has an unbelivevable body for HIS age or ANY age rather. Now, he can do this (Working out until the day that the lord calls him to ride off in that chariot in the sky). Here's my question, Can you stay like this forever or will eventually even he will have to accept old age and have his body break down and start looking old eventually? If so, how will he die of natural causes if he's healthy?
